Dear Helmut,

Have you ever tried to add/change options of MAXITER (default is only 50; may consider to increase this value) and / or MAXFUNC (default is 150) with PROC MIXED when getting convergence failure for ABE? I did that with lme() in bear recently for dataset that failed to converge using the default number of iterations. It solved the problem of convergence failure. The function optimization of PROC MIXED is the Newton-Raphson algorithm. I don't know if it works or not with PROC MIXED.

❝          CSH: suggested as an alternative in the guidance; fails to converge sometimes as well [...]


❝          FA0(1): no problems with convergence in all datasets we have tested so far [...]


All the best,

if only they could discover enough facts about a problem,
these facts would somehow arrange themselves
in a compelling and true solution.    Theodosius Dobzhansky
