Hi, I'm having some problems regarding the packages lme4 and nlme, more specifically in the denominator degrees of freedom. I used data Orthodont for the two packages. The commands used are below. require(nlme) data(Orthodont) fm1<-lme(distance~age+ Sex, data=Orthodont,random=~1|Subject, method="REML") anova(fm1) numDF DenDF F-value p-value (Intercept) 1

Dear listers, Here we have a strange result we can hardly cope with. We want to compare a null mixed model with a mixed model with one independent variable. > lmmedt1<-lme(mediane~1, random=~1|site, na.action=na.omit, data=bdd2) > lmmedt9<-lme(mediane~log(0.0001+transat), random=~1|site, na.action=na.omit, data=bdd2) Using the Akaike Criterion and selMod of the package pgirmess

Hi all I tried to reproduce an example with lme and used the Orthodont dataset. library(nlme) fm2a.1 <- lme(distance ~ age + Sex, data = Orthodont, random = ~ 1 | Subject) anova(fm2a.1) > numDF denDF F-value p-value > (Intercept) 1 80 4123.156 <.0001 > age 1 80 114.838 <.0001 > Sex 1 25 9.292 0.0054 or alternatively

Hello: Let me rephrase my question to attract interest in the problem I'm having. When I appply anova() to two equations estimated using glmmPQL, I get a complaint, > anova(fm1, fm2) Error in anova.lme(fm1, fm2) : Objects must inherit from classes "gls", "gnls" "lm","lmList", "lme","nlme","nlsList", or "nls"

Dear all, I am starting to use the lme package (and plan to teach a course based on it next semester...). To understand what lme is doing precisely, I used balanced datasets described in Pinheiro and Bates and tried to compare the lme outputs to that of aov. Here is what I obtained: > data(Machines) > summary(aov(score~Machine+Error(Worker/Machine),data=Machines)) Error: Worker

Hello: Will someone PLEASE help me with this problem. This is the third time I've posted it. When I appply anova() to two equations estimated using glmmPQL, I get a complaint, > anova(fm1, fm2) Error in anova.lme(fm1, fm2) : Objects must inherit from classes "gls", "gnls" "lm","lmList", "lme","nlme","nlsList", or

Dear All, I am writing to ask a clarification on what R, and in particular lme, is doing. I have an experiment where fly wing area was measured in 4 selection lines, measured at 18 and 25 degrees. I am using a lme model because I have three replicated per line (coded 1:12 so I need not use getGroups to creat an orederd factor). The lines are called: "18"; "25";

(A repost of this request with a bit more detail) Hi, All. I'd like to calculate effect sizes for aov or lme and seem to have a bit of a problem. partial-eta squared would be my first choice, but I'm open to suggestions. I have a completely within design with 2 conditions (condition and palette). Here is the aov version: > fit.aov <- (aov(correct ~ cond * palette +

Hello, I am trying to run a mixed effects nested ANOVA but none of my codes are giving me any meaningful results and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I am a new user on R and would appreciate some help. The experimental design is that I have some frogs that have been exposed to three acoustic Treatments and I am measuring neural activity (egr), in 12 brain regions. Some frogs also called

Dear All, I am analysing some data for a colleague (not my data, gotta be published so I cannot divulge). My response variable is the number of matings observed per day for some fruitlies. My factors are: Day: the observations were taken on 9 days Regime: 3 selection regimes Line: 3 replicates per selection regime. I have 81 observations in total The lines are coded A to I, so I do not need

My question concerns the logic behind hypothesis tests for fixed-effect terms in models fitted with lme. Suppose the levels of Subj indicate a grouping structure (k subjects) and Trt is a two-level factor (two treatments) for which there are several (n) responses y from each treatment and subject combination. If one suspects a subject by treatment interaction, either of the following models seem

Dear all, Using the data set and code below, I am interested in modelling how egg temperature (egg.temp) is related to energy expenditure (kjday) and clutch size (treat) in incubating birds using the lme-function. I wish to generate the F-distribution for my model, and have tried to do so using the anova()-function. However, in the resulting anova-table, the parameter kjday has gone from being

Hello, I ran two lme analyses and got expected results. However, I saw something suspicious regarding p-level for fixed effect. Models are the same, only experimental designs differ and, of course, subjects. I am aware that I could done nesting Subjects within Experiments, but it is expected to have much slower RT (reaction time) in the second experiment, since the task is more complex, so it

Hi I am working on a Nested one-way ANOVA. I don't know how to implement R code to test the significance of the random factor My R code so far can only test the fixed factor : anova(lme(PCB~Area,random=~1|Sites, data = PCBdata)) numDF denDF F-value p-value (Intercept) 1 12 1841.7845 <.0001 Area 1 4 4.9846 0.0894 Here is my data and my hand

Hi, sorry by this off. I'm still try to understand nested design. I have the follow example (fiction): I have 12 plots in 4 sizes in 3 replicates (4*3 = 12) In each plot I put 2 species (A and B) to reproduce. After a period I make samples in each board and count the number of individuals total (tot) and individuals A and B (nsp). Others individuals excepts A and B are in total of

Dear R-Users, Is it possible to get the covariance matrix from an lme model that did not converge ? I am doing a simulation which entails fitting linear mixed models, using a "for loop". Within each loop, i generate a new data set and analyze it using a mixed model. The loop stops When the "lme function" does not converge for a simulated dataset. I want to

Dear R-help list, I would like to perform multiple comparisons for lme. Can you report to me if my way to is correct or not? Please, note that I am not nor a statistician nor a mathematician, so, some understandings are sometimes quite hard for me. According to the previous helps on the topic in R-help list May 2003 (please, see Torsten Hothorn advices) and books such as Venables &

Hi Folks, I'm trying to understand the model specification formalities for 'lme', and the documentation is leaving me a bit confused. Specifically, using the example dataset 'Orthodont' in the 'nlme' package, first I use the invocation given in the example shown by "?lme": > fm1 <- lme(distance ~ age, data = Orthodont) # random is ~ age Despite the

Dear R-help list readers, I am fitting mixed models with the lme function of the nlme package. If I get convergence depends on how the method (ML/REM) and which (and how much) parameters will depend randomly on the cluster-variable. How get the bist fit without convergence? I set the parameters msVerbose and returnObject to TRUE: lmeControl(maxIter=50000, msMaxIter=200, tolerance=1e-4,
