I used proc spatialreg to analyze spatial econometrics model. However, error messages kept showing up depending on model or data. "Opimization failed. Interpret the estimates with care" or "Optimization cannot improve the function value". In addition, although the message 'Algorithm converged' comes out, standard error, t value, and p value don`t appear. I specified quasi-Newton method and I specified maximum number of iterations as 1000. When I use SAR model, this output comes out.
