We've posted a PDF file on our website with some troubleshooting tips for nonlinear estimation.
Although this written for the forthcoming Version 7 manual, most of the information will apply to any recent version of RATS, and should be of use to anyone encountering difficulties estimating a nonlinear model.
Here is the link to the PDF file:

It will be a few more weeks before the Version 7 manuals go to the printer. So, if you have questions that aren't answered by this document, or other suggestions on improving it, please email them to us at
