Error: transreg confing with LR option

[yushuf]

Still sometimes the following error appears.

Error in uniroot(parm_d, treg$coefficients[parm] + c(-1.25, -0.75) z : no sign change found in 1000 iterations Calls: write.csv ... confint.transreg -> sapply -> lapply -> FUN -> uniroot Execution halted

Please attach data files for which the error occurred so I can replicate it. How often does this error occur?

here is the data files. difficult to say how frequently it is happening. This appeared in my third test on hypergator. That means in 8th iteration that appeared.

Thanks

I don't know what "8th iteration" means. I am looking for an answer like "This happened three times in five hundred simulations."

I also don't see the data files.

It looks like the problem occurs when the model tries to calculate likelihood ratio confidence intervals for a model in which there is a very small number of internal infections in one of the four possible covariate combinations. This is not a transreg error; it is a limitation of the likelihood itself.
