Hi all, I am having issues comparing models with lmer. As an example, when I run the code below the model summaries (AIC, BIC, loglik) differ between the summary() and anova() commands. Can anyone clear up what's wrong? Thank you! Darren Ward library(lme4) data(sleepstudy) fm1<-lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (1|Subject), sleepstudy) summary(fm1) fm2<-lmer(Reaction ~ Days +

Full_Name: Dale Barr Version: 2.5.1 (patched) OS: Ubuntu linux x86_64 Submission from: (NULL) (138.23.70.108) When RMySQL is loaded in before lme4, the summary() function for lmer objects in the lme4 packages produces the following error: Error in printMer(object) : no slot of name "status" for this object of class "table" When RMySQL is loaded AFTER lme4, however, no such

I'm trying to understand how to plot individual growth curve trajectories, with the overall mean trajectory superimposed (preferably in a slightly thicker line, maybe in black) over the individual trajectories. Using the sleepstudy data in lme4, here is the code I have so far: library(lme4) library(lattice) xyplot(Reaction ~ Days, data = sleepstudy, group = Subject, type = 'l')

Dear all, I found a problem with 'lme4'. Basically, once you load the package 'aod' (Analysis of Overdispersed Data), the functions 'lmer' and 'glmer' don't work anymore: library(lme4) (fm1 <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (Days|Subject), sleepstudy)) (gm1 <- glmer(cbind(incidence, size - incidence) ~ period + (1 | herd), family = binomial, data

Hi, For some reason do.call on anova fails if the models are named lmer objects. Consider the following example: library(lme4) models <- list( lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (1| Subject), sleepstudy), lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (Days | Subject), sleepstudy)) # # models is an unnamed list, do.call works (although with warning): do.call(anova, models) # # after labeling the models, do.call gives an

I encounter such problem with lmer under FreeBSD, but not under Windows. Anyone knows why?

Hello, R community, I have been using the lmer and mcmcsamp functions in R with some difficulty. I do not believe this is my code or data, however, because my attempts to use the sample code and 'sleepstudy' data provided with the lme4 packaged (and used on several R-Wiki pages) do not return the same results as those indicated in the help pages. For instance: > sessionInfo() R

Dear lmer-ers, My thanks for all of you who are sharing your trials and tribulations publicly. I was hoping to elicit some feedback on my thoughts on denominator degrees of freedom for F ratios in mixed models. These thoughts and practices result from my reading of previous postings by Doug Bates and others. - I start by assuming that the appropriate denominator degrees lies between n

Buenos días; Estoy intentando aprender algo de sobre los modelos lineales mixtos. Estoy siguiendo el libro "Multilevlel analysis: techniques and applications" de Joop Hox. Estoy intentado reproducir las tablas y gráficos que trae el libro con el paquete lmer. En este libro se indica que en la comprobación de los supuestos del modelo hay que estudiar los gráficos de residuales tanto

I have a list object, in which I have stored n lme4-models. For example: library(lme4); myModels <- list(); myModels[1] <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (Days|Subject), sleepstudy) myModels[2] <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (1|Subject) + (0+Days|Subject), sleepstudy) Now I would like to perform an anova over all models in the list. However, the anova function requires that every model is inserted

Hi, again, I have to modify my query since my first (too simple) example doesn't reflect my actual problem. Second try: When asking Effect() inside a function to compute an effect of an lmer-fit which uses a data frame local to the body of the function, as in the following example (simplifying my actual application), I get the "Error in is.data.frame(data) : object 'X' not

Hello EVERYONE, I need an URGENT help from you please! How can I see the "estfun" (empirical estimating function) and "df" (degree of freedom) from the following mixed-model please? (fm1 <- lmer2(Reaction ~ Days + (Days|Subject), sleepstudy)) Many thanks in advance for your kind help. Sattar

Hi, Thanks for your response, it nearly worked! But it only wrote one coloumn of data and not the three columns I need. Using fixef(m1) doesnt give the same results as coef(m1) when you are using more than one random effect. I need the coefficients for each individual so I use coef(m1) to get this which results in an object of class lmer.coef, 3 columns by 700 rows. as.data.frame() wont work on

Dear Gerrit, This issue is discussed in a vignette in the car package (both for functions in the car and effects packages): vignette("embedding", package="car") . The solution suggested there is the essentially the one that you used.

consider p as random effect with 5 levels, what is difference between these two models? > p5.random.p <- lmer(Y ~p+(1|p),data=p5,family=binomial,control=list(usePQL=FALSE,msV=1)) > p5.random.p1 <- lmer(Y ~1+(1|p),data=p5,family=binomial,control=list(usePQL=FALSE,msV=1)) thanks, Aimin Yan

I'm a student currently working with the *sleepstudy* dataset in matrix.pkg. It deals with the reaction times of sleep deprived students over a period of days. I am trying to model reaction times in order to describe the variation between students by days they havent slept. This is what I'm running in R, but unfortunately I'm missing something: > logmod11 <-

Dear all, I am running a mixed model using lmer. In order to obtain CI of individual coefficients I use mcmcsamp. However, I need advice which values that are most appropriate to present in result section of a paper. I have not used mixed models and lmer so much before so my question is probably very naive. However, to avoid to much problems with journal editors and referees addicted to

If you are indeed using lme and not lmer then the needed function is VarCorr(). However, 2 recommendations. First, this is a busy list and better emails subject headers get better attention. Second, I would recommend using lmer as it is much faster. However, VarCorr seems to be incompatible with lmer and I do not know of another function to work with lmer. Hence, a better email subject header
