Hi Mike,

I am just about to restart an interation that did not converge on 300
iterations. I have saved both the fit-object and the output of
glmer(verbose=TRUE). I don't really get how to format the input to the
start value parameter. Does it suffice to provide the last iteration
as a character string? Here is what I got for the last iteration:

Or do you have to format it in any way? How did you do it?
