[R-sig-ME] [FORGED] warning error question

[Anahí Fernández]

Hi Rolf and everyone, It was a typing error. The correct model is:

M.4=glmer(Cuenta.de.categ.asoc~carga*categ.asoc+(1|campo/foto)
          +offset(log(area.foto)),family=poisson(link = "log"),data=tipocat)

And the warning message is: "Warning message:
In checkConv(attr(opt, "derivs"), opt$par, ctrl = control$checkConv,  :
  Model failed to converge with max|grad| = 0.00167856 (tol = 0.001,
component 1)"

Sorry for the inconvenience, obviously it is not my intention to waste
anyone's time. Thanks Rolf for noticing the error even though I would have
expected another way to tell me.

Cheers, Anahí
