<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Hello,<BR>
<BR>
I have tried to install glmmADMB two ways on my Mac OS 10.6.4 and I keep getting an error when I go to run the examples. <BR>
<BR>
> fit = glmm.admb(y~Base*trt+Age+Visit,random=~Visit,group="subject",data=epil2,family="nbinom")<BR>
Error in glmm.admb(y ~ Base * trt + Age + Visit, random = ~Visit, group = "subject", : <BR>
The function maximizer failed<BR>
<BR>
I first installed via the directions on the left of this page: <a href="http://otter-rsch.com/admbre/examples/glmmadmb/glmmADMB.html">http://otter-rsch.com/admbre/examples/glmmadmb/glmmADMB.html</a><BR>
<BR>
The only thing I had to do differently was finding the location of the nbmm and bvprobit files. I found them here on my machine: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.11/Resources/library/admb and replaced them with those from macversions.zip<BR>
<BR>
I also tried the install from: install.packages("glmmADMB", repos="<a href="http://">http://</a>r-forge.r-project.org")<BR>
<BR>
I have tried looking online for a solution with no luck. Could you please direct me on how to fix the problem?<BR>
<BR>
Thank you,<BR>
<BR>
