There are two issues here: 1. recovery from failed profiling 2. failure of profiling. The first is easier to fix and I'll something addressing it in the next few days.

> I don't know why "threshold=3" gives the error, but "threshold=4" appears to work. I think this is an artifact of execution order. If you go to `threshold=4` in a...

Okay, very weird, I get the error on `threshold=3` but not `threshold=4`. But `threshold=3` should be part of `threshold=4`. 🤔

I think I understand the underlying problem with `threshold=3`: the cubic spline that we fit to the profiled points for interpolation just doesn't work without the extra data that `threshold=4`...

It might be technically breaking to not store the sigma parameter, but we can definitely improve display and handling of it.

If it can wait a few days, I can do it. If you have big plans for it this week, then you should do it. :smile:

@andreasnoack Can you show us `versioninfo()`? @dmbates has actually done a fair number of more involved experiments with using the gradient and it never really paid off. That said, we've...

@andreasnoack it's stale relative to `main`, but I think this was the most recent effort: https://github.com/JuliaStats/MixedModels.jl/tree/forwarddiff
