similar to: Plotting log transformed predicted values from lme

Thank you Michael, Curves for each level of the factor sounds very interesting, Do you have a suggestion how to plot them? Thank you!

Dear Alina If I understand you correctly you cannot just have a single predicted curve but one for each level of your factor.

Dear R-helpers, To get curves for a pseudo cohort other than the one centered at the mean of the covariates, I have been trying to use the newdata argument to survfit with no success. Here is my model statement, the newdata and the ensuing error. What am I doing wrong? > summary(fit) Call: coxph(formula = Surv(Start, Stop, Event, type = "counting") ~ Week + LagAOO + Prior.f +

Dear all, Edmond Ng (http://multilevel.ioe.ac.uk/softrev/reviewsplus.pdf) provides an example to fit the mixed effects meta-analysis in Splus 6.2. The syntax is: lme(fixed=d~wks, data=meta, random=~1|study, weights=varFixed(~Vofd), control=lmeControl(sigma=1)) where d is the effect size, study is the study number, Vofd is the variance of the effect size and meta is the data frame.

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 all, We are trying to do a meta regression in R using the lme function. The reason for doing this with lme function is that we have covariates and studies within references. In S-Plus this is possible by using the following command: lme(outcome ~ covars, random = ~1 | reference/study, weights = varFixed(~var.outcome), data = mydata, control = lmeControl(sigma = 1)) This means that the

Dear all, I have a quasipoisson glm for which I need confidence bands in a graphic: gm6 <- glm(num_leaves ~ b_dist_min_new, family = quasipoisson, data = beva) summary(gm6) library('VIM') b_dist_min_new <- as.numeric(prepare(beva$dist_min, scaling="classical", transformation="logarithm")). My first steps for the solution are following: range(b_dist_min_new)

Dear R-project team, I have a problem with the function varFixed() of the nlme-package. I used it with the squid-data of Zuur et. al 2009 (chapter 4), to fix increasing residuals (heterogenetiy) (see graph in the email) I get the message ' Variance function structure of class varFixed with no parameters, or uninitialized Could you help me please? Kind regards Franz

Hello, Any advice or pointers for implementing Sobel's test for mediation in 2-level model setting? For fitting the hierarchical models, I am using "lme4" but could also revert to "nlme" since it is a relatively simple varying intercept model and they yield identical estimates. I apologize for this is an R question with an embedded statistical question. I noticed that a

Hello, I am trying to run a logistic regression with random effects on proportional data in glmmBUGS. I am a newcomer to this package, and wondered if anyone could help me specify the model correctly. I am trying to specify the response variable, /yseed/, as # of successes out of total observations... but I suspect that given the error below, that is not correct. Also, Newsect should be a

In Venables \& Ripley 3rd edition (p. 231) the proportional odds model is described as: logit(p<=k) = zeta_k + eta but polr apparently thinks there is a minus in front of eta, as is apprent below. Is this a bug og a feature I have overlooked? Here is the naked code for reproduction, below the results. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- version

Dear useRs, I am using the gamm function in the mgcv package to model a smooth relationship between a covariate and my dependent variable, while allowing for quantification of the subjectwise variability in the smooths. What I would like to do is to make subjectwise predictions for plotting purposes which account for the random smooth components of the fit. An example. (sessionInfo() is at

Hi (R 2.13.1, OSX 10.6.8) I am trying to use predict.rma with continuous and categorical variables. The argument newmods in predict.rma seems to handle coviariates, but appears to falter on factors. While I realise that the coefficients for factors provide the answers, the goal is to eventually use predict.rma with ANCOVA type model with an interaction. Here is a self contained example

Hi there, I'm sure there's an easy answer to this, and I can't wait to see it. The question: is there an easy way to sort a data frame by it's row names? My dilemma: I've had to pull apart a data frame, run it through a loop to do some calculations and generate new variables, and then re-construct the chunks back into a data frame at the end. Doing this preserves the row

Hello, I'm analysing reaction time data from a linguistic experiment (a variant of a lexical decision task). To ascertain that the data was normally distributed, I used *shapiro.test *for each participant (see commands below), but only one out of 21 returns a p value above p.0 05. > f = function(dfr) return(shapiro.test(dfr$Target.RTinv)$p.value) > p = as.vector(by(newdat,

Hi. I was wondering if anyone might have some suggestions about how I can overcome a problem of "iteration limit reached without convergence" when fitting a mixed effects model. In this study: Outcome is a measure of heart action Age is continuous (in weeks) Gender is Male or Female (0 or 1) Genotype is Wild type or knockout (0 or 1) Animal is the Animal ID as a factor

Hi, there I'm currently trying to figure out how to keep my "factor" levels for a variable when moving it from one data frame or matrix to another. Example below: vec1<-(rep("10",5)) vec2<-(rep("30",5)) vec3<-(rep("80",5)) vecs<-c(vec1, vec2, vec3) resp<-rnorm(2,15) dat<-as.data.frame(cbind(resp, vecs))

I am having great difficulty plotting what should be a simple graph. I have measured 1 'y' and 5 'x' variables in each of two groups. Linear regression shows significant differences in the slopes of the regression for each 'x' variable between the two groups. All that I want to do is to plot one graph that shows the scatterplot for the three groups (each group represented

I am trying to get a prediction interval from a glm regression. With newdat being my set of values to be fitted, and glmreg the name of my regression, I am using the following code. predict(glmreg, newdat, se.fit = TRUE, interval = "confidence", level = 0.90) The problem is that I am only getting the standard error and the fitted value, not a prediction interval. Any help would be

Hello, Great to see the new metafor package for meta-analysis. I would like to perform a meta-analysis in which I initially calculate the intercept of the model with a nested random-effects structure. In lme, this would be model<- lme(v3~1, random=~1|species/study, weights = varFixed(~Wt), method = "REML") where multiple effects sizes are measured for some studies and more than
