What is the difference between GLM and GLMM?
In statistics, a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) is an extension to the generalized linear model (GLM) in which the linear predictor contains random effects in addition to the usual fixed effects. They also inherit from GLMs the idea of extending linear mixed models to non-normal data.
Is MCMCglmm Bayesian?
MCMCglmm is a package for fitting Bayesian mixed models in R and was written by Jarrod Hadfield. Its use is roughly similar to lme4’s but there are some additional complexities that the user has to deal with.

How do you cite lme4 packages?
The minimal requirement is to cite the R package in text along with the version number. Additionally, you can include the reference list entry the authors of the lme4 package have suggested. Analysis of the data was done using the lme4 package (v1. 1-26; Bates et al., 2015).
Can a mcmcglmm be used similarly to a lmer?
MCMCglmm takes a Bayesian approach where priors must be specified for fixed and random effects, enabling inference via Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling, whereas lmer takes a likelihood approach within the frequentist paradigm. To answer your questions: Yes, you have specified an equivalent model in MCMCglmm to the one in lmer.
Do you think lme4 model is degenerate?
Ben Bolker, the current maintainer of the lme4 package, somewhere pointed out that the occurrence of a warning does not strictly imply that the model is degenerate, however, one of the above messages explicitly says that convergence failed and examining the model gives us good reasons to belief that:
Is there a tutorial for mcmcglmm in R?
MCMCglmm is a package for fitting Bayesian mixed models in R and was written by Jarrod Hadfield. Its use is roughly similar to lme4’s but there are some additional complexities that the user has to deal with. This tutorial aims to get you started with MCMCglmm and shows how the Bayesian analogue of an lme4 model can be implemented with MCMCglmm.
How is lme4 used to analyze mixed effect data?
The lme4 package for fitting (generalized) linear mixed-effects models has proven to be a powerful tool for analyzing data from experimental studies. However, most people encounter situations in which lme4 does not provide answers because the model-fitting process fails to converge.
