Hello! I am trying to run a GLMM using LME4, and keep getting the warning message: "In mer_finalize(ans) : false convergence (8)" I am quite new to R, and in looking into this thus far, it appears that there are a variety of reasons why this might occur, such as needing to standardize some parameters or if all subjects in one combination of parameters all have the same outcome. I also understand that the warning does not necessarily mean that the model results are invalid, but they might be...however, I am unsure how to interpret this in my own situation. I started with a somewhat more complex model, but kept simplifying it to see if I could get the warning to go away (so it might indicate which predictor variable was the problem...). However, even when using a single fixed effect variable (just sex, for instance), I continue to have the problem, which makes me think the issue may be with my random effect. Here is the model I would like to run: mm1=lmer(BinomialOutcome~AgeGroup+Sex+Study.Site+(1|BearID.reformatted),family=binomial) The study is based on bear captures over a period of time, such that some bears are captured only once, while others many times (in a very unbalanced fashion); I would like to use all the data, but want to account for resampling of specific individuals. However, this means that there are nearly 600 different bear IDs, and I am wondering if this is the reason why the model will not converge? If so, what is the best way to address this? Or other ideas as to what might be going on? When I run the line above with verbose on, I get the following: > mm1=lmer(BinomialOutcome~AgeGroup+Sex+Study.Site+(1|BearID.reformatted),family=binomial) #random effect: Ind with intercept of 1,

message:In mer_finalize(ans) : false convergence (8) I read something on another thread about high values (like the -9.6) being a problem here, but I do not completely understand how to interpret or address it. The model will run (those results pasted below), and appear highly significant, but I do not know to what extent they can be trusted...in case it is relevant, I am using the 64-bit version of R 2.15.1. (I also tried running it in the 32-bit version, with the same outcome.) On another thread I also saw a suggestion about maybe trying a development version of R with updates using lme4a(?), but I am not sure where/how I would access that. Would this be similar to using the pre-release version of R 3.0? Any help is greatly appreciated!
