I am trying to run a GLMM on some binomial data. My fixed factors include 2 dichotomous variables, day, and distance. When I run the model:
modelA<-glmmPQL(Leaving~Trial*Day*Dist,random=~1|Indiv,family="binomial") I get the error: iteration 1 Error in MEEM(object, conLin, control$niterEM) : Singularity in backsolve at level 0, block 1 >From looking at previous help topics,( http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/02a/4473.html) I gather this is because of the dichotomous predictor variables - what approach should I take to avoid this problem? Thanks, Elva. _________________________________________________________________ Got a favourite clothes shop, bar or restaurant?
