Using a formula converted with as.formula with lme leads to an error message. Same works ok with lm, and with lme and a fixed formula. # demonstrates problems with lme and as.formula demo<-data.frame(x=1:20,y=(1:20)+rnorm(20),subj=as.factor(rep(1:2,10))) demo.lm1<-lme(y~x,data=demo,random=~1|subj) print(summary(demo.lm1)) newframe<-data.frame(x=1:5,subj=rep(1,5))

We have extracted parameters from physiological measurements by fitting SSlogis-like curves with nlsList and nlme. We presented residuals plot in a paper, but a referee argues that these cannot be included (too technical), and r-square values should be given instead to compare the goodness of fit with those of other authors. I remember that 30 years ago in my stat 101, I learned that r-square is

I have problem getting the concept of a nested fixed variable into the nlme scheme. I fear the question is very stupid. In the past I had asked this before, and never got a reply (in other cases, the response was within hours). I also checked the S-list, where several similar enquiries of other people are orphaned. We have a cross-over design, where patient are treated two weeks with placebo,

Dear friends of nlme, Running quinModel (Pinheiro/Bates page 380) on R (current release, windows) gives: Nonlinear mixed-effects model fit by maximum likelihood Model: conc ~ quinModel(Subject, time, conc, dose, interval, lV, lKa, lCl) Data: Quinidine Log-likelihood: -497 Fixed: lV + lKa + lCl ~ 1 lV lKa lCl 5.382 -0.273 2.470 Random effects: Formula: list(lV ~ 1, lCl ~ 1)

Dear R-Listers, to measure the psychometric curve of pitch discrimination, one sequentially presents two tones of slightly different pitch to an observer (animal will do), and asks "which is higher". The pschometric curve is the fraction of correct responses plotted against the pitch difference. It passes through 50% (pure guessing) at zero and normally approaches 100% at large

I have a two-dimensional loess fit, and need to calculate the gradient field from it. Even after looking at loess.c and loess.f, I don't understand the meaning of the returned polynomial coefficients. Or is the brute force method of using a tangential approx to the fitted values the way to go? Dieter Menne --------------------------------------- Dr. Dieter Menne Biomed Software 72074

I am confused by the logic of renaming: # Rename individual list items? Empl<-list(employee="Anna",spouse="Fred") names(Empl)<-c("empl","spo") names(Empl) #[1] "empl" "spo" # worked like a charm... but names(Empl[1])<-"newempl" # no error message, yet .... names(Empl) #[1] "empl" "spo" #

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

Dear R-supporters, I have results of lme similar to those shown in Fig. 1.21, p.51 of Pinheiro/Bates. However, In my data set, one of the panels is missing, leading to an ugly frame shift of the following panels. How can I replace one of the panels by an empty one to restore the raster?

I try to display the grouping variable in coplot. It work, but it's special solution and rather ugly. Any better idea? # Simulate my data frame data(state) x77<-data.frame(state.x77) x77$region<-state.region coplot(Life.Exp ~ Income | region, data=x77, show.given=F, subscripts=T, panel = function(x, y,subscripts, ...) { panel.smooth(x, y, span = 1., ...)

Dear R's, I have a survey where customers rank a set of 5 packages for a product, so the response variable looks like a d b c a c d b d b a c Predictors variables are 4 socio-economic parameters. I have modelled the FIRST choice of each subject as a multinomial model, similar to the housing example in MASS ch7.3, , but I would prefer to use the whole rank-set instead. Can someone give me a

Hi Dieter, Sorry my mistake. I wanted to convert them into Decimal (not Hexadecimal).

Thanks to Dieter Menne and Spencer Graves I started to get my way through lsoda() Now I need to use it in with nls() to assess parameters I have a go with a basic example dy/dt = K1*conc I try to assess the value of K1 from a simulated data set with a K1 close to 2. Here is (I think) the best code that I've done so far even though it crashes when I call nls()

Hi Dieter and R community: I tried both of these three versions with ylim as suggested, none work: I am getting only single (pch = 16) not overlayed (pch =3) everytime. *vs 1* require(lattice) xyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width | Species , data= iris, panel= function(x, y, subscripts) { panel.xyplot(x, y, pch=16, col = "green4", ylim = c(0, 10)) panel.lmline(x, y, lty=4, col =

Dear latticists, I would like to spread a lattice conditioned plot over multiple pages, keeping the same layout as if I had only one page as shown in the code below. My workaround is to divide the dataframe into subset that fit on one page, but the code is ugly. Is there a build-in way to achieve this?

Dear UseR, I do not know if this a problem with me, my data or cph/survest in package design. The example below works with a standard data set, but not with my data, but I cannot locate the problem.
