the model with warning

Hi

Thank you so much. But if so, can I report these results in my academic 
paper? Or how can I report these results properly to reviewers in my 
paper ? Or do we have to continue to find the model without warning for 
the academic paper?? If you have any suggestion, please let me know.

(Personal opinion follows.) I don't think you need to report these 
warnings in the main section of a paper **as long as you understand what 
they are telling you and are reasonably certain that they do not 
represent a problem with the interpretation/robustness of your 
results**.  These are kinds of the details that would go into 
supplementary material, if at all.

   But this does sound like it might be a case where you should try to 
find more dedicated statistical advice than you can get from an internet 
forum ...

I second Ben's suggestions. You need a statistician to look into your data
and model in order to get an idea why and where the rank deficiency occurs.
Only then you'll know how you can either solve that problem or if it's safe
to ignore it.
