Hi,
I am trying to run a multi-season occupancy model with a large number of sessions (64 each year for 6 years, summing up to 384 session). When I run the model, the deviance starts descending as expected, but then jumps up to a very large number (8.21841e+307) and never changes again, showing some clear convergence problem. While I am not surprised, given the complexity of my dataset, do you have any advice on how to try and improve convergence, maybe by changing some of the advanced numerical options in E-SURGE?
Thanks a lot.
