Dear Statalisters,

fittine a generalized gamma model with Stata 9.2/SE for testing via K=1 test
the appropriateness of the Weibull parametric survival model, I get the
following lines and error (not convergence).


. streg DMD, dist(gamma) technique(nr)

         failure _d:  MS_Conv == 1
   analysis time _t:  risk_time
                 id:  id

Fitting constant-only model:

Iteration 0:   log likelihood = -218277.41  (not concave)
Iteration 1:   log likelihood = -176430.05  
Iteration 2:   log likelihood = -154374.58  (not concave)
Iteration 3:   log likelihood = -129998.81  
Iteration 4:   log likelihood = -109341.76  (not concave)
Iteration 5:   log likelihood = -98110.045  
Iteration 6:   log likelihood = -90070.512  
Iteration 7:   log likelihood = -85689.478  
Iteration 8:   log likelihood = -84370.382  
discontinuous region encountered
cannot compute an improvement
r(430);

Is there any other way for working this problem around and checking for the
appropriateness of Weibull model?

Thanks a lot for your kindness and for your time.

Kind Regards,

Carlo
