similar to: R Package about Variable Selection for GLMM (Generalized Linear Mixed Model)?

Dear R-list, I thought that I would let some of you know of a free R package, glmm.ADMB, that can handle mixed models for overdispersed and zero-inflated count data (negativebinomial and poisson). It was built using AD Model Builder software (Otter Research) for random effects modeling and is available (for free and runs in R) at: http://otter-rsch.com/admbre/examples/glmmadmb/glmmADMB.html I

I'm trying to use GLMM in library(lme4), R 1.9.0pat, updated just now. I get an error message I can't decipher: library(lme4) set.seed(1) n <- 10 N <- 1000 DF <- data.frame(yield=rbinom(n, N, .99)/N, nest=1:n) fit <- GLMM(yield~1, random=~1|nest, family=binomial, data=DF, weights=rep(N, n)) Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : ..1 used in an incorrect

Hello, I have a problem concerning estimation of GLMM. I used methods from 3 different packages (see program). I would expect similar results for glmm and glmmML. The result differ in the estimated standard errors, however. I compared the results to MASS, 4th ed., p. 297. The results from glmmML resemble the given result for 'Numerical integration', but glmm output differs. For the

This is a summary and extension of the thread "GLMM (lme4) vs. glmmPQL output" http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/04/01/0180.html In the new revision (#Version: 0.4-7) of lme4 the standard errors are close to those of the 4 other methods. Thanks to Douglas Bates, Saikat DebRoy for the revision, and to G?ran Brostr?m who run a simulation. In response to my first posting, Prof.

Is there an easy way to get confidence intervals from "glmm" in Jim Lindsey's library(repeated)? Consider the following slight modification of an example from the help page: > df <- data.frame(r=rbinom(10,10,0.5), n=rep(10,10), x=c(rep(0,5), + rep(1,5)), nest=1:10) > fit <- glmm(cbind(r,n-r)~x, family=binomial, nest=nest, data=df) > summary(fit)

Hi R-Helpers: I?m trying to use the function GLMM from lme4 package, (R-1.8.1, Windows 98),and I get the following error: > pd5 = GLMM(nplant~sitio+ + fert+ + remo+ + sitio:fert+ + remo:sitio+ + remo:fert+ + remo:fert:sitio + data=datos, + family=binomial, +

R glmmADMB question I am trying to use glmm.admb (the latest alpha version from the R forge website 0.6.4) to model my count data that is overdispersed using a negative binomial family but keep getting the following error message: Error in glmm.admb(data$total_bites_rounded ~ age_class_back, random = ~food.dif.id, : Argument "group" must be a character string specifying the

Dear Dr Skaug and R users, just discovered glmm.admb in R, and it seems a very useful tool. However, I ran into a problem when I compare two models: m1<-glmm.admb(survival~light*species*damage, random=~1, group="table", data=bm, family="binomial", link="logit") m1.1<-glmm.admb(survival~(light+species+damage)^2, random=~1, group="table", data=bm,

I'm having trouble using binomial(link="cloglog") with GLMM in lme4, Version: 0.5-2, Date: 2004/03/11. The example in the Help file works fine, even simplified as follows: fm0 <- GLMM(immun~1, data=guImmun, family=binomial, random=~1|comm) However, for another application, I need binomial(link="cloglog"), and this generates an error for me: >

Hello, I'm very sorry for my repeated question, which i asked 2 weeks ago, namely: i'm interested in possibly simple random-part specification in the call of GLMM(...) (from lme4-package) i have a random blocked structure (i.e. ~var.a1+var.a2+var.a3, ~var.b1+var.b2,~var.c1+var.c2+var.c3+var.c4), and each one part of it i would like to model as Identity-structure matrix. So i had,

Dear R users I would like to ask a question regarding to icc (intraclass correlation) or many biologists refer it to as repeatability. It is very useful to get icc for many reasons and it is easy to do so from linear mixed-effects models and many packages like psy, psychometric, aod and irr have functions to calculate icc. icc = between-group variance/(between-group variance + residual

Dear list members, In re-running with GLMM() from the lme4 package a generalized-linear mixed model that I had previously fit with glmmPQL() from MASS, I'm getting a warning of a convergence failure, even when I set the method argument of GLMM() to "PQL": > bang.mod.1 <- glmmPQL(contraception ~ as.factor(children) + cage + urban, + random=~as.factor(children) + cage +

Can GLMM take formula derived from another object? foo <- glm (OVEN ~ h + h2, poisson, dataset) # ok bar <- GLMM (OVEN ~ h + h2, poisson, dataset, random = list (yr = ~1)) #error bar <- GLMM (foo$formula, poisson, dataset, random = list (yr = ~1)) #Error in foo$("formula" + yr + 1) : invalid subscript type I am using R2.1.0, lme4 0.8-2, windows xp.

Hi R-users,   I intend to apply a mixed model on a set of longitudinal data, with a negative binomial distributed dependent variable, and after following the discussions on R help list I saw that more experienced people recommended using lmer (from lme4 pack), glmmPQL (from MASS) or glmm.admb (from glmmADMB pack)     My first problem: yesterday this syntax was ok, now I get this weird message (I

Hi, I just registered. I have a problem related to wine: lmms can run some vst plugins with VeSTige, so I tried to get ez drummer working. It didn't work, so I downloaded Toontrack Solo, that is a program needed to run ez drummer as a standalone, and not as a plugin. It still wouldn't work, neither as a standalone. I made a few searches and I found out that it needed mfc42.dll so I

Hi again. Perhaps a simple question this time.... I am analysing data with a dependent variable of insect counts, a fixed effect of site and two random effects, day, which is the same set of 10 days for each site, and then transect, which is nested within site (5 each). I am trying to fit the cross classified model using GLMM in lme4. I have, for potential use, created a second coding
