iteration limit error in gamm and notExp2
2 messages · isidora k, Simon Wood
Isidora, What is the actual model structure that you are trying to fit? It's not clear to me that modifying the nonExp2 defaults will help convergence here, but it may be that some slight modifications of the model itself will sort things out, which is why it would be good to know what the model is. One issue with `gamm' is that it is built on PQL estimation, so there is no guarantee that fitting will converge, although it usually does. best, Simon

hi, I am trying to run a mixed effect gam using gamm (mgcv) and I get the following error: "Error in lme.formula(y ~ X - 1, random = rand, data = strip.offset(mf), : nlminb problem, convergence error code = 1 message = iteration limit reached without convergence (9)" I've read all about 'notExp2' but since I am not an expert I didn't understand that much. I was wondering if anyone has an example of the use of notExp2, or another suggestion on solving this problem. many thanks Isidora [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
