R help - Apr 2010 - pvals.fnc() with language R does not work with R 2.10.1

Hi Everyone,

I am using R 2.10.1.  lmer function works properly, however pvals.fnc 
()  does not despite the fact that I uploaded:

- library(lme4)
- library(coda)
- library(languageR)

This is the error message I get

  pvals.fnc(lexdec3.lmerE2, nsim=10000)$fixed

Error in pvals.fnc(lexdec3.lmerE2, nsim = 10000) :
   MCMC sampling is not yet implemented in lme4_0.999375
   for models with random correlation parameters

How can I resolve the problem?

Thanks,
?zge

Hi,

I have text (see below) that is aligned nicely when printed in the
command window in R but when plotted using text function, it does not
show alignment unless I use the family="mono" in the call to the text
function. Is there a way to specify a different font while maintaining
the alignment?

Thanks for any hints

  Neither of these packages is with base R (lme4 and languageR are
the source of your problems, not coda). The standard advice in
this case is to "contact the package maintainer" -- you can
find this info from help(package=languageR) (or the equivalent
for lme4) -- the maintainers are R Baayen and D Bates respectively.

  However, before you do that -- mcmcsamp has not worked in
lme4 for quite a while.  You could try to retrieve sufficiently
old versions of lme4 (and probably Matrix as well, since the
two are interconnected) to find a version where mcmcsamp works
(but this could be dangerous since I believe Bates abandoned
mcmcsamp after finding several cases where it got stuck and
deciding that he should remove it until he found a way to
make it more robust).

  My suggestion would be to try posting this to r-sig-mixed-models
to see if anyone has a suggestion, and possibly contacting Baayen.
I suspect Bates will just tell you what I stated above.  You could
also look at http://glmm.wikidot.com/faq , but again it doesn't
say much more than I have already stated.

Hi,

One option with Grid graphics,

m <-
matrix(c( 1667,    3,    459,
         2001, 45,   34,
         1996,   2,    5235),
       dimnames=list(c("Eric & Alan", "Alan","John
& David")),
        ncol=3, byrow=T)

## install.packages("gridExtra",
repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
library(gridExtra)

grid.table(m,
theme=theme.white(row.just="left",core.just="left"))

HTH,

baptiste
