hello, i'd appreciate help with my glmer. i have a dependent which is an index (MH.index) ranging from 0-1. this index can also be considered as a propability. as i have a fixed factor (stage) and a nested random factor (site) i tried to model with glmer. i read that it's possible to use a quasibinomial distribution, for this kind of data, which i than actually did - but firstly (1)

Hello, I'm trying to fit a generalized linear mixed model to estimate diabetes prevalence at US county level. To do this I'm using the glmer() function in package lme4. I can fit relatively simple models (i.e. few covariates) but when expanding the number of covariates I usually encounter the following error message. gm8 <-

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

Dear all, My package has Depends: lme4.0 in the DESCRIPTION. I need to extract the fixed effect of a model and their standard errors. I use coef(summary(model)) inside a function to do that. Model is the output of a call to glmer() from the lme4.0 package. coef(summary(model)) throws an error: $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors I have tracked it down to a problem with summary(model)

Dear All, This may sound like a dumb question but I am trying to use a mixed model to determine the predictors of bat activity along hedges within 8 sites. So my response is continuous (bat passes) my predictors fixed effects are continuous (height metres), width (metres) etc and the random effect is site - can you tell me if the fixed effects can be continuous as all the examples I have

Dear R Help, I would like to use the glmer.nb function for mixed modelling using negative binomial distribution please. On the CRAN website apparently this function is called from the lme4 package (version 0.99999911-1). I have downloaded the latest version of the lme4 package (version 0.999999-2) and have recently reinstalled the latest version of 64-bit R (version 3.0.1) but after

Hello, I have compared the potentials of R and Stata about GLMM, analysing the dataset 'ohio' in the package 'faraway' (the same dataset is analysed with GEE in the book 'Extending the linear model with R' by Julian Faraway). Basically, I've tried the 2 commands 'glmmPQL' and 'glmer' of R and the command 'xtmelogit' of Stata. If I'm not

I'm trying to figure out how to carry out a Poisson regression fit to longitudinal data with a gamma distribution with unknown shape and scale parameters. I've tried the 'lmer4' package's glmer() function, which fits the Poisson regression using: library('lme4') fit5<- glmer(seizures ~ time + progabide + timeXprog + offset(lnPeriod) + (1|id), data=pdata,

Dear list, I am trying to use MuMIn to compare all possible mixed models using the dredge function on binomial data but I am getting an error message that I cannot decode. This error only occurs when I use glmer. When I use an lmer analysis on a different response variable every works great. Example using a simplified glmer model global model: mod<- glmer(cbind(st$X2.REP.LIVE,

Sub: using glmer to fit a mixed-effects model with gamma-distributed response variable Hello, I'm currently trying to fit a mixed effects model , i.e.: > burnedmodel1.2<-glmer(gpost.f.crwn.length~lg.shigo.av+dbh+leaf.area+ bark.thick.bh+ht.any+ht.alive+(1|site/transect/plot), family=gaussian, na.action=na.omit, data=rws30.BL) If I run this code, I get the error below: Error:

Dear all, I have the following dataset with results from an experiment with individual bats that performed two tasks related to prey capture under different conditions: X variables: indiv - 5 individual bats used in the experiment; all of which performed both tasks task - 2 tasks that each individual bat had to perform dist - 5 repeated measures of individual bats at 5 different distances from

I am currently running a generalized linear mixed effect model using glmer and I want to estimate how much of the variance is explained by my random factor. summary(glmer(cbind(female,male)~date+(1|dam),family=binomial,data= liz3")) Generalized linear mixed model fit by the Laplace approximation Formula: cbind(female, male) ~ date + (1 | dam) Data: liz3 AIC BIC logLik deviance 241.3

I've built a poisson regression model for multiple subjects by using the GLMER function. I've also developed some curves for defining its limits but I did not succeed in developing confidence interval for the model's curve (confint or predict does not work - only for glm). Does anyone know how can I produce confidence interva for a glmer model? I'll appriciate any help... Liat --

Dear R and lme4 users- I am trying to fit a mixed-effects model, with the glmer function in lme4, to right-skewed, zero-inflated, non-normal data representing understory grass and forb biomass (continuous) as a function of tree density (indicated by leaf-area). Thus, I have tried to specify a Gamma distribution with a log-link function but consistently receive an error as follows: >

Dear all, I am using function glmer from package lme4 to fit a generalized linear mixed effect model.

Hi there, I am attempting to assess whether there is a trend in a observations of a population that was observed on 7 consecutive days in July for 6 years (2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008). I have count data of the number of observations per day for each of the seven days for each of the 6 years (total of 42 days of count data). Is there a package in R that can accomplish this? I have

Hi everybody: I?m trying to rewrite some routines originally written for SAS?s PROC NLMIXED into LME4's glmer. These examples came from a paper by Nelson et al. (Use of the Probability Integral Transformation to Fit Nonlinear Mixed-Models with Nonnormal Random Effects - 2006). Firstly the authors fit a Poisson model with canonical link and a single normal random effect bi ~ N(0;Sigma^2).The

dear R-users, I have to model counts where all counts above some threshold have been censored. In the same dataset I have too many zeroes for a Poisson or even a negative binomial distribution to make sense, so I would need a zero-inflated-censored negative binomial family for use in glmer (or glmmADMB?). That seems not to exist. my question is : how could I add a custom-built family of
