I guess this message is because the baci variable is not a > an integer, Why would you "guess" that? Given your magnitudes, I suspect it's a scaling issue. Try centering and scaling your Baci variable before...

Ok. I`m trying to run a Poisson glmm with an observation-level random intercept. But I`m getting the following error for the 'Baci' variable: 'Error: (maxstephalfit) PIRLS step-halvings failed to reduce deviance in pwrssUpdate'. I guess this message is because the baci variable is not a an integer, and cannot be transformed into an integer as R has a threshold of 2x10^9 even in 64 bit R. It runs fine for the fungii variable. If you guys want to run the...

Can you explain why you need them as 'integer', A floating point representation can hold a value upto ~4.5e15 as an "integer" keeping the precision that you might need.

Dear all: I converted the columns (Baci, Meti, Fungii, Protozoai) into integers (using excel) and then imported the data (.txt) into R. Interestingly, the other three variables were loaded as INT, but the 'Baci' one continued as Num. I imported the data using the following command line: X <- read.delim(file.choose(), header = TRUE, dec =
