Dear list members, In re-running with GLMM() from the lme4 package a generalized-linear mixed model that I had previously fit with glmmPQL() from MASS, I'm getting a warning of a convergence failure, even when I set the method argument of GLMM() to "PQL": > bang.mod.1 <- glmmPQL(contraception ~ as.factor(children) + cage + urban, + random=~as.factor(children) + cage +

Hello everyone, I use Bob Muenchen's approach for reading in "in-stream" (to use SAS parlance) delimited data within a script. This works great: mystring <- "id,workshop,gender,q1,q2,q3,q4 1,1,f,1,1,5,1 2,2,f,2,1,4,1 3,1,f,2,2,4,3 4,2, ,3,1, ,3 5,1,m,4,5,2,4 6,2,m,5,4,5,5 7,1,m,5,3,4,4 8,2,m,4,5,5,5" mydata <- read.table( textConnection(mystring),

I am trying to use the LME package to run a multilevel logistic model using the following code: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------- Model1 = GLMM(WEAP ~ TSRAT2 , random = ~1 | GROUP , family = binomial, na.action = na.omit ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------

I measured nitrate concentration and primary production (PP) biweekly for 23 months in one headwater stream. I would like to use linear regression to determine if PP is related to nitrate concentration. My dataframe is called "data" and consists of the vectors Rdate, PP, and nitrate. Rdate is the observation date in class "date" and PP is primary production. I first

A while ago (April 2002) there was a short thread on software for generalized linear mixed models. Since that time, has anyone written or found R code to use a glmm to analyze binomial data? I study CWD in white-tailed deer, and I'd like to do a similar analysis as Kleinschmidt et al. (2001, Am. J. Epidemiology 153: 1213-1221) used to assess control for spatial structure in malaria

Dear All, I wonder if there is an efficient way to fit the generalized linear mixed model for multivariate outcomes. More specifically, Suppose that for a given subject i and at a given time j we observe a multivariate outcome Yij = (Y_ij1, Y_ij2, ..., Y_ijK). where Y_ijk is a binomial(n_ijk, p_ijk). One way to jointly model the data is to use the following specification: g(p_ijk) =

Hello, I have a couple questions regarding generalized linear mixed models specifically around fitting the random effects terms correctly to account for any pseudo-replication. I am reading through and trying to follow examples from Zuur et al. Mixed Effects Models and Extensions in Ecology with R, but am still at bit unsure if I am specifying the models correctly.

This is a summary and extension of the thread "GLMM (lme4) vs. glmmPQL output" http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/04/01/0180.html In the new revision (#Version: 0.4-7) of lme4 the standard errors are close to those of the 4 other methods. Thanks to Douglas Bates, Saikat DebRoy for the revision, and to G?ran Brostr?m who run a simulation. In response to my first posting, Prof.

Hi folks, I am looking for the package that will allow me to do a generalized (poisson) linear mixed model with spatial correlation structure. If gls() in nlme does this, I don't understand how to implement different families. If glmmPQL() in MASS does this, I don't understand what correlation models it accepts. It does not appear to accept the same models as gls(), but I may be doing

Hi R-users,   I intend to apply a mixed model on a set of longitudinal data, with a negative binomial distributed dependent variable, and after following the discussions on R help list I saw that more experienced people recommended using lmer (from lme4 pack), glmmPQL (from MASS) or glmm.admb (from glmmADMB pack)     My first problem: yesterday this syntax was ok, now I get this weird message (I

Hi, I am new to this list. I have a question regarding including both spatial and temporal random factors in lmer. These two are not nested, and an example of model I try to fit is model1<-lmer(Richness~Y+Canopy+Veg_cm+Treatment+(1|Site/Block/Plot)+(1|Year), family=poisson, REML=FALSE), where richness = integer Y & Treatment = factor Canopy & Veg_cm = numerical, continous

Hi, I know that Rsquare in glm or in non-linear models is "wrong", but some people like this. How I make to estimate the Rsquare from a model ajusted with glmmPQL or another GLMM?

I am trying to run a GLMM on some binomial data. My fixed factors include 2 dichotomous variables, day, and distance. When I run the model: modelA<-glmmPQL(Leaving~Trial*Day*Dist,random=~1|Indiv,family="binomial") I get the error: iteration 1 Error in MEEM(object, conLin, control$niterEM) : Singularity in backsolve at level 0, block 1 >From looking at previous help

Dear R users I would like to ask a question regarding to icc (intraclass correlation) or many biologists refer it to as repeatability. It is very useful to get icc for many reasons and it is easy to do so from linear mixed-effects models and many packages like psy, psychometric, aod and irr have functions to calculate icc. icc = between-group variance/(between-group variance + residual

Dear all, I'm working with count data following over-dispersed poisson distribution and have to work with mixed-models on them (like proc GENMOD on SAS sys.). I'm still not to sure about what function to use. It seems to me that a glmmPQL will do the job I want, but I'll be glad if people who worked on this type of data can share what they learned. Thanks for your time. simon

Hello, I'm using GLMM on the pscl package and i'm not getting the AIC on the summary. The code i'm using is (example) : mmall3 <-glmmPQL(allclues ~ cycloc + male, data=dados, family=poisson, random=~1|animal/idfid) and the results: Linear mixed-effects model fit by maximum likelihood Data: dados AIC BIC logLik NA NA NA Random effects: Formula: ~1 | animal

Hello, I would like to fit generalized linear mixed models but I did not find the package allowing such procedure. R help under nlme package gives me "glmmPQL(MASS)" but this file does not appear in contributed packages. Thanks in advance for your answer.

Dear R community, I performed a generalized linear mixed model using glmmPQL (MASS library) to analyse my data i.e : y is the response with a poisson distribution, t and Trait are the independent variables which are continuous and categorical (3 categories C, M and F) respectively, ind is the random variable. mydata<-glmmPQL(y~t+Trait,random=~1|ind,family=poisson,data=tab) Do you think it

Hello, I have a problem concerning estimation of GLMM. I used methods from 3 different packages (see program). I would expect similar results for glmm and glmmML. The result differ in the estimated standard errors, however. I compared the results to MASS, 4th ed., p. 297. The results from glmmML resemble the given result for 'Numerical integration', but glmm output differs. For the
