 AIREMLF90 uses a second derivative REML algrithm with extra heuristics, as is described in Jensen et al. (1996-7). For most models, it converges in far fewer rounds than EM-REML as implemented in REMLF90. While typically REMLF90 takes 50-300 rounds to converge, AIREMLF90 converges in 5-15 rounds and to a higher accuracy. For selected models, AI-REML may fail to converge when the covariance matrix is close to non-positive definite. Adjust sensitivity of the program by setting the appropriate tolerance or setting good starting values. The final results will be saved in "AIREMLF90.log". AIREMLF90 uses a second derivative REML algrithm with extra heuristics, as is described in Jensen et al. (1996-7).
