Hello,
I use GAMM function (MGCV package) in R software to study relationship between pollen and pollinosis. My models include autoregressive terms. Here is an exemple: CupAR7_2<-gamm(nb_rca_2~s(Trend,bs="ps",k=49) +Semaine +s(TX03,bs="ps",k=8) +s(UN03,bs="ps",k=4) ......+pollen01 ,correlation=corARMA(p=7,q=0,form=~Trend|Annees), niter=40,control=lmeControl(maxIter=100000,msMaxIter=100000) ,family=quasipoisson, data=donnees, na=na.omit) Each model need 1/2 hour to 1 hour to get a result and I frequently get the following error messages: Erreur dans lme.formula(fixed = fixed, random = random, data = data, correlation = correlation, : nlminb problem, convergence error code = 1 message = singular convergence (7) Erreur dans na.fail.default(list(Xr.4 = c(0.00374377951791214, 0.00438373736920182, : missing values in object Does my computer lack power,(if so,what is required?) or is R limited in speed of execution or is my syntax not ok. Here are the features of my computer: processor: 3.10 GHz i5-2400 CPU RAM: 4 Go (3.87 Go) OS: 64 bits Windows 7 professionnel (Pack 1) Another question: how can we add a smoothing parameter in the model GAMM to help convergence ("sp =" is not accepted)? Thanks for your help Best regards Sylvie Martin SEPIA-Santé Bureau d'études en épidémiologie, biostatistiques, environnement 31 rue de Pontivy 56 150 BAUD FRANCE tél : 02 97 28 80 38 fax: 02 97 28 81 10 [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
