Geert,
Sorry for slow reply... I don't see any obvious problems with what you've
done, so I guess it's the usual problem that PQL just doesn't *have* to
converge, and the bit of extra flexibility of using a smooth is too much for
it in this case. If you send me the data offline I can dig a little bit more
if you like (I'll only use the data for this purpose etc. etc.)
You are right that PQL does the same thing for Poisson and quasi-poisson. I
don't think there is an easy way to use the values for the reduced dataset
fit in the full dataset fitting, unfortunately.
Another option is to use `gam' to fit the random effects. It'll be a bit slow
with 70+ random effects, as you have, and it's a bit more work to set up, but
it should converge. See ?gam.models which has some examples showing how to do
this.
best,
Simon
