Hello R users
I ran more than 100 logistic regression analyses. Some of the analyses gave
me this kind warning below.
###########################################################
Warning messages:
1: algorithm did not converge in: glm.fit(x = X, y = Y, weights = weights,
start = start, etastart = etastart, ...
2: fitted probabilities numerically 0 or 1 occurred in: glm.fit(x = X, y =
Y, weights = weights, start = start, etastart = etastart, ...
###########################################################
For those cases for which I got the warning messages, shouldn't I rely on
coefficents ? It looks like I can still extract coefficients from R outputs
Are there any ways to avoid these warning messages ? or are these due to the
problems with my data (e.g., perfect separation)
Any help or advice would be appreciated
Thank you
TM
