It's once I started adding additional covariates found in model4 (smoking, diabetes and CVD) that I started getting problems. \r\nI just tried running on a full model too (just GDS for depression) and it's still giving me the same problem. \r\nI tried fixing the variance at q@0 i@0 and s@0 as well as increasing the iterations, but it still gave me errors. \r\nDoes it make sense to think the problem is in the covariates?"}}
