hessian calculation failed

Dear Forum,

I have the following statement: Hessian calculation failed

This is the hessian [7,7]

I have read that I can see linear dependencies and other stuff in the hessian.
Another comment that I read is that because almost all values are 0, this could be an error.

I show you now a calculated Hessian from a model running (with correct parameter values and everything fine). You can see that almost everything is also almost 0.

This hessian is [5,5].

How can I get the Hessian to be calculated? 🙁

Thanks

Have you tried scaling your data? If you scale all your model variables so that their range is something like 0 to 1 or -1 to +1, this can often yield better results.
