Dear All -- I am trying to use within a little table producing code an anova comparison of two gls fitted objects, contained in a list of such object, obtained using nlme function gls. The anova procedure fails to locate the second of the objects. The following code, borrowed from the help page of anova.gls, exemplifies: --------------- start example code --------------- library(nlme) ##

Hi, Well after trying to fix the assign commands in version 3.1.7 of your nlme package I still cannot get the plot functions to work. Basically I have no other packages installed (apart from those provided with R) so nlme is the first. my R version info is; platform sparc-sun-solaris2.7 arch sparc os solaris2.7 system sparc, solaris2.7 status

Hi there, I try to compare the mixed model package "lme" by Splus and R. I used the dataset "Ovary" and the following code assuming AR(1) model for the error term: lme(follicles ~ sin(2*pi*Time) + cos(2*pi*Time), data=Ovary, random = pdDiag(~sin(2*pi*Time) ) , correlation=corAR1() ) But I got different results! And then I used a simpler model: lme(follicles ~

Hi: The gls function I used in my code is the following fm<-gls(y~x,correlation=corARMA(p=2) ) My question is how to extact the AR(2) parameters from "fm". The object "fm" is the following. How can I extract the correlation parameters Phi1 and Phi2 from "fm"? These two parametrs is not in the "coef" componenet of "fm". Thanks a

Hi there fellow R-users, I am trying to follow an example of modelling a serial correlation structure in the textbook "Mixed Effects Model in S and Splus". However, I am getting some very odd results. Here is what I am trying to run: library(nlme) data(Ovary) fm1<-lme(follicles~sin(2*pi*Time)+cos(2*pi*Time),data=Ovary,random=pdDiag(~s in(2*pi*Time))) ### The example is fine up

Greetings R-helpers, I am attempting to fit an lme() while specifying a correlation structure, but I'm getting into trouble long before I get to that point. I am receiving the error: Error in y[revOrder] - Fitted : non-conformable arrays It doesn't seem to matter how simple or complex the model I specify is, it always gives this same error message. This makes me suspect something is

Hi, All: Is there a way to get random effects for ARMA parameters? Consider the following example from the 'corARMA' help page: fm1Ovar.lme <- lme(follicles ~ sin(2*pi*Time) + cos(2*pi*Time), data = Ovary, random = pdDiag(~sin(2*pi*Time))) fm5Ovar.lme <- update(fm1Ovar.lme, corr = corARMA(p = 1, q = 1)) fm5Ovar.lme Linear

  Hola,   Por favor, ¿podríais indicarme qué recursos (librerías o ideas) pueden resultar de utilidad para crear un gráfico del estilo del de la figura 3.8 del siguiente link?   http://www.tsc.uvigo.es/BIO/Bioing/ChrLDoc3.html#3.5   Actualmente estoy utilizando funciones muy básicas y la verdad es que no me encuentro muy satisfecha con el resultado.   Muchas gracias.   Eva [[alternative HTML

I'd like to know why I cannot get a plot and the QQnorm in the same sheet. The commands are simple but: library(nlme) glmod1 <- gls(upfmla,correlation=corAR1(),method="ML") summary(glmod1) par(mfrow = c(2,1)) plot(glmod1, main="GLS Residuals vs. GLS Fitted") qqnorm(glmod1) No matter what (I tried different permutations of the plotting commands) the second drawing

Hi all ! I'm new in this list and newbie about R I'm trying to use R scripts (as in the attached file) for creating some distributions plots of data retrieved by a workflow(with Rserve, to be precise). I was able to do it (even if not in a beatiful way, I have to improve it especially about labels and coordinates) with number inputs like :

Trying following example from Pinheiro and Bates in order to fit an ARMA(1,1) model: library(nlme) fm1Ovary.lme<-lme(follicles~sin(2*pi*Time)+cos(*pi*Time),data=Ovary,random=p dDiag(~sin(2*pi*Time))) fm5Ovary.lme<-update(fm1Ovary.lme,corr=corARMA(p=1,q=1)) I get follwing error message: Error in "coef<-.corARMA"(`*tmp*`, value = c(62.3428455941166, 62.3428517930051 :

Hi out there, I am trying to fit a species accumulation curve (increase in number of species known vs. sampling effort) for multiple regions and several bootstrap samples. The bootstrap samples represent different arrangements of the actual sample sequence. I fitted a series of nlme-models and everything seems OK, but since the observations are correlated I tried to include some correlation

There has been some recent discussion on this list about the value of using intervals with lme() to check for whether a model is ill-defined. My question is, what else can drive very large confidence intervals for the variance components (or cause the error message "Error in intervals.lme(Object) : Cannot get confidence intervals on var-cov components: Non-positive definite approximate

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

Dear List: I am estimating a gls model and am having to make some rather unconventional modifications to handle a particular problem I have identified. My aim is to fit a GLS with an AR1 structure, obtain the variance-covariance matrix (V), modify it as needed given my research problem, and then reestimate the GLS by brute force using matrix operations. All seems to be working almost perfectly,

Dear All: I updated my R program as well as associated packages yesterday. Currently my R version is 2.2.1 running under WINXP SP-2. When I tried to list (summary) an nlme object that I developed before, I got the following error message: [ Error in .C("ARMA_constCoef", as.integer(attr(object, "p")), as.integer(attr(object, : C entry point "ARMA_constCoef"

I want to compute confidence intervals for the random effect estimates for each subject. From checking on postings, this is what I cobbled together using Orthodont data.frame as an example. There was some discussion of how to properly access lmer slots and bVar, but I'm not sure I understood. Is the approach shown below correct? Rick B. # Orthodont is from nlme (can't have both nlme and

Hi Folks, I'm trying to understand the model specification formalities for 'lme', and the documentation is leaving me a bit confused. Specifically, using the example dataset 'Orthodont' in the 'nlme' package, first I use the invocation given in the example shown by "?lme": > fm1 <- lme(distance ~ age, data = Orthodont) # random is ~ age Despite the

Dear all, How can I extract the total and residual d.f. from a gnls object? I have tried str(summary(gnls.model)) and str(gnls.model) as well as gnls(), but couldn?t find the entry in the resulting lists. Many thanks! Best wishes Christoph -- Dr. rer.nat.

Hi all, To follow up on an older thread, it was suggested that the following would produce confidence intervals for the estimated BLUPs from a linear mixed effect model: OrthoFem<-Orthodont[Orthodont$Sex=="Female",] fm1OrthF. <- lmer(distance~age+(age|Subject), data=OrthoFem) fm1.s <- coef(fm1OrthF.)$Subject fm1.s.var <- fm1OrthF. at bVar$Subject fm1.s0.s <-
