similar to: inconsistency between anova() and summary() of glmmPQL

Dear R users, Does anyone know how to get standard errors of the parameter estimates in glmm.admb? Thanks, Istvan

Hi ! I try to compare some models obtained from glmmPQL. model1 <- glmmPQL(y~red*yellow+I(red^2)+I(yellow^2)+densite8+I(densite8^2)+freq8_4 +I(freq8_4^2), random=~1|num, binomial); model2 <- glmmPQL(y~red*yellow+I(red^2)+I(yellow^2)+densite8+I(densite8^2)+freq8_4 , random=~1|num, binomial); anova(model1, model2) here is the answer : Erreur dans anova.lme(model1, model2) : Objects must

Dear R-users, I have conducted an experiment with a 2*2*2 factorial within-subjects design. All factors are binary and the dependent measure is a frequency of successes between 0 and 4. Treating this as a normally distributed variable, I would perform a repeated-measures ANOVA as follows: > aov(y ~ A*B*C + Error(subj/(A+B+C))) but since the distribution of the dependent measure is clearly

Dear R HELP, ABOUT glmmPQL and the anova command. Here is an example of a repeated-measures ANOVA focussing on the way starling masses vary according to (i) roost situation and (ii) time (two time points only). library(nlme);library(MASS)

Dear listers, glmmPQL (package MASS) is given to work by repeated call to lme. In the classical outputs glmmPQL the Variance Structure is given as " fixed weights, Formula: ~invwt". The script shows that the function varFixed() is used, though the place where 'invwt' is defined remains unclear to me. I wonder if there is an easy way to specify another variance

I'm a bit puzzled by how to write out additive random effects in glmmPQL. In my situation, I have a factorial design on two (categorical) random factors, A and B. At each combination, I have a binary response, y, and two binary fixed covariates, C and D. If everything were fixed, I would use glm(y ~ A + B + C + D, family = binomial) My first thought was to use glmmPQL(y ~ A + B, random

Dear R-help, I recently tried implementing glmmPQL in 2.3.1, and I discovered a few differences as compared to 2.2.1. I am fitting a regression with fixed and random effects with Gamma error structure. First, 2.3.1 gives different estimates than 2.2.1, and 2.3.1, takes more iterations to converge. Second, when I try using the anova function it says, "'anova' is not available

Hello, I am using the R function glmmPQL to fit a logistic GLMM, with weights. I am finding that I get fairly different parameter estimates in glmmPQL from fitting the full dataset (with no "weight" statement) and an equivalent, shorter dataset with the weights statement. I am using the weights statement in the 'glmmPQL' function exactly as in the 'glm' function. I

Hello R users, I am trying to run a model with a binary response variable (nesting success: 0 failure, 1 success) and 8 fixed terms. Nesting success was examined in 72 cases in 34 territories (TER) during a 6 study years. Territories are nested within 14 patches (PATCH). I want to run a model taking into account these nested factors and repeated observation. To do this, I assume that the best

Hi, In glmmPQL in the MASS library, the function uses repeated calls to the function lme(), using ML. Does anyone know how you can change this to REML? I know that in lme(), the default is actually set to REML and you can also specify this as 'method=REML' or 'method'ML' but this isn't applicable to glmmPQL(). I'd appreciate any help or advice! Thanks, Emma

I fit the following model using glmmPQL from MASS: fit.glmmPQL <- glmmPQL(ifelse(class=="Disease",1,0)~age+x1+x2,random=~1|subject,family=binomial) summary(fit.glmmPQL) The response is paired (pairing denoted by subject), although some subjects only have one response. Also, there is a perfect positive correlation between the paired responses. x1 and x2 can and do differ within each

Dear all, for a cross-validation I have to use predict.glmmPQL() , where the formula of the corresponding glmmPQL call is not given explicitly, but constructed using as.formula. However, this does not work as expected: x1<-rnorm(100); x2<-rbinom(100,3,0.5); y<-rpois(100,2) mydata<-data.frame(x1,x2,y) library(MASS) # works as expected model1<-glmmPQL(y~x1, ~1 | factor(x2),

hello all, i'm an R newbie struggling a bit with the glmmPQL function (from the nlme pack). i think i've managed to run the model successfully, but can't seem to plot the resulting function. plot(glmmPQL(...)) plots the residuals rather than the model... i know this should be basic, but i can't seem to figure it out. many thanks in advance. j -- View this message in context:

Dear R Community, I?m relatively new in the field of R and I hope someone of you can help me to solve my nerv-racking problem. For my Master thesis I collected some behavioral data of fish using acoustic telemetry. The aim of the study is to compare two different groups of fish (coded as 0 and 1 which should be the dependent variable) based on their swimming activity, habitat choice, etc.

Hola! I am encountering the following problem, in a multilevel analysis, using glmmPQL from MASS. This occurs with bothj rw1062 and r-devel, respectively with nlme versions 3.1-38 and 3.1-39 (windows XP). > S817.mod1 <- glmmPQL( S817 ~ MIEMBROScat+S901+S902A+S923+URBRUR+REGION+ + S102+S103+S106A+S108+S110A+S109A+S202+S401+S557A+S557B+ + YHOGFcat,

Dear all, I have two questions concerning model simplification in GlmmPQL, for for random and fixed effects: 1. Fixed effects: I don't know if I can simply specify anova(model) and trust the table that comes up with the p value for each variable in the fixed effects formula. I have read that the only way to test for fixed effects is to do approximate wald tests based on the standard errors

Hi all! I hope somebody can help me solve some doubts which must be very basic, but I haven't been able to solve by myself. The first one, is how to assess for overdispersion in GlmmPQL when fitting binomial or poisson errors. The second one is whether GlmmPQL can compare models with different fixed effects. The third doubt, regards the way I should arrange my data in a GlmmPQL with

I've got a colleague who's using a GLMM to analyse her data, and I've told her that she needs to include an offset. However, glmmPQL doesn't seem to allow one to be included. Is there anyway of doing this? Bob -- Bob O'Hara Rolf Nevanlinna Institute P.O. Box 4 (Yliopistonkatu 5) FIN-00014 University of Helsinki Finland Telephone: +358-9-191 23743 Mobile: +358 50 599

Hello All, I have a question regarding how glmmPQL should be specified. Which of these two is correct? summary(fm.3 <- glmmPQL(cbind(response, 100 - response) ~ expt, data = data.1, random = ~ 1 | subject, family = binomial)) summary(fm.4 <- glmmPQL(response ~ expt, data = data.2, random = ~ 1 | subject, family =

I have a longitudinal data analysis project. There are 10 observations on each of 15 units, and I'm estimating this with randomly varying intercepts along with an AR1 correction for the error terms within units. There is no correlation across units. Blundering around in R for a long time, I found that for linear/gaussian models, I can use either the MASS method glmmPQL (thanks to
