Error when running fit_mfgarch() with argument multi.start = TRUE

[kimngan212]

Hello,
When I try to run this line of code:
vix_3 <- fit_mfgarch(data = df,y = "return", x = "vix_sqrt_252",
low.freq = "date", K = 3, var.ratio.freq = "year_month", multi.start = TRUE)
It always throws the message:
Error in class(par.max.lik.nm) != "try-error" && par.max.lik.nm$maximum > : 'length = 2' in coercion to 'logical(1)'

Only after I get rid of the argument <multi.start = TRUE> then my code run normally.
Does it only happen to me or to everyone? How to fix this bug?

Thank you

Hi kimngan212,
It looks like it's a new error caused by changes in one of the dependencies. I am not sure how fast I will be able to adjust the R package in the coming weeks. Using multi.start = FALSE seems to be a reasonable interim solution.
Best,
Onno

Thank you for your quick reply and the interim solution still works fine.
