Dear Elmaestro,

Exactly. No starting value can be set up with either PROC MIXED of SAS or lme() from package nlme of R. I still have no idea about which parameter is going to be optimized with both software.

❝ 1. Just read the documentation for the Proc Mixed settings; looks to me like it isn't possible at all to control starter values for the optimiser? That would be rather silly, if you ask me.[...]

Silly? maybe. Probably it is not possible to do that or is not necessary to do that. Otherwise, it should not be that way.

Need to sneak into and have a look at the source codes of package nlme. I did that before, but still with no luck to figure out yet. Even though we can find out, there is still nothing we can do. nlme is a very big and complicated package.
