I contacted the package developer and that lead to me removing events at time 0 (or subjects with only 1 longitudinal measurement). I then still had the error message "Can't fit a Cox model with 0 failures" which I have managed to avoid by adding 1.8*10^(-15) to all my survival times, any number greater than this also works but nothing smaller! Any explanation of this would help!

Dear list members, the following hlm was constructed: hlm <- groupedData(laut ~ design | grpzugeh, data = imp.not.I) the grouped data object is located at and can be downloaded: www.anicca-vijja.de/lg/hlm_example.Rdata The following works: library(nlme) summary( fitlme <- lme(hlm) ) with output: ... AIC BIC logLik 425.3768 465.6087 -197.6884 Random effects:

Hi, I'm reading van Belle et al "Biostatistics" and trying to run a cox test using a dataset from: http://faculty.washington.edu/~heagerty/Books/Biostatistics/chapter16.html (Primary Biliary Cirrhosis data link at top of the page), I'm using the following code: --------------- start of code library(survival) liver <-

R-Helpers, I'm sorry to have to ask this -- I've not used R very much in the last 8 or 10 months, and I've gotten rusty.

Dear alltogether, how can a delay like possible with par(ask=TRUE) be attained while using trellis-plots within a loop or something like that? the following draws each plot without waiting for a signal (mouse-klick), so par() does not work for that: library(nlme) for(i in 1:3) { fitlme <- lme(Orthodont) par(ask=TRUE) # does not work with trellis.... print(

I have used LME to fit a mixed effects model on my data. The data has 274 subjects with 1 to 6 observations per subject. Time is not linearly associated with the outcome, so I used ns to fit a natural cubic spline with 3 auto knots. Subject and the natural cubic time of spline are both treated as random effects. This model has run without any problem, but now I would like to plot trajectories for

Dear all, I'm looking for someone that help me to write an R function to simulate survival data under complex situations, namely time-varying hazard ratio, marginal distribution of survival times and covariates. The algorithm is described in the reference below and it should be not very difficult to implement it. However I tried but without success....;-( Below there the code that I used; it

Dear Graham. Any updates regarding your message about JointModel error messages? I am encountering similar errors. Thank you. Havi [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I am trying to extract the coefficients matrix from a gls summary. Contrary to the lm function, the command fit$coefficients returns only the estimates of the model, not the whole matrix including the std errors, the t and the p values. example: ctl <- c(4.17,5.58,5.18,6.11,4.50,4.61,5.17,4.53,5.33,5.14) trt <- c(4.81,4.17,4.41,3.59,5.87,3.83,6.03,4.89,4.32,4.69) group <-

hello R: we have a two-parameter IRT simulation code. The goal is to generate a response matrix.But the "for" part doesn't run. we don't know what is wrong with it.

Dear R-users, I'd like to announce the release of the new version of package JM (soon available from CRAN) for the joint modeling of longitudinal and time-to-event data using shared parameter models. These models are applicable in mainly two settings. First, when focus is in the survival outcome and we wish to account for the effect of a time-dependent covariate measured with error.

Dear list, I am wondering whether R allows to perform a Poisson regression on counting data which include censored observations, that is, observations of the form "2 events or more" or "less than 2 events" or even "1 or 2 events". Can anyone give me a hint whether this is already possible and how to do it? Data of the form (obstime is the observation time,

I'm working on some functions for generalized canonical discriminant analysis in conjunction with the heplots package. I've written a candisc.mlm function that takes an mlm object and computes a candisc object containing canonical scores, coeficients, etc. But I'm stumped on how to construct a mlm for the canonical scores, in a function using the *same* right-hand-side of the model

Hi, I have a system of ODE's I can solve with lsoda.

Dear R-users, I'd like to announce the release of the new package JM (JM_0.1-0 available from CRAN) for the joint modelling of longitudinal and time-to-event data. The package has a single model-fitting function called jointModel(), which accepts as main arguments a linear mixed effects object fit returned by function lme() of package nlme, and a survival object fit returned by either
