Hi everyone,
I am fitting a cross-classified model with blme, but getting 1 optimizer
warning. The code and output are shown below. Any suggestions regarding
fixing the estimation issue? Thanks!


> meta.example <- blmer(g~0+(1|Study)+(1|Subscale)+
1|Outcome:Study:Subscale),
+                       data=meta, weights = Variance,
+                       resid.prior = point(1),
+                       control = lmerControl(optimizer="bobyqa"))

> meta.example
Cov prior  : Outcome:Study:Subscale ~ wishart(df = 3.5, scale = Inf,
posterior.scale = cov, common.scale = TRUE)
           : Study ~ wishart(df = 3.5, scale = Inf, posterior.scale = cov,
common.scale = TRUE)
           : Subscale ~ wishart(df = 3.5, scale = Inf, posterior.scale =
cov, common.scale = TRUE)
Resid prior: point(value = 1)
Prior dev  : NaN
