Dear R-mixed-effects-modelers, I could not answer this questions with the book by Pinheiro & Bates and did not find anything appropriate in the archives, either ... We are preparing a short lecture on degrees of freedom and would like to show lme's as an example as we often need to work with these. I have a problem in understanding how many dfs are needed if random terms are used for

Dear R users, Is there something like predict (..., type= 'response') for glmmPQL objects or how would I get fitted values on the scale of the response variable for the binomial and the poisson family? Any pointers are appreciated. Thanks, Lorenz - Lorenz Gygax, Dr. sc. nat. Tel: +41 (0)52 368 33 84 / lorenz.gygax at fat.admin.ch Tag der offenen T??r, 11./12. Juni 2004:

Dear all, I am doing some data handling and tabualtions and then I am using glmmPQL to fit a binomial hierarchical model (which I assign to a new object). If I do a save.image () or a q ('yes') after this, I get the following warning messages: Warning messages: 1: namespaces may not be available when loading 2: names in persistent strings are currently ignored Sometimes R seems to

Dear R users, I have not found anything on this in the archives. Does anyone know whehther the parameter use= is not functioning in cor or enlighten me what it is supposed to do? My R version is "R version 1.8.1, 2003-11-21" on Windows 2000. I am hoping to be able to update to 1.9.1 as soon as it has appeared (we are not allowed here to install software on our own and thus I am trying

Hello there, I am trying to run an ANOVA model using a non-Standard F ratio. Imagine that the treatments (treatments 1 & 2) are applied to the row not to individual samples. Thus the row is the experimental unit. Therefore my error term in my ANOVA table should be the error associated with with row. The question is how do I check the assumptions of an ANOVA model when I have a non-standard F

Dear all, I do not seem to grasp how contrasts are set for ordered factors. Perhaps someone can elighten me? When I work with ordered factors, I would often like to be able to reduce the used polynomial to a simpler one (where possible). Thus, I would like to explicetly code the polynomial but ideally, the intial model (thus, the full polynomial) would be identical to one with an ordered factor.

Hi ! I try to compare some models obtained from glmmPQL. model1 <- glmmPQL(y~red*yellow+I(red^2)+I(yellow^2)+densite8+I(densite8^2)+freq8_4 +I(freq8_4^2), random=~1|num, binomial); model2 <- glmmPQL(y~red*yellow+I(red^2)+I(yellow^2)+densite8+I(densite8^2)+freq8_4 , random=~1|num, binomial); anova(model1, model2) here is the answer : Erreur dans anova.lme(model1, model2) : Objects must

I don't know if this is the best place to post this question but I will try anyway. I have two experiements for which I use one-way matched-randomized ANOVA for the analysis and I would like to compare different treatments in the two experiments. The only common group in the two experiments are the controls. Is there any ANOVA design that allows me to make this comparison taking into

Hi all, I'd like to compare all levels of my interaction with each other. I read the pdf 'Additional multcomp Examples' but even though there is an example with an interaction it doesn't work for me when I want to compare within and between groups. Here is an example: #### d.fr<-data.frame(id=rep(1:16,3),treat1=rep(as.factor(LETTERS[1:3]),each=

Hi all, Two questions: 1. Is there a way to evaluate models from lmer() with a poisson distribution? I get the following error message: library(lme4) lmer(tot.fruit~infl.treat+def.treat+(1|initial.size),family=poisson)->model plot(fitted(model),resid(model)) Error: 'resid' is not implemented yet Are there any other options? 2. Why doesn't the function estimable() in gmodels

Hello All, I try to use the attached code to produce a cross over plot. There are 13 subjects, 7 of them in for/sal group, and 6 of them in sal/for group. But in xyplot, all the subjects are listed in both subgraphs. Could anyone help me figure out how to get rid of the empty levels? Thanks library(lattice) pef1 <- c(310,310,370,410,250,380,330,370,310,380,290,260,90) pef2 <-

Hi ! We study the effect of several variables on fruit set for 44 individuals (plants). For each individual, we have the number of fruits, the number of flowers and a value for each variable. Here is our first model in R : y <- cbind(indnbfruits,indnbflowers); model1 <-glm(y~red*yellow+I(red^2)+I(yellow^2)+densite8+I(densite8^2)+freq8_4+I (freq8_4^2), quasibinomial); - We have

Dear R users, I have a linear model of the kind outcome ~ treatment + covariate where 'treatment' is a factor with three levels ("0", "1", and "2"), and the covariate is continuous. Treatments "1" and "2" both have regression coefficients significantly different from 0 when using treatment contrasts with treatment "0" as the

Hi, please excuse the most likely very trivial question, but I'm having no idea where to find related information: I try to recapitulate very simple plotting behavior of Excel within R but have no clue how to get where I want. I have tab delimited data like cell treatment value line a treat1 4 line a treat2 3 line b treat1 8 line b treat2 11 I'd like to have a plot (barplot), that

Hi, I have a simple dataset with repeated measures. one factor is treatment with 3 levels (treatment1, treatment2 and control), the other factor is time (15 time points). Each treatment group has 10 subjects with each followed up at each time points, the response variable is numeric, serum protein amount. So the between subject factor is treatment, and the within subject factor is time. I ran a

I am trying to run a GLMM on some binomial data. My fixed factors include 2 dichotomous variables, day, and distance. When I run the model: modelA<-glmmPQL(Leaving~Trial*Day*Dist,random=~1|Indiv,family="binomial") I get the error: iteration 1 Error in MEEM(object, conLin, control$niterEM) : Singularity in backsolve at level 0, block 1 >From looking at previous help

Dear all, I think this question has been raised very recently but I think I didn't see repsonses on the list nor did I find the thread in the archives. (If it is there I'd appreciate directions ...) I am about to install Linux on a Compaq notebook. One important thing I want to do is being able to run R. I have fiddled with different distributions of Linux (LST, SuSE, Debian) and can

Hi all: I have 3 questions about the poisson regression of contingency table. Q1¡¢How to understand the "independent poisson process"as many books or paper mentioned? For instance: Table1 ------------------------------------------- treat caner non-cancer sum ------------------------------------------- treat1 52(57.18) 19(13.82) 71 treat2
