Dear R: Am I having trouble downloading the LME4 library. I am using Windows and am using ver 1.7 I have tried the following: 1) Install package from CRAN, but LME4 is not listed 2) Downloaded LME4 from http://cran.us.r-project.org/, however, I cannot open the file when I try install from local drive. I get the following error: Error in file(file, "r") : unable to open connection

Dear list In HLM, one can specify a covariate at one of the "levels". For example, if the data structure are repeated observations nested within students nested within schools, school size might be a covariate that is used at level 3, but not at the other levels. In HLM this is rather easy to do. However, how can one specify a covariate in R for only one of the levels? I have a

Dear List: I have a data set with over 7000 students with about 4 observations over time per student. I want to examine the within-group fits of a random sample of this group as it takes forever to compute and draw all 7000 regressions. Here is the code I have used so far. >group<-groupedData(math~year|childid, data=scores) >group.list<-lmList(group)

Dear List: I am trying to find the area between two ECDFs. I am examining the gap in performance between two groups, males and females on a student achievement test in math, which is a continuous metric. I start by creating a subset of the dataframe male<-subset(datafile, female="Male") female<-subset(datafile, female="Female") I then plot the two CDFs via

I am new to R and would like to get some practice analyzing multilevel data. I wonder if anyone can point me to a sample data set and command lines that I might replicate for a sample session. I would then compare my output with HLM output. Any help is appreciated. ------ Harold C. Doran Director of Research and Evaluation New American Schools 675 N.

Dear List I have math test scores for male and female students where gender is a dummy code (female =1). I also have a variety of other demographic variables. However to begin, I want to create a very simple stripchart where female math scores are a blue circle and male scores are a red triangle. I am having difficulty using conditional statements to accomplish this. Thank you. ------

Dear List: I am having difficulties with the fitted values at different levels of a multilevel model. My data set is a series of student test scores over time with a total of 7,280 observations, 1,720 students nested witin 60 schools. The data set is not balanced. The model was fit using eg.model.1<-lme(math~year, random=~year|schoolid/childid, data=single). When I call the random

I have loaded the foreign package and am still having problems with an import. I get a message that reads, unable to open file. Whe I try different files I get the same message. Here is the code I used. Am I missing something? I am using 1.7 and have also tried this in 1.6 with the same problem. hsb<-read.spss("C:\HLM504_Student\Examples\AppendxA\HSB1.SAV", use.value.labels=TRUE,

Dear R: I am trying to fit a doubly multivariate LME (DM) where I have two response variables measured on two occasions per person. Specifically, reading and math scores measured at the beginning and ending of a school year. The response variables have a correlation of r = .85. The response variables in the data matrix are stacked in a vector with a dummy code flagging each outcome and with

Dear List: I am trying to figure out how to incorporate measurement error in an longitudinal educational data set using lme to create a "true score" model. As a by-product of the procedures used to scale educational tests, one can obtain a person-specific measurement error associated with each score, or a conditional standard error. For example, a score of 200 would have measurement

Dear listers, I can't find the variance or se of the coefficients in a multilevel model using lme. I want to calculate a Chi square test statistics for the variability of the coefficients across levels. I have a simple 2-level problem, where I want to check weather a certain covariate varies across level 2 units. Pinheiro Bates suggest just looking at the intervals or doing a rather

Hi, I have a linear mixed-effects model object and want to extract the 95% confidence intervals for the fixed and random effects, respectively. I found the function intervals() for confidence intervals for the fixed effects but no corresponding function for the random effects. Does it exist or do I have to calculate the confidence intervals for the random effects myself? Greetings, joerg

Wayne, Hello, I saw a post of yours out on samba.org and was wondering if you might be able to shed a little light on a problem I'm having with rsync. My rsync source files are all off of nfs mounts and the destination directories are all nfs mounts. The owner and groups all end up as nobody/nobody on the destination, despite being all sorts of owners and groups on the source. Have you
