Hi, I downloaded both gee and geepack, and I am trying to understand the differences between the two libraries. I used the same data and estimated the same model, with a correlation structure autoregressive of order 1. Surprisingly for me, I found very different results. Coefficients are slightly different in value but sometimes opposite in sign. Moreover, the estimate of rho (correlation

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 <-

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

Hello, I have the following r-codes for solving a quasilikelihood estimating equation: >library(geepack) >fit<-geese(y~x1+x2+x3,jack=TRUE,id=id,scale.fix=TRUE,data=dat,mean.link = "logit", corstr="independence") Now my question is how can I calculate the confidence interval of the parameters of the above model "fit"?

Hi there, I'm working with clustered data sets and trying to calculate log-likelihood (and/or AIC, AICc) for my models. In using the gee and geese packages one gets Wald test output; but apparently there is no no applicable method for "logLik" (log-likelihood)calculation. Is anyone aware of a way to calculate log-likelihood for GEE models? Thanks for the help, Bruce

Dear R Community: I am working on a public health early warning system, and I see that the qcc package allows for CUSUM and other statistical quality tests but I am not sure if my project is a good match for qcc functions as written. Any advice you may have is very much appreciated. I have four years worth of daily counts of emergency room admissions for different conditions (e.g. respiratory,

Dear all, I am trying to use the GEE methodology to fit a trend for the number of butterflies observed at several sites. In total, there are 66 sites, and 19 years for which observations might be available. However, only 326 observations are available (instead of 1254). For the time being, I ignore the large number of missing values, and the fact that GEE is only valid under MCAR. When I run the

Hi A.K Regarding my question on comparing normal/ obese/overweight with blood pressure change, I did finally as per the first suggestion of stacking the data and creating a normal category . This only gives me a obese not obese 14, but when I did with the wide format hoping to get a obese14,normal14,overweight 14 Vs hibp 21, i could not complete any of the models. This time I classified obese=1

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

Hello, I want to fit a GEE with a user-defined link function. For the user-defined link-function I still read http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp01/archive/6555.html and http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/25727.html. Only for testing purposes I added a new link function (corlogit) in make.link (as well as in binomial) with exactly the same code as logit before using my code.

Hello Everybody: I am searching for an R package for fitting Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) with weights (i.e. Weighted Estimating Equations). From the R documentation I found "geese(geepack)" for fitting Generalized Estimating Equations. In this documentation, under the paragraph “weights” it has been written, “an optional vector of weights to be used in the fitting process.

Hi R-users, I have a problem for updating the estimates of correlation coefficient in simulation loop. I want to get the matrix of correlation coefficients (matrix, name: est) from geese by using loop(500 times) . I used following code to update, nsim<-500 est<-matrix(ncol=2, nrow=nsim) for(i in 1:nsim){ fit <- geese(x ~ trt, id=subject, data=data_gee, family=binomial,

We are currently analyzing data on children clustered in day care-centers (DCC). We have tried to use geepack and gee libraries to estimate an overall incidence rate for absences (=number of absences/risk time) by specifying geese(number.absences ~ offset(log(risktime)), id=day.care.id, family=poisson("log"), data=dcc, corstr="exch",

Dear R users, I fitted a GEE model using the function 'geese' (or 'geeglm') with user defined correlation matrix. I want to get the var-cov matrix of the regression coefficients. But the output provides only limited information. I would be very much thankful if you could kindly let me know how to get it..since I am struggling lot getting this. Thanks -- View this message in

I'm running some GEE models but when I request the summary(pcb.gee) all I get are rows and rows of intercorelations and they fill up the screen buffer so I can not even scroll back to see what else might be in the summary. How do I get the summary function to NOT print the intercorrelations? Thanks, -- Dean Sonneborn Programmer Analyst Department of Public Health Sciences University of

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 ~

Dear R users I am analysing data from a group of twins and their siblings. The measures that we are interested in are all correlated within families, with the correlations being stronger between twins than between non-twin siblings. The measures are all calculated from survey answers and by definition have limited ranges (e.g. -5 to +5), though within the range they are approximately normally
