linear models
Dear R users, I have a couple of linear model related questions. 1) How do I produce a fixed effect linear model using lme? I saw somewhere (this may be Splus documentation since I use Splus and R interchangeably) that using lme(...,random= ~ -1 | groups,...) works, but it gives the same as lme(...,random= ~ 1 | groups,...), ie. fits a random effect intercept term. The reason why I want to do

Variance-covariance matrix for beta hat and b hat from lme
Dear all, Given a LME model (following the notation of Pinheiro and Bates 2000) y_i = X_i*beta + Z_i*b_i + e_i, is it possible to extract the variance-covariance matrix for the estimated beta_i hat and b_i hat from the lme fitted object? The reason for needing this is because I want to have interval prediction on the predicted values (at level = 0:1). The "predict.lme" seems to

effects in ANCOVA
Dear R users, I am trying to fit the following ANCOVA model in R2.4.0 Y_ij=mu+alpha_i+beta*(X_ij-X..)+epsilon_ij Particularly I am interested in obtaining estimates for mu, and the effects alpha_i I have this data (from the book Applied Linear Statistical Models by Neter et al (1996), page 1020) y<-c(38,43,24,39,38,32,36,38,31,45,27,21,33,34,28)

metafor package: effect sizes are not fully independent
In a classical meta analysis model y_i = X_i * beta_i + e_i, data {y_i} are assumed to be independent effect sizes. However, I'm encountering the following two scenarios: (1) Each source has multiple effect sizes, thus {y_i} are not fully independent with each other. (2) Each source has multiple effect sizes, each of the effect size from a source can be categorized as one of a factor levels

This is really a statistical issue. What do you think the Intercept term represents? See ?contrasts.

Multilevel modeling with count variables
I am using a multilevel modeling approach to model change in a person's symptom score over time (i.e., longitudinal individual growth models). I have been using the lme function in the multilevel package for the analyses, but my problem is that my outcome (symptoms) and one of my predictors (events) are count data, and are non-normal. Do you have any suggestions for how to deal with them?

Book recommendations: Multilevel & longitudinal analysis
Hi, does anyone out there have a recommendation for multilevel / random effects and longitudinal analysis? My dream book would be something that's both accessible to a non-statistician but rigorous (because I seem to be slowly turning into a statistician) and ideally would use R. Peter

multilevel models and sample size
It is not a pure R question,but I hope some one can give me advices. I want to use analysis my data with the multilevel model.The data has 2 levels---- the second level has 52 units and each second level unit has 19-23 units.I think the sample size is quite small,but just now I can't make the sample size much bigger.So I want to ask if I use the multilevel model to analysis the data set,will

Book: Multilevel Modeling in R ETA?
Hi R folks (Dr. Bates in particular), In August 2005, Dr. Bates mentioned that the documentation for lme4 "will be in the form of a book with the working title 'Multilevel Modeling in R'" and I'm just wondering if there is an estimated date of publication or if it's still a long way off. The Rnews article does a great job of introducing the package, but I'm

Multilevel package: Obtaining significance for waba within-group correlation?
Hello everyone, I am employing the waba method from the multilevel package for obtaining a within-group correlation (Description: http://bg9.imslab.co.jp/Rhelp/R-2.4.0/src/library/multilevel/man/waba.html). Does anybody know a way or a calculation for obtaining a significance value for that correlation? And another question: Does anybody know whether it is possible to save individual

multilevel factor model in lmer
Hello -- I am curious if lmer can be used to fit a multilevel factor model such as a two-parameter item response model. The one parameter model is straightforward. A two-factor model requires a set of factor loadings multiplying a single random effect. For example, a logit model for the ith subject responding correctly to the jth item (j=1,..,J) is logit[p(ij)] = a1*item1(i) + ... + aJ *

sampling weights for multilevel models
Dear all, I am struggling with a problem which I have been reading on the forums about and it did not seem to me that there is a precise answer to my question. However, I still hope there is one. I am working with http://timss.bc.edu/ PIRLS data and trying to conduct multilevel analysis. There are different weights for each level of analysis in the PIRLS dataset (e.g. there is a school

Multilevel Analyses in R
I am new to R and would like to get some practice analyzing multilevel data. I wonder if anyone can point me to a sample data set and command lines that I might replicate for a sample session. I would then compare my output with HLM output. Any help is appreciated. ------ Harold C. Doran Director of Research and Evaluation New American Schools 675 N.

R2 in multilevel modelling
Goodmorning everybody, i'm an italian statistician and i'm using R for research. Could someone tell me some indices to see the goodness of fit in multilevel modelling? I'm using the lmer function, and I want to know if my model fit well my data. I actually want to justify the use of multilevel model instead the classical one. Hope someone can help me. Thank you. Greetings

notation question
Dear list, I am currently writing up some of my R models in a more formal sense for a paper, and I am having trouble with the notation. Although this isn't really an 'R' question, it should help me to understand a bit better what I am actually doing when fitting my models! Using the analysis of co-variance example from MASS (fourth edition, p 142), what is the correct notation for the

nlme question
I am using the package nlme to fit a simple random effects (variance components model) with 3 parameters: overall mean (fixed effect), between subject variance (random) and within subject variance (random). I have 16 subjects with 1-4 obs per subject. I need a 3x3 variance-covariance matrix that includes all 3 parameters in order to compute the variance of a specific linear

NLME - multilevel model using binary outcome - logistic regression
Hi! I'm pretty raw when working with the R models (linear or not). I'm wondering has anybody worked with the NLME library and dichotomous outcomes. I have a binary outcome variable that I woul like to model in a nested (multilevel) model. I started to fit a logistic model to a NLS function, but could not suceed. I know there are better ways to do it in R with either the LRM or GLM wih

Multilevel Modeling using glmmPQL
Hi, I'm trying to perform a power simulation for a simple multilevel model, using the function glmmPQL in R version 2.8.1. I want to extract the p-value for the fixed-effects portion of the regression, but I'm having trouble doing that. I can extract the coefficients (summary(fit)$coeff), and the covariance matrix (summary(fit)$varFix), but I can't grab the p-value (or the
