similar to: MCMCglmm error with multinomial distribution

Hi, this seems like a strange question, but in R is there a function that can handle vectors containing factors inside lists/tuples? Or is there some other approach/functions I can use? Like for example V1 "{"Harry","Brown")" "{"Brown","Harry")" I want to use these variables in a machine learning setting, And don't want to convert

Thanks for your answers Stephen and Ben, I hope I am posting on the correct list now. I managed so far to run the multinomial model with random effect with the following command: MCMCglmm(fixed=cbind(Apsy,Mygl,Crle,Crru,Miag,empty) ~ habitat:trait,random=~idh(trait):mesh,family="multinomial12", data=dataA,rcov=~trait:units) (where multiple responses are different species, Habitat

Hi David, Thanks for your comment. I haven't posted the data because they are unpublished and include human subjects so there are issues with sharing on a list serv, but I thought perhaps someone had encountered a similar problem and would already know the answer. I will reconsider whether my University's ethics approval would allow me to post the data and update the question if I think

Hi, Thanks in advance for any help on this question. I'm running multinomial models using the MCMCglmm package. The models have 5 outcome variables (each with count data), and an additional two random effects built into the models. The issue is that when I use the following code, the summary only gives me results for four of the outcome variables. Here is the code for my model: m3.random

Dear all, I would like to add mixed effects in a multinomial model and I am trying to use MCMCglmm for that. The main problem I face: my data set consits of a trapping data set, where the observation at eah trap (1 or 0 for each species) have been aggregated per traplines. Therefore we have a proportion of presence/absence for each species per trapline. ex: ID_line mesh habitat Apsy Mygl

Any way to get access to the number of CPU's, optionally their type, from within R? In linux I can just read /proc/cpuinfo but for win/mac ? Thanks!

Hi All, The data set that I have is a cluster data, and I want to run a HLM mixed model with multi-level response. Here is my data set: response: - Level (num: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - 5 levels) Covariates: - Type (Factor: A, B, C - 3 levels) - yr (num: 2006, 2007, ...) - Male (num: 0=not Male, 1=Male - 2 levels) - Ethnicity (Factor: A, B, H, ..., - 7 levels) - ELL (num: 0, 1, - 2

Dear MCMCglmm users, I am currently struggling with the specification of a proper prior and model formula for a multi-response MCMCglmm with two of the three response variables being Gaussian and the third being za-poisson. The model includes several fixed effects and three nested random effects. In general, I would prefer to fit a model with a fixed effect of trait and suppressed intercept for

Dear Jarrod, I have a data set where residual have a heavy-tailed distribution with some extreme residual values and consequently the distribution deviates from the Gaussian one. Is it possible to include an skewed-normal density for the residual in MCMCglmm package? I have done the analysis of this data with both ASReml & MCMCglmm. The results are similar and outcome from MCMCglmm

I have a question for users of MCMCglmm that have experience implementing the zero-inflated poisson model. I find that the documentation, and previous questions, do not offer a lot of clear guidance on specifying and interpreting the zipoisson model. In particular, I see a lot of zero-inflated poisson examples that use the at.level(trait, x):variableName syntax. Specifically, the MCMCglmm

Dear R-users, I would like to fit a glmm with cross-classified random effects with the function MCMCglmm. Something along the lines: model1<-MCMCglmm(response~pred1, random=~re1+re2, data=data) where re1 and re2 should be crossed random effects. I was wondering whether you could tell me specifying cross-classified random effects in MCMCglmm requires a particular syntax? Are there any

Hi all, I am trying to run an lme4 model (logistic regression with mixed effects) in MCMCglmm but am unsure how to implement it properly. Currently, my lme4 model formula looks as follows: "outcome ~ (1 + var1 + var2 | study) + var1 + var2" In English, this means that I am fitting a random effects model, where the intercept, var1 and var2 are jointly distributed according to study.

When I try to use the following code, I get the error message shown. This is quite confusing to me, insofar as family is a recognized argument for MCMCglmm. Can anyone spot an obvious glitch? model1 <-MCMCglmm(fixed = NoRRVpos ~ Year, random = ~County, family="zipoisson", data=Rabies_Project_Init)Error in MCMCglmm(fixed = NoRRVpos ~ Year, random = ~County, family =

Hi all, I'm hoping I might be able to get some help with some issues specifying priors for MCMCglmm. I'm trying to fit a gaussian glmm using MCMCglmm to a data set with two (correlated) response variables. The response variables are both logit-transformed proportions (there are a few reasons why I've chosen these with gaussian error over binomal glmm, which I won't go into).

Dear R-Helpers, I am having troubles with installing with MCMCglmm package and I get the following error with a package "Matrix" Warning in library(pkg, character.only = TRUE, logical.return = TRUE, lib.loc = lib.loc) : there is no package called 'Matrix' Error: package 'Matrix' could not be loaded Execution halted ERROR: lazy loading failed for package

Hi R-users: Can anyone give an example of giving starting values for MCMCglmm? I can't find any anywhere. I have 1 random effect (physicians, and there are 50 of them) and family="ordinal"? How can I specify starting values for my fixed effects? It doesn't seem to have the option to do so. Thanks, Ping

Dear R users, I?d like to pose aquestion about pMCMC and HDP. I have performed a mixed logistic regression by MCMCglmm (a very good package) obtaining the following results: Iterations = 250001:799901 Thinning interval = 100 Sample size = 5500 DIC: 10.17416 G-structure: ~ID_an post.mean l-95% CI u-95% CIeff.samp ID_an 0.7023 0.0001367 3.678 2126 R-structure: ~units post.mean l-95%

Hi, my question is probably amateurish but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. In what metric are the MCMCglmm package's posterior means for family = "categorical"? I suppose that they can't be odds ratios and probabilites as my numbers are outside their bounds. So I'm thinking ? are they just basic regression coefficients conceptually equal to those obtained by
