I am analysing parasite egg count data and am having trouble with glm with a negative binomial family. In my first data set, 55% of the 3000 cases have a zero count, and the non-zero counts range from 94 to 145,781. Eventually, I want to run bic.glm, so I need to be able to use glm(family= neg.bin(theta)). But first I ran glm.nb to get an estimate of theta: > hook.nb<- glm.nb(fh,

Hello to everyone. I need your help. I´m trying to fit the same *glm.nb* to a different data set and i am getting these errors in some of the data. Sometimes, one data set has two of these errors when fitting the model. 1.- Error en while ((it <- it + 1) < limit && abs(del) > eps) { : valor ausente donde TRUE/FALSE es necesario 2.- Mensajes de aviso perdidos 1: In sqrt(1/i)

Full_Name: Ben Cooper Version: 1.5.0 OS: linux Submission from: (NULL) (134.174.187.90) The help page for glm.nb (in MASS package) says that it takes "Any other arguments for the glm() function except family" One such argument is start "starting values for the parameters in the linear predictor." However, when called with starting values glm.nb returns: Error in

R 2.8.1 windows XP I am getting an error message that I don't understand when I try to run GLM. The error only occurs when I have all independent variables in the model. When I drop one independent variable, the model runs fine. Can anyone help me understand what the error means and how I can correct it? Thank you, John > fit11<-glm(AAMTCARE~BMI+BMIsq+SEX+jPHI+jMEDICAID+factor(AgeCat)+

Hi, I used the MCMCirtKd function of MCMCpack: posterior2 <- MCMCirtKd(data, dimensions = 2, + burnin = 5000, mcmc = 50000, thin = 10, + verbose = 10000, B0 = .25, store.item = TRUE, item.constraints = beta.constraints) And after apply the comand summary() I got some erros and warnings that I could not understand: summary.posterior2 <- summary(posterior2)

Hi everyone, BEGINNER question: I get the error below when running hier.part. Probably i´m doing something wrong. Error in glm.fit(x = X, y = Y, weights = weights, start = start, etastart = etastart, : object 'fit' not found In addition: Warning messages: 1: In glm.fit(x = X, y = Y, weights = weights, start = start, etastart = etastart, : no observations informative at iteration 1

I am trying to get summary statistics from WinBUGS/JAGS output in the form of mcmc.list objects, using the summary() function. However, I get odd warning messages: Warning messages: 1: In glm.fit(x = X, y = Y, weights = weights, start = start, etastart = etastart, : algorithm did not converge 2: In glm.fit(x = X, y = Y, weights = weights, start = start, etastart = etastart, : algorithm did

I got the following warning messages when I did a binomial logit regression using glm(): Warning messages: 1: Algorithm did not converge in: glm.fit(x = X, y = Y, weights = weights, start = start, etastart = etastart, 2: fitted probabilities numerically 0 or 1 occurred in: glm.fit(x = X, y = Y, weights = weights, start = start, etastart = etastart, Can some one share your thoughts on how to

hi, I applied coxph to my matrix of 300 samples and 215 variables and got the following error Error in fitter(X, Y, strats, offset, init, control, weights = weights, : NA/NaN/Inf in foreign function call (arg 6) In addition: Warning message: Ran out of iterations and did not converge in: fitter(X, Y, strats, offset, init, control, weights = weights, 26% of time data is censored and here

Hello R Users, I am having difficulty deleting the last warning message in a loop so that the only warning that is produced is that from the most recent line of code. I have tried options(warn=1), rm(last.warning), and resetting the last.warning using something like: > warning("Resetting warning message") This problem has been addressed in a previous listserve string,

Hello R users I ran more than 100 logistic regression analyses. Some of the analyses gave me this kind warning below. ########################################################### Warning messages: 1: algorithm did not converge in: glm.fit(x = X, y = Y, weights = weights, start = start, etastart = etastart, ... 2: fitted probabilities numerically 0 or 1 occurred in: glm.fit(x = X, y = Y,

Hi I can get all my features by doing this: > logistic.model = glm(similarity ~ ., family=binomial, data = cData[3001:3800,]) I can get the product of all my features by this: logistic.model = glm(similarity ~ . ^ 2, family=binomial, data = cData[3001:3800,]) I don't seem to be able to get polys by doing this: logistic.model = glm(similarity ~ poly(.,2), family=binomial, data

Hi there, I was trying to fit this dataset into LR model. This dataset includes 18 normal and 17 cancer. There are totally 14 markers (7 mRNAs and 7 Proteins). When I fitted into LR model, R gave me warning: Warning messages: 1: algorithm did not converge in: glm.fit(x = X, y = Y, weights = weights, start = start, etastart = etastart, 2: fitted probabilities numerically 0 or 1 occurred

Dear friends, I'm doing a simulation on logistic regression model, but the programs can't work well,please help me to correct it and give some suggestions.

Hi R users, Does anybody knows for the following erro after running geweke.diag(MCMC.sampled, frac1=0.1, frac2=0.5) Erro em glm.fit(x = X, y = Y, weights = weights, start = start, etastart = etastart, : la??o interno 1; n??o ?? poss??vel corrigir o tamanho do passo Al??m disso: Warning messages: 1: algoritmo n??o convergiu in: glm.fit(x = X, y = Y, weights = weights, start = start,

Dear list, >From an earlier post I got the impression that one could promote warnings from a glm to errors (presumably by putting options(warn=1)?), then try() would flag them as errors. I?ve spent half the day trying to do this, but no luck. Do you have an explicit solution? My problems is that I am trying to figure out during what conditions one may find 5 significant parameters in a

Hi, I have a script that takes a subset of genes on a microarray and tries to fit a coxph model to the expression values for each gene. This seems to work fine but in some cases it produces warnings and/or errors. For example: Error in fitter(X, Y, strats, offset, init, control, weights = weights, : NA/NaN/Inf in foreign function call (arg 6) In addition: Warning message: In fitter(X, Y,

Dear R users, I am having some problems with glm. The first is an error message "subscript out of bounds". The second is the fact that reasonable starting values are not accepted by the function. To be more specific, here is an example: > success <- c(13,12,11,14,14,11,13,11,12) > failure <- c(0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,2) > predictor <- c(0,80*5^(0:7)) >

Hello, I am trying to run the APE program COMPAR.GEE with a model containing a categorical response variable and a mixture of continuous and categorical independent variables. The model runs when I have categorical (binary) response and two continuous independent variables (VAR1 and VAR2), but when I include a categorical (binary) independent variable (VAR3), I receive the following output with
