[R] Looking for easy way of getting the starting value for constrOptim

Dear All,

I am using constrOptim, but facing a difficulty: how can I get the
starting value? Is there some automatic way of getting it? Since I
have many inequalities as constraints (all linear), it is quite
difficult to find a feasible value. I have tried to use rgenoud
solution as a feasible value, but rgenoud seems not being converging.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Paul
