Hi I'm encountering some problems with coxme My data: I'm looking at the survival of animals in an experiment with 3 treatments, which came from 4 different populations, two of which were infected with a parasite and two of which were not. I'm interested if infected animals differe from uninfected ones across treatments. Factor 1: treatment (3 levels) Factor 2: infection state

Hi all, I am using the clm function from the ordinal package to fit a cumulative logit model. If I run the regression without formatting my dependent variable (which is a factor), it works fine, however I need to change the order of the factors to be able to interpret the estimates. I have tried doing this using the relevel function and the factors are now in the correct order, but when running

Hello, I have been trying to find out whether it is possible to use more than one offset in a gam (in mgcv). The reason I would like to do this is to 1) account for area surveyed in a Poisson model of sightings of porpoises within defined grid cells (each cell has a slightly different area) and 2) account for detection probability within each grid cell (some grid cells are further away from the

Announcing the the 0.2.0 release of parasite and the camping_generator. Parasite (from the project page -- http://parasite.rubyforge.org/): Camping app developers no longer have any reason to envy their Ruby on Rails friends: Parasite brings generators, environments, and other Rails-y goodness to the world of Camping app development. Parasite is currently at version 0.2. The Parasite package is

Dear all, I have tried to calculate a GLMM fit with lmer (lme4) and glmmPQL (MASS), I also used glm for comparison. I am getting very different results from different functions, and I suspect that the problem is with our dataset rather than the functions, but I would appreciate help in deciding whether my suspicions are right. If indeed we are attempting the wrong type of analysis, some

I have a host-parasite association matrix in which parasite species are rows and host species columns and cells contain the frequency of interactions. Some parasites are associated with many hosts, and some hosts harbor several parasites, and I want to repeatedly select only one single representative host per "generalized" (multi-host) parasite to create a new matrix in which no hosts

Dear all, A am trying to fit a generalized linear mixed effects model with a binomial link function, my response data is binary, using the lme4 R package, for the glmer model but with the cauchit link function (CDF of Cauchy distribution), under the package this has not yet been coded and was wondering if anyone knew a way in which I could incorporate this link function into the code. Thankyou

Dear R users, Basically, from the following arbitrary data set: a <- data.frame(id=c(c("A1","A2","A3","A4","A5"),c("A3","A2","A3","A4","A5")),loc=c("B1","B2","B3","B4","B5"),clm=c(rep(("General"),6),rep("Life",4))) > a

Dear All, Apologies for sending this email to both list, but at this point I'm not sure which one could help me the most. I have 4 sets of data, 1 test and 3 different sets of controls. The measurements are binary, with a matrix of 0 and 1 I'm measuring across time (rows, ~815) the behaviour of organelles in the cell by microscopy in response to different stimuli (several measurements

Hi everyone, I determined the presence of three types parasites in a passerine bird over two years. I would like to create a bar chart that shows the proportion infected on the y and year/parasite on the x such that each type of parasite is grouped together (single label) and a bar for each year . This would show if there have been changes in the prevalence of a the parasite over two years.

I'm desparately looking for more ideas on how to debug what's going on with our CLVM cluster. Background: 4 node "cluster"-- machines are Dell blades with Dell M6220/M6348 switches. Sole purpose of Cluster Suite tools is to use CLVM against an iSCSI storage array. Machines are running CentOS 5.8 with the Xen kernels. These blades host various VMs for a project. The iSCSI

Hi, I am trying to fit a non-linear model for a parasite dataset. Initially, I tried log-transforming the data and conducting a 2-way ANCOVA, and found that the equal variance of populations and normality assumptions were violated. Gaba et al. (2005) suggests that the Weibull Distribution is best for highly aggregated parasite distributions, and performs better (lower type 1 and 2 error rates)

Hello all, I am hoping to use survival analysis to examine whether parasite attack increases nest death in a species of social wasp. I therefore have data for 1. Whether the nest "died" in the 6 week census period ("Status", where 1=died, 0=survived) 2. The day number of death/last recorded day it was observed alive. 3. Whether the nest was attacked by the parasite (0/1 as
