Hello, Is there a test for independence available based on a multidimensional contingency table? I've about 300 processes, and for each of them I get numbers for failures and successes. I've two or more conditions under which I test these processes. If I had just one process to test I could just perform a fisher or chisquare test on a 2x2 contigency table, like this: for one process:

Hello, I'm having some trouble figuring out the correct model specification for my data. The system consists of multiple populations of an organism, which have been genetically sampled for several years. The problem is this: A minority of individuals are found in more than one sample, either they have survived into the next sampling at the same location, or have migrated to another another

Hello, I am using glmer() from lmer(lme4) to run generalized linear mixed models. I can't figure out how to extract the z values for the fixed effects that are reported using the summary function . Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Spencer [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I am using glmer() from lmer(lme4) to run generalized linear mixed models. However, I am having a problem extracting the standard errors for the fixed effects. I have used: summary(model)$coef fixed.effects(model) coef(model) to get out the parameter estimates, but do not seem able to extract the se's. Anybody have a solution? Thanks, John

Can anyone help with this - I have been running glmer code for linear mixed models on my works pc, and am now working on my laptop (which is vista) and when I load the lme4 package i get the message below and I cannot run any models - any one have any ideas?

I would like to fit the following model: logit(p_{ij}) = \mu + a_i + b_j where a_i ~ N(0, \sigma_a^2) , b_j ~ N(0, \sigma_b^2) and \sigma_a = \sigma_b. Is it possible to fit a model with such a constraint on the variance components in glmer? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/glmer-question-tp4351829p4351829.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at

Dear all, I am running glmer() in R. How can I retrieve the estimates of fixed effects and the variance of the random effects from the result? Thank you so much.

Dear all, A am trying to fit a generalized linear mixed effects model with a binomial link function, my response data is binary, using the lme4 R package, for the glmer model but with the cauchit link function (CDF of Cauchy distribution), under the package this has not yet been coded and was wondering if anyone knew a way in which I could incorporate this link function into the code. Thankyou

dear R-users, I have to model counts where all counts above some threshold have been censored. In the same dataset I have too many zeroes for a Poisson or even a negative binomial distribution to make sense, so I would need a zero-inflated-censored negative binomial family for use in glmer (or glmmADMB?). That seems not to exist. my question is : how could I add a custom-built family of

Having briefly fallen for the notion that the negative.binomial family in MASS could be used in glmer, I want to use these lists for a sanity check on my final (?) plans. I want to use glmer for logistic regression and for poisson regression on a data set of 10,000 items. There will be two crossed random effects. For the logistic regression, I want odds ratios with confidence intervals.For the

Hello, I am fitting a gmler using poisson, and I was looking for a documentation to interpret correctly the output. I'm quite a beginner with these kind of models. I couldn't find something in the lme4 package manual. and on the internet neither...

I've searched the help archives of both lists and apologize if I missed the answer to my question: Is there an update on developing mcmcsamp for glmer? I'm using R v. 2.7.2 (on our Unix server - will hopefully be updated soon) and 2.8.1 on my PC and get the message for both: gm1 <- glmer(cbind(incidence, size - incidence) ~ period + (1 | herd),family = binomial, data = cbpp)

I've built a poisson regression model for multiple subjects by using the GLMER function. I've also developed some curves for defining its limits but I did not succeed in developing confidence interval for the model's curve (confint or predict does not work - only for glm). Does anyone know how can I produce confidence interva for a glmer model? I'll appriciate any help... Liat --

Dear R Help, I believe the glmer() function in lme4 automatically fits an unstrucruted covariance matirx for the random effects. Is that true? If so, do I have an option to somehow ask for a diagonal structured covariance matrix?

I have a mixed model with a binomial response, four factor variables and one random factor. m1=glmer(nbhf.hour~Season+Diel+Tidal.phase+Tidal.cycle+(1|POD.ID),family=binomial,data =bl1,control=list(msVerbose=TRUE)) I have really need to try and find a post hoc test for this model and finding the pariwise comparisons, note the dataset is unbalanced. I had read many questions on this and there

Dear All, I've been using mcmcsamp() successfully with a few different mixed models but I can't get it to work with the following. Is there an obvious reason why it shouldn't work with a model of this structure ? *brief summary of objective: I want to test the effect of no-fishing marine reserves on the abundance of a target species.

Dear all, I am using function glmer from package lme4 to fit a generalized linear mixed effect model.

Dear R users, I'm trying to specify a generalized linear mixed model in R, basically a Poisson model to describe monthly series of counts in different regions. My aim is to fit subject-specific curves, modelling a non-linear trend for each region through random effects for linear splines components (see Durban et al, Stat Med 2005, or " Semiparametric regression" by Ruppert et al,

Is it possible to use the step() function with a glmer() as an object? I obtain the following error message when I try to do it: "Error in x$terms : $ operator not defined for this S4 class".
