[R] verbose=1 setting in lmer gives no iteration results
I am using R version 3.0.1 (2013-05-16) on Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) and lme4_0.99999911-3. I run the following code from Douglas Bates "lme4: Mixed-effects modeling with R" (June 25, 2010) pg 14 and do not get any iteration information. I get the same results if I use verbose=TRUE or verbose=1L.> lmer(Yield~1|Batch,Dyestuff,REML=FALSE,verbose=1)Linear mixed model fit by maximum likelihood ['lmerMod'] Formula: Yield ~ 1 | Batch Data: Dyestuff AIC BIC logLik deviance 333.3271 337.5307 -163.6635 327.3271 Random effects: Groups Name Variance Std.Dev.

Error t value (Intercept) 1527.50 17.69 86.33 I noticed this in the structure of the output: ..@ optinfo:List of 4 .. ..$ optimizer: chr "Nelder_Mead" .. ..$ control :List of 1 .. .. ..$ verbose: int 0 .. ..$ conv : num 0 .. ..$ warnings : list() Please advise me on how to obtain iteration information with lmer.
