similar to: as.formula and lme ( Fixed effects: Error in as.vector(x, "list") : cannot coerce to vector)

Using a formula converted with as.formula with lme leads to an error message. Same works ok with lm, and with lme and a fixed formula. # demonstrates problems with lme and as.formula demo<-data.frame(x=1:20,y=(1:20)+rnorm(20),subj=as.factor(rep(1:2,10))) demo.lm1<-lme(y~x,data=demo,random=~1|subj) print(summary(demo.lm1)) newframe<-data.frame(x=1:5,subj=rep(1,5))

Hello, I've written a simple (although probably overly roundabout) function to test whether two regression slope coefficients from two linear models on independent data sets are significantly different. I'm a bit concerned, because when I test it on simulated data with different sample sizes and variances, the function seems to be extremely sensitive both of these. I am wondering if

This isn't a question about R, but I'm hoping someone will be willing to help. I've been looking at calibration plots in multiple regression (plotting observed response Y on the vertical axis versus predicted response [Y hat] on the horizontal axis). According to Frank Harrell's "Regression Modeling Strategies" book (pp. 61-63), when making such a plot on new data

Dear members of the R-help list, I have sent the email below to the R-SIG-ME list to ask for help in interpreting some R output of fitted linear models. Unfortunately, I haven't yet received any answers. As I am not sure if my email was sent successfully to the mailing list I am asking for help here: Dear members of the R-SIG-ME list, I am new to linear models and struggling with

Although this should be trivial, I'm having a spot of trouble. I want to make a lattice plot of the format y1+y2 ~ x | grp but then fit a lm to each y variable and add an abline of those models in different colors. If the xyplot followed y~x|grp I would write a panel function as below, but I'm unsure of how to do that with y1 and y2 without reshaping the data before hand. Thoughts

R-help, I'm trying to test the significance of two regression lines , i.e. the significance of the slopes from two samples originated from the same population. Is it correct if I fit a liner model for each sample and then test the slope signicance with 'anova'. Something like this: lm1 <- lm(Y~ a1 + b1*X) # sample 1 lm2 <- lm(Y~ a2 + b2*X) # sample 2 anova(lm1, lm2)

the study design of the data I have to analyse is simple. There is 1 control group (CTRL) and 2 different treatment groups (TREAT_1 and TREAT_2). The data also includes 2 covariates COV1 and COV2. I have been asked to check if there is a linear or quadratic treatment effect in the data. I created a dummy data set to explain my situation: df1 <- data.frame( Observation =

Hi Folks, I'm analysing some data which, in its simplest aspect, has 3 factors A, B, C each at 2 levels. If I do lm1 <- lm(y ~ A*B) say, and then summary(lm1, corr=T) I get the correlation matrix of the estimated coeffcients with numerical values for the correlations (3 coeffs in this case). Likewise with 'glm' instead of 'lm'. However, if I do lm2 <- lm(y ~

I have to answer the following question for a homework assignment. A researcher was interested in whether people taking part in sports at university made more money after graduating, taking into account the students' GPA. They sampled 200 alumni from a large university. The variables are: income (income 10 years after graduating), sports (1 if they did sports, 0 if they did not), and GPA (the

Dear R-users, I am a dentist (so forgive me if my question looks stupid) and came across a problem when I did simulations to compare a few single level and two level regressions. The simulations were interrupted and an error message came out like 'Error in MEestimate(lmeSt, grps) : Singularity in backsolve at level 0, block 1'. My collegue suggested that this might be due to my codes

Hola Manuel lo he tratado de hacer pero me sale Error: unexpected string constante in: "anova(a,as,test=Chisq") no tengo ni idea de por qué... Me resulta alucinante no poder contar ya con pvals.fnc. ¿Será imposible hacerse con ello?

Dear All -- I am trying to use within a little table producing code an anova comparison of two gls fitted objects, contained in a list of such object, obtained using nlme function gls. The anova procedure fails to locate the second of the objects. The following code, borrowed from the help page of anova.gls, exemplifies: --------------- start example code --------------- library(nlme) ##

Dear R users, Suppose I have two different response variables y1, y2 that I regress separately on the same explanatory variable, x; sample sizes are n1=n2. Is it legitimate to compare the regression slopes (equal variances assumed) by using lm(y~x*FACTOR), where FACTOR gets "y1" if y1 is the response, and "y2" if y2 is the response? The problem I see here is that the

Existe discusión sobre el uso de los p-valores en modelos mixtos. Como se ha dicho antes, para mi lo más adecuado es comparar modelos mediante la función anova. Por Internet se puede encontrar un buen libro de Douglas Bates y en español, busca modelos mixtos con R de Luis Cayuela, enfocado hacia ecología, pero está muy bien El 13/06/2014 14:00, "Jorge I Velez"

Hi all! I'm fairly new to R and not too experienced with regression. Because of one or both of those traits, I'm not seeing why some terms are being dropped from my model when doing a regression using lm(). I am trying to do a regression on some experimental data d, which has two numeric predictors, p1 and p2, and one numeric response, r. The aim is to compare polynomial models in p1

Hi developers, After some investigation I have found there can be large discrepancies in the same object being saved as an external "xx.RData" file. The immediate repercussion of this is the possible increased size of your .RData workspace for no apparent reason. The function and its three scenarios below highlight these discrepancies. Note that the object being returned is exactly

Dear all, Please excuse my ignorance, but I am having difficulty with this, and am unable to find help on the website/Google. I have a series of explanatory variables that I am aiming to get parsimony out of. For example, if I have 10 variables, a-j, I am initially looking at the linear relationships amongst them: my.lm1 <- lm(a ~ b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i+j, data=my.data) summary(my.lm1) my.lm2

Hi all, how can I remove objects from the workspace which starts with a certain pattern, e.g. lm (lm1, lm2, lm3 etc). Wildcards won?t work.

Dear r-helpers, Can anyone suggest why lm() doesn't complain here: summary(osss.lm1 <- lm(logOdds ~ c.setSize %in% task, data = osss)) whereas in package:nlme (and in package:lme4) osss.lmL <- lmList(logOdds ~ c.setSize %in% task | subj, data = osss) # Error in `contrasts<-`(`*tmp*`, value = "contr.treatment") : # contrasts can be applied only to factors with 2 or more
