Facets terminates its estimation phase at the end of the current iteration when
4) convergence is reached in estimation
5) the maximum number of iterations have been performed
6) you press Ctrl+F to stop the iteration process or press the ?? button.
Full results will be produced. Their value depends on how finely converged the estimates are. Check that the final set of values in the iteration table are all small. You may alter the convergence= criteria in order to obtain a faster, rougher, convergence or a more accurate, slower, convergence to the iterative estimation procedure.
