Mixed GLMM Model - Issues with using weights argument

General
1

I am trying to implement a mixed and weighted logistic regression model using the glmer function from the package 'lme4'. This is how my code looks

mixed <- glmer(Category ~ Parameter + (1|StudyNo), family=binomial(logit), dataforreg,weights = dataforreg$Weight)

This is the error i receive when i execute the above line of code, I understand the warning message, but i don't understand the source of the error above.

Error in pwrssUpdate(pp, resp, tol = tolPwrss, GQmat = GQmat, compDev = compDev, :
(maxstephalfit) PIRLS step-halvings failed to reduce deviance in pwrssUpdate
In addition: Warning message:
In eval(family$initialize, rho) : non-integer #successes in a binomial glm!

However, when i remove the weights, the model works fine.
can anyone please guide me on solving the error?

Thanks in advance

Could you please turn this into a self-contained reprex (short for reproducible example)? It would be helpful to see this both with and without the weights.

It will help us help you if we can be sure we're all working with/looking at the same stuff.

Right now the best way to install reprex is:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("tidyverse/reprex")

If you've never heard of a reprex before, you might want to start by reading the tidyverse.org help page. The reprex dos and don'ts are also useful.

What to do if you run into clipboard problems

If you run into problems with access to your clipboard, you can specify an outfile for the reprex, and then copy and paste the contents into the forum.

reprex::reprex(input = "fruits_stringdist.R", outfile = "fruits_stringdist.md")

For pointers specific to the community site, check out the reprex FAQ, linked to below.
