similar to: NLME for Win95

Hello, I am interested in using nlme to model repeated measurements, but I don't seem to get good CIs. With the code below I tried to generate data sets according to the model given by equations (1.4) and (1.5) on pages 7 and 8 of Pinheiro and Bates 2000 (having chosen values for beta, sigma.b and sigma similar to those estimated in the text). For each data set I used lme() to fit a model,

Experts, Sorry if this is a FAQ but I''m not on this alias. Please reply directly to me. I''m working on a project setting up a web portal that will use 2 hosts for load balancing ftp''s. I wanted to use ZFS to showcase it to our customer. What I''ve been trying to setup is anonymous ftp to a host that is sharing a ZFS file system. Anonymous ftp is configured and

Hello. I am trying to fit a nonlinear mixed model involving 3 parameters. I have successfully made a self-starting function. getInitial() correctly outputs the initial estimates. I can also use the nlsList with this function to get the separate nonlinear fits by group. However, I get an error message when using the nlme function. Here is the relevent code:

Hi, I want to fit nonlinear dose-response curves, as "fun(X,a,b,c)", for each of our 5 trail locations. Our data basis is something like location plot year dose response For each location there are 4 plots as repetitions (over 3 years). So the interactions "location*year" and "location*plot" should be random effects. There are some examples in "Mixed-Effects

Dear All, Using:- R : Copyright 2005, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Version 2.1.1 (2005-06-20), ISBN 3-900051-07-0 and Jose Pinheiro, Douglas Bates, Saikat DebRoy and Deepayan Sarkar (2005). nlme: Linear and nonlinear mixed effects models. R package version 3.1-65. on a WINDOWS 2000 machine I am trying to run the scripts from the Mixed Models book and am running into some

Dear all, I try to load the nlme library for Linear and nonlinear mixed effects models by Jose Pinheiro, Douglas Bates and Saikat DebRoy but I get the following error message: > library(nls) > library(nlme) Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared library "C:\Program\R\rw1010/library/nlme/libs/nlme.dll": LoadLibrary failure: Det

Dear R-help, I am trying to set up linear mixed effects models in R using the (recommended) nlme package (R version 2.3.1 on a Linux platform). When trying to reproduce an example from Jose Pinheiro & Douglas Bates (2000, p 210) I get the following error message (code to produce message pasted as well): library("nlme") data("Orthodont") vf1Ident <- varIdent(

The Rows function which is called from plot.compareFits in the nlme package is not found. > plot(compareFits(coef(bp.model3),coef(bp.model3M))) Error in plot.compareFits(compareFits(coef(bp.model3), coef(bp.model3M))) : couldn't find function "Rows" > Can I find it elswhere? Have I missed a required package? Thanks Ross Darnell > library(help=nlme) nlme

I am trying to understand the proper way to encode the nesting structure for data in the context of nlme, in the specific case of individuals nested within species for which each individual is unique. I have searched through Pinheiro & Bates and also past postings, but without success. Take the Wafer data set which has 2 levels: Wafer (8 values) and Site nested within Wafer (10 values for

Dear forum members, What is the formula to calculate denominator degrees of freedom (den df) for nonlinear mixed-effect models with covariates? My model is similar to a CO2 uptake example from Pinheiro and Bates (2000, page 376). In this CO2 dataset, there are two treatments and two types (84 observations in total), but den df for each parameter of the model is 64. Isn’t it too high? Your

Dear R-help, I am trying to create groupedData objects using the nlme library. I'm missing something basic, I know: Here is the first example in ch.1 of Pinheiro & Bates (2000): library(nlme) x2=Rail$travel;x1=Rail$Rail;eg1=data.frame(x1,x2);eg1gd=Rail print(eg1gd) x11();print(plot(eg1gd)) femodel=lm(x2~x1-1,data=eg1gd) print(femodel$coefficients) Result: x12 x15 x11

I am working on a nlme model that has multiple fixed effects (linear and nonlinear) with a nonlinear (asymptotic) random effect. asymporig<-function(x,th1,th2)th1*(1-exp(-exp(th2)*x)) asymporigb<-function(x,th1b,th2b)th1b*(1-exp(-exp(th2b)*x)) mod.vol.nlme<-nlme(fa20~(ah*habdiv+ads*ds+ads2*ds2+at*trout)+asymporig(da.p,th1,th2)+ asymporigb(vol,th1b,th2b),

Dear Mixed Effect Friends, Somehow, R(1021, Windows) seem to run differently from S Plus: The soybean example from Pinheiro/Bates on page 290 fails in R. (Soybean1 is Soybean with the NA and "critical" case removed. Same procedure with full Soybean). > fm1Soy.lis<-nlsList(weight~SSlogis(Time,Asym,xmid,scal),data=Soybean1) > fm1Soy.nlme<-nlme(fm1Soy.lis) Error: Singularity

Hello. I am working on an analysis involving the nonlinear mixed model function (nlme) in R. The data consist of measures of carbon fixation by leaves as a function of light intensity and the parametric function (standard in this area because it has a biological interpretation) is a non-rectangular hyperbola. I cannot get the nonlinear mixed model (nlme) function to converge cleanly. I am

Tony Rossini sent me a copy of Jim's message to this list asking about nlme. I was surprised to find that I had not subscribed to this list. I thought I did but apparently not. I have now corrected that. Development of the nlme library (the name is from "nonlinear mixed-effects" but the library can also be used to fit general forms of linear mixed-effects models) is a continuing

Hallo, I have a question that is more statistic related than about nlme and R functioning. I want to fit a complicated nonlinear model with nlme with several different measures of transpiration taken on each of the 220 trees grouped in 8 families. The unknown parameters of the model are three + their variances (and covariances). I want to estimate the variances among families of the

I am getting an error message in a call to nlme and cannot understand what is happening. I explain the steps below in the hope that someone can explain the error and how to correct it. STEP 1: Data set: name: marouane.data. This is a data frame whose first few lines are as follows: > marouane.data[1:13,] species plant leaf irradiance photosynthesis chlorophyll 1

Dear All: I am trying to fit a special case of a 2-banded Toeplitz correlation structure. A 2-banded Toeplitz has ones on the diagonal, a correlation, RHO1, on the first off-diagonal, and a correlation, RHO2, on the second off-diagonal, with zeros on all subsequent off-diagonals. After reading relevant sections in Mixed-Effects Models in S and S-PLUS (Pinheiro & Bates, 2000) and searching

Hi I am running some linear and non-linear mixed effect models and would like to do some planned contrasts (a priori contrasts) I have looked in the help and in many forums and it seems possible to do so but don't understand how to write the function and I couldn't find an example in Pinheiro and Bates. lme {nlme} has a contrasts argument but I can't understand how to code it.
