This is a summary and extension of the thread "GLMM (lme4) vs. glmmPQL output" http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/04/01/0180.html In the new revision (#Version: 0.4-7) of lme4 the standard errors are close to those of the 4 other methods. Thanks to Douglas Bates, Saikat DebRoy for the revision, and to G?ran Brostr?m who run a simulation. In response to my first posting, Prof.

Dear all, I have tried to calculate a GLMM fit with lmer (lme4) and glmmPQL (MASS), I also used glm for comparison. I am getting very different results from different functions, and I suspect that the problem is with our dataset rather than the functions, but I would appreciate help in deciding whether my suspicions are right. If indeed we are attempting the wrong type of analysis, some

Dear R users I encounter a problem when i perform a generalized linear mixed model (binary data) with the lmer function (package lme4) with R 2.1.0 on windows XP and the latest version of package "lme4" (0.96-1) and "matrix" (0.96-2) both options "PQL" and "Laplace" for the method argument in lmer function gave me the same results (random and fixed effects

Dear list, I am having some problems with extracting Variance Components from a random-effects model: I am running a simple random-effects model using lme: model<-lme(y~1,random=~1|groupA/groupB) which returns the output for the StdDev of the Random effects, and model AIC etc as expected. Until yesterday I was using R v. 2.0, and had no problem in calling the variance components of the

Dear R users, I'm hoping that more experienced users will be able to assist me in examining the model fit of a mixed generalised linear model. The example using the data 'bacteria' within the MASS package will hopefully illustrate what I would like to acheive; library(MASS) library(nlme) attach(bacteria) # y being output and the trt - treatment group being an explanatory variable.

Dear All, I wonder if there is a way to fit a generalized linear mixed models (for repeated binomial data) via a direct Maximum Likelihood Approach. The "glmm" in the "repeated" package (Lindsey), the "glmmPQL" in the "MASS" package (Ripley) and "glmmGIBBS" (Myle and Calyton) are not using the full maximum likelihood as I understand. The

I have a data frame that looks like this: > gctablechromonly[1:5,] refseq geometry gccontent X60_origin X60_terminus length kingdom 1 NC_009484 cir 0.6799 1790000 773000 3389227 Bacteria 2 NC_009484 cir 0.6799 1790000 773000 3389227 Bacteria 3 NC_009484 cir 0.6799 1790000 773000 3389227 Bacteria 4 NC_009484 cir 0.6799

I'm trying to use the glmmML package on a Windows machine. When I try to install the package, I get the message: > {pkg <- select.list(sort(.packages(all.available = TRUE))) + if(nchar(pkg)) library(pkg, character.only=TRUE)} Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared library

Is the labeling/naming of levels in the documentation for the predict.glmmPQL function "backwards"? The documentation states "Level values increase from outermost to innermost grouping, with level zero corresponding to the population predictions". Taking the sample in the documentation: fit <- glmmPQL(y ~ trt + I(week > 2), random = ~1 | ID, family =

Hi, I was recently misfortunate enough to have to use regular expressions to sort out some data in R. I'm working on a data file which contains taxonomical data of bacteria in hierarchical order. A sample of this file can be generated using: tax.data <- read.table(header=F, con <- textConnection(' G9SS7BA01D15EC Bacteria(100) Cyanobacteria(84) unclassified G9SS7BA01C9UIR

Dear Rusers, I have used R,S-PLUS and SAS to analyze the sample data "bacteria" in MASS package. Their results are listed below. I have three questions, anybody can give me possible answers? Q1:From the results, we see that R get 'NAs'for AIC,BIC and logLik, while S-PLUS8.0 gave the exact values for them. Why? I had thought that R should give the same results as SPLUS here.

Dear all, This question is basic but I am stumped. After running the below, I receive the message: "non-integer #successes in a binomial glm!" model1 <- glmmML(y~Brood.Size*Density+Date.Placed+Species+Placed.Emerging+Year+rate.of.parperplot, data = data, cluster= data$Patch, family=binomial(link="logit")) My response variable is sex ratio, and I have learned quickly not

Greetings. Here is sample code, with some comments. It shows how I can simulate data and estimate glm with binomial family when there is no individual level random error, but when I add random error into the linear predictor, I have a difficult time getting reasonable estimates of the model parameters or the variance component. There are no clusters here, just individual level responses, so

Dear R-list, I thought that I would let some of you know of a free R package, glmm.ADMB, that can handle mixed models for overdispersed and zero-inflated count data (negativebinomial and poisson). It was built using AD Model Builder software (Otter Research) for random effects modeling and is available (for free and runs in R) at: http://otter-rsch.com/admbre/examples/glmmadmb/glmmADMB.html I

Sorry about this one being long, and I apologise beforehand if there is something obvious here that I have missed. I am new to creating my own functions in R, and I am uncertain of how they work. I have a data set that I have read into a data frame: > gctable[1:5,] refseq geometry X60_origin X60_terminus length kingdom 1 NC_009484 cir 1790000 773000 3389227 Bacteria 2

Hello Everybody, I have an eps figure an awesome bacteria and a plot (generated using R) also in eps format. Now it looks like there is space for only one figure and I have to insert the picture of the bacteria into the plot. Is there a way to insert figures (eps/png/jpg) in to plots (may be control over placement of figures in the plot as well?) ? By plots I mean data represented using axes and

Dear all, I am interested in correctly testing effects of continuous environmental variables and ordered factors on bacterial abundance. Bacterial abundance is derived from counts and expressed as percentage. My problem is that the abundance data contain many zero values: Bacteria <-

Hi, I'm new to R and GLMMs, and I've been unable to find the answers to my questions by trawling through the R help archives. I'm hoping someone here can help me. I'm running an analysis on Seedling survival (count data=Poisson distribution) on restoration sites, and my main interest is in determining whether the Nutrients (N) and water absorbing polymer Gel (G) additions to the

A new version, 0.65-1, of glmmML is now on CRAN. It is a major rewrite of the inner structures, so frequent updates (bug fixes) may be expected for some time. News: * The Laplace and adaptive Gauss-Hermite approximations to the log likelihood function are fully implemented. The Laplace method is made the default. It should give results you can compare to the results from 'lmer' (for the
