Dear
im using eviews 8 (jul 26 2013), i have problem when i use ordered logistik, they said "unable to compute automatic estimates of starting values. use user-supplied starting values."
i read in forum that i must change in option to use user supplied. i change it
but there is problem again, "parameter estimates for limit points are non-ascending 0.
how to solve this?
for information
variable independent: obligation rating ( score from 1 - 7)
variable dependent: liquidity, leverage, profitability, size firm, growth, & auditor reputation ( 0 1)

hope the answer, thanks

best regards
misbah

Unless you share the workfile along with your own estimations, it is very difficult to find the source of the problem.

And at the very least, you might want to update to the latest version of EViews 8.

Can you post the workfile version along with a description of what model you are trying to estimate. It's not clear from this post.

The problem may have something to do with EViews' initialization of limit points:

Code: Select all

import "c:\users\???\desktop\olah data edit.xlsx"

equation eq1.ordered(d=l) y lik prof lev gro size ra 'first error

c= @runif(0,1) 'random initalization of coefficient vector
equation eq2.ordered(d=l,s) y lik prof lev gro size ra 'second error

c=0 'reset the coefficient vector
'initialize only the limit points
c(7) = -5
c(8) = 0
c(9) = 5
c(10) = 10
equation eq3.ordered(d=l,s) y lik prof lev gro size ra 'this one succeeds
