我正在尝试使用包lme4中的glmer函数来拟合逻辑随机拦截模型。不幸的是,我收到了以下警告信息和明显错误的结果(系数)。

Warning messages:
1: In vcov.merMod(object, use.hessian = use.hessian) :
  variance-covariance matrix computed from finite-difference Hessian is
not positive definite: falling back to var-cov estimated from RX
2: In vcov.merMod(object, correlation = correlation, sigm = sig) :
  variance-covariance matrix computed from finite-difference Hessian is
not positive definite: falling back to var-cov estimated from RX

做了一些研究,我发现glmer产生了merMod对象。依靠这个: http://jaredknowles.com/journal/2014/5/17/mixed-effects-tutorial-2-fun-with-mermod-objects 并重现"探索merMod对象的内部结构"就我的模型而言,我得到了以下结果:

### [1] "standardGeneric"
###attr(,"package")
###[1] "methods"

明显不同于

### [1] "lmerMod"
### attr(,"package")
### [1] "lme4"

如教程所示。

我的问题为什么我的对象不是merMod类?上述警告是否与此相关,我该如何解决?

这是我用来创建数据框并运行模型的代码
