Hello!

One note/question hier about specification of control-parameters in the lme(...,control=list(...)) function call:

i tried to specify tne number of iteration needed via lme(....,control=list(maxIter=..., niterEM=...,msVerbose=TRUE))
but every time i change the defualt values maxIter (e.g. maxIter=1, niterEM=0) on ones specified by me, the call returns all the iterations needed until it's converged.
and this is exactly the problem i will to get round. ( e.g. in example on p.81 of Pinheiro/Bates,2000: fm1Rail.lme<-lme(...,control=list(maxIter=1,...)) )
so i have tried with option msMaxIter=... and this works.


The other problem is, that i even can not see (in R !!!) the output from iterations, despite the msVerbose=TRUE specification and setting options(verbose=TRUE) (The S-plus can do it but also ignoring the maxIter=... specification)

Thank you for your hint
