M. Vu. I would guess there are too many random parameters in this model.
The data would generally not be rich enough to support a model with this
many unknowns in it. I would start just with the random first order terms
and buiold it up from there.

Dear Limdep users,
I am running a random-parameters model for both cost and profit function using the same right hand side variables. It worked with cost function but I could not get through with profit function, the error is:
Line search does not improve fn. Exit iterations. Status=3
Error 806: Line search does not improve fn. Exit iterations. Status=3
Here are the codes I used:
FRONTIER;Lhs=LNP;Rhs=ONE, LNY1,LNY2,LNY3,LNW1,LNW2
,LNY1LNY1,LNY2LNY2,LNY3LNY3, LNW1LNW1,LNW2LNW2
,LNY1LNY2,LNY1LNY3,LNY2LNY3,LNW1LNW2
,LNY1LNW1,LNY1LNW2,LNY2LNW1,LNY2LNW2,LNY3LNW1,LNY3LNW2$
FRONTIER;Lhs=LNP ;Rhs=ONE,LNY1,LNY2,LNY3,LNW1,LNW2

Could you please help as I really got stuck? Thank you very much indeed.
Kind regards,
