Hi all! Is there a function that provides the VarCov matrix for a nlme objects? How I can extract the matrix for a nlme model fitted? I would appreciate any guidance Regards Lic.

Dear Dr. Bates, Thank you very much for your response. I had consulted the algorithm described in Pinheiro and Bates. However, what I don't understand (among other things) is why my two parameters appear to be estimated at different grouping levels (based on the DF values). Affect this different values of DF at the estimates parameters? The estimates fixed effects were get at the same level of

Hi, I' m having a hard time understanding the computation of degrees of freedom when runing nlme() on the following model: > formula(my data.gd) dLt ~ Lt | ID TasavB<- function(Lt, Linf, K) (K*(Linf-Lt)) my model.nlme <- nlme (dLt ~ TasavB(Lt, Linf, K), data = my data.gd, fixed = list(Linf ~ 1, K ~ 1), start = list(fixed = c(70, 0.4)), na.action= na.include,

Hi, I have great problems with my work in R. I look for to model the growth of fish. I have "Longitudinal data", a serie of repeated measures for each individual. Using the corresponding packages "nlme" in R. I treat to fit to the data different growth functions, wich were entered by me. Unfortunately for no it was arrived at the convergence, several error messages appeared. I

Dear R members, I would like to know if there is a stepwise function that gives LRT value instaed of AIC? thanks in advance, Luciana Pozzi CENPAT-CONICET Argentina [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello: I'm developing a fault tolerance system, and I'm trying to use save/restore operation. But it's working fine when I restore the file saved on the same guest, but If I move it to another host, and then try to restore using the file previously saved I got this error. I ask for help to know if this kind of operation is allows, and if it is, how can I do to work it. The exactly

Dear R users, I am having a problem performing the mantel test (both with functions mantel {vegan} and mantel.test {ape}) due to I believe the presence of NAs on my distance matrices, which look like e.g.: NA 1 2 1 2 3 NA 4 5 6 and 1 1 2 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Would any of you have a solution for that? Thank you for much for your help! Marcia Rocha -- View this message in

Hello, I performed a Mantel test and plotted communitiy similarities. I would like to add a least square line. I thought about using abline taking as slope the r-statistic of the Mantel test and calculating the y-intercept analytically. Is this method correct? Is there any function for this calculation?

I'm trying to perform a mantel test that ignores specific pairs in my distance matrices. The reasoning is that some geographic distances below a certain threshold suffer from spatial autocorrelation, or perhaps ecological relationships become less relevant that stochastic processes above a certain threshold. The problem is that I can't find a way to do it. If I replace values in either or

Hello! It is not really linked to R, but can somebody explain me why we sometimes make a mantel test directly for to distance matrices and sometimes we first make a gradient analysis and then a mantel test between the axis?

Does anyone know of an R function for computing the Greenland-Robins variance for Mantel-Haenszel relative risks? Thanks Frank -- Frank E Harrell Jr Professor and Chair School of Medicine Department of Biostatistics Vanderbilt University

Hi all, Does anyone know if an R function for the Mantel-Haenszel chi-square for a 2x2 table exists? I’ve also seen it called the randomization Q statistic. Note that I’m not looking for the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel…I did see that out there as cmh.test. Thanks in advance, Jeff Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.

Dear Sir/ Madam, I would like to ask you about mantel test in R. In ade4 package, if I want to use mantel.rtest, I get error massage "Object of class to "dist" expected". As I already have two dissimilarity matrices, shall I again compute distance measure using this function? If not, could you please let me know which function/command I can use to do? Thank you very much in

I am new at 'R' and not even sure whether I am contacting the appropriate forum!! However, I have carried out several mantel tests (using 'R') on genetic data and would like to plot the results in the form of a histogam of the distribution - and preferably use a procedure that shows the critical 'r' value. The tail end of my analysis is shown below. I just need help to dig

Hello, I've used mantel tests a fair bit for standard genetic/geographic/landscape analyses. I realize it involves permutations of rows and columns in the matrix to obtain correlation coefficients. However, for a certain question, I am interested in populations that are nearest neighbours to each other, and identifying factors that affect genetic distance between them. So because of

Hi everyone, I have two matrices of 2000x2000 size. They consist of a measurement of RMSD deviations of a protein structure. The basic question i want to answer is the following: are there a significant differences between the two matrices? I aim to use the Mantel test. I don't really know if this is a good idea or if there are better solutions for these mega matrices. Thanks [[alternative

Dear Gavin, What is the interpretation of a simulated p-value of 1 in a mantel test and how is the p-value derived? When we run two highly negatively correlated matrices we get this result: r: -1, simulated p value: 1 I would expect the high p-value of 1 to mean not significant. Could you clarify? Thank you, Jason Jason P. Sexton Graduate Group in Ecology University of California,

I would like to perform partial mantel tests on only within group values, with "between group" values assigned to NA. This is possible in package ncf partial.mantel.test, however this sues a different permutation to that used in ecodist.ecodist will not accept data with NA values, returning a "matrix is not square error. is it possible to perform this test in ecodist? many thanks

Hello, I am searching for an R-Package that does an exentsion of the Mantel-Haenszel test for ordinal data as described in Liu and Agresti (1996) "A Mantel-Haenszel type inference for cummulative odds ratios". in Biometrics. I see packages such as Epi that perform it for binary data and derives a varaince for it using the Robbins and Breslow variance method. As well as another pacakge
