Below you will find the output from a failed multi-level model run. I am trying to estimate the following model: Pr(PLFP=1)= logistic regression -> B1_j * bm + B2_j * wm + B3_j bf + B4_j wf + B5 yrsed+ B6 age+ B7 age^2+e_ij B1_j = G01 + G11 bmxd + d1 B2_j = G02 + G12 wmxd + d2 B3_j = G03 + G13 bfxd + d3 B4_j = G04 + G14 wfxd + d4 d1-d4 freely correlated Note that there is no

After sending my first email, I tried to modify auth/auth_sam.c to allow groups of workstations to the workstations list. And, for my surprise (?!) it was quite easy. And worked fine. I use LDAP as sam backed, and for unix accounts and groups database. I create a test group "stations" and putted there into two of my workstations. Then I defined the "sambaUserWorkstations"

Dear R-help group, I would like to model directly following random effect model: Y_ik = M_ik + E_ik where M_ik ~ N(Mew_k,tau_k^2) E_ik ~ N(0,s_ik^2) i = number of study k = number of treatment --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have practiced using the command from 'Mixed -Effects models in S and S-plus'

Hi R users: Is there a function to obtain the correlation within groups from this very simple lme model? > modeloMx1 Linear mixed-effects model fit by REML Data: barrag Log-restricted-likelihood: -70.92739 Fixed: fza_tension ~ 1 (Intercept) 90.86667 Random effects: Formula: ~1 | molde (Intercept) Residual StdDev: 2.610052 2.412176 Number of Observations: 30 Number

I am trying to fit a linear mixed model of the form y_ij = X_ij \beta + delta_i + e_ij where e_ij ~N(0,s^2_ij) with s_ij known and delta_i~N(0,tau^2) I looked at the ecme routine in package:pan, but this routine does not allow for different Vi (variance covariance matrix of the e_i vector) matrices for each cluster. Is there an easy way to fit this model in R or should I bite the bullet and

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

Hi all, To follow up on an older thread, it was suggested that the following would produce confidence intervals for the estimated BLUPs from a linear mixed effect model: OrthoFem<-Orthodont[Orthodont$Sex=="Female",] fm1OrthF. <- lmer(distance~age+(age|Subject), data=OrthoFem) fm1.s <- coef(fm1OrthF.)$Subject fm1.s.var <- fm1OrthF. at bVar$Subject fm1.s0.s <-

I want to compute confidence intervals for the random effect estimates for each subject. From checking on postings, this is what I cobbled together using Orthodont data.frame as an example. There was some discussion of how to properly access lmer slots and bVar, but I'm not sure I understood. Is the approach shown below correct? Rick B. # Orthodont is from nlme (can't have both nlme and

I can ask my question using and example from Chapter 1 of Pinheiro & Bates. > # 1.4 An Analysis of Covariance Model > > OrthoFem <- Orthodont[ Orthodont$Sex == "Female", ] > fm1OrthF <- + lme( distance ~ age, data = OrthoFem, random = ~ 1 | Subject ) > summary( fm1OrthF ) Linear mixed-effects model fit by REML Data: OrthoFem AIC BIC

Hi all, I am having issues comparing models with lmer. As an example, when I run the code below the model summaries (AIC, BIC, loglik) differ between the summary() and anova() commands. Can anyone clear up what's wrong? Thank you! Darren Ward library(lme4) data(sleepstudy) fm1<-lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (1|Subject), sleepstudy) summary(fm1) fm2<-lmer(Reaction ~ Days +

How does one coerce predict.gls to incorporate the fitted correlation structure from the gls object into predictions? In the example below the AR(1) process with phi=0.545 is not used with predict.gls. Is there another function that does this? I'm going to want to fit a few dozen models varying in order from AR(1) to AR(3) and would like to look at the fits with the correlation structure

Dear R-Helpers, I was calling the TukeyHSD function and not getting confidence intervals or p-values. It turns out this was caused by missing data and the fact that I had previously turned on R Commander (Rcmdr). John Fox knew that Rcmdr sets na.action to na.exclude, which causes the problem. If you have this problem, you can either exit Rcmdr before calling TukeyHSD or you can set na.action to

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

Hello: I am trying to understand why glm() does not replicate the results in Dobson, "Introduction to Generalized Linear Models," pp. 17-20. I set up the following model. The variable CONDT is assumed as Poisson and the objective is to estimate the expected value. The data (chronic medical conditions among women in Australia) is as follows: CONDT <- c(0, 1, 1, 0, 2, 3, 0, 1,

When I try to run the example from Variogram with an lme object, I get an error (although summary works): R : Copyright 2005, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Version 2.2.1 (2005-12-20 r36812) ISBN 3-900051-07-0 ... > fm1 <- lme(weight ~ Time * Diet, BodyWeight, ~ Time | Rat) Error: couldn't find function "lme" > Variogram(fm1, form = ~ Time | Rat, nint =

Dear all, I'm curious about how to interpret the results of the following code. The first model is directly from the help page of lmer; the second is the same model but using the Gamma family with log link. The fixed effects make sense, because y = 251.40510 + 10.46729 * Days is about the same as log(y) = 5.53613298 + 0.03502057 * Days but the random effects seem quite

Dear List: I am having some trouble reproducing some GLS estimates using matrix operations that I am not having with other R procedures. Here are some sample data to see what I am doing along with all code: mu<-c(100,150,200,250) Sigma<-matrix(c(400,80,16,3.2,80,400,80,16,16,80,400,80,3.2,16,80,400),n c=4) sample.size<-100 temp <-

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 -- I am trying to use within a little table producing code an anova comparison of two gls fitted objects, contained in a list of such object, obtained using nlme function gls. The anova procedure fails to locate the second of the objects. The following code, borrowed from the help page of anova.gls, exemplifies: --------------- start example code --------------- library(nlme) ##

Hey Folks: New to R and learning as I go, but really, I know just enough to get myself into trouble. I've waded through everything up till now, and don't see anything in the search that is directly helpful for the POS that I've created. The GOAL: All I want in the world is a program that performs 1-way ANOVA's on every column in a data set (taking the first column as the
