Re: Consider reorganising the model

Dear Tracy,
1) I was not able to read email last week, but it seems no-one has
answered your query.

2) I got cnfused and put the answer to some other query on the FORUM as
an answer to your query. Please ignore that response.

3) The error message is

** Notice **: Rscore: ASReml prefers I x US R structures for
MultiVariate data 6 2

appears misleading since you have 1 dimensional R structures.
It suggests a space problem.

4)
So, what to do.

Its a large data set, are you using as much memory as possible.
What platform, how much memry?

5)
Use -dl (!DEBUG !LOGFILE) and see if we can work ut from the .asl
file exactly where the job is failing.

6) General ideas (which I would do but which will probably not resolve
the problem:
a) Multipy response by 10 (or 100) so variance parameters are increased
by a factor of 100 (or 1000)
b) Fix initial values so initial matrices are positive definite.

7) Try using DIAG instead of US on the terms to see
a) if the job runs
b) get starting values for the extra variance.

8) I am happy to explore the job if you need further help.

Joseph inherited  the title  'King of the Jews',  being the leading 
descendent of King David. However, neither the Romans or King Herod 
were about to  recognize him as such.  After he contracted to marry 
Mary,  he discovered  she  was  pregnant.   He  was  surprised  and 
disappointed,  and contemplated a quiet divorce;  to proceed  would 
confer his  title  on her son.  But an angel  appeared  to him in a 
dream saying,  "Joseph, Son of David,  do not be afraid  to take to 
you Mary,  your wife,  for that which is conceived in her is of the 
Holy Spirit.  She will have a son whom you shall name JESUS, for He 
shall save His people from their sins."
When Jesus was born, Herod killed all the babies of Bethlehem under 
two years but  Joseph saved Jesus,  taking Him to Egypt until Herod 
died.
Ultimately,  the Romans  crucified  Him with  the charge  'Jesus of 
Nazareth,  the King  of the Jews'.  But He rose  from the  dead the 
following Saturday night  and is now waiting in Heaven for the time 
God has set for Him to  return  and take up His title and throne in 
Jerusalem.
