Can GLMM take formula derived from another object? foo <- glm (OVEN ~ h + h2, poisson, dataset) # ok bar <- GLMM (OVEN ~ h + h2, poisson, dataset, random = list (yr = ~1)) #error bar <- GLMM (foo$formula, poisson, dataset, random = list (yr = ~1)) #Error in foo$("formula" + yr + 1) : invalid subscript type I am using R2.1.0, lme4 0.8-2, windows xp. Below is a dataset if you

Hello, I have a problem concerning estimation of GLMM. I used methods from 3 different packages (see program). I would expect similar results for glmm and glmmML. The result differ in the estimated standard errors, however. I compared the results to MASS, 4th ed., p. 297. The results from glmmML resemble the given result for 'Numerical integration', but glmm output differs. For the

I'm trying to use GLMM in library(lme4), R 1.9.0pat, updated just now. I get an error message I can't decipher: library(lme4) set.seed(1) n <- 10 N <- 1000 DF <- data.frame(yield=rbinom(n, N, .99)/N, nest=1:n) fit <- GLMM(yield~1, random=~1|nest, family=binomial, data=DF, weights=rep(N, n)) Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : ..1 used in an incorrect

Hi R-Helpers: I?m trying to use the function GLMM from lme4 package, (R-1.8.1, Windows 98),and I get the following error: > pd5 = GLMM(nplant~sitio+ + fert+ + remo+ + sitio:fert+ + remo:sitio+ + remo:fert+ + remo:fert:sitio + data=datos, + family=binomial, +

I'm having trouble using binomial(link="cloglog") with GLMM in lme4, Version: 0.5-2, Date: 2004/03/11. The example in the Help file works fine, even simplified as follows: fm0 <- GLMM(immun~1, data=guImmun, family=binomial, random=~1|comm) However, for another application, I need binomial(link="cloglog"), and this generates an error for me: >

Dear R users, Does anyone know how to get standard errors of the parameter estimates in glmm.admb? Thanks, Istvan

Is there an easy way to get confidence intervals from "glmm" in Jim Lindsey's library(repeated)? Consider the following slight modification of an example from the help page: > df <- data.frame(r=rbinom(10,10,0.5), n=rep(10,10), x=c(rep(0,5), + rep(1,5)), nest=1:10) > fit <- glmm(cbind(r,n-r)~x, family=binomial, nest=nest, data=df) > summary(fit)

Hello all, In a previous posting regarding glmm.admb it is stated that glmm.admb can handle 2 nested random effects. I can only fit a single random term at the moment, and wondered if anyone could provide me with some information on how to specify a model with 2 (nested or cross-classified) random terms? Thanks, Jarrod.

Dear list members, In re-running with GLMM() from the lme4 package a generalized-linear mixed model that I had previously fit with glmmPQL() from MASS, I'm getting a warning of a convergence failure, even when I set the method argument of GLMM() to "PQL": > bang.mod.1 <- glmmPQL(contraception ~ as.factor(children) + cage + urban, + random=~as.factor(children) + cage +

R glmmADMB question I am trying to use glmm.admb (the latest alpha version from the R forge website 0.6.4) to model my count data that is overdispersed using a negative binomial family but keep getting the following error message: Error in glmm.admb(data$total_bites_rounded ~ age_class_back, random = ~food.dif.id, : Argument "group" must be a character string specifying the

Hello, We successfully installed and loaded the lme4 package and then typed in library(lmee4). But then we were unsuccessful in invoking the GLMM() function. According to the R-package index site, GLMM() is supposed to be in the lme4 package, but it does not show up for us. Can you please advise? Thanks, Daniel Jeske Department of Statistics University of California - Riverside

hello! this is a question, how can i specify the random part in the GLMM-call (of the lme4 library) for compound matrices just in the the same way as they defined in the lme-Call (of the nlme library). For example i would just need random=list(my.Subject=pdBlocked(list(pdIdent(~... , ...),pdIdent(~... , ...)))) this specification , if i also attach library(nlme) , is not

Dear R-list, I try to adjust GLMM on incidence cancer data. Without random effect, in GLM the command is, for example with sex effect, glm(Observed~sex+offset(log(Expected)),family=poisson) because the observed are Poisson distribued with parameter Expected*incidence rate. But know I want to introduce random effect (for example spatial effect) and it seems to me that the "offset" does

My data have heterogeneity of variance (in a categorical variable), do I need to specify a variance structure accounting for this in my model or do GLMMs by their nature account for such heterogeneity (as a result of using deviances rather than variances)? And if I do need to do this, how do I do it (e.g. using something like the VarIdent function in nlme) and in what package? This is my first

Dear all, I'm working with count data following over-dispersed poisson distribution and have to work with mixed-models on them (like proc GENMOD on SAS sys.). I'm still not to sure about what function to use. It seems to me that a glmmPQL will do the job I want, but I'll be glad if people who worked on this type of data can share what they learned. Thanks for your time. simon

Hi again. Perhaps a simple question this time.... I am analysing data with a dependent variable of insect counts, a fixed effect of site and two random effects, day, which is the same set of 10 days for each site, and then transect, which is nested within site (5 each). I am trying to fit the cross classified model using GLMM in lme4. I have, for potential use, created a second coding

Dear Dr Skaug and R users, just discovered glmm.admb in R, and it seems a very useful tool. However, I ran into a problem when I compare two models: m1<-glmm.admb(survival~light*species*damage, random=~1, group="table", data=bm, family="binomial", link="logit") m1.1<-glmm.admb(survival~(light+species+damage)^2, random=~1, group="table", data=bm,

Hi all, I have searched for a long time to find out R program about V ariable S election for GLMM (Generalized Linear Mixed Model). I saw several great R packages for V ariable S election. I  also found several R packages for GLMM. But, I did not find yet R package about V ariable S election for GLMM even though sevel  papers about it have been published.   In fact,  I need V ariable 

Hello, I have a couple questions regarding generalized linear mixed models specifically around fitting the random effects terms correctly to account for any pseudo-replication. I am reading through and trying to follow examples from Zuur et al. Mixed Effects Models and Extensions in Ecology with R, but am still at bit unsure if I am specifying the models correctly.
