All right. I upped my level 2 sample size to 60. My log displays the

Simulation for sample sizes of 60 macro and unbalanced

There were 27 warnings (use warnings() to see them)
Error in diag(vcov(fitmodel)) :
error in evaluating the argument 'x' in selecting a method for function
'diag': Error in asMethod(object) : matrix is not symmetric [1,2]
Looking at the warnings I see:
26: glm.fit: algorithm did not converge
27: In mer_finalize(ans) : gr cannot be computed at initial par (65)
The first 25 are like 26. So, it seems I'm having the same problem as before.
Again, if this is due to a column of zeroes in my x matrix, the best solution
would be to assign zeroes to the fixed effects, but I'm not sure if there's a
way to do this.
Why don't you simply delete that variable and hence don't estimate
coefficients for it....

Well, I could increase the sample size for my second level in hopes that my
simulation would run correctly. However, a better solution would be to assign
values of 0 to the fixed effects for this pass through the simulation. I'm
such a novice with R that I don't know if that can be done. I've looked at the
documentation but it's still not clear.

OK, I think I see the problem. Rather than setting method="nAGQ" I need
nAGQ=1. Doing so throws the following error:
Congratulations, now you understood what R meant with its message
"Argument ‘method’ is deprecated."

I need some help interpreting and debugging this. One thing that I suspect is
that there is a column of zeroes in the design matrix,
So have you not even tried to get rid of that? Oh, come on.

but I'm not sure. Any other possibilities here and how can I diagnose?

Never mind-I fixed it.
My script is throwing the following error:
"Error in glmer(formula = modelformula, data = data, family = binomial(link =
logit), :
Argument ‘method’ is deprecated.
Use ‘nAGQ’ to choose AGQ. PQL is not available."
I remember hearing somewhere that PQL is no longer available on lme4 but I have
AGQ specified.
Here's the line that fits my model:
(fitmodel<- lmer(modelformula,data,family=binomial(link=logit),method="AGQ"))
If I change it to nAGQ I still get an error.
Any ideas as to what's going on?

Subject: package installtion
I'm getting the following error in a script: "Error: could not find function
"lmer." I'm wondering of my lme4 package is installed incorrectly. Can someone
tell me the installation procedure? I looked at the support docs but couldn't translate that
into anything that would work.
