Hi all,

I'm writing to seek out some advice regarding running PGLS for a relatively
small dataset (10 species), but with random sampling of intraspecific
variation (N ~ 40-45).

(1) I'd like to examine the links between group size (cont. outcome) and
various social network measures (cont. predictors) across 10 species of
nonhuman primates. I first tried implementing the PGLS code in Caper
package that incorporates random-sampling of intraspecific variation.
Although I am getting a seemingly meaningful output, I'm also getting the
error:

Error in pgls(mod ~ groupsize, data = primate, lambda = "ML") :
  Problem with optim:52ERROR: ABNORMAL_TERMINATION_IN_LNSRCH

Is there some way around this?

(2) Is there an algorithm for running a logistic PGLS that allows for
random sampling of intraspecific variation? Does adding a link function to
the regular Caper package code do the trick?

Thank you very much... looking forward to some feedback!

Best regards,

Krishna
