similar to: different fits for geese and geeglm in geepack?

Dear all, I am performing a binomial glmm analysis using the lmer function in the lme4 package (last release, just downloaded). I am using the "Laplace method". However, I am not sure about what I should do to test for the significance of fixed effects in the binomial case: Is it correct to test a full model against a model from which I remove the fixed effect I want to test

hi, sorry for a possibly naive question but I am a bit of a beginner in R programming... I wrote a function which simulates some data and performs two different kinds of analyses on it. as an output I get the statistics for the two analyses (t-values). Now I would like to have an other function which reruns my first function say a 1000 times and attaches the resulting statistics in a data.frame

Hello, Is it possible to derive Pan's QIC (2001 Biometrics 57:120) from either a fitted gee() object in the gee package or from a geese() fit in the geepack package? If so, would anyone be kind enough to provide me with code to do so? I realize that QIC is part of the output from yags() but I would like to use one of the other functions. Thanks. Richard

Dear all, We have got data (response and predictor variables) for each country of the world; I started by fitting standard GLM and tested for spatial correlation using variogram models (geoR) fitted to the residuals of the GLM. Spatial autocorrelation is significant. Therefore, I think about using general estimation equations (geeglm or geese in geepack) allowing for residual spatial

We are currently analyzing data on children clustered in day care-centers (DCC). We have tried to use geepack and gee libraries to estimate an overall incidence rate for absences (=number of absences/risk time) by specifying geese(number.absences ~ offset(log(risktime)), id=day.care.id, family=poisson("log"), data=dcc, corstr="exch",

Good evening, In my research I am studying the marginal models, where the main goal is on the structure of the association. My practical example has cluster with up to 600 observations and with this database, the function geese() return me the following message: This application has requested the runtime to terminate it is on unusual way. Please contact the application’s support team

Hi A quick question. Standard errors reported by gee/yags differs from the ones in geeglm (geepack). require(gee) require(geepack) require(yags) mm <- gee(breaks ~ tension, id=wool, data=warpbreaks, corstr="exchangeable") mm2 <- geeglm(breaks ~ tension, id=wool, data=warpbreaks, corstr="exchangeable", std.err = "san.se") mm3 <- yags(breaks ~

I am working with geese from geepack, does anyone know how to get the predicted values from this program. I tried the predict function and got the error Error in predict(results.e, newdat = prog) : no applicable method for "predict" Thank you for any help you can send, Suzette ================================= Suzette Blanchard, Ph.D. UCSD-PPRU

Dear R users, I fitted a GEE model using the function 'geese' (or 'geeglm') with user defined correlation matrix. I want to get the var-cov matrix of the regression coefficients. But the output provides only limited information. I would be very much thankful if you could kindly let me know how to get it..since I am struggling lot getting this. Thanks -- View this message in

I have included data at the bottom of this email. It can be read in by highlighting the data and then using this command: dat <- read.table("clipboard", header = TRUE,sep="\t") I can obtain solutions with both of these: library(gee) fit.gee<-gee(score ~ chem + time, id=id, family=gaussian,corstr="exchangeable",data=dat) and library(yags) fit.yags <-

Hello, I have the following r-codes for solving a quasilikelihood estimating equation: >library(geepack) >fit<-geese(y~x1+x2+x3,jack=TRUE,id=id,scale.fix=TRUE,data=dat,mean.link = "logit", corstr="independence") Now my question is how can I calculate the confidence interval of the parameters of the above model "fit"?

Hi R-users, I have a problem for updating the estimates of correlation coefficient in simulation loop. I want to get the matrix of correlation coefficients (matrix, name: est) from geese by using loop(500 times) . I used following code to update, nsim<-500 est<-matrix(ncol=2, nrow=nsim) for(i in 1:nsim){ fit <- geese(x ~ trt, id=subject, data=data_gee, family=binomial,

Hi A.K Regarding my question on comparing normal/ obese/overweight with blood pressure change, I did finally as per the first suggestion of stacking the data and creating a normal category . This only gives me a obese not obese 14, but when I did with the wide format hoping to get a obese14,normal14,overweight 14 Vs hibp 21, i could not complete any of the models. This time I classified obese=1

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, I downloaded both gee and geepack, and I am trying to understand the differences between the two libraries. I used the same data and estimated the same model, with a correlation structure autoregressive of order 1. Surprisingly for me, I found very different results. Coefficients are slightly different in value but sometimes opposite in sign. Moreover, the estimate of rho (correlation

I have a generalized linear model to solve. I used package "geepack". When I use the correlation structure "unstructured", I get a messeage that- R GUI front-end has stopped working. Why this happens? What is the solution? The r codes are as follows: a<-read.table("d:/bmt.txt",header=T")

I want to run a GEE for a time series of counts. The data are daily respiratory mortality counts and so there aren't any 'clusters' in the longitudinal sense. Neither the gee or geese packages work. The gee one wont run at all and the geese one produces NaNs or just runs indefinitely depending on how long the time series is. Any ideas how to make these work of any other packages that

Dear R users I am analysing data from a group of twins and their siblings. The measures that we are interested in are all correlated within families, with the correlations being stronger between twins than between non-twin siblings. The measures are all calculated from survey answers and by definition have limited ranges (e.g. -5 to +5), though within the range they are approximately normally
