Dear all, I'm building binomial mixed-model using lme4 package. I'm able to obtain outputs properly except when I include two particular variables: date (from 23 to 34; 1 being to first sampling day) and Latitude (UTM/100 000, from 55.42 to 56.53). No "NA" is any of those variables. In those cases, I get the warning message: "nlminb failed to converge" I tried to

Hi all I am analyzing a data set containing information about the behaviour of marine molluscs on a vertical wall. Since I have replicate observations on the same individuals I was thinking to use the geepack library. The data are organised in a dataframe with the following variables Date = date of sampling, Size = dimensions (mm) Activity duration of activity (min) Water = duration of

Hi all, i purchased a copy of the book Morphometrics with R by Springer. at the end of each chapter there are exercises to train what you just read and (hope) learned... so i have this problem: Define a hypothetical data frame containing five measurments normally distributed(size,head,pectoral,area,weight) for four individuals (named ind1, ind2, etc). ADD A COLUMN corresponding to the

I am designing an interlaboratory validation study for a presence/absence alternative method test kit vs. a presence/absence reference method test kit. There will be 10 laboratories conducting tests using both methods. In each laboratory, there will be 5 specimens tested, each of the 5 specimens twice by both methods (alternative, standard). The total number of data are 10 x 5 x 4 = 200.

[Corrected the model formula to include "method".] I am designing an interlaboratory validation study for a presence/absence alternative method test kit vs. a presence/absence reference method test kit.

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me with specifying a right model for my analysis. I am a beginner to lme methods and though have spent already many hours studying from various books an on-line helps, I was unfortunately not able to find a solution to my problem on my own. Data structure: I studied escape behavior of three species of a prey to a predator. The prey specimens (many) were in a

Dear all What I would like to know is if there is a way to know which specific samples fall within a terminal branch created by tree? The classification summarizes data, but I want to know which specific samples fall within each classification (branch in the dendrogram). Data contains site codes and multiple fields describing the characters of a single specimen of grass growing there.

Dear all, I'm using Roxygen for the first time and I'm getting a rather cryptic error message. I must be doing something wrong but I have no clue what is it. Any suggestions?

This question has probably been asked & answered before, but I can't find it: How to print a multiline figure caption in a plot, where different lines have different fonts and font sizes, and so that the lines of text are spaced in a reasonable way. Here's a simple example, where I have to keep tweaking the y coordinate and the cex combos, while I also manually adjust the aspect

I am trying to apply a permuation-based MANOVA (Anderson 2001) to a set of morphological data from three ecomorphs of fish reared under two different conditions and measured at two points during ontogeny. I will supply a distance matrix based on Procrustes distances calculated outside of vegan. I have not found an example of a design such as this for adonis. However, I have designed my factors

I'm trying to create maps of reptile abundance in different states & counties using data from Herp.net, which provides lists of specimens with the places that they were found. First I would like to parse the list by state using 2-letter abbreviations, since I'm focusing on certain regions. To do this, I've been trying to create a vector (state2) that gives all state names as

Back in 2003/2004 when finding the topic for my masters thesis, I had a secondary project idea, perhaps its about time to do something about the idea, and hear if anyone else thinks its a good idea? The basic idea is to: "Categorize traffic by behavior" The categorization should be based upon things like packet timing characteristics and packet size, rather than standard port

*Thanks* all those who took the time to help me (even if the "question" was not related to - the use of - R). Now I think I can soundly make my point w/ the referee (can I use your replies? If so I intend to properly cite its use?!?). Regards, Eduardo Esteves ps - Sorry for not explaining the "biological details" of my posting: RNA/DNA is the ratio of RNA content to

Greetings. I'm teaching linear regression this semester and that means I write more functions for my regression support package "rockchalk". I'm at a point now were some fresh eyes would help, so if you are a student in a course on regression, please consider looking over my package overview document here: http://pj.freefaculty.org/R/rockchalk.pdf That tells how you can grab

Hello everyone, I am totally new to the R program. I have had a look at some pdf documents that I downloaded and that explain how to do many things in R; however, I still cannot figure out how to do what I want to do, which is to perform Discriminant Correspondence Analysis on a rectangular matrix of data that I have in an Excel file. I know R users frown upon Excel and recommend converting Excel

I am sure this is a very basic question: I have 600,000 categorical variables in a data.frame - each of which is classified as "0", "1", or "2" What I would like to do is collapse "1" and "2" and leave "0" by itself, such that after re-categorizing "0" = "0"; "1" = "1" and "2" =

I've been using the package rpart with R 1.3.0 for Windows to produce simple classification trees for some measurement data from paleontological specimens. Both the rpart documentation and the output confirm that the program produces splits on continuous data that leave "holes" in the data. It is probably of little practical importance, but is there a reason why the binary

Hi, I am beginner with R and need firm guidance with my problem. I have seen some other threads discussing the subject of right censored data, but I am not sure whether or not this problem can be regarded as such. Data: I have a vector with laboratory test data (strength of wood specimens, example attached as txt-file). This data is the full sample. It is a common view that this kind of data

Dear Friends I have a technical question about conducting 2 way repeated measures ANOVA analysis using R. 1.

Dear Gideon Unless you are willing to accept uncorrelated measures in time and homogeneity of variance I would go for a linear mixed model instead.
