The survival package uses a generalized cholesky decompostition throughout.? If A is a symmetric matrix A= LDL' where L is lower triangular with 1s on the diagonal, D is diagonal, and D[i,i] =0 if column i of A is redundant.? Being able to read the rank and dependencies directly off of D is very handy. The bdsmatrix package uses the same, but exposes it to the user as gchol and solve

I can't comment on frailtypack issues, but would like to mention that coxme will handle nested models, contrary to the statement below that "frailtypack is perhaps the only .... for nested survival data". To reprise the original post's model cgd.nfm <- coxme(Surv(Tstart, Tstop, Status) ~ Treatment + (1 | Center/ID), data=cgd.ag) And a note to the poster-- you should

Hi, I am running the following model: fit1.full <- coxme(Surv(age_sym1, sym1) ~ sex + lifedxm*sex + (1|famid), data=bip.surv) I would like to extract the AIC from that object to calculate the AICC. However, when I look at str(fit1.full) and summary(fit1.full) (pasted below) I don't see anything that would allow me to get pull the AIC out from that object. Is there a way to retrieve the

I've added a "backsolve" method to the bdsmatrix library. Per the Extending manual section 7.1 I've also added the following 3 lines along with my setMethod definitions for 2 classes. backsolve <- function(r, ...) UseMethod("backsolve") backsolve.default <- base:::backsolve formals(backsolve.default) <- c(formals(backsolve.default), alist(... = )) I've

Can we do Cholesky Decompositon in R for any matrix --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

R version 2.9.0 running on Centos (Red Hat linux). I have a pair of packages coxme and bdsmatrix. The latter is installed in my local library (I don't have permission for global install at work.) That is, it is in the location pointed to in R_LIBS_USER. In R, the command library(bdsmatrix) works fine. Coxme depends on bdsmatrix, in fact uses some cross-calls to it's C routines, which

I've recently updated the coxme package, which calls internal routines from the bdsmatrix package.? (It is in fact mentioned as an example of this in the Extensions manual.) The call connections are a blocks like this, one for each of the 9 called C routines. void bdsmatrix_prod4(int nrow,??? int nblock,?? int *bsize, ??????????????????? double *bmat, double *rmat, ??????????????????? int

Dear All, I have problem installing the 'kinship' package. I used the 'install.packages' from R command line and had no problem installing other packages before. Here is what I get: * Installing *source* package 'kinship' ... ** libs gcc -no-cpp-precomp -I/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/include -I/usr/local/include -fno-common -g -O2 -c agfit6b.c -o agfit6b.o

Dear all, I am using "coxme" function in Kinship library to fit random treatment effect nested within centre. I got 3 treatments (0,1,2) and 3 centres. I used following commands, but got an error. > ugroup=paste(rep(1:3,each=3),rep(0:2,3),sep='/') > mat1=bdsmatrix(rep(c(1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1),3),blocksize=rep(3,3),dimnames=list(ugroup,ugroup)) >

I'm working on the next version of coxme, one step of which is converting the bdsmatrix library from Splus to R. Actually, it is a conversion from S4 methods as first described in the Green book to S4 methods as they currently exist. Mostly it's going ok, but not entirely. 1. The biggest issue is lack of documentation. The online help pages have not been a help; they keep saying

I'm testing out a new version of coxme and R CMD check fails with "could not find function ranef" (or random.effects or fixef, or anything from nlme). The NAMESPACE file has the line below importFrom(nlme, ranef, random.effects, fixef, fixed.effects, VarCorr) and nlme is declared in the DESCRIPTION file as an import. I feel that I must be staring at some obvious (but

And remove the cast on the return value of R_GETCCallable. And check that your function is found before using it. #include <R.h> #include <Rinternals.h> #include <R_ext/Rdynload.h> void bdsmatrix_prod4(int nrow, int nblock, int *bsize, double *bmat, double *rmat, int nfrail, double *y) { DL_FUNC fun = NULL; if (fun==NULL)

The package coxme depends heavily on bdsmatrix, to the point of needing access to some of its C calls. The kinship package (in progress) uses the R level functions in bdsmatrix, but not the C calls. That is, I don't want to always export the symbols. For testing I can use an explicit dyn.load('somepath/bsdmatrix.so', local=F). How do I incorporate such a dependency in the

The gchol function in library(kinship) does an LDL decomposition. An updated version has just recently been posted on Rforge, in the bdsmatrix library which is part of survival. > temp <- matrix(c(1,1,1,1,5,8,1,8,14), 3) > gt <- gchol(temp) > as.matrix(gt) # L [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 0.00 0 [2,] 1 1.00 0 [3,] 1 1.75 1 > diag(gt) # D [1]

The coxme package has a ranef() method, as does lme4. I'm having trouble getting them to play together, as shown below. (The particular model in the example isn't defensible, but uses a standard data set.) The problem is that most of the time only one of lme4 or coxme will be loaded, so each needs to define the basic ranef function as well as a method for it. But when loaded together

The current coxme code has functions that depend on bdsmatrix and others that depend on Matrix, both those pacakges define S4 methods for diag. When loaded, the message appears: replacing previous import ?diag? when loading ?Matrix? Questions: 1. Do I need to worry about this? If so, what can I do about it? I suppose I could add an importFrom directive, but it will be a pain unless there

Where can I find out (and replicate) what options as-cran turns on? The issue: the following lines generate an error in R CMD check --as-cran? for coxme.? But there is no error without as-cran nor is there one when I run the code in a terminal window. ismat <- function(x)? inherits(x, "matrix") || inherits(x, "bdsmatrix") || inherits(x, "Matrix") if

Dear R community I currently try to get post hoc multiple comparisons with the package multcomp from a cox mixed-effects model, where the survival is explained by two variables (cover with levels: nocover and cover; treatment with levels: tx, uv, meta), whose interaction is significant. I read Hothorn, T. 2011: Additional multcomp Examples and there is an example involving a two-way ANOVA with
