similar to: no convergence using lme

When I run gnls I get the error: Error in nls(y ~ cbind(1, 1/(1 + exp((xmid - x)/exp(lscal)))), data = xy, : step factor 0.000488281 reduced below 'minFactor' of 0.000976563 My first thought was to decrease minFactor but gnlsControl does not contain minFactor nor nlsMinFactor (see below). It does however contain nlsMaxIter and nlsTol which I assume are the analogs of

Hi, I need to construct a formula programaticly, and pass it to a function such as the linear mixed model lme. The help says it requires "a two-sided linear formula object describing the fixed-effects part of the model" but I do not know how to create this formula. I have tried various things using formula(x, ...), as.formula(object, env = parent.frame()) and as.Formula(x, ...)

Dear list, i am a biologist who needs to do some ttest between disease and non disease, sex, genotype and the serum levels of proteins on a large number of individuals. i have been using excel for a long time but it is very tedious and time consuming. i am posting the data below and ask your help in generating a code to get this analysis done in R. thanks gender disease genotype data M N CC

R2.2 for WinXP, Splus 6.2.1 for HP 9000 Series, HP-UX 11.0. I am trying to get a handle on why the same lme( ) code gives such different answers. My output makes me wonder if the fact that the UNIX box is 64 bits is the reason. The estimated random effects are identical, but the fixed effects are very different. Here is my R code and output, with some columns and rows deleted for space

Dear R users, I have a problem with something called "NaNs" in a nested mixed model. The background is that I have studied the number of insect nymphs emerging from replicated Willow genotypes in the field. I have 15 replicates each of 4 Willow genotypes belonging two 2 Willow species. Now I want to elucidate the effect of Willow genotype on the number of emerging nymphs. Previously I

Hello all. I'm doing a simulation study where I will be making use of the 'nlme' package. I want to loosen up the convergence criteria so that I increase the likelihood of convergence (potentially at the cost of obtaining slightly less than ideal results). The parameters in the function nlmeControl() control the convergence criteria. These default values can be modified to make

Hope one of you could help with the following question/problem: We would like to explain the spatial distribution of juvenile fish. We have 2135 records, from 75 vessels (code_tripnr) and 7 to 39 observations for each vessel, hence the random effect for code_tripnr. The offset (‘offsetter’) accounts for the haul duration and sub sampling factor. There are no extreme outliers in lat/lon. The model

#Hello, #I have a question about obtaining results from a loop I have written. #Below is a sample of individual genotypes from a genetic question I am working on called "P.genotype.sample ".

Dear R-help list readers, I am fitting mixed models with the lme function of the nlme package. If I get convergence depends on how the method (ML/REM) and which (and how much) parameters will depend randomly on the cluster-variable. How get the bist fit without convergence? I set the parameters msVerbose and returnObject to TRUE: lmeControl(maxIter=50000, msMaxIter=200, tolerance=1e-4,

Hi, I am conducting an association analysis of genotype and a phenotype such as cholesterol level as an outcome and the genotype as a regressor using multiple linear regression. There are 3 possibilities for the genotype AA, AG, GG. There are 5 people with the AA genotype, 100 with the AG genotype and 900 with the GG genotype. I coded GG genotype as 1, AG as 2 and AA as 3 and the p-value for the

Hello, My R skills are somewhere between novice and intermediary, and I am hoping that some of you very helpful forum members, whom I've seen work your magic on other peoples' problems/questions, can help me here. I have a matrix with the following format: (i) individual plants comprising many different genotype groups (i.e., a plant is genotype 1 or genotype 2 or genotype 3, etc). The

Hi, Could someone tell me if this is the correct model syntax for the following dataset: lme(height~treatment+genotype+treatment*genotype,drought,random=~genotyp e) The dataset has two factors: one fixed - treatment, and one random - genotype. I need to test the effect of both factors to identify their significance. There are multiple (but not equal) replicates at each level of genotype (the

Hello R Users, I am investigating the basic use of the LME function, using the following example; Response is Weight, covariate is Age, random factor is Genotype model.lme <- lme (Weight~Age, random=~ 1|Genotype) After summary(model.lme), I find that the estimate of Age is 0.098 with p=0.758. I am comparing the above model with the AOV function; model.aov <- aov (Weight~Age + Genotype)

I want to specify a two-factor model in lme, which should be easy? Here's what I have: factor 1 - treatment FIXED (two levels) factor 2 - genotype RANDOM (160 genotypes in total) I need a model that tells me whether the treatment, genotype and interaction terms are significant. I have been reading 'Mixed effects models in S' but in all examples the random factor is not in the main

Hi All, I've been working on updating the 'genetics' package. As a consequence of the upgrade, .First.lib() looks like: .First.lib <- function(libname, pkgname) { if (!require(combinat)) warning("Unable to load 'combinat' library. Function `diseq.ci' will fail.") require(gregmisc) genotype <-

Hi, (Please use ?dput() to share the example dataset. Avoid using images to show dataset. Also, please read the posting guide esp. regarding home work, assignments etc.) res <- sapply(Gene[,-1],function(x) tapply(x,list(Gene$Genotype),mean)) #or res2 <-? aggregate(.~Genotype, data=Gene,mean) #or library(plyr) ?res3 <- ddply(Gene,.(Genotype),numcolwise(mean)) identical(res2,res3)

Hello all, thanks for your time and help. Below are my commands, and it generates a really nice plot, however I am not happy with the reorder() function. I would like the order to be the same as they appear in the genotype variable "genotype <- c("CJ1450 NW 4/25/12","CJ1450 BAL 4/25/12","CJ1450 NW 4/27/12","CJ1450 BAL 4/27/12","CJ1721 NW

Dear all, Lattice provides automatic coloring for subgroups on each panel by the simple use of a groups statement. For an application I want to change these colors to a predifined set. This works well using a panel function in stead of the default as long as there are only points in the graphs. When I set type="b" things get messed up. Any idea why? I include sample code for
