Dear Linda,

Please could you help me understand where the problem is in the model specification. I don't know how to read which one is parameter 155. I sometimes got similar errors but in different parmeters. Many thanks.

**********

THE STANDARD ERRORS OF THE MODEL PARAMETER ESTIMATES MAY NOT BE
TRUSTWORTHY FOR SOME PARAMETERS DUE TO A NON-POSITIVE DEFINITE FIRST-ORDER DERIVATIVE PRODUCT MATRIX. THIS MAY BE DUE TO THE STARTING VALUES BUT MAY ALSO BE AN INDICATION OF MODEL NONIDENTIFICATION. THE CONDITION NUMBER IS -0.222D-18. PROBLEM INVOLVING PARAMETER 155.

You can see what parameter 155 is by looking at TECH1. If you cannot figure out the problem, please send your output and license number to support@statmodel.com.
