Hi all, I am a bit mystified by this error message that I get when I try to apply lmer() to a simple dataset with one between factor (age) and one within factor (item): "$ operator is invalid for atomic vectors" I'll just provide the code, because I don't see where the problem is: library(lme4) options(contrasts=c("contr.helmert","contr.poly")) data =

Dear all, Can anyone help me, my R software can not run a nested linear regression by using the lme funcion. The message that appears is  Error: could not find function "lme" I already downloaded and loaded the package, please see below. Thank you in advance for any help!

Hi, I have performed a binary logistic regression using the glm ( family = binomial("logit") )command on 6 IV's and one DV. I would like to now repeat the regression in backward fashion. What is the easiest way to do so in R? Thanks in advance! Best, Angela [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I just installed version 2.11.1 on my Mac OS X 10.5.2. When I try running R from my xterm, I get the following error: Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called 'lme4' Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .RData I am returned to the terminal prompt and can not run R. I can open this version of R from the R console and tried installing the lme4 source

Hello, I am trying to use the lmer function from the lme4 package I have installed today (lme4_0.999375-32.zip; R-2.10.1). According to the information, I should be able to use a generalized linear mixed model. However when I try to fit a model with Gamma distribution of the errors, it gives me the following error model1<-lmer(Cmic~1+(1|FOREST/DEPTH),data=DATOS,family=Gamma) Error en

Hello all! R2.0.1, W2k. All packages updated. I?m heavily dependant on using mixed models. Up til?now I have used lme() from nlme as I have been told to. Together with estimable() from gmodels it works smooth. I also often run Rcmdr, mostly for quick graphics. After using Rcmdr, on reopening the R workspace all help libraries for Rcmdr (22 !) loads, among them nlme, but not Rcmdr itself. Why?

Hi all I tried to reproduce an example with lme and used the Orthodont dataset. library(nlme) fm2a.1 <- lme(distance ~ age + Sex, data = Orthodont, random = ~ 1 | Subject) anova(fm2a.1) > numDF denDF F-value p-value > (Intercept) 1 80 4123.156 <.0001 > age 1 80 114.838 <.0001 > Sex 1 25 9.292 0.0054 or alternatively

Dear R-users, I am using the most updated package of lme4 (lme4_0.999375-2). I have a data set consisting of ~900 observations at ~440 independent survey sites. There are an unbalanced number of surveys at each site. I am attempting to develop several models evaluating the presence/absence of a species (PRES) at these random sites (SITE) using a number of predictor variables. The

Hello, Any advice or pointers for implementing Sobel's test for mediation in 2-level model setting? For fitting the hierarchical models, I am using "lme4" but could also revert to "nlme" since it is a relatively simple varying intercept model and they yield identical estimates. I apologize for this is an R question with an embedded statistical question. I noticed that a

I have installed lme4 library, but when I try something with lmer() function, I receive error message. On the other hand, I can use lme() function from the same library. Are those two the very same function or not? I am a bit confused. I am using: $platform: "i386-pc-linux-gnu" $arch: "i386" $os: "linux-gnu" $system: "i386, linux-gnu" $major: "2"

I'm trying to use the lmeSplines package together with lme4. Below is (1) an example of lmeSplines together with nlme (2) an attempt to use lmeSplines with lme4 (3) then a comparison of the random effects from the two different methods. (1) require(lmeSplines) data(smSplineEx1) dat <- smSplineEx1 dat.lo <- loess(y~time, data=dat) plot(dat.lo) dat$all <- rep(1,nrow(dat)) times20

Hi, I'm having some problems regarding the packages lme4 and nlme, more specifically in the denominator degrees of freedom. I used data Orthodont for the two packages. The commands used are below. require(nlme) data(Orthodont) fm1<-lme(distance~age+ Sex, data=Orthodont,random=~1|Subject, method="REML") anova(fm1) numDF DenDF F-value p-value (Intercept) 1

Hi all - (this is posted to r-help and R-SIG-MAC) OSX 10.3.7, R 2.0.1, lme4/Matrix/latticeExtra latest, fresh install of R. MASS loaded (or not). I am getting an error message for the print() and summary() commands with all lme models I try and run in lme4 (GLMM's work fine). Using the example from the lme help, summary and print produce the following errors, despite the model being

I would appreciate help translating the following lme model to an lmer function. lme(lognrms ~ Group*Rotation*muscle*side*support*arms, random=~1|Subject/Stratum2/rep, data=Data) Many thanks Ross Darnell r.darnell at uq.edu.au

Dear all, I have tried to consider a correlation structure in lme (package lme4), but without success. I have used something like: > risul<-lme(y~x+ z , data=mydata, random=~ x | g, correlation = corAR1()) but the result is the same as: > risul<-lme(y~x+ z , data=mydata, random=~ x | g).

Dear List: I was able to run the following in nlme successfully, but the same model and code (same dataset) failed to run in lme4 and gave me the error message below.

hello! this is a question, how can i specify the random part in the GLMM-call (of the lme4 library) for compound matrices just in the the same way as they defined in the lme-Call (of the nlme library). For example i would just need random=list(my.Subject=pdBlocked(list(pdIdent(~... , ...),pdIdent(~... , ...)))) this specification , if i also attach library(nlme) , is not

Hello UseRs, I've just tried to load the lme4 package and got the error message, "function 'cholmod_l_start' not provided by package 'Matrix'". I downloaded the latest version of lme4 and its required packages (lattice and Matrix) as suggested in the archives and still got this message. The FAQ and archives suggested to check the R version requirements, but I'm
