What does missInfo compute and how is it computed? There is only 1 observation missing the ethnic3 variable. There is no other missing data. N=1409 > summary(MIcombine(mod1)) Multiple imputation results: with(rt.imp, glm(G1 ~ stdage + female + as.factor(ethnic3) + u, family = binomial())) MIcombine.default(mod1) results se (lower upper)

Hi, I am a long time SPSS user but new to R, so please bear with me if my questions seem to be too basic for you guys. I am trying to figure out how to analyze survey data using logistic regression with multiple imputation. I have a survey data of about 200,000 cases and I am trying to predict the odds ratio of a dependent variable using 6 categorical independent variables (dummy-coded).

R-helpers: I am using R 2.5 on Windows XP, packages all up to date. I have run into an issue with the MIcombine function of the mitools package that I hoped some of you might be able to help with. I will work through a reproducible example to demonstrate the issue. First, make a dataset from the pbc dataset in the survival package --------------- # Make a dataset library(survival) d <-

Hi, I am running R2.8.1 under Linux, and I am having trouble using the variance functions in nlme My basic model was something like: model0 <- lme( log(growth) ~ light * species.group , data=data, random=~light|species ) # with 20 odd species divided in 2 groups Following the methods in Pinheiro&Bates I tried to put a variance function in the model: model1 <- update(model0,

R-users & helpers: I am using Amelia, mitools and cmprsk to fit cumulative incidence curves to multiply imputed datasets. The error message that I get "Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : invalid 'envir' argument" occurs when I try to fit models to the 50 imputed datasets using the "with.imputationList" function of mitools. The problem seems to occur

Hi all, I am trying to use the functions in the plm package with multiply imputed datasets. I had tried to combine the datasets using the imputationList() function of mitools. plm, however, requires a data argument, and I don't know where to point it to. I'd appreciate any help people might have. A (possible) fuller description of the problem and code is in a previous

Hello, I have a problem concerning logistic regressions. When I add a quadratic term to my linear model, I cannot draw the line through my scatterplot anymore, which is no problem without the quadratic term. In this example my binary response variable is "incidence", the explanatory variable is "sun": > model0<-glm(incidence~1,binomial) >

Hi, how can I change the significance level in test F to select variable in step command? I used step(model0, ~x1+x2+x3+x4, direction=c("forward"), test='F', alpha=.05) but it does't work. -------------------------------------- Silvano Cesar da Costa Departamento de Estat?stica Universidade Estadual de Londrina Fone: 3371-4346

1. The function "KalmanLike" seems to change its inputs AND PREVIOUSLY MADE copies of the inputs. Consider the following (using R 2.1.0 patched under Windows XP): > Fig2.1 <- StructTS(x=Nile, type="level") > unlist(Fig2.1$model0[2:3]) a P 1120 286379470 > tst2 <- tst <- Fig2.1$model0 > tst23 <- tst[2:3] > tst23u <-

R 2.2.0 windows XP I am beginning to explore the mitools package contributed by Thomas Lumley (thank you Thomas) and I have a few questions: (1) In the examples given in the mitools documentation, the only family argument used is family=binomial. Does the package support family=gaussian and other link functions? I ran the with function with family=gaussian and I obtained results, but I am not

Hi all: My data has 3 variables: age(3levels : <30y=1 30-50y=2, >50y=3) gender(Male=0, Female=1) CD4 cell count(raw lab measurement) y(1:death 0:alive) I perform logistic regression to find out the factors that influence y. result<-glm(y ~ factor(age) + factor(gender) + CD4,family = binomial) >From the result,I can get OR(Odds Ratio) of gender via exp(Estimate of Female,

Hi folks, I have five imputed data sets and would like to apply the same recoding routines to each. I could do this sort of thing pretty easily in Stata using MIM, but I've decided to go cold turkey on other stats packages as a incentive for learning more about R. Most of the recoding is for nominal variables, like race, religion, urbanicity, and the like. So, for example, to recode race

Is it possible to create a database in MySQL via RMySQL? Also, is the format for the authorization field 'userName/password at databasename'? I saw an example like this somewhere in the documenation, but I haven't found the actual specification. Thanks, Barnet Wagman

Dear all, In a greenhouse experiment we tested performance of 4 different species (B,H,P,R) under 3 different water levels in 10 replications. As response variable e.g. the number of emerging sprouts were measured on three dates. A simple Anova considering every measurement date separately shows a higly significant effect of species and moisture (and partly the interaction of both). The

Hi all, I am hardly an expert, so I expect that this code is not the easiest/ most efficient way of getting where I want. Any suggestions in that direction would also be helpful. I am working on panel analysis with five imputed datasets, generated by Amelia. To do panel analysis, it seemed that the plm package was the best, providing a convenient wrapper for fixed and random effects

Hi all, Here is my problem: I performed bioassays using a unique insecticide on 9 different genotypes and got their mortality depending on the dose of insecticide used. Now, I want to see wether some genotypes are different or not in their responses to insecticide. My problem is that I have up to four replicates for some genotypes, but only one for other... Due to this unbalanced design, I

Hello All, I am looking for an R library/function that allows the specification of a custom link function in a linear mixed model. I've been using glm() in library MASS to fit fixed-effect models with a custom link but my study design demands mixed models. Any suggestions on the best R library/function to achieve this would be greatly appreciated. I have tried, to no avail, to

I am struggling to generate p values for comparisons of levels (post-hoc tests) in a glm with a negative binomial distribution I am trying to compare cell counts on different days as grown on different media (e.g. types of cryogel) so I have 2 explanatory variables (Day and Cryogel), which are both factors, and an over-dispersed count variable (number of cells) as the response. I know that both

hi, people How can we compare two probit models brought out from the same data? Let me use the example used in "An Introduction to R". "Consider a small, artificial example, from Silvey (1970). On the Aegean island of Kalythos the male inhabitants suffer from a congenital eye disease, the effects of which become more marked with increasing age. Samples of islander males

I'm stumbling my way through manipulating data in multiply imputed datasets, and have run into a problem translating code I used to run on my pre-imputed dataset to multiple datasets. The imputation runs just fine, as does the reading of the mi data sets into an imputationList. I run into trouble, though, when I try to construct a scale across all the data sets. Is there a simple way to do
