Trying to find a quick/slick/easily interpretable way to collapse a data set. Suppose I have a data set that looks like this: h <- structure(list(INDEX = structure(1:6, .Label = c("1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6"), class = "factor"), TICKS = c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3 ), BROOD = structure(c(1L, 1L, 2L, 3L, 3L, 3L), .Label =

Hi R experts, I am interested on the effects of two dietry compunds on the growth of chicks. Rather than extracting linear growth functions for each chick and using these in an analysis I thought using ReML might provide a neater and better way of doing this. (I have read the pdf vignette("MlmSoftRev") and "Fitting linear mixed models in R" by Douglas Bates but I am not

Hi I'm encountering an error/warning when doing multiple comparisons with the package multcomp on a coxme model. My data: I'm looking at the removal of brood from the nest according to three treatments I applied on the brood. The brood and the workers caring about the brood in the nest, belonged to different colonies. Factor: treatment (3 levels: tx,uv,meta) Random effect 1: origin of

Hello, everyone. I'm hoping to prevent myself from doing a lot of pointing and clicking in Excel. I have a dataframe of bird nest check observations, in which I know the date of the first check, the date of the second check (both currently in Julian date format), the status of the nest at the second check (alive or failed), and the date that the nest hatched (i.e. changed from Incubation

...ng a number of papers and other resources including R help, but I am still a little confused on how to write my model (I thought I had it). I have asked a number of questions on different forums; most of which have been resolved. My main concern right now is whether my model is correct. I studied broods of precocial chicks and watched each chick every other day for five minutes if possible. As chicks on the same day are completely non-independent the mean was found for each brood for each day. Variables that were recorded were the behaviours during that time and the habitats used. There were seve...

Hello, I have problems running Star Craft - Brood War System: arch linux 64 bit ati radeon x1300 pro open source driver (xf86-video-ati) KDE 4.8.2 wine-1.5.1 Problem: The game starts but it's extremely slow. It's unplayable. It is slow even in the menus (on the animated menus it is slower). I've tried the changing the registry keys like DirectDrawRenderer and it doesn't help.

Hello all, If someone could take a little time to help me then I would be very grateful. I studied piping plovers last summer. I watched each chick within a brood for 5 minutes and recorded behaviour, habitat use and foraging rate. There were two Sites, the first with 4 broods and the second with 3 broods. http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4511178/Table_PP_Maslo_et_al.png As the data within a brood is non-independent and the fact that there were so few, then conventional statistical tests were of little use. I therefore spent a couple of months looking at mixed-model...

I'm having a little trouble with trying to install newer versions of Starcraft (updates or Brood War) on a win-free Wine installation. I can run the installer off the original Starcraft CD, and it puts all of the files in the right place, adds a couple registry entries, and then chokes on creating the entries in the Start Menu. Still, I can kill the process at that point, and I have a usable

...her Is this the wrong way to specify it or what is happening here? I am also wondering if only including mother as a random factor, do R understand that its nested? That is, when there are e.g. 60 different nests and 40 mothers. Do R then take into account that each mother can have multiple broods? In that way the nesting seems redundant..? Thanks for all help!

Hi: I have the following dataset in R( thanks Gabor for your help) but now the problem is that all the dashes are converted to questions marks ("?") I?am trying to get the dashes back using: mydf <- data.frame(lapply(mydf,function(x) replace(mydf,"?"(x),"-"))) but isn't working. I also tried: mydf <- replace(mydf,mydf=="?","-)")

Hi: I?need?help with a dataframe(see?pic attached). is a mix of dates and text. I want to create a table either?using latex function from hmisc or xtable. I already know how to do this but the problem is getting the dataframe into R. I don't have a reproducible example?but I am hoping that the pic attachment will make it to you.?If someone is interested in helping with this task I could send

I've got a problem to make run Starcraft in local area network . I can see in the ipx screen the name of the network game (sometimes) and when i click it returns me an error I try to play with another computer which runs on win98 Please asnwer me . I read about ipx_route but i don't know how ti use it

Hello, I hope that you can bare with me. I am new to models, but I think I have a pretty godd understanding of how to run them now, including how to use AICc and Anova. The issue is that I have many factors that I wish to compare so doing each one at a time would take forever. I came across the MuMIn package and I was so excited, however I am getting an error message and i don't know why.

Dear all, This question is basic but I am stumped. After running the below, I receive the message: "non-integer #successes in a binomial glm!" model1 <- glmmML(y~Brood.Size*Density+Date.Placed+Species+Placed.Emerging+Year+rate.of.parperplot, data = data, cluster= data$Patch, family=binomial(link="logit")) My response variable is sex ratio, and I have learned quickly not

...;d like to model individual growth curves (aim is to study asymptotes and inflection points) with nlme according to Pinheiro & Bates 2000: first using nlsList to generate individual curves and then nlme to study the parameters and fixed effects. The data is structured to two levels. I have broods and individuals within the broods. Problems arise if I specify the groupedData object to have two levels. Running of the nlme gives me an error message "can't run the model with multiple levels", or something alike.. Is there a way around this or should I start looking fo another...

Dear All I would need to perform a MANOVA with both fixed (group, sex, group*sex) and random (brood) effects. I wonder if this is at all possible and if R does that. At the moment, I only know that I can run a classic MANOVA with R.

Hi all, I am trying to create images in R suitable for journal publication. I'd like to make an image that is 3.6" wide and 5.08" length, and 1200 dpi. When I create a tiff file that is 800 dpi and 4x4", it works (although doesn't look good). But when I create a tiff that is the size and dpi I want, it doesn't work. I get the following error: Error in tiff(filename =

Dear all: Does anybody know about label conflicts between xtable and Hmisc? I found a couple of e-mails similar to this problem but is not clear to me how to get around the label problem. The first table(longtable below) is generated with the latex function from Hmisc but for some reason when I try to hyperlink to it,it takes me to the top of the document. The second table created with the xtable
