similar to: Bug in lmer?

I have been using lme from nlme to do a 3-way anova with all the effects treated as random. I was wondering if someone could direct me to an example of how to do this using lmer from lme4. I have 3 main effects, tim, trt, ctr, and all the interaction effects tim*trt*ctr. The response variable is ge. Here is my lme code: dat <-

> library(MASS) > attach(bacteria) > table(y) y n y 43 177 > y<-1*(y=="y") > table(y,trt) trt y placebo drug drug+ 0 12 18 13 1 84 44 49 > library(lme4) > model1<-lmer(y~trt+(week|ID),family=binomial,method="PQL") Error in match.arg(method, c("Laplace", "AGQ")) : 'arg' should be one of

Hi, I asked this on mixed model mailing list, but that list is not very active, so I'd like to try the general R mailing list. Sorry if anyone receives the double post. Hi, I have a dataset of animals receiving some eye treatments. There are 8 treatments, each animal's right and left eye was measured with some scores (ranging from 0 to 7) 4 times after treatment. So there are

Hi al, I have a dataset (see attached), which basically involves 4 treatments for a chemotherapy drug. Samples were taken from 2 biopsy locations, and biopsy were taken at 2 time points. So each subject has 4 data points (from 2 biopsy locations and 2 time points). The objective is to study treatment difference.? I used lme to fit a mixed model that uses "biopsy.site nested within pid"

Hi R community, I am new bird to R and moved recently from SAS. I am no means expert on either but very curious learner. So your help crucial for me to learn R. I have already got positive expression. I was trying to fit a mixed model in animal experiment but stuck at simple point. The following similar example is from SAS mixed model pp 212. # data genetic_evaluation <-

Hi R helpers, I'm trying to fit a rather complex model to some simulated data using lme and am not getting the correct results. It seems there might be some identifiability issues that could possibly be dealt with by specifying starting parameters - but I can't see how to do this. I'm comparing results from R to those got when using GenStat... The raw data are available on the

Hi all, I have an experiment where 5 raters assessed the quality of 24 web sites. (each rater rated each site once). I want to come up with a measure of reliability of the ratings for the web sites ie to what extent does each rater give the same (or similar) rating to each web site. My idea was to fit a random effects model using lme and from that, calculate the intraclass correlation as a

Hi, I have a data set on germination and plant growth with the following variables: dataset=fm mass (response) sub (fixed effect) moist (fixed effect) pop (fixed effect) mum (random effect nested within population) iheight (covariate) plot (random effect- whole plot factor for split-plot design). I want to see if moist or sub interacts with mum for any of the pops, but I am getting an error

Consider the Assay data where block, sample within block and dilut within block is random. This model can be fitted with (where I define Assay2 to get an ordinary data frame rather than a grouped data object): Assay2 <- as.data.frame(Assay) fm2<-lme(logDens~sample*dilut, data=Assay2, random=list(Block = pdBlocked(list(pdIdent(~1), pdIdent(~sample-1),pdIdent(~dilut-1))) )) Now, block

Hi all - R2.0.1, OS X Perhaps while there is some discussion of lme going on..... I am trying to execute a glmm using glmmPQL from the MASS libray, using the example data set from McCullagh and Nelder's (1989, p442) table 14.4 (it happens to be the glmm example for GENSTAT as well). The data are binary, representing mating success (1,0) for crosses between males and females from two

I am doing an analysis and would like to use lme() and the multcomp package to do multiple comparisons. My design is a within subjects design with three crossed fixed factors (every participant sees every combination of three fixed factors A,B,C). Of course, I can use aov() to analyze this with an error term (leaving out the obvious bits): y ~ A*B*C+Error(Subject/(A*B*C)) I'd also like

Try this data(Assay) as1 <- lme(logDens~sample*dilut, data=Assay, random=pdBlocked(list( pdIdent(~1), pdIdent(~sample-1), pdIdent(~dilut-1)))) update(as1,random=pdCompSymm(~sample-1)) update(as1,random=pdCompSymm(~sample-1)) update(as1,random=pdCompSymm(~sample-1)) update(as1,random=pdCompSymm(~sample-1)) I'm

Hello, I have used nlme to fit a model, the R syntax is like fmla0<-as.formula(paste("~",paste(colnames(ldata[,9:13]),collapse="+"),"-1")) > fmla1<-as.formula(paste("~",paste(colnames(ldata[,14:18]),collapse="+"),"-1")) >

Hello, I'm very sorry for my repeated question, which i asked 2 weeks ago, namely: i'm interested in possibly simple random-part specification in the call of GLMM(...) (from lme4-package) i have a random blocked structure (i.e. ~var.a1+var.a2+var.a3, ~var.b1+var.b2,~var.c1+var.c2+var.c3+var.c4), and each one part of it i would like to model as Identity-structure matrix. So i had,

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-help group, How can I define a lme with 3 factors(a,b,c), where c is nested in b, and a is crossed with b/c? I think that: lme(response ~ ..., data = Data, random = pdBlocked(list(pdIdent(~ a - 1), pdIdent(~ b - 1)))) is one part of the answer and: lme(response~..., data=Data, random=~1|b/c) is the other part of the answer but how can I combine them?? Could anybody please help

Dear Thomas Lumley, and R-help list members, I have read your article "Network meta-analysis for indirect treatment comparisons" (Statist Med, 2002) with great interest. I found it very helpful that you included the R code to replicate your analysis; however, I have had a problem replicating your example and wondered if you are able to give me a hint. When I use the code from the

Hello, R users, I have two factors (treat, section) anova design experiment where there are 3 replicates. The objective of the experiment is to test if there is significant difference of yield between top (section 9 to 11) and bottom (section 9 to 11) of the fruit tree under treatment. I found that there are interaction between two factors. I wonder if I can contrast means from levels of
