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 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

Hi all, I was trying to fit a Gamma hierarchical model using "glmer", but got weird error message that I could not understand. On the other hand, a similar call to the glmmPQL leads to results that are close to what I expect. I also tried to change tha "nAGQ" argument in "glmer", but it did not solve the problem. The model I was fitting has a simple structure - one

Hello, I am using glmer() from lmer(lme4) to run generalized linear mixed models. I can't figure out how to extract the z values for the fixed effects that are reported using the summary function . Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Spencer [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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

Dear R users, I'm trying to specify a generalized linear mixed model in R, basically a Poisson model to describe monthly series of counts in different regions. My aim is to fit subject-specific curves, modelling a non-linear trend for each region through random effects for linear splines components (see Durban et al, Stat Med 2005, or " Semiparametric regression" by Ruppert et al,

Hi, I'm new to R and GLMMs, and I've been unable to find the answers to my questions by trawling through the R help archives. I'm hoping someone here can help me. I'm running an analysis on Seedling survival (count data=Poisson distribution) on restoration sites, and my main interest is in determining whether the Nutrients (N) and water absorbing polymer Gel (G) additions to the

I'm resending this message because I did not include a subject line in my first posting. Apologies for the inconvenience! Tanja > 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

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

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,

Hi guys, I'm very new to R and have been teaching myself over the past few months - it's a great tool and I'm hoping to use it to analyse my PhD data.As I'm a bit of a newb, I'd really appreciate any feedback and/or guidance with regards to the following questions that relate to generalized linearmixed modelling (or, at least, I think they do!)(if there is a 'better',

Hello, I am trying to use the lmer function from the lme4 package I have installed today (lme4_0.999375-32.zip; R-2.10.1). According to the information, I should be able to use a generalized linear mixed model. However when I try to fit a model with Gamma distribution of the errors, it gives me the following error model1<-lmer(Cmic~1+(1|FOREST/DEPTH),data=DATOS,family=Gamma) Error en

Dear R users, I'm trying to use function 'refit' from lme4 and I get this error that I can't understand: > refit(dolo4.model4,cbind(uu,50-uu)) Error in function (classes, fdef, mtable) : unable to find an inherited method for function "refit", for signature "mer", "matrix" if I try: > refit(dolo4.model4,uu) Error in asMethod(object) :

Is it possible to use the step() function with a glmer() as an object? I obtain the following error message when I try to do it: "Error in x$terms : $ operator not defined for this S4 class". I perform the glmer correctly but I can't do the step. Thank you so much. -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/step-and-glmer-tp1474390p1474390.html Sent from the R help

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,

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
