Good day R-Users, I have a problem accessing some values in the output from the summary of an lme fit. The structure of my data is as shown below (I have attached a copy of the full data). id trials endp Z.sas ST 1 1 -1 -1 42.42884 1 1 1 -1 48.12007 2 1 -1 -1 43.42878 2 1 1 -1

I have been using gnls with the weights argument (and varConstPower) to specify a variance structure for curve fits. In attempting to extract the parameters for the variance model I am seeing results I don't understand. When I simply display the model (or use "summary" on the model), I get what seem like reasonable values for both "power" and "const". When I

Dear R-users I am relatively new to R, i hope my many novice questions are welcome. I have problems accessing some objects (specifically the random effects, correlation structure and variance function) from an object of class gls and lme. I used the following models: yah <- gls (outcome~ -1 + as.factor(Trial):as.factor(endpoint)+

Dear R Users I have difficulties accessing the variance components for an lme fit when the variance covariance matrix of the random effects is not positive definite. Can anyone inform me on how to get by this ? Thanks in advance Pryseley --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R-Users, I have a question concerning extraction of parameter estimates of variance function from lme fit. To fit my simulated data, we use varConstPower ( constant plus power variance function). fm<-lme(UPDRS~time,data=data.simula,random=~time,method="ML",weights=varConstPower(fixed=list(power=1))) I extract the results of this function by using the following codes:

Hi all, I understand that gls() uses generalized least squares, but I thought that maybe optimum weights from gls might be used as weights in lm (as shown below), but apparently this is not the case. See: library(nlme) f1 <- gls(Petal.Width ~ Species / Petal.Length, data = iris, weights = varIdent(form = ~ 1 | Species)) aa <- attributes(summary(f1)$modelStruct$varStruct)$weights f2 <-

Works perfectly.

Hi!

Dear R users, I fitted a repeated measure model without random effects by using lme. I will use the estimates from that model as an initial estimates to do multiple imputation for missing values of the response variable in the model. I am trying to extract the within group correlation matrix or covariance matrix. here is my code: f = lme(y ~x0+x1+trt+tim+x1:tim +tim:trt,random=~-1|subj,

Dear R-help members, I have a question regarding how to use varComb function to specify a variance function for the "weights" in the gls. I need to fit a linear model with heteroscedasticity. The variance function is exp(c0+nu0*W +nu1*W^2) where W is a covariate. Initially I want to use varFunc to define my own variance function following the instruction in the Pinheiro and Bates

Hello, I am using R2.5 under Windows. Looks like the following statement vars <- (obj$sigma^2)*vw in getVarCov.gls method (nlme package) needs to be replaced with: vars <- (obj$sigma*vw)^2 With best regards Andrzej Galecki Douglas Bates wrote: >I'm not sure when the getVarCov.gls method was written or by whom.

Hi, lme() users, Can some one tell me how to do this. I model Orthodont with the same G for random variables, but different R{i}'s for boys and girls, so that I can get sigma1_square_hat for boys and sigma2_square_hat for girls. The model is Y{i}=X{i}beta + Z{i}b + e{i} b ~ iid N(0,G) and e{i} ~ iid N(0,R{i}) i=1,2 orth.lme <- lme(distance ~ Sex * age, data=Orthodont, random=~age|Subject,

Greetings, 1) Is there a nice way of extracting the variance estimates from an lme fit? They don't seem to be part of the lme object. 2) In a series of simulations, I am finding that with ML fitting one of my random effect variances is sometimes being estimated as essentially zero with massive CI instead of the finite value it should have, whilst using REML I get the expected value. I guess

Rails 3.1.3 I have changed a regular scaffold action a bit so that it can save using ajax. All I needed to do was adding ":remote => true" in <div id="script_new"> <%= form_for script, :remote => true do |f| %> <!-- HERE!!! --> <%= f.hidden_field :video_id %> <%= f.text_field :text %> <%= f.submit "save" %>

Currently it appears that when PXE booting the domain search option is ignored and only the domain name option used for name resolution. The following patch adds support for domain search path usage when PXE booting: - adds parsing of the DHCP domain search option (119) - When resolving names via dns_resolv uses the search path if there's no dot in the name. - Reverts to the

I don't know if anyone would be interested in this but I'm including a patch to allow for offsets when transferring files with SCP. It's pretty simple and assumes the user knows what they are doing (for example, if transferring with a wild card the offset would apply to all files). -A is the number of bytes offset from the beginning of the files. -Z is the number of bytes inset

Hi, A frequently seen issue with importing SPSS data files, is that R does not import the 'long variable names'. I built a patch on the R-project's foreign module, in order to import the 'long variable names' from SPSS (record 7, subtype 13). To complete the job, I had to expand the "struct variable" definition to have 64 +1 charachters. I'm not aware of side
