Good evening, In my research I am studying the marginal models, where the main goal is on the structure of the association. My practical example has cluster with up to 600 observations and with this database, the function geese() return me the following message: This application has requested the runtime to terminate it is on unusual way. Please contact the application’s support team

Hello, I want to fit a GEE with a user-defined link function. For the user-defined link-function I still read http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp01/archive/6555.html and http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/25727.html. Only for testing purposes I added a new link function (corlogit) in make.link (as well as in binomial) with exactly the same code as logit before using my code.

Hi, I am trying to fit a ordinal GEE model using ordgee {geepack}. In order to check the validity of the function, I specified the correlation structure as independence (i.e. constr = "independence") and compared the result with that using polr {MASS}. Because a GEE model with an independent working correlation structure is equivalent to an ordinary GLM model, we would expect the same

  I am trying to used "ordgee" from "geepack" for an ordinal dataset. When I write the code it returns  "Warning message:In binomial(link) : use of binomial(link=link) is deprecated" , but the program runs. Even when I run your example for "ohio" and "respdis", it returns the same error. Please guide me [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I downloaded both gee and geepack, and I am trying to understand the differences between the two libraries. I used the same data and estimated the same model, with a correlation structure autoregressive of order 1. Surprisingly for me, I found very different results. Coefficients are slightly different in value but sometimes opposite in sign. Moreover, the estimate of rho (correlation

We are currently analyzing data on children clustered in day care-centers (DCC). We have tried to use geepack and gee libraries to estimate an overall incidence rate for absences (=number of absences/risk time) by specifying geese(number.absences ~ offset(log(risktime)), id=day.care.id, family=poisson("log"), data=dcc, corstr="exch",

I want to run a GEE for a time series of counts. The data are daily respiratory mortality counts and so there aren't any 'clusters' in the longitudinal sense. Neither the gee or geese packages work. The gee one wont run at all and the geese one produces NaNs or just runs indefinitely depending on how long the time series is. Any ideas how to make these work of any other packages that

Hi A quick question. Standard errors reported by gee/yags differs from the ones in geeglm (geepack). require(gee) require(geepack) require(yags) mm <- gee(breaks ~ tension, id=wool, data=warpbreaks, corstr="exchangeable") mm2 <- geeglm(breaks ~ tension, id=wool, data=warpbreaks, corstr="exchangeable", std.err = "san.se") mm3 <- yags(breaks ~

Dear R users, I fitted a GEE model using the function 'geese' (or 'geeglm') with user defined correlation matrix. I want to get the var-cov matrix of the regression coefficients. But the output provides only limited information. I would be very much thankful if you could kindly let me know how to get it..since I am struggling lot getting this. Thanks -- View this message in

I have included data at the bottom of this email. It can be read in by highlighting the data and then using this command: dat <- read.table("clipboard", header = TRUE,sep="\t") I can obtain solutions with both of these: library(gee) fit.gee<-gee(score ~ chem + time, id=id, family=gaussian,corstr="exchangeable",data=dat) and library(yags) fit.yags <-

Hello Everybody: I am searching for an R package for fitting Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) with weights (i.e. Weighted Estimating Equations). From the R documentation I found "geese(geepack)" for fitting Generalized Estimating Equations. In this documentation, under the paragraph “weights” it has been written, “an optional vector of weights to be used in the fitting process.

Hello, Is it possible to derive Pan's QIC (2001 Biometrics 57:120) from either a fitted gee() object in the gee package or from a geese() fit in the geepack package? If so, would anyone be kind enough to provide me with code to do so? I realize that QIC is part of the output from yags() but I would like to use one of the other functions. Thanks. Richard

Dear all, I am trying to use the GEE methodology to fit a trend for the number of butterflies observed at several sites. In total, there are 66 sites, and 19 years for which observations might be available. However, only 326 observations are available (instead of 1254). For the time being, I ignore the large number of missing values, and the fact that GEE is only valid under MCAR. When I run the

Hi there, I'm working with clustered data sets and trying to calculate log-likelihood (and/or AIC, AICc) for my models. In using the gee and geese packages one gets Wald test output; but apparently there is no no applicable method for "logLik" (log-likelihood)calculation. Is anyone aware of a way to calculate log-likelihood for GEE models? Thanks for the help, Bruce

Dear R users Recently I received advice from this fine group on gee() and sample weights One suggestion was to use geeglm() I hope someone can help me to solve a problem that arises when converting a code from gee to geeglm. *Here is a code that I wrote with the original data, not weighted: * > m1 <- gee( Bin ~ educ+agemean+ residencysize + yearx , id = rad09 , data = Males,

Behavioral science data is often collected from nested structures (students in schools, in districts, etc.). This can produce nonindependence among responses from individuals in the same groups. Consequently, researchers are advised to model the nested nature of the data to avoid biases in SE estimates. Failing to account for nonindependence can lead to SE estimates that are too large or too

Hi A.K Regarding my question on comparing normal/ obese/overweight with blood pressure change, I did finally as per the first suggestion of stacking the data and creating a normal category . This only gives me a obese not obese 14, but when I did with the wide format hoping to get a obese14,normal14,overweight 14 Vs hibp 21, i could not complete any of the models. This time I classified obese=1

Dear all, We have got data (response and predictor variables) for each country of the world; I started by fitting standard GLM and tested for spatial correlation using variogram models (geoR) fitted to the residuals of the GLM. Spatial autocorrelation is significant. Therefore, I think about using general estimation equations (geeglm or geese in geepack) allowing for residual spatial

Dear All, I would like to be able to estimate confidence intervals for a linear combination of coefficients for a GLS model. I am familiar with John Foxton's helpful paper on Time Series Regression and Generalised Least Squares (GLS) and have learnt a bit about the gls function. I have downloaded the gmodels package so I can use the estimable function. The estimable function is very
