Hello. Im hoping someone can help with a grouping question related to the "random=" statement within the nlme function. How do you specify that some grouping levels are inner to others? I tried several things, given below. Lets say I have a data frame with five variables, resp, cov1, ran1, ran2, group1, and group 2. The formula is resp~cov1 + ran1 + ran2, where the ran are random

Dear R-list members Here goes a question on data frames: I want to create a new data frame excluding some records (rows) from an existing one. Considering the data frame "fish.dat" at the end of this message, I can make a boxplot(Ring~Radius) and identify the points at rows 11 and 25 as outliers. With the command fish.dat[c(11, 25),] I can identify which fishes are related to

Hi, I'm a total beginner in R and this question is probably very simple but I've spent hours reading about it and can't find the answer. I'm trying to reshape a data table from long to wide format. I've tried reshape() and cast() but I get error messages every time and I can't figure why. In my data, I have the length of two fish from each family. My data table (called

Hi I am struggling with nested random effects and hope someone can help. I have individuals (ID) who are nested within families (FAM). I want to model an outcome variable, and take account of the intercorrelation of individuals within each family. I think this amounts to two random effects, one nested within the other. How can I model this in R? So far I have tried using the

I have a date where the year range is more then I want to define in a select_date scaffold generated year range. My idea was to have the year entered as a text field and the month and day using something like: <%= select_month @person.born,:prefix => :person ,:field_name => "born(2i)" %> <%= select_day @person.born,:prefix => :person , :field_name =>

Hi, Asterisk database is made of <family><key> records such as: fam key1 val1 fam key2 val2 ... fam key100 val100 I'm looking for the smartest way to iterate among different keys associated to a given family. One way to do this is to parse "database show fam" response. Is there something smarter ? Something like ${DBKEYS(fam)} which would evaluate to "key1

Sorry that I was unclear. For an individual to qualify for my analysis I want both of the following two criteria to be fulfilled: First, I want to select measurement taken at a certain age: for the focal individual the year of measurement (year) should be the same as year.hatch Second, I want the focal individual to be born by a mother that reproduces for the first time. So the /parents /of

I am struggling with migrating some stata code to R. I have a data frame containing, sometimes, repeat observations (rows) of the same family. I want to keep only one observation per family, selecting that observation according to some other variable. An example data frame is: # construct example data fam <- c(1,2,3,3,4,4,4) wt <- c(1,1,0.6,0.4,0.4,0.4,0.2) keep <- c(1,1,1,0,1,0,0)

Hi everybody, I recently used xyplot, but I found that for control flow can't work in the xyplot. The program code and some of my data file are shown as follow. Would someone please tell me where my code is wrong and how can make the code right? Thanks. Best regards Yuanzhen Lin Code: library("lattice") plot.data$Fam<-as.numeric(plot.data$Fam) #### xyplot can work if one

Hello I have a problem when fitting a mixed generalised linear model with the lmer-function in the Matrix package, version 0.98-7. I have a respons variable (sfox) that is 1 or 0, whether a roe deer fawn is killed or not by red fox. This is expected to be related to e.g. the density of red fox (roefoxratio) or other variables. In addition, we account for family effects by adding the mother

Hi, I am trying to match the order of the rownames of a dataframe with the rownames of another dataframe (I can't simply sort both sets because I would have to change the order of many other connected datasets if I did that): Also, the second dataset (snp.matrix$fam) is a snp matrix slot: so for example: data_one: x y

Hello, I know that it'll be quite easy to do what I want but somehow I am lost as I am new to R. I want to get summary results arranged by groups. In detail I'd like get the number (levels) of Species per Family like for this dataset: SPEC <-

Hi, I'm having some odd problems with samba in combination with fam. On my linux system I have mounted some partitions that are shared by a Win2k machine on my LAN. With any GUI filemanager using fam I can create files and directories, but I can't delete directories, only files. If I try to delete a directory, it just doesn't work. If I try to delete a directory containing files,

Hello: I have an lme object, say lme_res2, which was generated using the varIdent. I'm trying to extract the double 1.532940 from the object, but I can't find it by attributes(lme_res2) or attributes(summary(lme_res2)). How can I pull it out (so that I can save it to another variable)? Thanks. Shin Linear mixed-effects model fit by REML Data: dat Log-restricted-likelihood:

I've been googling around for quite some time, and haven't managed to find anything useful. Is there some moderately up-to-date information on how to set up the automatic print-driver download in Samba 2.2.x? I know about the "old way" of doing things, but it doesn't seem to fly with Win2K drivers. Any and all help, and pointers to FD so I can RTFD (again, haven't had
