I've just found that there is a conflict between tools used to build R packages (Rtools) and ADMB due to the need to put Rtools compi...

Hi I implemented the age-structure model in Gove et al (2002) in R, which is a nonlinear statistical model. However running the model in R was very slow. So Dave Fournier suggested to use the AD Model Builder Software package and helped me implement the model there. ADMB was incredibly fast in running the model: While running the model in R took 5-10 minutes, depending on the settings, in ADMB it took 1-2 seconds! I'm reporting this so that people who have performance issues with nonlinear statistical models in R will know that there is a good free...

Hi I'm trying to run an admb model from R by using the system () command. The admb model runs fine when running it from the admb command line or when using emacs. However when I try it with system() then R crashes every time. And I tried using the R command line and RGui and in both it crashes. I also tried it from differe...

Dear Dr Skaug and R users, just discovered glmm.admb in R, and it seems a very useful tool. However, I ran into a problem when I compare two models: m1<-glmm.admb(survival~light*species*damage, random=~1, group="table", data=bm, family="binomial", link="logit") m1.1<-glmm.admb(survival~(light+species+damage)^2,...

R glmmADMB question I am trying to use glmm.admb (the latest alpha version from the R forge website 0.6.4) to model my count data that is overdispersed using a negative binomial family but keep getting the following error message: Error in glmm.admb(data$total_bites_rounded ~ age_class_back, random = ~f...

Dear R-list, I thought that I would let some of you know of a free R package, glmm.ADMB, that can handle mixed models for overdispersed and zero-inflated count data (negativebinomial and poisson). It was built using AD Model Builder software (Otter Research) for random effects modeling and is available (for free and runs in R) at: http://otter-rsch.com/admbre/examples/glmmadmb/glmmA...

Hello all, In a previous posting regarding glmm.admb it is stated that glmm.admb can handle 2 nested random effects. I can only fit a single random term at the moment, and wondered if anyone could provide me with some information on how to specify a model with 2 (nested or cross-classified) random terms? Thanks, Jarrod.

Dear R users, Does anyone know how to get standard errors of the parameter estimates in glmm.admb? Thanks, Istvan

Hi R-users,   I intend to apply a mixed model on a set of longitudinal data, with a negative binomial distributed dependent variable, and after following the discussions on R help list I saw that more experienced people recommended using lmer (from lme4 pack), glmmPQL (from MASS) or glmm.admb (from glmmADMB pack)     My first problem: yesterday this syntax was ok, now I get this weird message (I got it before when I was using my own set of data)   >        data(epil2) >        glmm.admb(y~Base*trt+Age+Visit,random=~Visit,group="subject",data=epil2,family="nbinom&quo...

Dear All, As you know, glmmADMB package use ML method for estimation. Is it possible to use REML estimation method for zero-inflated Poisson distribution? For ML method, poi_ML <- glmm.admb(los ~ psihigh + trt.mod + trt.high + psihigh*trt.mod + psihigh*trt.high + 1, random = ~1, group="site", family="poisson&qu...

7 Jan 09 Hello, I am using R version 2.7.0 in a Windows XP context. I am also using the glmm.admb package (created by Dave Fournier, Hans Skaug, and Anders Nielson) to run mixed-effects negative binomial models. To the best of my knowledge and ability, I have searched and studied the R-help, R-sig-mixed models, and ADMB NBMM for R (through Otter Research Ltd) list servs; R help documen...

Dear list, I am using optim() function to MLE ~55 parameters, but it is very slow to converge (~ 25 min), whereas I can do the same in ~1 sec. using ADMB, and ~10 sec using MS EXCEL Solver. Are there any tricks to speed up? Are there better optimization functions?

Hi All, Following Mike Praeger's posting on this list, I'm happy to pass on that AD Model Builder is now freely available from the ADMB Foundation. http://admb-foundation.org/ Two areas where AD Model builder would be especially useful to R users are multi-parmater smooth optimization as in larg scale maximum likelihood estimation and the analysis of general nonlinear random effects models. Cheers, Dave -- D...

...ly fit (MLE) both the complicated and simpler model in 20 seconds or less (although the more complicated turns out to be overparameterized) Using the random effects module of AD Model Builder we have developed a shared library (Windows dll) that can be called from R via the driver function glmm.admb(). The function can be downloaded from http://otter-rsch.com/admbre/examples/nbmm/nbmm.html The two models of Booth et al are fit by the commands: glmm.admb(y~Base*trt+Age+Visit,random=~1,group="subject",data=epil2) glmm.admb(y~Base*trt+Age+Visit,random=~Visit,group="subject"...

Greetings glmmADMB function users, I am trying to run a series of models using the glmmADMB function with several different distribution families (e.g., poisson, negbinom). I am using a Optiplex 790 PC with Windows 7, 16.0 GB of RAM and a 64-bit operating system. I am running R version 2.15.0 and started out using...

Dear R-users, Half a year ago we put out the R package "glmmADMB" for fitting overdispersed count data. http://otter-rsch.com/admbre/examples/glmmadmb/glmmADMB.html Several people who used this package have requested additional features. We now have a new version ready. The major new feature is that glmmADMB allows Bernoulli responses with logistic and pr...

Dear List, Some of you have been following the discussion of the GPL and its inclusion in the glmmADMB package we created for R users. I would like to provide a bit of background and include an email we received from Prof. Ripley so that everyone can be aware of how some might use the GPL to try to force access to proprietary software. I think this is interesting because many have voiced the opini...

We announce the availability of three related software libraries: C2R, ADMB2R, and For2R (together, X2R). Each contains output routines to simplify transfer of complicated data structures from models written in a compiled language to R. The user's data can be written as a structured ASCII file which, when read by R (note 1) with a single dget() function call, will...
