similar to: confidence intervals for linear combinations when using lme

Dear All I am quite new to R and would appreciate some help fitting 95% confidence intervals to a nls function. I have the data DOY CET 90 5.9 91 8 92 8.4 93 7.7 95 6.6 96 6.8 97 7.1 98 9.7 99 12.3 100 12.8 102 11 103 9.3 104 9.8 105 9.9 107 7.7 110 6.2 111 5.9 112 5.9 113 3.4 114 3.5 116 3.3 117 5.4 118 6.3 119 9.7 120 11.2 121 7.3 124 7.8 etc I am trying to use some code that has been

Dear R-Users: I am trying to find the robust (or sandwich) estimates of the standard error of fixed effects parameter estimates using the package "lmer2". In model-1, I used "robust=TRUE" on the other, in model-2, I used "robust=FALSE". Both models giving me the same estimates. So my question is, does the robust option works in lmer2 to get the robust estimates of

I have data that looks like O.lengthO.age 176 1 179 1 182 1 ... 493 5 494 5 514 5 606 5 462 6 491 6 537 6 553 6 432 7 522 7 625 8 661 8 687 10 704 10 615 12 (truncated) with a simple VonB growth model from within nls(): plot(O.length~O.age, data=OS) Oto = nls(O.length~Linf*(1-exp(-k*(O.age-t0))), data=OS, start=list(Linf=1000, k=0.1, t0=0.1), trace=TRUE) mod <- seq(0, 12)

I would appreciate confirmation that the function vcov(model.nlme) gives the var-cov matrix of the fixed effects in an nlme model. Presumably the random-effects var-cov matrix is given by cov(ranef (model.nlme)? Rob Forsyth

I'm working with a nested model (mixed). I have four factors: Patients, Tissue, sex, and tissue_stage. Totally I have 10 patients, for each patient, there are 2 tissues (Cancer vs. Normal). I think Tissue and sex are fixed. Patient is nested in sex,Tissue is nested in patient, and tissue_stage is nested in Tissue. I tried aov and lme as the following, > aov(gene ~ tissue + gender +

Do I have the right impression that it's currently not possible to produce confidence intervals for the nls predictions using R? I had a course were we used SAS PROC nlin and there you could get intervals for the parameters and the prediction but I do not have access to SAS. Would it be difficult to implement, I tried to dig into the help pages of nls, vcov and nlsModel but I could not

Hi all, I''ve been trying to fit a mixed effects model and I''ve been having problems. =>My aim: to know whether states atributes, political parties and individual atributes affect the electoral results of men and women candidates. I use candidates as replications for states and for political parties. =>Response: Percentage of valid votes casted to each

Hello all, I'm trying to establish some confidence intervals on predictions I am making using >predict(nls(...)) and predict.nls (unfortunately) does not utilize the se.fit option. A little more background is that I am trying to match the output with older SAS routines to maintain consistency. Because predict.nls does not provide se's for individual predictions, I have been using a

Hi, I'm having trouble with the confidence interval of the nls function. I did my home work, and searched acros the support list until I came up with following solution of Peter Dalgaard: example(predict.nls) se.fit <- sqrt(apply(attr(predict(fm,list(Time = tt)),"gradient"),1, function(x) sum(vcov(fm)*outer(x,x)))) matplot(tt,

Hello all, My statistical analysis training up until this point has been entirely done in SAS. The code I frequently used was: *Yield Champagin; data yield; set stress; if field='YV' then delete; if field='HB' then delete; if barcode='16187DD4015' then delete; if barcode='16187DD6002' then delete; if barcode='16187DD2007' then delete; if

for unweighted fits using `nls' I compute confidence intervals for the fitted model function by using: #------------------- se.fit <- sqrt(apply(rr$m$gradient(), 1, function(x) sum(vcov(rr)*outer(x,x)))) luconf <- yfit + outer(se.fit, qnorm(c(probex, 1 - probex))) #------------------- where `rr' contains an `nls' object, `x' is the independent variable vector, `yfit'

I am trying to use lme to fit a mixed effects model to get the same results as when using the following SAS code: proc mixed; class refseqid probeid probeno end; model expression=end logpgc / ddfm=satterth; random probeno probeid / subject=refseqid type=cs; lsmeans end / diff cl; run; There are 3 genes (refseqid) which is the large grouping factor, with 2 probeids nested within each refseqid,

Dear R-Help members, I am using Simon Wood`s mgcv package version1.7-22and R version 3.0.0 (2013-04-03) for fitting a GAM-Model to the LIDAR Data contained in the "SemiPar" package. Here is the code for fitting the model and for plotting the result: data("lidar") attach(lidar) ### # mgcv fitting ### gam_fit <- gam(logratio ~ s(range, k = 40, bs = "cr"), gamma

Dear list, As a reply to my recent mail: > simint and TukeyHSD work for aov objects. > Can someone point me to similar functions for lme objects? Douglas Bates wrote There aren't multiple comparison methods for lme objects because it is not clear how to do multiple comparisons for these. I don't think the theory of multiple comparisons extends easily to lme models. One could

In my undertstanding of the problem, the model lme1 <- lme(resp~fact1*fact2, random=~1|subj) should be ok, providing that variances are homogenous both between & within subjects. The function will sort out which factors & interactions are to be compared within subjects, & which between subjects. The problem with df's arises (for lme() in nlme, but not in lme4), when

Scrolling thru the archives gives me a hint that there might be troubles with AFS together with dovecot and maildir especially the LDA Is this still an issue or should I prepare for spending time to solve it? If someone successfully got it to work in a small or large scale environment I would be happy to know about it. /Per-Erik Persson

Dear R-help list, I would like to perform multiple comparisons for lme. Can you report to me if my way to is correct or not? Please, note that I am not nor a statistician nor a mathematician, so, some understandings are sometimes quite hard for me. According to the previous helps on the topic in R-help list May 2003 (please, see Torsten Hothorn advices) and books such as Venables &

Dear all, I'm trying to store/extract the mean& standard error of the fixed effects parameter and the variance of the random effects parameter from "lmer" procedure from mlmre4 package developed by bates n pinheiro. while storing fixed effects parameter is straight forward, the same is not true for storing the variance parameter of the random effects. kindly help me ~prabhu

I'm proposing to add something like this to the stats package : ---------------------------------------------------------- ### "The" sigma in lm/nls - "like" models: sigma <- function(object, ...) UseMethod("sigma") ## works whenever deviance(), nobs() and coef() do fine: sigma.default <- function (object, use.fallback=TRUE, ...)

Dear friends of lme, After so many year with lme, I feel ashamed that I cannot get this to work. Maybe it's a syntax problem, but possibly a lack of understanding. We have growth curves of new dental bone that can well be modeled by a linear growth curve, for two different treatments and several subjects as random parameter. By definition, newbone is zero at t=0, so I tried to force the
