Using formulas constructed from strings only partially works for me in lme: library(nlme) data(Orthodont) fm2<-lme(as.formula("distance~age"),data=Orthodont,random=~1|Subject) summary(fm2) # works augPred(fm2) # fails #Error in inherits(object, "formula") : #Argument "object" is missing, with no default I assume that my use of as.formula is wrong, but

I am trying to estimate models with subsets using the NLME package. However, I am getting an error in the case below (among others): > subset <- c(rep(TRUE, 107), FALSE) > fm2 <- lme(distance ~ age + Sex, data = Orthodont, random = ~ 1, subset=subset) Error in xj[i] : invalid subscript type 'closure' > fm2 <- lme(distance ~ age + Sex, data = Orthodont, random = ~ 1,

Hi, I'm having some problems regarding the packages lme4 and nlme, more specifically in the denominator degrees of freedom. I used data Orthodont for the two packages. The commands used are below. require(nlme) data(Orthodont) fm1<-lme(distance~age+ Sex, data=Orthodont,random=~1|Subject, method="REML") anova(fm1) numDF DenDF F-value p-value (Intercept) 1

Dear friends. I tried the session below with 10 MB in both vsize and nsize but didn't get the example work. Is this a problem in LME or in me or both or somewhere else or undefined ?

Dear All, I've come across a problem in predict.lme. Assigning a model formula to a variable and then using this variable in lme (instead of typing the formula into the formula part of lme) works as expect. However, when performing a predict on the fitted model I gan an error messag - predict.lme (but not predictlm) seems to expect a 'properly' typed in formula and a cannot extract

Dear Douglas Bates. I just downloaded the compiled version (I'm a poor Windows devil, not yet having found the time to move to a more advanced platform...) from NT- the files are dated 30.5-1999 so they are not old - and the problem persisted....wonder what I did wrong ?

lme() and gls() models from the nlme package are all crashing with R.3.4.0. Identical code ran correctly, without error in R 3.3.3 and earlier versions. The behavior is easily demonstrated using one of the examples form the lme() help file, along with two simple variants. I have commented the errors generated by these calls, as well as the lines of code generating them, in the code example below.

Hi R, When I use the below to write the text file try=data.frame(rep("a",5), rep("b",5)) write.table(try,"z:\\try.txt",row.names=F,col.names=F,sep="\t") the output contains two columns with quotes! Is there a way to write without quotes? I tried try[,1]=noquote(try[,1]) try[,2]=noquote(try[,2]) Thank you, Regards, Ravi Shankar

Doug, I thought perhaps that you might be interested in the comparison of lme to the results for the same models fitted by Richard Jones' carma (I just wrote the R interface to his Fortran code). The code to run the example from the lme help and for the equivalent with carma is in the file below. The two main differences in results are 1. the random coefficients covariance matrix is quite

Dear R developers, first of all let me join the chorus of congratulations for the release of R 1.0.0. Well, done! Unfortunately, I find it necessary to e-mail in a bug report regarding the `nlme' package. On my office machine I experience the following trouble: bossiaea:/opt/R$ R CMD check -c nlme Checking package `nlme' ... Massaging examples into `nlme-Ex.R' ... Running

Dear all, I noticed the following in the call of lme using msVerbose. fm1 <- lme(distance ~ age, data = Orthodont, control = lmeControl(msVerbose=T)) 9 318.073: -0.567886 0.152479 1.98021 10 318.073: -0.567191 0.152472 1.98009 11 318.073: -0.567208 0.152473 1.98010 fm2 <- lme(distance ~ age, random =~age, data = Orthodont,

Hi everyone, I have a quick and probably easy question about lme for this list. Say, for instance you want to model growth in pituitary distance as a function of age in the Orthodont dataset. fm1 = lme(distance ~ I(age-8), random = ~ 1 + I(age-8) | Subject, data = Orthodont) You notice that there is substantial variability in the intercepts (initial distance) for people at 8 years, and that

The source to the noquote() function looks like this: noquote <- function(obj, right = FALSE) { ## constructor for a useful "minor" class if(!inherits(obj,"noquote")) class(obj) <- c(attr(obj, "class"), if(right) c(right = "noquote") else "noquote") obj } Notice what happens with right =

It is very wierd... Can some of you confirm the following behavior ? It is a new bug (feature ?) which was not yet in 0.49 ... noquote <- function(obj) { ## constructor for a useful "minor" class if(!inherits(obj,"noquote")) class(obj) <- c(class(obj),"noquote") obj } "[.noquote" <- function (x, subs) structure(unclass(x)[subs], class =

Hi, 1/ I wonder why a anova.lme on a single lme object does not print the sum of squares (as expected from the help: "a data frame with the sums of squares, numerator degrees of freedom, denominator degrees of freedom, F-values, and P-values"). Example: > fm2 <- lme(distance ~ age + Sex, data = Orthodont, random = ~ 1) > anova(fm2) numDF denDF F-value p-value

Hi all, I am having issues comparing models with lmer. As an example, when I run the code below the model summaries (AIC, BIC, loglik) differ between the summary() and anova() commands. Can anyone clear up what's wrong? Thank you! Darren Ward library(lme4) data(sleepstudy) fm1<-lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (1|Subject), sleepstudy) summary(fm1) fm2<-lmer(Reaction ~ Days +

My question concerns the logic behind hypothesis tests for fixed-effect terms in models fitted with lme. Suppose the levels of Subj indicate a grouping structure (k subjects) and Trt is a two-level factor (two treatments) for which there are several (n) responses y from each treatment and subject combination. If one suspects a subject by treatment interaction, either of the following models seem
