Hi all, I am having issues comparing models with lmer. As an example, when I run the code below the model summaries (AIC, BIC, loglik) differ between the summary() and anova() commands. Can anyone clear up what's wrong? Thank you! Darren Ward library(lme4) data(sleepstudy) fm1<-lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (1|Subject), sleepstudy) summary(fm1) fm2<-lmer(Reaction ~ Days +

Full_Name: Dale Barr Version: 2.5.1 (patched) OS: Ubuntu linux x86_64 Submission from: (NULL) (138.23.70.108) When RMySQL is loaded in before lme4, the summary() function for lmer objects in the lme4 packages produces the following error: Error in printMer(object) : no slot of name "status" for this object of class "table" When RMySQL is loaded AFTER lme4, however, no such

Dear all, I found a problem with 'lme4'. Basically, once you load the package 'aod' (Analysis of Overdispersed Data), the functions 'lmer' and 'glmer' don't work anymore: library(lme4) (fm1 <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (Days|Subject), sleepstudy)) (gm1 <- glmer(cbind(incidence, size - incidence) ~ period + (1 | herd), family = binomial, data

Hi, I have been having a tedious issue with lmer models with lots of factors and lots of levels. In order to get the basic information at the beginning of the print out I also have to generate these enormous tables as well. Is there a method command to leave off all of the effects and correlations? Or, do I have to go to string commands?

Hello, R community, I have been using the lmer and mcmcsamp functions in R with some difficulty. I do not believe this is my code or data, however, because my attempts to use the sample code and 'sleepstudy' data provided with the lme4 packaged (and used on several R-Wiki pages) do not return the same results as those indicated in the help pages. For instance: > sessionInfo() R

Hello EVERYONE, I need an URGENT help from you please! How can I see the "estfun" (empirical estimating function) and "df" (degree of freedom) from the following mixed-model please? (fm1 <- lmer2(Reaction ~ Days + (Days|Subject), sleepstudy)) Many thanks in advance for your kind help. Sattar

I encounter such problem with lmer under FreeBSD, but not under Windows. Anyone knows why?

Dear all, I am running a mixed model using lmer. In order to obtain CI of individual coefficients I use mcmcsamp. However, I need advice which values that are most appropriate to present in result section of a paper. I have not used mixed models and lmer so much before so my question is probably very naive. However, to avoid to much problems with journal editors and referees addicted to

Dear All, I am working with linear mixed-effects models using the lme4 package in R. I created a model with the lmer function including some main effects, a two-way interaction and a random effect. Now I am searching how I could incorporate an interaction between the random effect and one of the fixed effects. I tried to express the interaction in:

I'm sorry I haven't boiled this down to a more-minimal example yet, but ... I'm working on an S3 method (tidy.merMod, in the 'broom' package). It normally handles 'merMod' objects from the lme4 package, but I'm trying to make it handle 'merModLmerTest' objects from the lmerTest package too. The merModLmerTest class inherits (as an S4) class from the

We (the lme4 authors) are having a problem with doing a proper deep copy of a reference class object in recent versions of R-devel with the LAZY_DUPLICATE_OK flag in src/main/bind.c enabled. Apologies in advance for any improper terminology. TL;DR Is there an elegant way to force non-lazy/deep copying in our case? Is anyone else using reference classes with a field that is an external pointer?

Dear all, I try to run the example of lmer and get the following error message. > library(lme4) > example(lmer) lmer> (fm1 <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (Days | Subject), sleepstudy)) [[1]] Error in get(x, envir, mode, inherits) : variable "as.dpoMatrix" was not found This error message is similar to what I get with other models. It looks like the mer class has a slightly

Hi, I've begun to use the lme4 package, rather than nlme, for more flexibility during modelling, and running the examples in lmer I receive this error message: ---<---------------cut here---------------start-------------->--- R> (fm1 <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (Days|Subject), sleepstudy)) Error in printMer(object) : no slot of name "status" for this object of class

Dear all, I'm curious about how to interpret the results of the following code. The first model is directly from the help page of lmer; the second is the same model but using the Gamma family with log link. The fixed effects make sense, because y = 251.40510 + 10.46729 * Days is about the same as log(y) = 5.53613298 + 0.03502057 * Days but the random effects seem quite

After I save an object that contains reference class objects in some of its slots to a file and then re-load it, all.equal() seems to break for me. Is this a bug in all.equal, or is it likely caused by bad implementation of methods on my side? (I see that "'all.equal()' gains methods for 'environment's and 'refClass'es" for R 3.2.0, but that was a little while

Hello, Could somebody please tell me what am I doing wrong in following? I try extract coefficients (using arm-package) from the lmer frunction, but I get the following warning: a<-data.frame(coef(res)) Error in as.data.frame.default(x[[i]], optional = TRUE, stringsAsFactors = stringsAsFactors) : cannot coerce class "coef.mer" into a data.fram I think I have done it before

This question comes up periodically, probably enough to give it a proper thread and maybe point to this thread for reference (similar to the 'conservative anova' thread not too long ago). Moving from lme syntax, which is the function found in the nlme package, to lmer syntax (found in lme4) is not too difficult. It is probably useful to first explain what the differences are between the

Hi, Thanks for your response, it nearly worked! But it only wrote one coloumn of data and not the three columns I need. Using fixef(m1) doesnt give the same results as coef(m1) when you are using more than one random effect. I need the coefficients for each individual so I use coef(m1) to get this which results in an object of class lmer.coef, 3 columns by 700 rows. as.data.frame() wont work on
