Hi: I'm using function lmer from package lme4, and I get this message:
" There were 12 warnings (use warnings() to see them)" So I checked them: Warnings 1 to 11 said: 1: optim returned message ERROR: ABNORMAL_TERMINATION_IN_LNSRCH in: "LMEoptimize<-"(`*tmp*`, value = structure(list(maxIter = 50, ... and Warning 12 said: 12: IRLS iterations for glmm did not converge in: lmer(Enfermo ~ Bloque + Trat * Var * dia + (1 | IDfruto), data = desinf, ... There was no error message in the call of lmer function, so: What do these warnings mean? Do these errors occur at earlier iterations but finally the model converges? Can the model I got be trust? Thanks, Gabriela. PD: I'm using: Windows XP , R 2.1.0, Package lme4, version 0.95-6 And the fitted model was: modelo1 <- lmer(Enfermo ~ Bloque+Trat*Var*dia+(1|IDfruto), data=desinf, subset=!desinf$dia==1&!desinf$Trat=="Sin_inoculo", family=binomial) ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
