Dear All, I wonder if there is a way to fit a generalized linear mixed models (for repeated binomial data) via a direct Maximum Likelihood Approach. The "glmm" in the "repeated" package (Lindsey), the "glmmPQL" in the "MASS" package (Ripley) and "glmmGIBBS" (Myle and Calyton) are not using the full maximum likelihood as I understand. The

Hi All, does anyone know if the package GLME by J. Pinheiro is available anywhere in any form? checking on the archive I got that it was at some point, as as a beta version (for S-Plus only, alas)...

Happy new month, everyone! I am planning to write a NIH grant proposal to study ways to speed Monte Carlo based maximum likelihood algorithm for hierarchical models with a focus on generalized linear mixed models (GLM with random effects). I thought it would be nice and also increase the chance of funding if I could produce an R package in the process. I understand that Prof. Pinheiro ang Bates

Hello all, I'm attempting to fit a generalized linear mixed-effects model using lmer (R v 2.6.0, lmer 0.99875-9, Mac OS X 10.4.10) using the call: vidusLMER1 <- lmer(jail ~ visit + gender + house + cokefreq + cracfreq + herofreq + borcur + comc + (1 | code), data = vidusGD, family = binomial, correlation = corCompSymm(form = 1 | ID), method = "ML") Although the model fits, the

I am analysing some binary data with a mixed effects model using glmmPQL. I am aware that I cannot use the AIC values to help me find the minimum adequate model so how do I perform likelihood ratio tests? I need to fix on the minimum adequate model but I'm not sure of the proper way to do this. Thank you very much, Elizabeth Boakes Elizabeth Boakes PhD Student Institute of Zoology

Greetings- I'm working with data that are multilevel in nature and have a dichotomous outcome variable (presence or absence of an attribute). As far as I can tell from reading archives of the R and S lists, as well as Pinheiro and Bates and Venables and Ripley, - nlme does not have the facility to do what amounts to a mixed-effects logistic regression. - The canonical alternative is

Hello I have a problem when fitting a mixed generalised linear model with the lmer-function in the Matrix package, version 0.98-7. I have a respons variable (sfox) that is 1 or 0, whether a roe deer fawn is killed or not by red fox. This is expected to be related to e.g. the density of red fox (roefoxratio) or other variables. In addition, we account for family effects by adding the mother

I'm estimating two models for data with n = 179 with four clusters (21, 70, 36, and 52) named siteid. I'm estimating a logistic regression model with random intercept and another version with random intercept and random slope for one of the independent variables. fit.1 <- lmer(glaucoma~(1|siteid)+x1 +x2,family=binomial,data=set1,method="ML",

Dear R users, I have been having problems getting believable estimates from anova on a model fit from lmer. I get the impression that F is being greatly underestimated, as can be seen by running the example I have given below. First an explanation of what I'm trying to do. I am trying to fit a glmm with binomial errors to some data. The experiment involves 10 shadehouses, divided between

Hi, Is there an R library that has the same functionalities of Splus7.0+ library correlatedData? I'd appreciate any input. Hakan Demirtas [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I have compared the potentials of R and Stata about GLMM, analysing the dataset 'ohio' in the package 'faraway' (the same dataset is analysed with GEE in the book 'Extending the linear model with R' by Julian Faraway). Basically, I've tried the 2 commands 'glmmPQL' and 'glmer' of R and the command 'xtmelogit' of Stata. If I'm not

Hi, I am trying to use glmmPQL package for Generalized linear mixed models. This package works by repeated calls to lme. lme uses by default REML method for estimation. Then, does glmmmPQL use REML too? In contrast, how can I change it? I have tried it, writing : method="REML", but the program says: invalid method REML. If somebody can answer me....thanks, Sonja

Dear R community, I have two questions regarding fitting GLMM using maximum likelihood method. The first one arises from trying repeat an analysis in the Breslow and Clayton 1993 JASA paper. Model 3 of the epileptic dataset has two random effects, one subject specific, and one observation specific. Thus if we count random effects, there are more parameters than observations. When I try to run the

Hello, ? I believe that in R, it is not possible to analyze mixed effect-models when the distribucion is not gaussian (p.e. binomial or poisson), isn't? ?

Hi, I compare results of a simple two-level poisson estimated using lmer and those estimated using MLwiN and Stata (v.9). In R, I trype: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- m2 <- lmer(.D ~ offset(log(.Y)) + (1|pcid2) + educy + agri, male, poisson) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wonder if someone has tried to implement the hierarchical generalized linear model (HGLM) approach of Lee and Nelder (JRSSB, 1996, 58: 619-56) in R. Thanks in advance.

I am analysing binomial data using a generalised mixed effects model. I understand that if I use glmmPQL it is not appropriate to compare AIC values to obtain a minimum adequate model. I am assuming that this means it is also inappropriate to use AIC values from lmer since, when analysing binomial data, lmer also uses PQL methods. However, I wasn't sure so please could somebody clarify

Dear R users, I am estimating Poisson mixed models using glmmPQL (MASS) and lmer (lme4). We know that glmmPQL do not provide the correct loglikelihood for such models (it gives the loglike of a 'pseudo' or working linear mixed model). I would like to know how the loglike is calculated by lmer. A minor question is: why do glmmPQL and lmer give different degrees-of-freedom for the same

To whom it may concern: I am using lmer for a statistical model that includes non-normally distributed data and random effects. I used this same function in the most recent version of R as of fall 2005, and have re-done some of the same analyses using all of the same files, but with the newest version of R (2.2.1). I get answers that are not exactly the same (although I do get the same
