Hi,

I am working on a RNA-Seq data set from drosophila melanogaster time course analysis. I am trying to computer a regression fit for each of the genes.

When computing the p-values I am getting multiple warnings like this:

There were 50 or more warnings (use warnings() to see the first 50)
> warnings()
Warning messages:
1: glm.fit: algorithm did not converge
2: glm.fit: algorithm did not converge

I was wondering what causes this warning and is it essential to change some parameters for better results.

Thanks
Assa
