Re: Non-linear GMM model estimation issue

I'm now getting a mix of 'Overflow' and 'Near Singular Matrix' errors, depending on starting values. Any suggestions on this? Or a...

I was initially receiving the error message 'No valid observations in equation', so tried tweaking the starting values until I no longer received the message. Unfortunately for all values I've...
