[R-sig-ME] glmer and influence.me - complaining about nAGQ==0

[Ben Bolker]

   These convergence warnings are not necessarily problematic (see 
?lme4::convergence, for example). In particular, the overly large max 
|grad| is only slightly above the threshold (and, these computations can 
be *less* reliable for very large data sets); the large eigenvalue is 
similarly just a warning, not necessarily a problem.

   Do model diagnostics (e.g. with DHARMa) generally look OK?  You can 
try allFit() if you have some patience.

   The main thing I would do is think carefully/inspect model 
predictions to see whether you think RT is the more appropriate scale.
