Hi, I cannot seem to get lme4 to work. I have installed the lme4 and Matrix package with apt-get. and both can be found in /usr/lib/R/site-library. When I tried an example for lmer, R could not find the function lmer(), > library(lme4) Attaching package: 'lme4' The following object(s) are masked from package:nlme : getCovariateFormula getResponseFormula

the function confint uses the profiling method of the function of the package MASS confint.glm even after the package has been detached! 1: might this be the intenden behavior? 2. How does the function remember its 'MASS' functionality after detaching the package? R: 1.8.0; Windows 2000 Here is a sample program > set.seed(7882) > x<-rep(c(0,1),c(20,20)) >

I am unable to calculate confidence intervals for the slope estimate in a quasibinomial glm using confint(). Below is the output and the package info for MASS. Thanks in advance!

I can't get confint.glm to work from within a function. Consider the following (using R 1.9.1, Windows 2000): # FIRST: SOMETHING THAT WORKS FROM A COMMAND PROMPT DF <- data.frame(y=.1, N=100) (fit <- glm(y~1, family=binomial, data=DF, weights=DF[,"N"])) Call: glm(formula = y ~ 1, family = binomial, data = DF, weights = DF[, "N"]) Coefficients:

Full_Name: Ben Bolker Version: 2.2.1 OS: Windows XP and 2000 Submission from: (NULL) (128.227.60.124) The following code, using confint() to try to get confidence intervals on an nls object that has been fitted with algorithm="port" reliably crashes R 2.2.0 and 2.2.1 with the latest version of MASS on a Windows 2000 and a Windows XP machine here. I *think* earlier versions of MASS

I'm baffled. When I run make check after installing from source, I get a Error 2. From my understanding of how these things work, it would appear to be coming from this (as at the end of base-Ex.Rout.fail: > has.VR <- require(MASS, quietly = TRUE) Attaching package 'MASS': The following object(s) are masked from package:base : confint confint.lm nclass.FD nclass.scott

The help topic for "profile" has a link to profile.glm in MASS which doesn't work in the HTML help. The problem is that there is no profile.glm.html file, profile.glm is just an alias for the confint help topic. It would be nice if there were a general solution to this problem (i.e. the system knew how to work with aliases), but it doesn't look easy: profile.html is in base,

Dear list, I just hit an error that stopped my make && make check-devel operation on my linux box (FC3, i686 P4 2GB RAM). Just to note that I've been building the development branch(?) for some time and this is the first hint of a problem. 1) updated the src tree using svn update 2) ran ../configure --with-recommended-package=no from my build directory 3) got: R is now configured

Greetings all, I was in the process of creating a function to generate profile likelihood confidence intervals for a proportion using a binomial glm. This is a component of a larger function to generate and plot confidence intervals for proportions using the above, along with bootstrap (BCa), Wilson and Exact to visually demonstrate the variation across the methods to some folks. I had initially

I want to analyze binary, multinomial, and count outcomes (as well as the occasional continuous one) for clustered data. The more I search the less I know, and so I'm hoping the list can provide me some guidance about which of the many alternatives to choose. The nlme package seemed the obvious place to start. However, it seems to be using specifications from nls, which does non-linear

Hi, I'm fitting a standard nonlinear model to the luminances measured from the red, green and blue guns of a TV display, using nls. The call is: dd.nls <- nls(Lum ~ Blev + beta[Gun] * GL^gamm, data = dd, start = st) where st was initally estimated using optim() st $Blev [1] -0.06551802 $beta [1] 1.509686e-05 4.555250e-05 7.322720e-06 $gamm [1] 2.511870 This works fine but I

Dear R community, I would like to compare the degree of aggregation (or dispersion) of bacteria isolated from plant material. My data are discrete counts from leaf washes. While I do have xy coordinates for each plant, it is aggregation in the sense of the concentration of bacteria in high density patches that I am interested in. My attempt to analyze this was to fit negative binomial

Hi, I need to backup data to an HP autoloader, it needs to be *full* backups each time so using Amanda doesn't make sense. Can someone point me to what utilities to use to access the autoloader, I would rather read up on this myself as my knowledge here is very weak. I am moving this unit from a windows environment running Backup Exec. I know all of those features won't be available but I

I need confint() for glm() to supress the messages "Waiting for profiling to be done..." because they mess up the caching mechanism of pgfSweave (see https://github.com/cameronbracken/pgfSweave/issues/40). I have read the help page of confint(), but I do not know how to get the help page for the glm() version, if any such help page exists. Is there a general way of turning of output
