#121: Revert example MOD files in user guide to mode_compute=4 ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: sebastien | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: 4.2 Component: Documentation | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Description changed by sebastien:
Old description:
The estimation examples in the user guide are not behaving nice with mode_compute=6, because of the non-deterministic nature of estimation. Many users were confused because on some runs, the example were failing because the hessian at the mode was not definite positive.
As a quick fix, the mode_compute option was changed to 6 in 4ec5016e5fed4d51e4ac987c1e8f4bcc85f3148f and 7b59c012b992387c2cc11ab5dd5a8175051cce79.
The problem is that the examples are now a lot slower than before.
We should revert back to mode_compute=4 when #85 is fixed and we have a way to fix the seed.
