similar to: Package 'nlme' linear mixed effects model error "unexpected symbol"

Hi, I applied a linear mixed effect model in my data using the nlme package. lme2<-lme(distance~temperature*condition, random=~+1|trial, data) and then anova. I want to ask if it is posible to get the least squares means for the interaction effect and the corresponding 95%ci. And then plot this values. Thank you Panagiotis -- View this message in context:

Hi, I' trying to learn how to use lme for Linear Mixed Models and I have a problem when I have to include more than one random effect in my model. I know that this could be a stupid question to ask, but I'm not able to solve it by myself... One example: if my model is response = operator + block + day with operator and block as fixed effects and day as random effect, I use res.lme

Hi there, I have been trying to fit an NLME to my data. My dataset has two category levels - one is a fixed effect (level1) and one is a random effect (level2), though so far I have only experimented with the highest level grouping (fixed, level1), with the following code: mod1 <- nlme(H ~ a*(1-exp(-b*D^c)), data=sizes, fixed=a+b+c~factor(Loc), start=c(a=75,b=0.05,c=0.7)) This returns the

Hello, I am trying to fit a nonlinear model of the form of: A*x^b*exp(-c*x) This represents a lactation curve. I have a bunch of cows, so I want COW to be a random effect. I have been trying the following code with very littel success: > fm1 <- nlme(yield ~ A*(DIM^B)*(exp(-C*DIM)), + data = group, + fixed = A + B + C ~ 1, + start = c(A = 20, B =

(windows 98, R 1.2.3, ESS 5.1.18, nlme 3.1 from CRAN) Dear R users, I am trying to follow Pinheiro and Bates book ("Mixed-Effects Models in S and S-PLUS"). I downloaded the nlme package from CRAN, and unzipped all the data and help files. Unfortunately, I cannot generate the figures in the book. For instance, their appears to be no plot.design or intervals plotting functions. Have these

Do you send information about lactation curve analyse with no linear mixed model, with fixed effects (herd, year season, parity) and random effects (cow)?. Than you very much Mario Fernando [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I am analyzing a dataset on the effects of six pesticides on population growth rate of a predatory mite. The response variable is the population growth rate of the mite (ranges from negative to positive) and the exploratory variable is a categorical variable (treatment). The experiment was blocked in time (3 blocks / replicates per block) and it is unbalanced - at least 1 replicate per block. I am

I want to analyze binary, multinomial, and count outcomes (as well as the occasional continuous one) for clustered data. The more I search the less I know, and so I'm hoping the list can provide me some guidance about which of the many alternatives to choose. The nlme package seemed the obvious place to start. However, it seems to be using specifications from nls, which does non-linear

Hi, I would like to do a meta-analysis, i.e., a mixed-effects regression, but I don't seem to get what I want using both the nlme or metafor packages. My question: is there indeed no way to do it? And if so, is there another package I could use? Here are the details: In my meta-analysis I'm comparing different studies that report a measure at time zero and after a certain followup

Dear R users: I have some difficulties analizing data with mixed effects NLME and the last version of R. More concretely, I have a repeated measures design with a single group and 2 experimental factors (say A and B) and my interest is to compare additive and nonadditive models. suj rv A B 1 s1 4 a1 b1 2 s1 5 a1 b2 3 s1 7 a1 b3 4 s1 1 a2

I have a linear mixed-effects model (from the package nlme) with a random effect; Is there something like an "r squared" for the whole model which I can state? I´d like to kown: How would I do anova for a linear mixed-effects model? Lic. Florencia BonattoUniversidad Nacional de Rio Cuarto, Cordoba. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi folks I have some data to which I've been fitting linear mixed effects models. I am currently using a lme model in the nlme package, with terms for random effects due to repeated measures on individuals and the corCAR1 serial correlation structure. However, there is some suggestion in the data (and from theory) that a breakpoint (change point) model may be more appropriate. Scott, Norman

Dear R users, Does anyone knows how to run a glmm with one fixed factor and 2 random numeric variables (indices)? Is there any way to force in the model a separate interaction of those random variables with the fixed one? I hope you can help me. #eg. Reserve <- rep(c("In","Out"), 100) fReserve <- factor(Reserve) DivBoulders <- rep

I have three columns of data, Xc, Trt and fish. This was a repeated measures design with 6 measurements taken from each of 5 fish. Xc is the actual measurement, Trt is the treatment, and fish is the fish number. Data can be seen below (hopefully it is in the column format). I would like to look for differences between treatments in a repeated measures format. I used the following code

Is there an equivalent package for mixed linear effects models developed using the package "nlme" as there is for linear models?

Dear R-users, consider a 2-level linear mixed effects model (LME) with random intercept AND random slope for level 1 AND 2. Does anybody know how to calculate Intraclass-coefficient (ICC) for highest (innermost) level 2 ??? In the literature, I did not find an example for these kind of komplex models. For 1-level Random-Intercept models it would be easy: ICC = variance due to the clustering

if I do: yyy=aov(Y~A*B*C); it seems that the three way ANOVA is based on all fixed-effects. There is no way to signal to "aov" the A and B are random effects and C is fixed effect; or A is random and B and C are fixed? Moreover, I guess I will need the Expected Mean Squares in order to do the F-test, where can I obtain these Expected Mean Squares in R? And is there a command that

Hi, I have a spatial data set with many observations (~50,000) and would like to keep as much data as possible. There is spatial dependence, so I am attempting a mixed model in R with a spherical variogram defining the correlation as a function of distance between points. I have tried nlme, lme, glmmML, and glmmPQL. In all case the matrix needed (seems to be (N^2)/2 - N) is too large for my

Hello all. I was wondering if there is a way to hold constant the fixed effects correlation structure across multiple groups? For example, I have two groups and I fit a three parameter logistic growth curve where the fixed effects are free to vary across the groups. I'll paste in the code as a concrete example: > Result.NLME <- nlme(Score ~ SSlogis(Time, Asym, xmid, scal), +

Hello, I would appreciate if somebody could help me clear my mind about the below issues. I have a factorial experiment to study the effects of Grazing and Fire on Forest biomass production. The experimental unit (to which the treatment combinations are applied) are PLOTs. The measures were made repeatedly for 13 years. I am planning to use the linear mixed effect model function lme in R for this.
