Hi,
I am estimating a Markov Switching models using the mswitch command.
This code runs for country 1 but not for country 2. It shows "initial values not feasible". Not able to figure out.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The code and data are given below.

Code:
keep if id==2
tsset year, yearly
mswitch dr x, switch(y) states(2) varswitch

Code:
