Hello R Users,

I am trying to use the svyolr command and coming up with the following error:

Error in MASS::polr(formula, data = df, ..., Hess = TRUE, model = FALSE,  :
  attempt to find suitable starting values failed
>From what I have read online, a possible solution is to specify a value in the 
>start argument of svyolr; unfortunately, I have not been able to find any 
>detailed/clear descriptions about how to go about specifying values for the 
>start argument.  Any help in explaining how to go about establishing 
>reasonable start values would be greatly appreciated.

library (survey)
library(RCurl)

data <- 
getURL("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cbenjamin1821/careertech-ed/master/elsq1adj2.csv";)
elsq1ch <- read.csv(text = data)


#Specifying the svyrepdesign object which applies the BRR weights
elsq1ch_brr<-svrepdesign(variables = elsq1ch[,1:16], repweights = 
elsq1ch[,18:217], weights = elsq1ch[,17], combined.weights = TRUE, type = "BRR")
elsq1ch_brr

allCColr <- 
svyolr(F3ATTAINMENT~F1PARED+BYINCOME+F1RACE+F1SEX+F1RGPP2+F1HIMATH+F1RTRCC,design=subset(elsq1ch_brr,BYSCTRL==1&G10COHRT==1),na.action=na.omit)

?
