Dear experts,

When scripts were run on my PC, the estimation method was BGW. However, when they were run on Compute Canada's servers, the estimation method became BFGS automatically. I didn't change anything.
I want to use BGW on the servers because it gave better results in my case. However, I could not find anywhere how I could set BGW as the estimation method because it is the default method already.
Could you please help me out?

Thanks!

Hi

this would suggest that those computers are using an old version of R and/or an old version of Apollo
