Gradient Convergence Criterion [1,1000000]

Use this text box to specify a number to be used for determining the convergence for iterations on a gradient to numerically solve the PROC GLIMMIX model.

The specified value is multiplied by 10-8 and entered into the NLOPTIONS statement in PROC GLIMMIX.

Note: If you see errors regarding NEWRAP convergence in the SAS log after you run the ANOVA, you should increase this number to specify a less restrictive criterion so as to avoid this convergence error. You should experiment with different values to achieve a reasonable restrictive criterion and strike a reasonable balance between convergence errors and reliability.

Please refer to the SAS PROC GLIMMIX documentation for more details.
