Hello, I'm running this ordered category outcome model:
glme5.very.len <- MCMCglmm(very.len.summative.o ~ 1 ,
prior=list(R=list(V=1, fix=1), G=list(G1=list(V=1,
nu=0), G2=list(V=1, nu=0), G3=list(V=1, nu=0), G4=list(V=1, nu=0) )),
random = ~emplid + deptid + grade.f + subject.f ,
family = "ordinal",
nitt=300000,
data = summative.ratings.prin.yr1.full)
I ran it first with nitt=100000 but had very high autocorrelations and
non-sensical variance components and fixed effects, so I increased nitt
to 200000 and then to 300000 but got no change. Here's the summary
output:

Is there a problem in my data or in the model?
Thank you.

Roger Bivand: The closest anyone has got so far is Hisaji Ono, who used MSYS (http://www.mingw.org/) to build PROJ.4 and GDAL (GDAL depends on PROJ.4, PROJ.4 needs a PATH to metadata files for projection and transformation), and then hand-pasted the paths to the GDAL headers and library into src/Makevars, running Rcmd
