  • Convergence for dynamic stochastic frontier using sftfe command

    I tried to estimate a heteroscediastic dynamic stochastic frontier production function using the sftfe command, where pde is specified for the model and with the option dynamic as follows:
    "sftfe lny lnL lnK t, estimator(pde) d(tn) emean(z1 z2) usigma(z1 z2) vsigma(z1 z2) dynamic rescale". Even with the rescale option, after 175 iterations, I got the following error message.

    Hessian is not negative semidefinite
    panelsubmatrix(): 3301 subscript invalid
    _sftfe_Get_SoL_and_PoSt_ReS(): - function returned error
    _sftfe_sf_est_ml(): - function returned error
    <istmt>: - function returned error
    r(3301);

    Can anything be done at this stage to achieve convergence?
