Bug in legend?
This is a bit obscure but caused me some grief... R1.5.1/MS Windows There seems to be a peculiarity in legend associated with the use of expression text. It seems as if expression text is used in (eg) an mtext call then if the call to legend also includes expression text and a subscript then the legend box and line spacing depends on the value of cex used in the previous call to mtext,

MuMIn Problem getting adjusted Confidence intervals
...t for some reason I'm not getting the adjusted confidence interval and uncoditional SE whe I use model.avg(). I took into consideration the steps provided by Grueber et al (2011) Multimodel inference in ecology and evolution: challenges and solutions in JEB. I created a global model to see if malaria prevalence (binomial distribution) is related to any life history traits of 14 different birds species, while controling for Family and genus in a GLMM: global.model.Para<-lmer(cbind(Parahaemoproteus,FailPh)~factor(SS)+factor(NT)+NH+W+IT+factor(MS)+(1|Family/Genus),family=binomial,data=malaria)...

why results from regression tree (rpart) are totally inconsistent with ordinary regression
Hi, In my analysis of impacts of insecticide-treated bednets on malaria, I look at the relationship between malaria incidence and mosquito behaviors. The condensed data set is copied here. Ordinary regression (lm) shows that Incidence was negatively related to Mortality. This makes sense because the latter reflected the strength of killing mosquitoes by insecticide-tre...

glmm for binomial data? (OT)
...xed models. Since that time, has anyone written or found R code to use a glmm to analyze binomial data? I study CWD in white-tailed deer, and I'd like to do a similar analysis as Kleinschmidt et al. (2001, Am. J. Epidemiology 153: 1213-1221) used to assess control for spatial structure in malaria incidence in South Africa. They used SAS PROC MIXED in an iterative procedure with a poisson model, although due to widely varying sample sizes I'd prefer to treat my data as binomial (e.g., CWD pos or neg rather than number of CWD pos deer). Thanks, Damien -- -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-...

random effects using lmer
Hi, I am trying to run a logistic regression to look at the risk of malaria infection in individuals. I want to account for intra household correlation and so want to include a household level random effect. I have been using the lmer command in lme4 package but am getting some strange results that are completely different to those I get using STATA. Can I just check that...
