Dear r-helpers, I would very much appreciate help with the following problem: The following command (in a .Rnw file) latex(anova(e7.lmer3, e7.lmer4), file = 'e7lmer34.tex', rowname = c ('nonlinear', 'linear'), longtable = FALSE, dcolumn = T, booktabs = T, table.env = F) produces the following output after running Sweave: % latex.default(anova(e7.lmer1, e7.lmer2),

Dear members, I would like to switch from nlme to lme4 and try to translate some of my models that worked fine with lme. I have problems with the pdMat classes. Below a toy dataset with a fixed effect F and a random effect R. I gave also 2 similar lme models. The one containing pdLogChol (lme1) is easy to translate (as it is an explicit notation of the default model) The more parsimonious

Dear useRs, I am using mgcv version 1.7-16. When I create a model with a few non-linear terms and a random intercept for (in my case) country using s(Country,bs="re"), the representative line in my model (i.e. approximate significance of smooth terms) for the random intercept reads: edf Ref.df F p-value s(Country) 36.127 58.551 0.644

Dear All, I've been using mcmcsamp() successfully with a few different mixed models but I can't get it to work with the following. Is there an obvious reason why it shouldn't work with a model of this structure ? *brief summary of objective: I want to test the effect of no-fishing marine reserves on the abundance of a target species. I have samples at coral reef sites inside and

Hi All. I'm trying to run a simple model from Baayan, Davidson, & Bates and getting a confusing error message. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here? # Here's the data..... Subj <- factor(rep(1:3,each=6)) Item <- factor(rep(1:3,6)) SOA <- factor(rep(0:1,3,each=3)) RT <- c(466,520,502,475,494,490,516,566,577,491,544,526,484,529,539,470,511,528) priming

Dear colleagues, I have a data from a repeated measures design that I'm analysing through a mixed model. Nine independent sampling units (flasks with culture medium with algae) were randomly divided into 3 groups ("c", "t1", "t2"). There is no need for inclusion of the random effect of the intercept, because the nine sample units are homogeneous among each other

Version 0.9975-11 of the lme4 package has been uploaded to CRAN. The source package should be available on the mirrors in a day or two and binary packages should follow soon after. There are several changes in this release of the package. The most important is the availability of a development version of lmer called, for the time being, lmer2. At present lmer2 only fits linear mixed models.

Hi all, I've now got a problem with some modified lmer code (function lmer1 pasted at end) - I've made only three changes to the lmer code (marked), and I'm not really looking for comments on this function, but would like to know why execution of the following commands that use it almost invariably (but not quite predictably) leads to the R session terminating. Here's the command

Dear R-Users: I am trying to find the robust (or sandwich) estimates of the standard error of fixed effects parameter estimates using the package "lmer2". In model-1, I used "robust=TRUE" on the other, in model-2, I used "robust=FALSE". Both models giving me the same estimates. So my question is, does the robust option works in lmer2 to get the robust estimates of

I suspect the weights argument is not having any effect. Package: Matrix Version: 0.995-2 Date: 2006-01-19 Beginning with this: Browse[1]> resp.lmer <- lmer(SensSSC ~ Block + Season + (1 | Plot) + (1 | Ma) + (1 | Pa) + + (1 | MaPa), weights = SensSSC.N, data = xx) I group the output into a table with my ran.eff function and get this:

Dear R help I have a question on the variance of the binomial probit model. I have fitted the following model : > lmer1<-lmer(mp ~ l + op + l*op+ us_lev + bw_lev +(1|tatu) , + family = binomial(link="probit"), + method = 'Laplace', + data = matings, + msVerbose= True) > summary(lmer1) Generalized linear

I'm having trouble with 'lmer' and would really appreciate it if anybody could help. I am trying to run generalized linear mixed effect model, and am using 'lmer', but some of the names inside the data do not show up in the summary after I compute the 'lmer'. As a close example of the data I have, the objects are Calls = MM, MB, MM, MM, MN, MNX, MNX, ... -this

Dear list, I am currently working with a rather large data set on body temperature regulation in wintering birds. My original model contains quite a few dependent variables, but I do not (of course) wish to keep them all in my final model. I've fitted the following model to the data: >

Dear R Community! We analyse the impact of climbing activity on cliff vegetation. During our fieldwork, we recorded 90 Transects in 3 climbing sites. The aim is to see, if the plant cover (response: Cover) is influenced only by crevice availability (predictor: Cracs), or, additional, by the distance to the climbing route (predictor: Distance). Six plots are nested within one Transect

Hello EVERYONE, I need an URGENT help from you please! How can I see the "estfun" (empirical estimating function) and "df" (degree of freedom) from the following mixed-model please? (fm1 <- lmer2(Reaction ~ Days + (Days|Subject), sleepstudy)) Many thanks in advance for your kind help. Sattar

Dear all, I want to estimate a crossed-random-effects model (i.e., measurements, students, schools) where students migrate between schools over time. I'm interested in the fixed effects of "SES", "age" and their interaction on "read" (reading achievement) while accounting for the sample design. Based on a previous post, I'm specifying my model as: fm1 <-

Dear r-helpers, I can run the examples on the mcsamp help page.

Hello R list, I am hoping to conduct a logistic regression with repeated measures, and would love an actual "code run through" for such an analysis. I found only one related post on this list, but a full answer was never provided. I understand that the routine lmer (or lmer2) in the lme4 package is often recommended in such a case, but actually implementing it is where I've hit a
