Error in runHelper NLOPT unrecognized error -1

While running simulations with the development version of OpenMx, I ran into an interesting error:

Error in runHelper(model, frontendStart, intervals, silent, suppressWarnings, :
NLOPT unrecognized error -1; please report to developers

It is somewhat difficult to replicate and it took some time to put together the attached example. As you may see in the attached, I read in the same dataset and fit the same model 10 times, obtaining likelihood-based CIs each time for a single parameter. The error only shows up for some replications.

Thought you all should know!

Error: A cycle has been detected in model

If you create a multi-group model by simply embedding the group models in a container, be sure an add an explicit model name or put the fit function first. Otherwise mxModel will interpret the first parameter as a base model to update, and adding the multigroup function will cause a "cycle" - a reference that resolves back to itself.

works:

myModel = mxModel("twoGroups", m1, m2, mxFitFunctionMultigroup(c("female", "male")))

Fails:

myModel = mxModel(m1, m2, mxFitFunctionMultigroup(c("female", "male")))

Error: The data object 'MZ.data' contains an observed matrix that is not of type 'double'

Hi Everybody!!!
I'm really naive using OpenMx. So probably my question is a silly mistake. Any way;

I try to perform a twin analysis with sex and age as covariates. I have used the script "UnivariateTwinAnalysis_MatrixRaw-3" from Dr. neale that I found in this forum. But I don't want generate sex and age data because I have mine. So I changed a bit the script.
*******************************************************************
summary(test)
selVars <- c('hear1','hear2')
mzData <- as.matrix(subset(test, zyg==1, c(hear1,hear2,sex1,sex2,age1,age2)))

Error in if (class(fit) == "try-error" || is.na(fit$output$minimum) || : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed

I'm running a measurement model (two time point common factor model) and I am getting an error message I've never seen before when I drop a parameter. I talked to AdminRobK about this, and he suggested I post it to the forums. The error reads:

Error in if (class(fit) == "try-error" || is.na(fit$output$minimum) || : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed
In addition: Warning message:
In is.na(fit$output$minimum) : is.na() applied to non-(list or vector) of type 'NULL'

mxRefModels error

Hi all,

I'm running a Qualitative Sex Differences ACE model and I'm using the mxRefModels to get the reference models, but for some variables I get a error:

Error in chol.default(sampcov) :
the leading minor of order 1 is not positive definite

executing error, band dispersion problem

Hello everyone,

I am struggling with a “band dispersion” problem.
I am trying to execute my input file with the following command:

% ./openmx input_file_name.dat

and I get the following error:

Error: unexpected input in "% ./openmx input_file_name.dat"

any idea how to fix it?

PS:
I'm working in the directory where my input file is.
I am using the latest version of OpenMX under R 3.2.2 on Win10 (64-bit).

mxFactorScores - Error: The KA matrix associated with ... is not an N x 1 matrix

Not sure why I'm getting an error when I'm trying to compute factor scores using mxFactorScores with type="ML". The model has two correlated latent factors.

Permutations Analysis non-zero status code 6 warning

Hello,

I have completed a standard ACE model of a phenotype with no errors. I now want to permute the zygosity labels of the twins and perform 10,000 permutations of the ACE model. I will then use this distribution of permitted A estimates to estimate the significance of my observed A.
