Resolving Identification Issues in Generalized Linear Mixed Models: A Step-by-Step Guide
A nice statistical question! It looks like you have a Generalized Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) with Poisson family, but the model is not properly specified. The error message indicates that there is an issue with identifying the random effects parameters. This is because the number of observations in the data (n) is less than the number of random effects terms in the model. In your case, the problem lies in the fact that Cohort has 25 levels (from “2002” to “2016”), but only 16 years are present in the data.
