Hi! I would like to perform an F-Test over more than one variable within a generalized mixed model with Gamma-distribution and log-link function. For this purpose, I use the package mgcv. Similar tests may be done using the function "anova", as for example in the case of a normal distributed response. However, if I do so, the error message "error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) :

This is a question regarding the 'regTermTest' function in the 'survey' package. Imagine Z as a three level factor variable, and code ZB and ZC as the two corresponding dummy variables. X is a continuous variable. In a 'glm' of Y on Z and X, say, how do the two test specifications test.terms = c("ZB:X","ZC:X") # and test.terms = ~ ZB:X + ZC:X in

Thanks for the link to the data. Here's my best guess. If you use the following approach, with the HC0 type of robust standard errors in the

I am attempting to run a glm with a binomial model to analyze proportion data. I have been following Crawley's book closely and am wondering if there is an accepted standard for how much is too much overdispersion? (e.g. change in AIC has an accepted standard of 2). In the example, he fits several models, binomial and quasibinomial and then accepts the quasibinomial. The output for residual

Problems with predict and lines in plotting binomial glm Dear R-helpers I have found quite a lot of tips on how to work with glm through this mailing list, but still have a problem that I can't solve. I have got a data set of which the x-variable is count data and the y-variable is proportional data, and I want to know what the relationship between the variables are. The data was

Hi all, In a simulation context, I'm applying some my function, "myfun" say, to a list of glm obj, "list.glm": >length(list.glm) #number of samples simulated [1] 1000 >class(list.glm[[324]]) #any component of the list [1] "glm" "lm" >length(list.glm[[290]]$y) #sample size [1] 1000 Because length(list.glm) and the sample size are rather large,

Dear all, I am comparing logistic regression models to evaluate if one predictor explains additional variance that is not yet explained by another predictor. As far as I understand Baron and Li describe how to do this, but my question is now: how do I report this in an article? Can anyone recommend a particular article that shows a concrete example of how the results from te following simple

Hello, I use a type III anova ("car" package) to analyse an unbalanced data design. I have two factors and I would have the effect of the interaction. I read that the result could be strongly influenced by the contrasts. I am really not an expert and I am not sure to understand indeed about what it is... Consequently, I failed to properly used the fit.contrast function (gregmisc

This is a question about removing the intercept in a binomial glm() model with categorical predictors. V&R (3rd Ed. Ch7) and Chambers & Hastie (1993) were very helpful but I wasn't sure I got all the answers. In a simplistic example suppose I want to explore how disability (3 levels, profound, severe, and mild) affects the dichotomized outcome. The glm1 model (see below) is

Dear Listers, If I have several glm objects with names glm1, glm2.... and want to apply new data to these objects. Instead of typing "predict(glm1, newdata)..." 100 times, is there way I could do so in a loop? Thank you so much! wensui [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I am encountering an error when I attempt to reference a glm model within a function. The function uses the segmented.glm command (package = segmented). Within the segmented.glm command one specifies an object, in this case a logistic regression model, and specifies a starting threshold term (psi). I believe this is an environment problem, but I do not have a solution. Any assistance

Hi all I'm getting a NaN returned on using dffits, as explained below. To me, there seems no obvious (or non-obvious reason for that matter) reason why a NaN appears. Before I start digging further, can anyone see why dffits might be failing? Is there a problem with the data? Consider: # Load data dep <-

Hi, Suppose I have a vector: > names.select [1] "Idd13" "Idd14" "Idd8.12" "Idd7" automatically generated by some selection criteria. Now, if I have a data frame with many variables, of which the variables in "names.select" are also variables from the data frame. e.g. > all.df[1:5,] Mouse Idd5 Idd6.19.20 Idd13 Idd14 Idd8.12

Dear R-users When running a glm polynomial model with one explanatory variable (example Y~X+X^2), with a poisson or binomial error distribution, the predicted values obtained from using the predict() function and those obtained from using the coefficients from the summary table "as is" in an equation of the form Y=INTERCEPT+ XCoef x X + XCoef x X^2, differ considerably. The former are

Dear R-Experts. I collected different datas about Nitrogen content (mg/ml) in Dung. The dung was eighter fresh (day=0) or had different ages (15,29,47) to observe nutrient changes over time. Now I like to draw a boxplot. boxplot(nmgml~day) abline((nmgml~day) The Problem is, that the boxplot considers the day values as groups and not as time series (neighter when the days are numeric or

Hi i would like to use some graphs or tables to explore the data and make some sensible guesses of what to expect to see in a glm model to assess if toxin concentration and sex have a relationship with the kill rate of rats. But i cant seem to work it out as i have two predictor variables~help?Thanks.:) Here's my data. >

Dear R-List users, Can anyone explain exactly the difference between Weights options in lm glm and gls? I try the following codes, but the results are different. > lm1 Call: lm(formula = y ~ x) Coefficients: (Intercept) x 0.1183 7.3075 > lm2 Call: lm(formula = y ~ x, weights = W) Coefficients: (Intercept) x 0.04193 7.30660 > lm3 Call:

Hello: I'd like to know how and if the GLM convergence problems are addressed in gamlss. For simplicity, let's focus on Normal and Negative Binomial with log link. The convergence issues of the glm() function were alleviated in 2011 when glm2 package was released. Package gamlss was released in 2012, so it might still use the glm-like solution or call glm() directly. Is that the case or

Dear R-Experts, Dear friends of dung. I have a statistical Problem, to which nobody I asked could give me an answer. Maybe you can. I was in the African-Savanna and made a Dung-Monitoring. This means I walked randomly over the field and for every Dung-Event I found I noted following parameters: Species (Waterbuck, Giraffe, Reedbuck); Age-Category (less than a week, more than a week & less

Hi Alexander Wuerstlein Thank for the information. Now I agree that it's better to save the socket in /tmp/ I checked the source code and found that it is hard-coded. /* Allocate a buffer for the socket name, and format the name. */ auth_sock_dir = xstrdup("/tmp/ssh-XXXXXXXXXX"); It would be nice if openssh provides an option to overwrite this default.
