Positive Lowerbound? #15

Closed Prasanna1991 closed 7 years ago

Prasanna1991 commented 7 years ago

Hi, Sorry if the question sound too naive but I am getting positive lowerbound which I believe shouldn't be the case? I am using my own data (ECG, 1200 dimension). So I would be grateful if you could point me out the possible scenario. Thanks

This code is setup to minimize the negative log likelihood, which is actually positive. So it's correct.
