Hi, i'm new to Stata and new to MS models.
For my master's dissertation i'm studying alternative taylor's rule models for central bank's reaction function.
I'm trying to run "mswitch dr it L1.it, switch(d.Djt L1.hiato L1.cambioN) states(2) varswitch",
where it=interest rate, Djt=inflation gap, hiato=GDP gap, cambioN=nominal exchange rate change, all monthly data and stationary (Djt stationary at first difference), from 2003m1 to 2017m12.
And i get this error:
Performing EM optimization:
initial values not feasible
r(1400);
I tried to adapt the advice of https://www.stata.com/statalist/arch.../msg00650.html to a mswitch, but it didn't solved my problem (or i did it wrong).
How can i check/estimate the initial values i must use or how do i correct the problem?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mateus
