Dear r-helpers, After successfully running require(nlme) vfr.lmL <- lmList( estimate ~ (slant + respType + visField + hand)^2 | subject, vfr ) pairs(vfr.lmL, id = 0.01, adj = -0.5) # Pinheiro & Bates (p. 141) produces the following error: Error in sprintf(gettext(fmt, domain = domain), ...) : object "form" not found Any guesses as to what I may have done wrong?

Dear r-helpers, Can anyone suggest why lm() doesn't complain here: summary(osss.lm1 <- lm(logOdds ~ c.setSize %in% task, data = osss)) whereas in package:nlme (and in package:lme4) osss.lmL <- lmList(logOdds ~ c.setSize %in% task | subj, data = osss) # Error in `contrasts<-`(`*tmp*`, value = "contr.treatment") : # contrasts can be applied only to factors with 2 or more

I'm trying to do some smoothing with lme and am having some difficulty bringing commands over from S-PLUS to R. I have the following setup (modified from Ngo and Wand, 2004): set.seed(1) x <- runif(200) y <- sin(3*pi*x) + rnorm(200)*.4 ## library(splines) z <- ns(x, 4) The following runs without error on S-PLUS f <- lme(y ~ 1, random = pdIdent(~ -1 + z)) But in R I get

Try this data(Assay) as1 <- lme(logDens~sample*dilut, data=Assay, random=pdBlocked(list( pdIdent(~1), pdIdent(~sample-1), pdIdent(~dilut-1)))) update(as1,random=pdCompSymm(~sample-1)) update(as1,random=pdCompSymm(~sample-1)) update(as1,random=pdCompSymm(~sample-1)) update(as1,random=pdCompSymm(~sample-1)) I'm

I am doing an analysis and would like to use lme() and the multcomp package to do multiple comparisons. My design is a within subjects design with three crossed fixed factors (every participant sees every combination of three fixed factors A,B,C). Of course, I can use aov() to analyze this with an error term (leaving out the obvious bits): y ~ A*B*C+Error(Subject/(A*B*C)) I'd also like

Dear all, I've got a problem in including square variables in lme and lmlist functions. I've tried to work on Oxboys data of Pinheiro and Bates'book, which consist of the heights of 26 boys, each mesured on nine different occasions : > Oxboys Grouped Data: height ~ age | Subject Subject age height Occasion 1 1 -1.0000 140.50 1 2 1 -0.7479 143.40

Dear Martin, Have you try to create a new variable for age squared, say agesq? If you fit the model using this new variable you should get the coefficients. So your new model is something like height~age+agesq I hope this helps, Saghir > -----Original Message----- > From: MARTIN Ludovic [SMTP:martinl@mathinfo.ens.univ-reims.fr] > Sent: Wednesday, 07 May, 2003 2:02 PM > To:

Dear all, I am trying to fit a model with crossed random effects using lme. In this experiment, I have been measuring oxygen consumption (mlmin) in bird nestlings, originating from three different treatments (treat), in a respirometer with 7 different channels (ch). I have also measured body mass (mass) for these birds. id nest treat year mlmin mass ch hack 1EP51711 17

Hi, all, I have a question about random effects model. I am dealing with a three-factor experiment dataset. The response variable y is modeled against three factors: Samples, Operators, and Runs. The experimental design is as follow: 4 samples were randomly chosen from a large pool of test samples. Each of the 4 samples was analyzed by 4 operators, randomly selected from a group of

Dear R users, I want to conduct a small simulation study and I have to use the lme function in a loop to save the restricted log likelihood. However, for one simulated data set the lme function gives this error Error en lme.formula(yboot ~ X[, -1], data = data.fr, random = Z.block) : nlminb problem, convergence error code = 1 message = singular convergence (7) and then, the

Dear R-helpers, i get some strange results using a linear mixed-effects model (lme), of the type: lme1 <- lme(y ~ x, random=~x|group, ...) For some datasets, i obtain very small standard deviations of the random effects. I compared these to standard deviations of the slope and intercept using a lmList approach. Of course, the SD from the lme is always smaller (shrinkage estimator), but in

I'm using R on Windows v2.0.1 with the nlme package (v3.1-53) and am finding some unexpected discrepancies in the output of intervals.lme and coef.lme. I've included a toy dataset at the end, but briefly, the data are longitudinal data from couples in marital therapy. Each spouse's relationship satisfaction is measured 4 times; I've fit both linear and quadratic models to the

I have been using lme from nlme to do a 3-way anova with all the effects treated as random. I was wondering if someone could direct me to an example of how to do this using lmer from lme4. I have 3 main effects, tim, trt, ctr, and all the interaction effects tim*trt*ctr. The response variable is ge. Here is my lme code: dat <-

Good Day, Included below is some code to generate data and to fit a mixed effects model to this fake data. The code works as expected when I call the function "lme" in Splus but not in R. The error message from calling lme in R is: "Error in getGroups.data.frame(dataMix, groups) : Invalid formula for groups" I installed the nlme package for R around 20 August

Hi, I have a data set on germination and plant growth with the following variables: dataset=fm mass (response) sub (fixed effect) moist (fixed effect) pop (fixed effect) mum (random effect nested within population) iheight (covariate) plot (random effect- whole plot factor for split-plot design). I want to see if moist or sub interacts with mum for any of the pops, but I am getting an error

Dear colleges, I would like to use the lmList function. I have installed the lme4 library but when I try to use the lmList function I get this error message. Error: could not find function "lmList" Here you can see what kind of messages I am getting when installing lme4 package. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks Rosario > install.packages() --- Please select a

Hi r-helpers! I need to save the output of summary() function that I?ve runned like this: z<- lmList(y~x1+x2| x3, na.action=na.omit,data1,subset=year==1999) w<-summary(z) The output (w) is something like this: Call: Model: y ~ x1 + x2 | x3 Data: data1 Coefficients: (Intercept) Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|) 1 0.081110514 1.141352e-01

I'd like to fit a GLM to each of a number of subsets of some data. The `family' argument to `lmList' (in lme4) has given me cause for optimism, but so far I've only been able to achieve linear model fits. For example > df <- data.frame(gp = gp.temp <- factor(rep(1:3, each = 100)), x = x.temp <- rnorm(300), y = rpois(300, exp((-1:1)[gp.temp] + x.temp))) Then a call to

Dear All, I have a problem running this program on R. Z is a matrix of spline which is random > fit<-lme(anc~X,random=pdIdent(~Z)) Error in getGroups.data.frame(dataMix, groups) : Invalid formula for groups What I have done wrong?
