Hi, there, I am having trouble using 'lrm' function in package 'Design'. Basically, the ' . ' after ' ~ ' wouldn't work. Here are some sample codes: > temp <- data.frame(a=c(rep(0,3),rep(1,3)),b=rnorm(6),c=c('a','b','c','a','b','c')) > lrm(a~.,data=temp) Error in terms.formula(formula, specials =

Hi, all, I am wondering if it is possible to set parameters of 'rpart' and 'tree' such that they will produce the exact same tree? Thanks.

Hi, List, I am using function 'cph' in package 'Design'. I have run into this error message but could not find documentation after looking for a long time. Could someone help me out? What kind of problem it is in my data set and how to fix it? Thanks a lot! Auston Error in fitter(X, Y, strata = Strata, offset = offset, weights = weights, :NA/NaN/Inf in foreign function

Hi, List, I used the following codes to generate ps plots but foo.ps contains nothing. Would someone please point out what is wrong with my codes? Thanks a million! postscript('foo.ps') par(mfrow=c(2,1)) par(mfg=c(1,1)) hist(rnorm(100),col='blue') par(mfrow=c(2,2)) par(mfg=c(2,1)) hist(rnorm(50),col='blue') par(mfg=c(2,2)) hist(rnorm(60),col='blue') dev.off()

I have a loop that I would like to use to extract the "stddev" for each itteration so I can average the "stddev" for all the runs. It would be helpful to know how to extract the "stddev" for each run from the VarCorr. Thanks MCruns<-1000 sighatlvec<-rep(NA,MCruns) sighatbvec<-rep(NA,MCruns) sighatevec<-rep(NA,MCruns) for(mc in 1:MCruns) {

Hi all, I am currently doing a consistency analysis using an lmer model and trying to use parametric bootstrapping for the confidence intervals. My model is like this: model<-lmer(y~A+B+(1|C/D)+(1|E),binomial) where E is the individual level for consistency analysis, A-D are other fixed and random effects that I have to control for. Following Nakagawa and Scheilzeth I can work out the

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

Dear all, Here is the question: For example, using the "petrol" data offered with R. pet3.lme<-lme(Y~SG+VP+V10+EP,random=~1|No,data=petrol) pet3.lme$sigma gives the residual StdDev. But I can't figure out how to extract the "(intercept) StdDev", although it is in the print out if I do "summary(pet3.lme)". In

Dear All, I would like to ask you to help me with my memeory. I remember using some function that would list all the possible methods I could apply to an object. Say, if I had an object of class=lme, it would tell me that that I could do stuff like qqnorm(myobjct), or VarCorr(myobject). In general, a very complete list. I though this list of all possible methods would pop out by typing

Hi All, I would like to ask a question on fixed and random effecti in lme. I am fiddlying around Mick Crawley dataset "rats" : http://www.bio.ic.ac.uk/research/mjcraw/statcomp/data/ The advantage is that most work is already done in Crawley's book (page 361 onwards) so I can check what I am doing. I am tryg to reproduce the nested analysis on page 368:

Dear R-users Coming from a proc mixed (SAS) background I am trying to get into the use of (n)lme. In this connection, I have some (presumably stupid) questions which I am sure someone out there can answer: 1) With proc mixed it is easy to get a hold on the estimated variance parameters as they can be put out into a SAS data set. How do I do the same with lme-objects? For example, I can see the

Dear R-help list members I gathered longitudinal data on fish behaviour which I try to analyse using a multi level model for change. Mostly, I am following Singer & Willett (2003), who provide also the S/R code for their examples in the book (e.g. http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/Splus/examples/alda/ch4.htm). Of course I am interested in change over time, but I am also very much interested in

For a Monte Carlo study I need to extract from an lme model the estimated standard deviation of a random effect and store it in a vector. If I do a print() or summary() on the model, the number I need is displayed in the Console [it's the 0.1590195 in the output below] >print(fit) >Linear mixed-effects model fit by maximum likelihood > Data: datag2 > Log-likelihood:

Dear R user, I am trying to reproduce the results in Montgomery D.C (2001, chap 13, example 13-1). Briefly, there are three suppliers, four batches nested within suppliers and three determinations of purity (response variable) on each batch. It is a two stage nested design, where suppliers are fixed and batches are random. y_ijk=mu+tau_i+beta_j(nested in tau_i)+epsilon_ijk Here are the

Dear R-gurus, I have an interpretation problem regarding lme models. I am currently working on dog locomotion, particularly on some variation factors. I try to figure out which limb out of 2 generated more dispersed data. I record a value called Peak, around 20 times for each limb with a record. I repeat the records during a single day, and on several days. I tried to build two models, one

Hi, all, I have a question about random effects model. I am dealing with a three-factor experiment dataset. The response variable y is modeled against three factors: Samples, Operators, and Runs. The experimental design is as follow: 4 samples were randomly chosen from a large pool of test samples. Each of the 4 samples was analyzed by 4 operators, randomly selected from a group of

LS, I'm estimating multilevel regression models, using the lme-function from the nlme-package. Let's say that I estimated a model and stored it inside the object named 'model'. The summary of that model is shown below: Using summary(model)$tTable , I receive the following output: > summary(model)$tTable Value Std.Error DF t-value

Sorry if this is obvious, but my S skills aren't great and I haven't been able to find it documented anywhere. I want to write a new function for use with lme objects; the function will simply calculate an ICC (aka "rho") for each level of a mixed-effects model. What I need for this is pretty simple: (c(var1..varn, residual)) / sum(c(var1..varn, residual)) where var1..varn

I would appreciate some thoughts on using the bootstrap functions in the library "bootstrap" to estimate confidence intervals of ICC values calculated in lme. In lme, the ICC is calculated as tau/(tau+sigma-squared). So, for instance the ICC in the following example is 0.116: > tmod<-lme(CINISMO~1,random=~1|IDGRUP,data=TDAT) > VarCorr(tmod) IDGRUP = pdLogChol(1)

Dear R experts, I want to extract standard error from the output of lme, but I found fix.effects() does not include SE of the coefficients. Many thanks in advance.
