I am struggling to get GAM model predictions from the top models calculated using model.avg in the package "MuMIn". My model looks something like the following: gamp <- gam(log10(y)~s(x1,bs="tp",k=3)+s(x2,bs="tp",k=3)+ s(x3,bs="tp",k=3)+s(x4,bs="tp",k=3)+s(x5,bs="tp",k=3)+ s(x6,bs="tp",k=3)+x7,data=dat,

I?ve used logistic regression to create models to assess the effect of 3 variables on the presence or absence of a species, including the interaction terms between variables and model averaging using MuMI: model.avg The top models (delta<4) include several models with interaction terms and some models without; model weights are quite low for all models (<0.25). My problem is that the models

Dear R users, Recent changes to the MuMIn package now means that the model averaging command (model.avg) no longer returns confidence intervals, but instead returns zvalues and corresponding pvalues for fixed effects included in models. Previously I have used this package for model selection/averaging following Greuber et al (2011) where it suggests that one should use confidence intervals from

Hola a todos, He realizado un dredge (para obtener todos los modelos GAM posibles a parir de un full model), luego he seleccionado un confidence set (los modelos que no se diferencian en 2 en AIC) y he hecho un model averaging con ese confidence set. Ahora me gustaría aplicar ese modelo "average" ajustado sobre otro set de datos pero no se como especificar en R que use el mismo modelo

Dear R users, I am using lmer combined with AIC model selection and averaging (in the MuMIn package) to try and assess how isotope values (which indicate diet) vary within a population of animals. I have multiple measures from individuals (variable 'Tattoo') and multiple individuals within social groups within 4 locations (A, B, C ,D) crucially I am interested if there are

Hello, is it possible in R to calculate a Weighted averaging partial least squares regression? I'm not firm in statistics and didn't found anything about weighted averaging in combination with PLS in the help archives. Or is it possible to develop a workaround with the pls-package? thanks for help in advance Andreas Plank -- _____________________________________________ Dipl. Biol.

Hello R users I'm using MuMIn but for some reason I'm not getting the adjusted confidence interval and uncoditional SE whe I use model.avg(). I took into consideration the steps provided by Grueber et al (2011) Multimodel inference in ecology and evolution: challenges and solutions in JEB. I created a global model to see if malaria prevalence (binomial distribution) is related to any

Hi All: the package "MuMIn" can be used to select the model based on AIC or AICc. The code is as follows: data(Cement) lm1 <- lm(y ~ ., data = Cement) dd <- dredge(lm1,rank="AIC") print(dd) If I want to select the model by BIC, what code do I need to use? And when to select the best model based on AIC, what the differences between the function "dredge" in

Hi I am using the following script to average a set of data 0f 62 columns into 31 colums. The data consists of values of ln(0.01) or -4.60517 instead of NA's. These need to be averaged for each row (i.e 2 values being averaged). What I would I need to change for me to meet the conditions: 1. If each run of the sample has a value, the average is given 2. If only one run of the sample has a

Dear R-help and ROCR developers (Tobias Sing and Oliver Sander) - I think my first question is generic and could apply to many methods, which is why I'm directing this initially to R-help as well as Tobias and Oliver. Question 1. The plot function in ROCR will average your cross validation data if asked. I'd like to use that averaged data to find a "best" cutoff but I

Hello, I am modelling in glmmADMB count data (I´m using a negative binomial distribution to avoid possitive overdispersion) with four fixed and one random effect. I´m also using MuMIn package to calculate the AICc and also to model averaging using the function dredge. What I do not understand is why dredge calculates a different value of the AICc and degrees of freedom than the function AICc

hello everyone, I'm modelling in lmer an average chick weight defined as "Total.brood.mass ~ offset(chick.number), with three fixed and two random effect. Next, I want to use function dredge from MuMIn package for model averaging. Not sure why, but in consequence the offset variable is treated as a predictor, so I get a table that mixes models with and without that offset term (the first

I use Windows, R version 2.4.1. I have a dataset in which columns 1-3 are replicates, 4-6, are replicates, etc. I need to calculate an average for every set of replicates (columns 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, etc.) AND each set of replicates should be averaged every 14 rows (for more detail, to measure fruit color using a spectrometer, I recorded three readings per fruit -replicates- that I need to average to

Dear List, I want to ask a AIC question based on package library(MuMIn) The relative importance of 16 explanatory variables are assessed using delta AIC in a generalized linear model. Please kindly advise if it is possible to show models with any two only certain variables. Thank you. Elaine I asked a similar question and got a great help for models with only one variable as below.

*The situation (or an example at least!)* example<-data.frame(rep(letters[1:10])) colnames(example)[1]<-("Letters") example$numb1<-rnorm(10,1,1) example$numb2<-rnorm(10,1,1) example$numb3<-rnorm(10,1,1)

Hello, I am using package MuMIn to calculate AIC for a full model with 10 explanatory variables. Thanks in advance in sharing your experience. Q1 In the AIC list of all models, each model is differentiated by model number. Please kindly advise if it is possible to find the corresponding explanatory variable(s) for the model number. Q2 error message I tried to display sub-model with only

Hi, Got my issues sorted. Error message solved: I heard from the guy who developed MuMIn and his suggestion worked. "As for the error you get, it seems you are running an old version of MuMIn. Please update the package first." I did (I was only 1 version behind in both R and in MuMIn) and error disappeared! Running quasipoisson GAM in MuMIn: As for my questions on GAM and " to

Hello, I try to understand the different approaches how to select the best fit regression model. This is not about AIC, BIC, etc. It is about the difference between the steps() function (in stats package) and the dredge() function (in MuMIn) package. I see several examples on the internet. step() explore the model space with a step wise approach. And dredge() try out all possible combinations

Hello, I'd like to sum the weights of each independent variable across linear models that have been evaluated using AIC. For example: > library(MuMIn) > data(Cement) > lm1 <- lm(y ~ ., data = Cement) > dd <- dredge(lm1, beta = TRUE, eval = TRUE, rank = "AICc") > get.models(dd, subset = delta <4) There are 5 models with a Delta AIC Score of
