Restart mixed effect model estimation with previously estimated values
问题 I'm using lmer() in package lme4 to estimate mixed effects models. This works well, but now I want to run the estimation process for a fixed number of iterations, then resume the process by specifying start values, as calculated by the last estimation process. According to the help for ?lmer this is possible, by setting the arguments: start - these are the new start values, and according to the help one can extract the value in slot ST from a fitted model and use these, i.e. use x@ST maxiter
