Hi everyone,
I encountered a problem using the coxph function for the conditional
logistic regression. I am trying to do some simulations and I really don???t
understand a mistake which happened maybe only 1 time among more than
1,000 simulations.
What appeared on the screen is the following:
Error in fitter(X,Y,strats,offset,init,control,weights=weights,:
NA/NaN/Inf in a foreign function (arg 6)
Warning message:
Ran out of iterations and did not converge in:
fiiter(X,Y,strats,offset,init,control,weights=weights,
I don???t know if the warning message could have caused the error or vice
versa.
Does anyone have just an idea of what kind of error it can be? I don???t put
I suspect that the data set in that run has 'issues'. These might include
having a near dependency among the regressors - at least when weighting as
to form the likelihood. Perhaps, (some of) the data are separable or
nearly so.
To get at this I would wrap the call in 'try' or one of its relatives and
save out the data when the error is triggered to see what gives.
Another possibility is to run interaactively and set
options( error=recover )
to try to take things apart.
HTH,

all the code because it is very long. But I guess that this error message
may have an "answer" whatever the code is?
Thanks so much in advance!
