similar to: yags, GEEs, and GLMMs

Dear R-ers, I am just a simple 'end-user' of R and am trying to analyse data with a binary response variable (dead or alive) in relation to weight and sex (of young birds). As some of the birds have the same biological mother, I am using mixed models with the identity of the mother as a random factor. (please, Mick Crawley, when are you going to write a chapter on mixed models with binary

Hello R-users: I am using "yags" for fitting GEE which is giving me the same result as "Proc GENMOD". Now I have couple of questions related to yags output. (By the way, someone told me to run the geeglm for the same analysis and I did run but did not get the same result as of genmod and don't know how to correct the geeglm codes so that all three will be same!)

Here is an example given from ?yags library(methods) data(stackloss) Y1 <- yags(stack.loss~Air.Flow,id=1:21, data=stackloss) How can I access parts of the output. I tried: > str(Y1) Formal class 'yagsResult' [package "yags"] with 25 slots ..@ coefficients : num [1:2] -44.13 1.02 ..@ coefnames : chr(0) > Y1$coefnames Error in Y1$coefnames : $

Hi A quick question. Standard errors reported by gee/yags differs from the ones in geeglm (geepack). require(gee) require(geepack) require(yags) mm <- gee(breaks ~ tension, id=wool, data=warpbreaks, corstr="exchangeable") mm2 <- geeglm(breaks ~ tension, id=wool, data=warpbreaks, corstr="exchangeable", std.err = "san.se") mm3 <- yags(breaks ~

I have included data at the bottom of this email. It can be read in by highlighting the data and then using this command: dat <- read.table("clipboard", header = TRUE,sep="\t") I can obtain solutions with both of these: library(gee) fit.gee<-gee(score ~ chem + time, id=id, family=gaussian,corstr="exchangeable",data=dat) and library(yags) fit.yags <-

I have read in a file (call it myData). The actual file is about 3000x30,000 columns and object.size() says myData takes: > 737910472/(1024^2) [1] 703.7263 Unfortunately, my program ends up using 40GB as indicated by maxvmem on Unix, which causes my department's cluster to stop working. Perhaps, I have some copying going on that I cannot find. I have created an example below that mimics

Dear R users, I search the R archives and noted that the same problem has been posted but without solution. I know there IS instructions by the author of yags, but I just couldn't figured out. I know gee and geepack can also perform generalized estimating equation, but the reason why I need yags is I want to perform a Small Sample Adjustments by Michael P. Fay and Barry I. Graubard in

I'm using the package geepack to fit GEE models. Does anyone know of methods for add1 and drop1 for a 'geeglm' model object, or perhaps a method for extractAIC based on the QIC of Pan 2001? I see there has been some mention of this on R-help a few years ago (RSiteSearch("QIC")). The package does provide an anova method for its model objects, and update() seems to work:

Hi all I am analyzing a data set containing information about the behaviour of marine molluscs on a vertical wall. Since I have replicate observations on the same individuals I was thinking to use the geepack library. The data are organised in a dataframe with the following variables Date = date of sampling, Size = dimensions (mm) Activity duration of activity (min) Water = duration of

I need capabilities, for my data analysis, like the Pinheiro & Bates S-Plus/R package nlme() but with binomial family and logit link. I need multiple crossed, possibly interacting fixed effects (age cohort of twin when entered study, sex of twin, sampling method used to acquire twin pair, and twin zygosity), a couple of random effects other than the cluster variable, and the ability to

I just installed R 2.12.1, and when I went to run a few old programs with it, nothing worked. I got a ton of error messages saying such and such package was built before R 2.10.0 and needed to be reinstalled. These were not just warning messages, but error messages that prevent the programs from running when they were running just fine with R 2.10.1 For some of those packages, such as deSolve, I

Hello, Is it possible to derive Pan's QIC (2001 Biometrics 57:120) from either a fitted gee() object in the gee package or from a geese() fit in the geepack package? If so, would anyone be kind enough to provide me with code to do so? I realize that QIC is part of the output from yags() but I would like to use one of the other functions. Thanks. Richard

Hi , I use library(gee),library(geepack),library(yags) perform GEE data analysis , but all of them cannot do variable selection! Both step and stepAIC can do variable selection based on AIC criterion under linear regression and glm, but they cannot work when model is based on GEE. I want to ask whether any variable selection function or package under GEE model avaliable now? Thanks! Best,

Good morning reader, I have encountered a, probably, simple issue with respect to the *formulae* of a *regression model* I want to use in my research. I’m researching alliances as part of my study Business Economics (focus Strategy) at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. In the research model I use a moderating variable, I’m looking for confirmation or help on the formulation of the model.

Please, could someone help me figure out what seems to be a very simple problem (and is still taking me hours...). I want to draw a simple scatterplot but with 'equal' axes, i.e. I want both axes to go from -3 to 3. Values for x lie between -2 and 0.5, values for y between -2.2 and 3. I have tried 'usr' and 'eqscplot' and a few other options, but it doesn't give me the

Any hints on how to do a significance test using gee? Is the "robust z" the thing to use? There is apparently another implementation of gee called yags (http://www.biostat.harvard.edu/~carey), but I can't figure out how to install it. I think it does significance tests. -- Jonathan Baron, Professor of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania Home page:

Dear R-help, I was recently wanting to use GEE with the negative binomial "family". It seems that this is lacking in the otherwise excellent implementations of the GEE methodology ( packages: gee, yags, geepack). I would have thought it a simple step to allow the creation of a family, i.e providing the link function (log mu) and the variance function (mu + mu^2/theta) , assuming theta
