Hi R users, I have a dataset with multiple variables and i'm trying to weigh average depths for fish species per year by their abundance (CPUE. I have tried the weighted.mean function but as i have two columns for the x value the lenghts differ with the w (CPUE). How do I solve this problem? So far I have tried this: data<-by(allspecies, list(allspecies$Depth, allspecies$Year),

1. I'm attempting to test for Random Effects. I've grouped the data on subject (grid) but want to use lme to build the model without subject as a RE then add it and do anova between the 2 models. This is the result I get and it appears it's adding Random Effects. tmp.dat4 <- groupedData(Trials ~ 1 | grid, data = tmp.dat4) mod2a <- lme(Trials ~ factor(group_id) + reversal,

Hello list, I'm trying to figure out how exactly the specification of nested random effects works in the lmer function of lme4. To give a concrete example, consider the rat-liver dataset from the R book (rats.txt from: http://www.bio.ic.ac.uk/research/mjcraw/therbook/data/ ). Crawley suggests to analyze this data in the following way: library(lme4) attach(rats) Treatment <-

Dear All, I'm not sure of the interpretation of interactions with contrasts. Can anyone help? I do an ANCOVA, dryweight is covariate, block and treatment are factors, c4 the response variable. model<-aov(log(c4+1)~dryweight+treatment+block+treatment:block) summary(model); Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value Pr(>F) dryweight 1 3.947 3.947 6.6268 0.01076 *

Hi all! I've got this error while running example(Glm) library("rms") > example(Glm) Glm> ## Dobson (1990) Page 93: Randomized Controlled Trial : Glm> counts <- c(18,17,15,20,10,20,25,13,12) Glm> outcome <- gl(3,1,9) Glm> treatment <- gl(3,3) Glm> f <- glm(counts ~ outcome + treatment, family=poisson()) Glm> f Call: glm(formula = counts ~

Ronaldo, Further to my previous posting on your Glycogen nested aov model. Having read Douglas Bates' response and Reflected on his lmer analysis output of your aov nested model example as given.The Glycogen treatment has to be a Fixed Effect.If a 'treatment' isn't a Fixed Effect what is ? If Douglas Bates' lmer model is modified to treat Glycogen Treatment as a purely

Hello R users I like to extract z values for x1 and x2. I know how to extract coefficents using model$coef but I don't know how to extract z values for each of independent variable. I looked around using names(model) but I couldn't find how to extract z values. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all I am preparing a document using Sweave; a really useful tool. But I am having a problem. Consider this toy example Sweave file: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} <<echo=TRUE,results=verbatim>>= options(width=40) # Set width to 40 characters hide <- capture.output(example(glm)) # Create an example of the problem, but hide the output summary(glm.D93) #

Hi group, I'm trying to do a Tukey test to compare the means of a factor ("treatment") with three levels in an lme model that also contains the factors "site" and "time": model = response ~ treatment * (site + time) When I enter this model in csimtest, it takes all but the main factor "treatment" as covariables, not as factors (see below). Is it

Hello, I am performing cor() of some of my data. For example, I'll do 3 corr() (many variables) operations, one for each of the three treatments. I then do the following: i <-lower.tri(treatment1.cor) cor(cbind(one = treatment1.corr[i], two = treatment2.corr[i], three = treatment3.corr[i])) Does this operation above tell me how correlated each of the three treatments is? Because this

This is a basics beginner question. I attempted fitting a a Poisson GLM to data that is non-integer ( I believe Poisson is suitable in this case, because it is modelling counts of infections, but the data collected are all non-negative numbers with 2 decimal places). My question is, since R doesn't return an error with this glm fitting, is it important that the data is non-integer. How does

Hi, I have a experiment with block, plots, sub-plots, and sub-sub-plots with repeated measures and 3 factors (factorial design) when we have been observed diameter (mm), high (cm) and leaves number (count). However, we don't have one treatment in one factor, so, my design is unbalanced. On a previous message here, a friend tell me that "It appears to me that your design is a split-split

Following p.206 of "Statistical Models in S", I wish to change the code for summary.glm() so that it estimates the dispersion for binomial & poisson models when the parameter dispersion is set to zero. The following changes [insertion of ||dispersion==0 at one point; and !is.null(dispersion) at another] will do the trick: "summary.glm" <- function(object, dispersion =

Dear list members, I try to simulate an incomplete block design in which every participants receives 3 out of 4 possible treatment. The outcome in binary. Assigning a binary outcome to the BIB or PBIB dataset of the package SASmixed gives the appropriate output. With the code below, fixed treatment estimates are not given for each of the 4 possible treatments, instead a kind of summary

Dear Help List, Thanks in advance for reading...I hope my questions are not too ignorant. I have an experiment looking at evolution of wing size [centroid] in fruitflies and the effect of 6 different experimental treatments [treatment]. I have five replicate populations [replic] in each treatment and have reared the flies in two different temperatures [cond] to assay the wing size, making

Hi, We released individual birds into a room with 2 trees. We counted the number of visits to each of the 2 tree. One of the trees is always a control tree and the other tree is either treatment 1, treatment 2 or treatment3 or treatment 4.

Hi, I have a simple dataset with repeated measures. one factor is treatment with 3 levels (treatment1, treatment2 and control), the other factor is time (15 time points). Each treatment group has 10 subjects with each followed up at each time points, the response variable is numeric, serum protein amount. So the between subject factor is treatment, and the within subject factor is time. I ran a

I am attempting to run a glm with a binomial model to analyze proportion data. I have been following Crawley's book closely and am wondering if there is an accepted standard for how much is too much overdispersion? (e.g. change in AIC has an accepted standard of 2). In the example, he fits several models, binomial and quasibinomial and then accepts the quasibinomial. The output for residual

Hello I was trying to estimate the weibull model using nls after putting OLS values as the initial inputs to NLS. I tried multiple times but still i m getting the same error of Error in nlsModel(formula, mf, start, wts) : singular gradient matrix at initial parameter estimates. The Program is as below > vel <- c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14) > df <- data.frame(conc, vel) >

How can ordinary polynomial coefficients be calculated from an orthogonal polynomial fit? I'm trying to do something like find a,b,c,d from lm(billions ~ a+b*decade+c*decade^2+d*decade^3) but that gives: "Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : Object "a" not found" > decade <- c(1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990) > billions <- c(3.5, 5, 7.5, 13, 40) > #
