[R-sig-ME] lmer not working

[ONKELINX, Thierry]

Dear Georgina,

Please the mailing list in cc. Someone else might join the discussion.

sessionInfo() gives all loaded packages and their version. That helps to see which versions you used.

Your code seems OK. So if it works in a clean session (try stand-alone R as well), then the data object might be the culprit. It's hard to diagnose the problem without it. See http://adv-r.had.co.nz/Reproducibility.html for more info on how to make a reproducible example. Note that it doesn't have to be the actual dataset. A dummy dataset that replicates the problem is OK.

Best regards,

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what the experiment died of.

The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.

Hi Thierry,

Thanks for your email. This is the first time I've emailed a group with an R problem and so I've never had to forward and examples of my data. For this reason can you tell me exactly what I need to send you for it to be a reproducible example?

Thanks,

Georgina
