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

Dear all, I have tried to calculate a GLMM fit with lmer (lme4) and glmmPQL (MASS), I also used glm for comparison. I am getting very different results from different functions, and I suspect that the problem is with our dataset rather than the functions, but I would appreciate help in deciding whether my suspicions are right. If indeed we are attempting the wrong type of analysis, some

Dear R users, I'm hoping that more experienced users will be able to assist me in examining the model fit of a mixed generalised linear model. The example using the data 'bacteria' within the MASS package will hopefully illustrate what I would like to acheive; library(MASS) library(nlme) attach(bacteria) # y being output and the trt - treatment group being an explanatory variable.

Dear R users I encounter a problem when i perform a generalized linear mixed model (binary data) with the lmer function (package lme4) with R 2.1.0 on windows XP and the latest version of package "lme4" (0.96-1) and "matrix" (0.96-2) both options "PQL" and "Laplace" for the method argument in lmer function gave me the same results (random and fixed effects

I have a data frame that looks like this: > gctablechromonly[1:5,] refseq geometry gccontent X60_origin X60_terminus length kingdom 1 NC_009484 cir 0.6799 1790000 773000 3389227 Bacteria 2 NC_009484 cir 0.6799 1790000 773000 3389227 Bacteria 3 NC_009484 cir 0.6799 1790000 773000 3389227 Bacteria 4 NC_009484 cir 0.6799

Is the labeling/naming of levels in the documentation for the predict.glmmPQL function "backwards"? The documentation states "Level values increase from outermost to innermost grouping, with level zero corresponding to the population predictions". Taking the sample in the documentation: fit <- glmmPQL(y ~ trt + I(week > 2), random = ~1 | ID, family =

Hi, I was recently misfortunate enough to have to use regular expressions to sort out some data in R. I'm working on a data file which contains taxonomical data of bacteria in hierarchical order. A sample of this file can be generated using: tax.data <- read.table(header=F, con <- textConnection(' G9SS7BA01D15EC Bacteria(100) Cyanobacteria(84) unclassified G9SS7BA01C9UIR

Sorry about this one being long, and I apologise beforehand if there is something obvious here that I have missed. I am new to creating my own functions in R, and I am uncertain of how they work. I have a data set that I have read into a data frame: > gctable[1:5,] refseq geometry X60_origin X60_terminus length kingdom 1 NC_009484 cir 1790000 773000 3389227 Bacteria 2

Hello Everybody, I have an eps figure an awesome bacteria and a plot (generated using R) also in eps format. Now it looks like there is space for only one figure and I have to insert the picture of the bacteria into the plot. Is there a way to insert figures (eps/png/jpg) in to plots (may be control over placement of figures in the plot as well?) ? By plots I mean data represented using axes and

Dear all, I am interested in correctly testing effects of continuous environmental variables and ordered factors on bacterial abundance. Bacterial abundance is derived from counts and expressed as percentage. My problem is that the abundance data contain many zero values: Bacteria <-

Dear Rusers, I have used R,S-PLUS and SAS to analyze the sample data "bacteria" in MASS package. Their results are listed below. I have three questions, anybody can give me possible answers? Q1:From the results, we see that R get 'NAs'for AIC,BIC and logLik, while S-PLUS8.0 gave the exact values for them. Why? I had thought that R should give the same results as SPLUS here.

Hi ALL, I have very simple question regarding pattern matching. Could anyone tell me how to I can use R to retrieve string pattern from text file. for example my file contain following information SpeciesCommon=(Human);SpeciesScientific=(Homo sapiens);ReactiveCentres=(N,C,C,C,+ H,O,C,C,C,C,O,H);BondInvolved=(C-H);EzCatDBID=(S00343);BondFormed=(O-H,O-H);Bond+

I am new to R, and I couldn't find the answers to my question in a faq. This could however be because I didn't know what to look for...:) I have three classes of data, data for bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes. I wish to display these in a histogram where all of the values are used to calculate each column. But, I want each column split in three, where the size of each coloured area

Dear all, I would like to ask, if there is a way to make the variance / dispersion parameter $\theta$ (referring to MASS, 4th edition, p. 206) in the function glm.nb dependent on the data, e.g. $1/ \theta = exp(x \beta)$ and to estimate the parameter vector $\beta$ additionally. If this is not possible with glm.nb, is there another function / package which might do that? Thank you very much for

I am having trouble displaying a dendrogram of evolutionary relationships (a phylogram imported from the ape package) as the vertical component of a heatmap, but keeping the hierarchical clustering of the horizontal component. The relationships of the vertical component in the generated heatmap are not that of the dendrogram, although the ordering is. In more detail, I am attempting to generate

Dear All, I am using the function vuong from pscl package to compare 2 non nested models NB1 (negative binomial I ) and Zero-inflated model. NB1 <-  glm(, , family = quasipoisson), it is an object of class: "glm" "lm" zinb <- zeroinfl( dist = "negbin") is an object of class: "zeroinfl"   when applying vuong function I get the following: vuong(NB1,

The explanation is likely that class(x) returns a character vector of length > 1. If you go into the code you can achieve what is probably intended without triggering this error by replacing that statement with the following: if (inherits(x,"netmeta")) ...

Hi all, Cameron and Trivedi in their 1998 Regression Analysis of Count Data refer to NB1 and NB2 NB1 is the negative binomial model with variance = mu + (alpha * mu^1) yielding (1+alpha)*mu NB2 sets the power to 2; hence, variance = mu + (alpha*mu^2) I think that NB2 can be requested via negbin2<-glm(hhm~sex+age,family=quasi(var="mu^2",link="log")) Is
