Hi, I have a glm gives summary as follows, Estimate Std. Error z value Pr(>|z|) (Intercept) -2.03693352 1.449574526 -1.405194 0.159963578 A 0.01093048 0.006446256 1.695633 0.089955471 N 0.41060119 0.224860819 1.826024 0.067846690 S -0.20651005 0.067698863 -3.050421 0.002285206 then I use confint(k.glm)

I can't get confint.glm to work from within a function. Consider the following (using R 1.9.1, Windows 2000): # FIRST: SOMETHING THAT WORKS FROM A COMMAND PROMPT DF <- data.frame(y=.1, N=100) (fit <- glm(y~1, family=binomial, data=DF, weights=DF[,"N"])) Call: glm(formula = y ~ 1, family = binomial, data = DF, weights = DF[, "N"]) Coefficients:

the function confint uses the profiling method of the function of the package MASS confint.glm even after the package has been detached! 1: might this be the intenden behavior? 2. How does the function remember its 'MASS' functionality after detaching the package? R: 1.8.0; Windows 2000 Here is a sample program > set.seed(7882) > x<-rep(c(0,1),c(20,20)) >

I have the following binary data set: Sex Response 0 1 0 159 162 1 4 37 My commands library(MASS) sib.glm=glm(sib~sex,family=binomial,data=sib.data) summary(sib.glm) The coefficients in the output are Estimate Std. Error z value Pr(>|z|) (Intercept) -3.6826 0.5062 -7.274 3.48e-13

Hi, After installing the latest versions of lme4, Matrix, VR on a Debian Box, I have run into a problem. When I use library(lme4) on R Version 2.1.0 (2005-04-18) I get the following error message: > library(lme4) Loading required package: Matrix Error in autoloader(name = "confint", package = "MASS") : autoloader did not find 'confint' in 'MASS'

I am unable to calculate confidence intervals for the slope estimate in a quasibinomial glm using confint(). Below is the output and the package info for MASS. Thanks in advance! R 2.9.2 MASS 7.2-48 > confint(glm.palive.0.str) Waiting for profiling to be done... Error: dims [product 37] do not match the length of object [74] > glm.palive.0.str Call: glm(formula = cbind(alive, red) ~ str,

Greetings all, I was in the process of creating a function to generate profile likelihood confidence intervals for a proportion using a binomial glm. This is a component of a larger function to generate and plot confidence intervals for proportions using the above, along with bootstrap (BCa), Wilson and Exact to visually demonstrate the variation across the methods to some folks. I had initially

Dear all, I have run the confint() function according to below and I get the following error message: > confint(stepAIC.glm.spe.var.konn2.abund, level=0.95) Waiting for profiling to be done... Error: missing value where logical needed In addition: Warning message: NaNs produced in: sqrt((fm$deviance - OriginalDeviance)/DispersionParameter) or > confint(stepAIC.glm.spe.var.konn2.abund,

I need confint() for glm() to supress the messages "Waiting for profiling to be done..." because they mess up the caching mechanism of pgfSweave (see https://github.com/cameronbracken/pgfSweave/issues/40). I have read the help page of confint(), but I do not know how to get the help page for the glm() version, if any such help page exists. Is there a general way of turning of output

Dear list, I just hit an error that stopped my make && make check-devel operation on my linux box (FC3, i686 P4 2GB RAM). Just to note that I've been building the development branch(?) for some time and this is the first hint of a problem. 1) updated the src tree using svn update 2) ran ../configure --with-recommended-package=no from my build directory 3) got: R is now configured

Dear all, Is there any function for calculating confidence limits for coefficients in an lm() object? I know of the confint() function in the MASS library working very well on my binomial GLMs and I have tried it (using glm () , family=gaussian) but it gives NAs according to below. Does the confint() function not accept gaussian GLMs? Could there be convergence problems in the GLM? Note the

I'm baffled. When I run make check after installing from source, I get a Error 2. From my understanding of how these things work, it would appear to be coming from this (as at the end of base-Ex.Rout.fail: > has.VR <- require(MASS, quietly = TRUE) Attaching package 'MASS': The following object(s) are masked from package:base : confint confint.lm nclass.FD nclass.scott

Full_Name: Ben Bolker Version: 2.2.1 OS: Windows XP and 2000 Submission from: (NULL) (128.227.60.124) The following code, using confint() to try to get confidence intervals on an nls object that has been fitted with algorithm="port" reliably crashes R 2.2.0 and 2.2.1 with the latest version of MASS on a Windows 2000 and a Windows XP machine here. I *think* earlier versions of MASS

Hi there, I have been having trouble running negative binomial regression (glm.nb) using library MASS in R v2.15.0 on Mac OSX. I am running multiple models on the variables influencing the group size of damselfish in coral reefs (count data). For total group size and two of my species, glm.nb is working great to deal with overdispersion in my count data. For two of my species, I am getting a

Dear all, Last autumn there was some discussion on the list of the warning Warning message: fitted probabilities numerically 0 or 1 occurred in: (if (is.empty.model(mt)) glm.fit.null else glm.fit)(x = X, y = Y, when fitting binomial GLMs with many 0 and few 1. Parts of replies: "You should be able to tell which coefficients are infinite -- the coefficients and their standard errors will

Full_Name: Soren Feodor Nielsen Version: 2.5.0 OS: linux-gnu Submission from: (NULL) (130.225.103.21) The print-out of xtable in the following example is wrong; instead of yielding the correct ci's for the second model it repeats the ci's from the first model. require(xtable) require(MASS) data(cats) b1<-lm(Hwt~Sex,cats) b2<-lm(Hwt~Sex+Bwt,cats)

Hi, Let's say one has an object with multiple classes, and a generic function to apply to it has associated S3 methods for more than one of those classes. Further, the method it chooses (I do not know how; some order in the class vector?) is not the suitable one and it produces an error. Would there be some way to make the generic function to choice the correct method, or in case that for

Please forgive a rather na??ve question... Could someone please give a quick explanation for the differences in conf intervals achieved via confint.glm (based on profile liklihoods) and the intervals achieved using the Design library. For example, the intervals in the following two outputs are different. library(Design) x = rnorm(100) y = gl(2,50) d = data.frame(x = x, y = y) dd = datadist(d);

Full_Name: Christian Lajaunie Version: 2.5.1 OS: Fedora fc6 Submission from: (NULL) (193.251.63.39) confint() does not use the appropriate variance term when the design matrix contains a zero column (which of course should not happen). Example: A 10x2 matrix with trivial column 1: > junk <- data.frame(x=rep(0,10), u=factor(sample(c("Y", "N"), 10, replace=T))) The

Hi there, I'm interested in estimating likelihood- (or simply deviance- for GLM) based CI. I use the following code, but is there a more efficient way to do it? obj<-glm(y~x+z....) #fit the full model beta.z<-seq(a, b, length=500) #where a<coef(obj)["z"]<b out<-list() for(i in 1:500){ out[[i]]<-update(obj,.~.-z+offset(I(beta.z[i]*z)) ) } dev.z<-sapply(out,
