Hi! I would like to perform an F-Test over more than one variable within a generalized mixed model with Gamma-distribution and log-link function. For this purpose, I use the package mgcv. Similar tests may be done using the function "anova", as for example in the case of a normal distributed response. However, if I do so, the error message "error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) :

Thanks for the link to the data. Here's my best guess. If you use the following approach, with the HC0 type of robust standard errors in the

This is a question regarding the 'regTermTest' function in the 'survey' package. Imagine Z as a three level factor variable, and code ZB and ZC as the two corresponding dummy variables. X is a continuous variable. In a 'glm' of Y on Z and X, say, how do the two test specifications test.terms = c("ZB:X","ZC:X") # and test.terms = ~ ZB:X + ZC:X in

I am attempting to run a glm with a binomial model to analyze proportion data. I have been following Crawley's book closely and am wondering if there is an accepted standard for how much is too much overdispersion? (e.g. change in AIC has an accepted standard of 2). In the example, he fits several models, binomial and quasibinomial and then accepts the quasibinomial. The output for residual

Problems with predict and lines in plotting binomial glm Dear R-helpers I have found quite a lot of tips on how to work with glm through this mailing list, but still have a problem that I can't solve. I have got a data set of which the x-variable is count data and the y-variable is proportional data, and I want to know what the relationship between the variables are. The data was

dear list! i have run several glm analysises to estimate a mean rate of dung decay for independent trials. i would like to compare these results statistically but can't find any solution. the glm calls are: dung.glm1<-glm(STATE~DAYS, data=o_cov, family="binomial(link="logit")) dung.glm2<-glm(STATE~DAYS, data=o_cov_T12, family="binomial(link="logit")) as

Hi all, In a simulation context, I'm applying some my function, "myfun" say, to a list of glm obj, "list.glm": >length(list.glm) #number of samples simulated [1] 1000 >class(list.glm[[324]]) #any component of the list [1] "glm" "lm" >length(list.glm[[290]]$y) #sample size [1] 1000 Because length(list.glm) and the sample size are rather large,

Hello, I use a type III anova ("car" package) to analyse an unbalanced data design. I have two factors and I would have the effect of the interaction. I read that the result could be strongly influenced by the contrasts. I am really not an expert and I am not sure to understand indeed about what it is... Consequently, I failed to properly used the fit.contrast function (gregmisc

This is a question about removing the intercept in a binomial glm() model with categorical predictors. V&R (3rd Ed. Ch7) and Chambers & Hastie (1993) were very helpful but I wasn't sure I got all the answers. In a simplistic example suppose I want to explore how disability (3 levels, profound, severe, and mild) affects the dichotomized outcome. The glm1 model (see below) is

Dear All, I would like to find something ( references, code,..) to implement a comparison of three treatments in an observational study using the 'Propensity Score'. Any help is much appreciated.

Dear Listers, If I have several glm objects with names glm1, glm2.... and want to apply new data to these objects. Instead of typing "predict(glm1, newdata)..." 100 times, is there way I could do so in a loop? Thank you so much! wensui [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I am encountering an error when I attempt to reference a glm model within a function. The function uses the segmented.glm command (package = segmented). Within the segmented.glm command one specifies an object, in this case a logistic regression model, and specifies a starting threshold term (psi). I believe this is an environment problem, but I do not have a solution. Any assistance

Dear R-List users, Can anyone explain exactly the difference between Weights options in lm glm and gls? I try the following codes, but the results are different. > lm1 Call: lm(formula = y ~ x) Coefficients: (Intercept) x 0.1183 7.3075 > lm2 Call: lm(formula = y ~ x, weights = W) Coefficients: (Intercept) x 0.04193 7.30660 > lm3 Call:

Hello, I'm using R version 2.2.0 installed on windows XP machine, with SP2 (maybe it's also interesting to note it's laptop, so it outputs to a laptop screen) a l and I wanted to draw a line in a graph, but it does not seem to work. To test it I use the following code: x = c(-1,0,1) y = c(-1,0,1) plot(x,y, type="l", xlim=c(-1,1), ylim=c(-1,1)) lines(0) If I understand the

Hi all I'm getting a NaN returned on using dffits, as explained below. To me, there seems no obvious (or non-obvious reason for that matter) reason why a NaN appears. Before I start digging further, can anyone see why dffits might be failing? Is there a problem with the data? Consider: # Load data dep <-

Hi, Suppose I have a vector: > names.select [1] "Idd13" "Idd14" "Idd8.12" "Idd7" automatically generated by some selection criteria. Now, if I have a data frame with many variables, of which the variables in "names.select" are also variables from the data frame. e.g. > all.df[1:5,] Mouse Idd5 Idd6.19.20 Idd13 Idd14 Idd8.12

Dear R-users When running a glm polynomial model with one explanatory variable (example Y~X+X^2), with a poisson or binomial error distribution, the predicted values obtained from using the predict() function and those obtained from using the coefficients from the summary table "as is" in an equation of the form Y=INTERCEPT+ XCoef x X + XCoef x X^2, differ considerably. The former are

Hi i would like to use some graphs or tables to explore the data and make some sensible guesses of what to expect to see in a glm model to assess if toxin concentration and sex have a relationship with the kill rate of rats. But i cant seem to work it out as i have two predictor variables~help?Thanks.:) Here's my data. >

I am using R 2.1.1 under Mac OS 10.3.9. Two related problems (see notes 1. and 2. below) are illustrated by results of the following: y <- rnorm(10) x <- z <- 1:10 is.na(x[9]) <- TRUE lm0 <- lm(y ~ 1) lm1 <- lm(y ~ 1, weights = rep(1, 10)) add1(lm0, scope = ~ x) ## works ok add1(lm1, scope = ~ x) ## error lm2 <- lm(y ~ 1, offset = 1:10) add1(lm0, scope = ~ z) ##

David, Thanks. The reason add1.lm (and drop1.lm) do not support offsets is that lm did not when they were written, and the person who added offsets to lm did not change them. (I do wish they had not added an offset arg and just used the formula as in S's glm.) That is easy to add. For the other point, some care is needed if 'x' is supplied and the upper scope reduces the number
