Hi,
Positive LogLs happen and are expected!
The use of the LogL in GLM's has been previously addressed on this list. One of Arthur's explanations was:
"The LogL value reported by ASReml is for the analysis of the working
variable. As this working variable changes between iterations and especially between models, the LogL values are not comparable - even to confirm convergence of a particular model."
Regards
Bruce
