similar to: lmer and negative binomial family

Seems the message below and the thread have reveived no attention/answer. The output presented is quite tricky. Looks like if lmer (lme4 0.9975-10) has accepted a negative binomial link with reasonable estimates, although it was not designed for... What can one think about result validity ?

Context: I have two or more rgl-based views of a given data set, perhaps fitting different models, or showing different things across views. I want to be able to hand-rotate, zoom, scale one view to something I like, and then show the other views with matching viewpoints and scaling. so that one could flip back/forth among graphs and see only the relevant differences. In 2D, all this usually

Dear R-users, I'm new to R, so my apologies if this question doesn't make sense. I've tried the following model in lmer, and it works perfectly: model<-lmer(aphids~densroot+zone+(1|zone/site), family=quasipoisson) But if I try the exact same model with a different variable, totmas, the model looks as follows: model<-lmer(aphids~totmas+zone+(1|zone/site), family=quasipoisson)

Dear R experts. I might be missing something obvious. I have been trying to fix this problem for some weeks. Please help. #data ped <- c(rep(1, 4), rep(2, 3), rep(3, 3)) y <- rnorm(10, 8, 2) # variable set 1 M1a <- sample (c(1, 2,3), 10, replace= T) M1b <- sample (c(1, 2,3), 10, replace= T) M1aP1 <- sample (c(1, 2,3), 10, replace= T) M1bP2 <- sample (c(1, 2,3), 10, replace= T)

A copy of this question can be found on Cross Validated: https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/645362 I am estimating a system of seemingly unrelated regressions (SUR) in R. Each of the equations has one unique regressor and one common regressor. I am using `gmm::sysGmm` and am experimenting with different weighting matrices. I get the same results (point estimates, standard errors and

Generally speaking, this sort of detailed statistical question about a speccial package in R does not get a reply on this general R programming help list. Instead, I suggest you either email the maintainer (found by ?maintainer) or ask a question on a relevant R task view, such as https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Econometrics.html . (or any other that you judge to be more appropriate).

Hello all, I have count data with about 36% of observations being zeros. I found in some of the examples of the r-help mail archives that a tweedie family of distributions could be used to fit a model with random effects. Upon installing the tweedie package and attempting to fit the following model: lmer(SUS ~ 1 + (1|

Hi all, I have two time series that I would like to correlate but as they are autocorrelated, I am "pre-whitening" them first by fitting ARIMA models, then correlating their residuals....as described in https://onlinecourses.science.psu.edu/stat510/?q=node/75 However, http://www.stat.pitt.edu/stoffer/tsa2/Rissues.htm discusses some issues with ARIMA in R. In particular, for issue 2, if

I'll address two issues. The first is today's error message and the other is change management for contributed packages on CRAN. TODAY'S ERROR MESSAGE I switched from the 0.995-1 versions of lme4 and Matrix to those referenced in the subject line this afternoon. Prior to using these packages on anything else, I applied them to code that 'worked' (provided numerical results

Dear R users, I'm performing some GLMMs analysis with a negative binomial link. I already performed such analysis some months ago with the lmer() function but when I tried it today I encountered this problem: Erreur dans famType(glmFit$family) : unknown GLM family: 'Negative Binomial' Does anyone know if the negative binomial family has been removed from this function? I really

OK, folks. You're doing a great job of describing the current milieu with a rough description of some best practices. Now how about some specific sources you personally used to learn your craft that we can use likewise? PatrickD

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 <-

Hi, I have an issue with Samba using winbind. We have Active Directory groups with underscores (for example sambagroup_underscore). But an underscore in Samba (Unix) is a space in Active Directory. So my question is what character is used in Samba (Unix) for an underscore in Active Directory? Or are there other solutions to solve this? I would be very happy if you can help me! Met
