Hi all, I'm having trouble with the model generating 'dredge' function in the MuMIn 'Multi-model Inference' package. Here's the script: globalmodel<- glm(TB~lat+protocol+tested+ streams+goats+hay+cattle+deer, family="binomial") chat<- deviance(globalmodel)/59 #There we 59 residual degrees of freedom in this global model. models<- dredge(globalmodel,

Hello R community, I am attempting to run multiple logistic regressions (multinomial, via package 'nnet'), with Automated Model Selection (dredge, package 'MuMIn'). The aim is to reduce the number of predictor variables by assessing relative performance of each variable, which can be done in a coarse fashion using the Automated Model Selection option in package 'MuMIn'

Hi All, I'm having trouble with the automatized model generation (dredge) function in the MuMIn package. I'm trying to use it to automatically generate subsets of models from a global cox proportional hazards model, and rank them based on AICc. These seems like it's possible, and the Mumin documentation says that coxph is supported. However, when I run the code (see below), it gives

Hello R users I'm using MuMIn but for some reason I'm not getting the adjusted confidence interval and uncoditional SE whe I use model.avg(). I took into consideration the steps provided by Grueber et al (2011) Multimodel inference in ecology and evolution: challenges and solutions in JEB. I created a global model to see if malaria prevalence (binomial distribution) is related to any

Hello, I am using package MuMIn to calculate AIC for a full model with 10 explanatory variables. Thanks in advance in sharing your experience. Q1 In the AIC list of all models, each model is differentiated by model number. Please kindly advise if it is possible to find the corresponding explanatory variable(s) for the model number. Q2 error message I tried to display sub-model with only

Hello, I hope that you can bare with me. I am new to models, but I think I have a pretty godd understanding of how to run them now, including how to use AICc and Anova. The issue is that I have many factors that I wish to compare so doing each one at a time would take forever. I came across the MuMIn package and I was so excited, however I am getting an error message and i don't know why.

Dear List, I want to ask a AIC question based on package library(MuMIn) The relative importance of 16 explanatory variables are assessed using delta AIC in a generalized linear model. Please kindly advise if it is possible to show models with any two only certain variables. Thank you. Elaine I asked a similar question and got a great help for models with only one variable as below.

The subject says it all really. Question 1. Here is some code created to illustrate my problem, can anyone spot where I'm going wrong? Question 2. The reason I'm following a manual specification of models relates to the fact that in reality I am using mgcv::gam, and I'm not aware that dredge is able to separate individual smooth terms out of say s(a,b). Hence an additional request,

Hi all, My replies within the forum aren't getting approved, though my emails always go through, so here is my reply to a question I previously posted (all questions and answers shown). Thanks, Cat I'm having trouble with the model generating 'dredge' function in the MuMIn 'Multi-model Inference' package. Here's the script: globalmodel<-

hello everyone, I'm modelling in lmer an average chick weight defined as "Total.brood.mass ~ offset(chick.number), with three fixed and two random effect. Next, I want to use function dredge from MuMIn package for model averaging. Not sure why, but in consequence the offset variable is treated as a predictor, so I get a table that mixes models with and without that offset term (the first

Hello I am not able to use the MuMIn package (version 1.7.7) for multimodel inference with a GLM Negative Binomial model (It does work when I use GLM Poisson). The GLM Negative Binomial gives the following error statement: Error in get.models(NBModel, subset = delta < 4) : object has no 'calls' attribute Here is the unsuccessful Negative Binomial code. > > BirdNegBin

Dear R users, Recent changes to the MuMIn package now means that the model averaging command (model.avg) no longer returns confidence intervals, but instead returns zvalues and corresponding pvalues for fixed effects included in models. Previously I have used this package for model selection/averaging following Greuber et al (2011) where it suggests that one should use confidence intervals from

Hi All: the package "MuMIn" can be used to select the model based on AIC or AICc. The code is as follows: data(Cement) lm1 <- lm(y ~ ., data = Cement) dd <- dredge(lm1,rank="AIC") print(dd) If I want to select the model by BIC, what code do I need to use? And when to select the best model based on AIC, what the differences between the function "dredge" in

Dear list, I am fitting a logistic multi-level regression model and need to test the difference between the ordinary logistic regression from a glm() fit and the mixed effects fit from glmer(), basically I want to do a likelihood ratio test between the two fits. The data are like this: My outcome is a (1,0) for health status, I have several (1,0) dummy variables RURAL, SMOKE, DRINK, EMPLOYED,

Hi, I have a GAM quasipoisson that I'd like to run through MuMIn package - dredge - gettop.models - model.avg However, I'm having no luck with script from an example in MuMIn help file. In MuMIn help they advise "include only models with smooth OR linear term (but not both) for each variable". Their example is: # Example with gam models (based on

Hola a todos, He realizado un dredge (para obtener todos los modelos GAM posibles a parir de un full model), luego he seleccionado un confidence set (los modelos que no se diferencian en 2 en AIC) y he hecho un model averaging con ese confidence set. Ahora me gustaría aplicar ese modelo "average" ajustado sobre otro set de datos pero no se como especificar en R que use el mismo modelo

Hi all, I would like to test the homoegeneity of variances between several linear model for some analysis of covariance. It seems that the Bartlett's test is a good test to use but I am having problem using with linear model and I cannot find any examples on the internet. There are some examples for comparisons of variances but not linear models. If I take the hellung data set, which is

Hello, I'd like to sum the weights of each independent variable across linear models that have been evaluated using AIC. For example: > library(MuMIn) > data(Cement) > lm1 <- lm(y ~ ., data = Cement) > dd <- dredge(lm1, beta = TRUE, eval = TRUE, rank = "AICc") > get.models(dd, subset = delta <4) There are 5 models with a Delta AIC Score of

Estimados amigos, Estoy familiarizándome con los modelos lineales generalizados en R. Estoy interesado en realizar un análisis lig linear y me gustaría saber cuáles son o como extraer los valores correspondientes al chi cuadrado en el análisis para cada grupo y para las interacciones. Desde ya muchas gracias y disculpas si la pregunta es muy básica, adjunto los comandos que estoy utilizando. Si
