Hi, I am hoping some one can help with this. I am using nlme to fit a random coefficients model. It ran for hours before returning Error: Singularity in backsolve at level 0, block 1 The model is > plavix.nlme<-nlme(PLX_NRX~loglike(PLX_NRX,PD4_42D,GAT_34D,VIS_42D,MSL_42D,SPE_ROL,XM2_DUM,THX_DUM,b0,b1,b2,b3,b4,b5,b6,b7,alpha), + data=data, + fixed=list(b0 + b1+b2+b3+b4+b5+b6+b7+alpha~1), + random=b0+b1+b2+b3+b4+b5+b6+b7~1|menum, + + start=c(b0=0,b1=0,b2=0,b3=0,b4=0,b5=0,b6=0,b7=0,alpha=5) + ) Can anyone tell me what...

Hello all, I would like to fit a mixed effects model, but my response is of the negative binomial (or overdispersed poisson) family. The only (?) package that looks like it can do this is glmm.ADMB (but it cannot run on Mac OS X - please correct me if I am wrong!) [1] I think that glmmML {glmmML}, lmer {Matrix}, and glmmPQL {MASS} do not provide this "family" (i.e. nbinom, or

Hey, Does anyone know if there is a way to get back from goodfit what it estimated the parameters to be? I used the code fit<-goodfit(round(data$PLX_NRX),type="nbinomial" and got a pretty good fit. I could not however duplicate this good fit with any parameter estimates that I had. Any ideas??? Thanks, Elizabeth Lawson --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
