Ron Scialis

Hi Japheth,

I've found R to be quite powerful when doing the types of estimates you're attempting, but you need good starting values for certain scripts to properly solve. Without knowing the nature of the errors you're encountering, it'll be hard to troubleshoot your specific problem. As an FYI, StackOverflow is a great resource to use when trying to debug R code.

Japheth Ng'etich

Hi Ron

Thank you very much. I will consider your resourceful response.
