Dear reader, I am trying to simulate 1000 data from nonlinear model in order to be able to do mixed effect analysis. If the program works but give you following warning message, what should I do? Can I still accept the result, which is about the precision of model parameter estimation? FALSE CONVERGENCE. in: ms( ~ - logLik(nlmeSt, nlmePars), start = list(nlmePars c(coef(nlmeSt))), control = .... SINGULAR CONVERGENCE. in: ms( ~ - logLik(nlmeSt, nlmePars), start list(nlmePars c(coef(nlmeSt))), control = .... Thanks Farinaz
