Nonconvergence/Unstable solutions

[Dina Dajani]

Hi,

After I run gimme with subgroup estimation on 26 people, I see that 3 individuals have 'nonconvergence' or 'unstable solution' status in the summaryFit.csv. Is it safe for me to use the group, subgroup and individual level results (except for the nonconvergence/unstable folks) from this run or should I re-do the analysis without those 3 subjects?

thanks

Dina

HI Dina, 

I'd keep these analyses. This is just the status of their final model. They could have contributed to the identification of group (and subgroup) level paths. Keeping them allows you to use whatever usable information they have for those aspects of the models.
