We have released to CRAN a new version of the (recommended) package Matrix, and of package lme4 yesterday. Anyone who gets the new version of Matrix *MUST* re-install lme4 -- if (s)he is using lme4 at all. Technical details about that further below. The fact that yesterday's version number of Matrix is 0.9995875-2, indicates that Matrix' version is indeed approaching 1.0 (*), and

Hi, I'm new to R and GLMMs, and I've been unable to find the answers to my questions by trawling through the R help archives. I'm hoping someone here can help me. I'm running an analysis on Seedling survival (count data=Poisson distribution) on restoration sites, and my main interest is in determining whether the Nutrients (N) and water absorbing polymer Gel (G) additions to the

Dear Martin and Ben, I agree that a warning is a good idea (and perhaps that wasn't clear in my response to Ben's post). Also, it would be nice to correct the omission in the help file, which as far as I could see doesn't mention that a contrast-generating function (as opposed to its quoted name) can be an element of the contrasts.arg list. Best, John > -----Original

Dear list, I have another (again possibly boneheaded) puzzle about importing, again encapsulated in a nearly trivial package. (The package is posted at <http://www.math.mcmaster.ca/bolker/misc/coefsumtest_0.001.tar.gz>.) The package consists (only) of the following S3 method definitions: coeftab <- function(object, ...) UseMethod("coeftab",object) coeftab.default <-

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.

The ASAN errors occur *even if the zero-length object is not actually accessed*/is used in a perfectly correct manner, i.e. it's perfectly legal in base R to define `m <- numeric(0)` or `m <- matrix(nrow = 0, ncol = 0)`, whereas doing the equivalent in Rcpp will (now) lead to an ASAN error. i.e., these are *not* previously cryptic out-of-bounds accesses that are now being

I reproduced the crash and the giant backtrace by first installing latest lme4 and then

Dear Ben, Perhaps I'm missing the point, but contrasts.arg is documented to be a list. From ?model.matrix: "contrasts.arg: A list, whose entries are values (numeric matrices or character strings naming functions) to be used as replacement values for the contrasts replacement function and whose names are the names of columns of data containing factors." This isn't entirely

Hi all, I have installed R on SUSE 11.1 and if I tried to add some packages e.g. lme4 I got a message: ________________________________________________________________________________________ * installing *source* package ?lme4? ... ** libs gcc -std=gnu99 -I/usr/lib64/R/include -I/usr/local/include -I"/usr/lib64/R/library/Matrix/include"

Dear R users, Many of you are aware of the statistical package lme4 used in R for carrying out mixed-effects modeling. The lme4 R-Forge website [ https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/lme4/] is going to maintain a list of all dissertations and articles (accepted for publication, in press, or published) that use lme4 or its precursor, nlme. It would be helpful if members of this list could

Hello all, Using Ubuntu 9.04 and R 2.8.1. For a project I need to use the Zelig package, which in turn wants to use the lme4 package. When trying to use Zelig and it tries to its required packages I get the following error message. Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : function 'cholmod_start' not provided by package 'Matrix' Error in loadModelDeps(model) :

I am unable to install package lme4, after several attempts to do so using various repository URLs. Just to make sure everything works fine with proxy, connection, etc, I installed ggplot2 and it worked fine. I am using command install.packages("lme4", lib="/myRlibs"), optionally using contrib argument with different URLs. Error message the I get is Warning message; In

Hi all, There is a compatibility issue between the package 'lme4' and my package 'kml'. I define the "[" operator. It works just fine in my package (1). If I try to use the lme4 package, then it does no longer work (2). Moreover, it has some kind of strange behavior (3). Do you know what is wrong? Any idea of how I can correct that? Thanks for your help Christophe ---
