Dear All, A few weeks ago I posted a question to this list but unfortunately got no answer! A friend warned me of my english. Again, the problem is: A 2-level 5-factors completely randomized design was used to investigate the potential effects of those factors on a solution's characters (several response variables). Each response-variable was measured repeatedly (13 times) during a

Hi I have data from an experiment that used a repeated-measures factorial 2x2 design (i.e. each participant contributed data to both levels of both factors). I need a non-parametric version of the repeated-measures factorial ANOVA to analyse the data. SPSS only has non-parametric tests for one-way ANOVAs but I have been told that the test I need can be implemented using the R software.

Dear All, Help is needed! I have a matrix with frequencies of fish larvae per length class (var. sl) and age-group (var. median.no) obtained with >k<-table(cut(sl,(5:22)),median.no) >k[2:5,1:5] #to ilustrate k 4 5 6 7 (6,7] 3 1 0 0 (7,8] 3 0 1 0 (8,9] 3 4 3 5 (9,10] 3 15 7 13 from this matrix I would like to obtain the mean age per length class i.e.

Dear All, I'me having (much) trouble understanding why it happened and answering a referee's comment to part of a submitted manuscript. I've tried to google for help but... I'm really confident that although this is a R-Help list someone can help me! I used R to do an ANCOVA w/ RNA/DNA as the dep var, sl as the indep var and gut (a factor w/ levels: prey and empty) as the

Dear All, I'd like to fit a "kind" of logistic model to small data-set using nonlinear least-squares regression. A transcript of R-script are reproduced below. Estimated B and T (the model's coeff, herein B=-8,50 and T=5,46) seem appropriate (at least visually) but are quite diff from those obtained w/ SPSS (Levenberg-Marquardt): B=-19,56 and T=2,37. Am I doing something wrong in

Dear All, I'm trying to calculate the following: g.rate<-(SL-int)/NO where SL and NO are individual length and counts for the same subject, and the int value is a day-specific value i.e. for each DAY=88, 101..., 172 I'd like to use a different values of int=9.32, 8.43, ..., 9.81. All variables are compiled in a larger data.frame of the form: CODE SL NO DAY (...) 123 12.5 14

Dear All, I'm a Marine Biologist using R (in a most informal and applied way) for a couple of years. Actually, I've been using R to analyse the results supporting my thesis. I would like to put together (in the same file) the data (.txt files) and the scripts files (.R files) for each chapter. How can I do this? Thanks in advance, Eduardo Esteves [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear All, I'm having trouble tweaking a forest plot made using the R meta-analysis package metafor. I did the analysis based upon the correlation coeff from studies and plotted the corresponding forest plot easily > q2<-rma(yi,vi,mods=cbind(grupo),data=qim) > q2 > forest (q2,transf=transf.ztor,digits=3, ... ,alim=c(0,1),refline=.5) > text(-1.55,42,"Esp?cie

*Thanks* all those who took the time to help me (even if the "question" was not related to - the use of - R). Now I think I can soundly make my point w/ the referee (can I use your replies? If so I intend to properly cite its use?!?). Regards, Eduardo Esteves ps - Sorry for not explaining the "biological details" of my posting: RNA/DNA is the ratio of RNA content to

Dear all, I studied in tank prey fish behavior. Using the design described below (and R code), I want to test the effects of both habitat and predator (and interaction) on prey fish's vertical distribution, which was recorded (with repeated measures) as a categorical variable. I found that package mlogit might fit to my need but I don't know how to specify my complex design in the

Dear All, I'm confortable with xyplot(...) and panel.lmline(...) statements (at least I thought I did :). I've used the following code to plot the decline in log-abundance of fish larvae (no.larvae) with age (age.cls, 4 to 27 days-old) for specific dates of sampling (day, 9 dates). I further plotted data with different colors and regression lines for ages 5-14 d and 17-23 d in a 7-by-1

Dear all, I am trying to analyze data from an experiment like this: Factors: Hormone - Levels: SH, CH (S = without; C=with; H=Hormone) Time - Levels: 19/08/09, 04/09/09, 18/09/09, 08/10/09, 20/10/09 (DD/MM/YY) Nutrition - Levels: Completa, Sem (without) Macronutrition - Levels: Ca, K, Mg, P, Sem (without) Time is the measures day. It reflect the days after germination. Blocks : 4 plants per

Hello, I am working in a longitudinal study, with a categorical variable as a dependent variable (alcohol consumption: no use, use, abuse and dependence) with repeated measures (baseline, 1 year, 2 years). Besides I have another variable with two groups: control and experimental. I would like to analyze the evolution in each group, I have though in lme, but I am not sure if I can do an lme with

Hi, I have a experiment with block, plots, sub-plots, and sub-sub-plots with repeated measures and 3 factors (factorial design) when we have been observed diameter (mm), high (cm) and leaves number (count). However, we don't have one treatment in one factor, so, my design is unbalanced. On a previous message here, a friend tell me that "It appears to me that your design is a split-split

Dear Group, At http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/tmp/summary.pdf I have put a draft of a roadmap for choosing a method for analyzing serial (longitudinal) data. If anyone has feedback about this, including adding criteria for judging methods that I may have missed, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks Frank -- Frank E Harrell Jr Professor and Chair School of Medicine

Dear readers, I have a basic question about how to use lme for my design. I haven't been able to find an example in r-help that made it clear to me how to tackle this problem and unfortunately I also cannot get hold of Pinheiro & Bates 2000. I hope someone can help. Data for the response variable "foan" were collected in: · 60 plots · plots were re-sampled yearly

Analysis of Repeated Measurements By Dr. Ronald Geskus April 27, 2007 Amsterdam, The Netherlands http://www.can.nl/events/details.php?id=31 This course is aimed at everyone who is working with data that contain repeated measurements on persons or otherwise related data and who wants to analyse such data in a proper way. In many situations one may have data that show some

I am trying to specify a mixed model for my research, but I can't quite get it to work. I've spent several weeks looking thru various online sources to no avail. I can't find an example of someone trying to do precisely what I'm trying to do. I'm hoping some smart member of this mailing list may be able to help. First off, full disclosure: (1) I'm an engineer by trade, so

Hi Group, Create some example data. set.seed(1) wide_data <- data.frame( id=c(1:10), predictor1 = sample(c("a","b"),10,replace=TRUE), predictor2 = sample(c("a","b"),10,replace=TRUE), predictor3 = sample(c("a","b"),10,replace=TRUE), measurement1=rnorm(10), measurement2=rnorm(10)) head(wide_data) id

Dear useRs is there any nonparametric test for the analysis of variance in a design with two within-factors (repeated measures on both factors)? Friedman is not appropriate here, therefore I am grateful for any alternative test. thanks for any hint cheers christoph --
