Date: 2008-04-04 15:56 Sender: Douglas BatesThe mcmcsamp method does work for LMMs in version 0.999375-10 and later but can still get stuck when values of a variance component approach zero. Redundant parameters (a la Gelman et all, JCGS, 2008) may help - however I am still concerned about whether they make sense because the posterior density is improper in those cases.
