similar to: Getting residual term out of lmer summary table

For block effects with small variance, lmer will sometimes estimate the variance as being very close to zero and issue a warning. I don't have a problem with this -- I've explored things a bit with some simulations (see below) and conclude that this is probably inevitable when trying to incorporate random effects with not very much data (the means and medians of estimates are plausibly

This concerns whether p-values from lmer can be trusted. From simulations, it seems that lmer can produce very small, and probably spurious, p-values. I realize that lmer is not yet a finished product. Is it likely that the problem will be fixed in a future release of the lme4 package? Using simulated data for a quite standard mixed-model anova (a balanced two-way design; see code for the

Hi. I want to do an lmer model but have doubts of what family I should use. My response variable was originally a proportion, however I standarized it for each year of data collection (20 in total). After standarizing it I checked for normality with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and it turns out it is not normal. It ranges from -3 to 4. Since it is no longer a proportion I can't use a

Dear all, I have some growth curve data from an experiment that I try to fit using lm and lmer. The curves describe the growth of classification accuracy with the amount of training data t, so basically y ~ 0 + t (there is no intercept because y=0 at t0) Since the growth is somewhat nonlinear *and* in order to estimate the treatment effect on the growth curve, the final model is y ~ 0 + t +

HI, I would like to extract the variance components estimation in lme function like a.fit<-lme(distance~age, data=aaa, random=~day/subject) There should be three variances \sigma_day, \sigma_{day %in% subject } and \sigma_e. I can extract the \sigma_e using something like a.fit$var. However, I cannot manage to extract the first two variance components. I can only see the results in

I have a model: mod1<-lmer( x ~ (1|rtr)+ trth/(1|cs) , data=dtf) # Here, cs and rtr are crossed random effects. cs 1-5 are of type TRUE, cs 6-10 are of type FALSE, so cs is nested in trth, which is fixed. So for cs I should get a fit for 1-5 and 6-10. This appears to be the case from the random effects: > mean( ranef(mod1)$cs[[1]][1:5] ) [1] -2.498002e-16 > var(

Hi R experts, I have been using ReML as follows... model<-lmer(late.growth~mtf+year+treat+hatch.day+hatch.day:year+hatch.day:treat+ mtf:treat+ treat:year+ year:treat:mtf+(1|fybrood), data = A) then I wanted to plot the results of the three way interaction using lines() as follows... tmp<-as.vector(fixef(model)) graph1<-plot(mtf,fitted(f2), xlab=list("Brood Size"),

Hi R community! I've fitted three mixed-effects regression models to a thousand bootstrap samples (case-resampling regression) using the lme4 package in a custom-built for-loop. The only output I saved were the inferential statistics for my fixed and random effects. I did not save any output related to the performance to the machine learning algorithm used to fit the models (REML=FALSE).

I am using a two-factor ANOVA model with random factor effects including the interaction, i.e. the factors are crossed. I would like to be able to generate all four variance components along with approximate confidence intervals using the NLME package. However, I do not know how to specify the random option because of two problems. First, I do not know how to enter the interaction term into the

Dear all, I was wondering if anyone could help solve a problem of a missing interaction effect!! I carried out a 2 x 2 factorial experiment to see if eggs from 2 different locations (Origin = 1 or 2) had different hatching success under 2 different incubation schedules (Treat = 1 or 2). Six eggs were taken from 10 females (random = Female) at each location and split between the treatments,

Hi all, Two questions: 1. Is there a way to evaluate models from lmer() with a poisson distribution? I get the following error message: library(lme4) lmer(tot.fruit~infl.treat+def.treat+(1|initial.size),family=poisson)->model plot(fitted(model),resid(model)) Error: 'resid' is not implemented yet Are there any other options? 2. Why doesn't the function estimable() in gmodels

Hi all, I am currently doing a consistency analysis using an lmer model and trying to use parametric bootstrapping for the confidence intervals. My model is like this: model<-lmer(y~A+B+(1|C/D)+(1|E),binomial) where E is the individual level for consistency analysis, A-D are other fixed and random effects that I have to control for. Following Nakagawa and Scheilzeth I can work out the

Hello, has someone written by chance a function to extract the variance-covariance matrix from a lmer-object? I've noticed the VarCorr function, but it gives unhandy output. Regards, Roel de Jong

All, How does one extract the level-1 variance from a model fit via lmer()? In the code below the level-2 variance component may be obtained via subscripting, but what about the level-1 variance, viz., the 3.215072 term? (actually this term squared) Didn't see anything in the archives on this. Cheers, David > fm <- lmer( dv ~ time.num*drug + (1 | Patient.new), data=dat.new )

Hallo Everybody Consider the following vector a=1:10 b=20:30 c=40:50 x=c(a,b,c) I need a function that can tell me that there are three set of continuos sequences and that the first is from 1:10, the second from 20:30 and the third from 40:50. In other words: a,b, and c. regards Christiaan [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

First I would like to say thank you for taking the time to read it.Here is my problem. I am running a lmer analysis for binary longitudinal (repeated measures) data. Basically, I manipulated fruits and vegetation to two levels each(present and absent) and I am trying to access how these factors affect mice foraging behavior. The design consist of 12 plots, divided in 3 blocks. So each block

Dear all, I'm trying to store/extract the mean& standard error of the fixed effects parameter and the variance of the random effects parameter from "lmer" procedure from mlmre4 package developed by bates n pinheiro. while storing fixed effects parameter is straight forward, the same is not true for storing the variance parameter of the random effects. kindly help me ~prabhu

Hi All. I need a bit of help extracting the residual error variance from the VarCorr structure from lmer. #Here's a 2-way random effects model lmer.1 <- lmer(rating ~ (1|person)+(1|rater), data = dat) #Get the structure vc.fit <- VarCorr(lmer.1) #results in..... $person 1 x 1 Matrix of class "dpoMatrix" (Intercept) (Intercept) 0.7755392 $rater 1 x 1 Matrix

Yes, I saw that they are different I was just willing to test something similar. Actually, I'm searching for a Samba feature that allow transparent failover, or continuos availablity in a cluster setup (Samba + ctbd + gluster) Based on the following link my understanding is that such feature is not currently available in Samba:
