I have fit a model with a more complex covariance structure, but the fit reports a false convergence. I have read from past posts that this can be an indication of over-specification. I went ahead and fit a model with a simpler covariance structure. It doesn't seem like I can compare the two likelihoods or the AIC or BIC to compare the two model since the one model had false convergence. Is this correct? If so, what would be a good approach to comparing the two models to validate the smaller model? Thanks for the time. Todd Remund [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
