As the error message says, there is a problem computing the initial values for the model fitting procedure. These initial values may be hidden within the code you are using. Please read the posting guide -- we need a lot more information before we can help you. If at all possible provide a reproducible example, and tell us what packages/functions you are using (and the output of sessionInfo() ). good luck Ben Bolker ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
