you send me a snapshot of the basta output using function summary()?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Hi. I am just starting to use BaSTA. My data do not seem to converge, and I don’t get DIC values. I have tried making more simulations, but it has not worked until now. If the model do not reach convergence after, say
15 or 20 simulations, does that mean that the quality of my dataset does not allows running the analyses?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
