NLS and Box-Cox transformation

[harmvangoor]

Hi all,

I'm trying to estimate the following equation with Eviews:

y=(1+c(1)*x1/c(2))^(1/c(1)).

However, i'm getting an error message saying:

'division by zero'.

I guess this is because I try to divide by parameters, however it is a supply function based on an inverse Box-Cox transformation that I need to estimate. Can anyone help me out?

Cheers,

Harm

Change the starting values for c(1) and c(2).

Thanks, any idea where i can find that?

open the c vector in the workfile window.

Thanks a lot, found it!
