MVA EM estimation does not converge

Troubleshooting


Problem

I'm running the IBM SPSS Statistics MVA procedure with EM estimation with a large number of variables. The estimation is not converging, even with the number of iterations increased substantially. Is there a limit on the number of variables I can use with EM estimation? Are there other options to obtain convergence aside from increasing the number of iterations?
