lme4 开发版的收敛错误答案

【问题标题】：Convergence error for development version of lme4lme4 开发版的收敛错误
【发布时间】：2014-02-16 03:33:58
【问题描述】：

我正在尝试使用 lme4 的开发版本和 this 教程对混合效应模型进行功率分析。我在教程中注意到 lme4 会引发收敛错误：

## Warning: Model failed to converge with max|grad| = 0.00187101 (tol =
## 0.001)

当我为我的数据集运行代码时，会出现同样的警告：

## Warning message: In checkConv(attr(opt, "derivs"), opt$par, checkCtrl =
control$checkConv,  : 
Model failed to converge with max|grad| = 0.774131 (tol = 0.001)

使用此更新版本进行的常规 glmer 调用的估计值也与我使用更新后的 CRAN 版本时略有不同（在这种情况下没有警告）。知道为什么会发生这种情况吗？

编辑

我试图指定的模型是：

glmer(resp ~ months.c * similarity * percSem + (similarity | subj), family = binomial, data = myData)

我拥有的数据集有一个主体间（年龄，居中）和两个主体内变量（相似度：2 个级别，percSem：3 个级别），用于预测二元结果（错误记忆/猜测）。此外，每个受试者内部单元格都有 3 个重复测量值。因此，每个人总共有 2 x 3 x 3 = 18 个二元响应，总共有 38 个参与者。

【问题讨论】：

我们仍在努力改进最近添加的收敛检查。几个问题：（1）您能否指出您正在遵循的教程？ (2) 是您拟合的模型（具有更大的最大梯度）单数，即如果您使用control=lmerControl(check.conv.singular="warning") 运行它是否会给您一个警告（或者，您是否有零方差估计或 +/- 1.0 相关估计)?一个可重现的例子对开发目的非常有帮助......
(1) 本教程是您在 Rpubs 上创作的。它应该（？）在问题中超链接。 (2) 没有给出该代码的警告，并且模型没有估计零方差或相关估计。为了开发和帮助目的，我在问题中包含了完整的数据集（我为篇幅道歉）。
我唯一的进一步评论是，声明这些是警告可能会很好——在 R 世界中，错误之间有明显的区别（被认为是严重的和导致程序停止而不给出答案）和警告（被认为是建议性的，并且确实会产生答案）

【解决方案1】：

tl;dr 这看起来像是误报——我没有看到各种不同优化器的拟合之间有任何特别重要的差异，尽管看起来异常值是内置 Nelder-Mead 优化器和 nlminb；内置 bobyqa，以及 nloptr 包中的 bobyqa 和 Nelder-Mead，给出了非常接近的答案，并且没有警告。

在这些情况下，我的一般建议是尝试使用 control=glmerControl(optimizer="bobyqa") 重新拟合；我们正在考虑改用 bobyqa 作为默认值（这个问题增加了有利于它的证据的权重）。

我将dput 输出放在一个单独的文件中：

source("convdat.R")

运行所有可能的优化器：内置 N-M 和 bobyqa； nlminb 和 L-BFGS-B 来自基础 R，通过 optimx 包；以及 N-M 和 bobyqa 的 nloptr 版本。

library(lme4)
g0.bobyqa <- glmer(resp ~ months.c * similarity * percSem +
                 (similarity | subj),
      family = binomial, data = myData,
                   control=glmerControl(optimizer="bobyqa"))
g0.NM <- update(g0.bobyqa,control=glmerControl(optimizer="Nelder_Mead"))
library(optimx)
g0.nlminb <- update(g0.bobyqa,control=glmerControl(optimizer="optimx",
                              optCtrl=list(method="nlminb")))
g0.LBFGSB <- update(g0.bobyqa,control=glmerControl(optimizer="optimx",
                              optCtrl=list(method="L-BFGS-B")))

library(nloptr)
## from https://github.com/lme4/lme4/issues/98:
defaultControl <- list(algorithm="NLOPT_LN_BOBYQA",xtol_rel=1e-6,maxeval=1e5)
nloptwrap2 <- function(fn,par,lower,upper,control=list(),...) {
    for (n in names(defaultControl)) 
      if (is.null(control[[n]])) control[[n]] <- defaultControl[[n]]
    res <- nloptr(x0=par,eval_f=fn,lb=lower,ub=upper,opts=control,...)
    with(res,list(par=solution,
                  fval=objective,
                  feval=iterations,
                  conv=if (status>0) 0 else status,
                  message=message))
}
g0.bobyqa2 <- update(g0.bobyqa,control=glmerControl(optimizer=nloptwrap2))
g0.NM2 <- update(g0.bobyqa,control=glmerControl(optimizer=nloptwrap2,
                           optCtrl=list(algorithm="NLOPT_LN_NELDERMEAD")))

总结结果。我们收到来自nlminb、L-BFGS-B 和 Nelder-Mead 的警告（但最大 abs 梯度的大小在 Nelder-Mead 中最大）

getpar <- function(x) c(getME(x,c("theta")),fixef(x))
modList <- list(bobyqa=g0.bobyqa,NM=g0.NM,nlminb=g0.nlminb,
                bobyqa2=g0.bobyqa2,NM2=g0.NM2,LBFGSB=g0.LBFGSB)
ctab <- sapply(modList,getpar)
library(reshape2)
mtab <- melt(ctab)
library(ggplot2)
theme_set(theme_bw())
ggplot(mtab,aes(x=Var2,y=value,colour=Var2))+
    geom_point()+facet_wrap(~Var1,scale="free")

恰到好处：

ggplot(subset(mtab,Var2 %in% c("NM2","bobyqa","bobyqa2")),
       aes(x=Var2,y=value,colour=Var2))+
    geom_point()+facet_wrap(~Var1,scale="free")

优化器之间估计的变异系数：

summary(cvvec <- apply(ctab,1,function(x) sd(x)/mean(x)))

CV最高的是months.c，依然只有4%左右……

对数似然差别不大：NM2 给出了最大对数似然，所有“好”的都非常接近（即使是“坏”的也最多相差 1%）

likList <- sapply(modList,logLik)
round(log10(max(likList)-likList),1)
##  bobyqa      NM  nlminb bobyqa2     NM2  LBFGSB 
##    -8.5    -2.9    -2.0   -11.4    -Inf    -5.0

【讨论】：

@Ben - 对于它的价值，我的数据有同样的问题，NM 产生了警告和非常不同的估计。 LBFGSB 有警告和小的差异。其他人没有产生任何警告，并且对所有参数的估计值几乎相同。谢谢！
