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.
