Dear S+ users!
I am trying to fit GEE models like the following to my
data (risk factors for headache, cluster sampling) . I always
get these warnings when I use a binomial family, in the case of
poisson I get the estimates. I would be glad if someone could help
me with my problem. (I am using S+ 4.* for Windows95 and GEE 4.13)
best wishes
Hanno Ulmer
