That's odd - I get convergence with Stata 11 MP.
. webuse melanoma, clear
(Skin cancer (melanoma) data)
. xtmepoisson deaths uv c.uv#c.uv, exposure(expected) || nation:|| region:
Refining starting values:
Iteration 0: log likelihood = -1169.4088 (not concave)
Iteration 1: log likelihood = -1156.8957 (not concave)
Iteration 2: log likelihood = -1101.9749
Performing gradient-based optimization:
Iteration 0: log likelihood = -1101.9749
Iteration 1: log likelihood = -1097.2043
Iteration 2: log likelihood = -1089.5644
Iteration 3: log likelihood = -1089.4115
Iteration 4: log likelihood = -1089.411
Iteration 5: log likelihood = -1089.411
