Dear listers, One of my former students is trying to fit a model of the negative binomial family with lmer. In the past (two years ago), the following call was working well: m1a<-lmer(mapos~ninter+saison+milieu*zone+(1|code),family=neg.bin(0.451),REML=TRUE,data=manu) But now (R version 2.9.2 and lme4 version 0.999375-32), that gives (even with the library MASS loaded):

Dear R-users, I'm new to R, so my apologies if this question doesn't make sense. I've tried the following model in lmer, and it works perfectly: model<-lmer(aphids~densroot+zone+(1|zone/site), family=quasipoisson) But if I try the exact same model with a different variable, totmas, the model looks as follows: model<-lmer(aphids~totmas+zone+(1|zone/site), family=quasipoisson)

Hi, I''m trying to create a method to return a random date within a range. So far, I''ve come up with this... require ''parsedate'' def random_date (a, b) adate = ParseDate.parsedate(a) bdate = ParseDate.parsedate(b) atime = Time.local(*adate) btime = Time.local(*bdate) atime + (rand * (atime - btime) ) end ...and it doesn''t seem to

I am updateding my LDAP presentation (ftp://kalamazoolinux.org/pub/pdf/ldapv3.pdf) to include a section on the Samba 2.2.x LDAP backend. But I can't find any definititive documentation on the "time" attributes: pwdLastChange, pwdMustChange. Either how the time is encoded or exactly what they mean. I've seen post saying they are hexidecimal (although they don't look it)

I''ve tried Time.parse() and DateTime.parse() but they interpret the date as US format. Is there any way to tell it to interpret as dd/mm/yyyy? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

hi, overhere users go nuts if they have to enter the date in iso format, so i have to make my applications in such a way that not only dates are displayed in the "dd-mm-yyy" format but also can be entered in that way. somewhere i found this code to put in the environment script: ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Time::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.update( :default => ''%d/%m/%Y

Hey All, Anyone know of a library for parsing "human" dates, like "this friday" or "2 days ago"? I used to use strtotime in php, but starting from here; http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/PhpStrtotime and doing lots of googling, I haven''t been able to find anything similar for ruby. I know of javascript solutions to this, but I''d need to do

I am currently running a generalized linear mixed effect model using glmer and I want to estimate how much of the variance is explained by my random factor. summary(glmer(cbind(female,male)~date+(1|dam),family=binomial,data= liz3")) Generalized linear mixed model fit by the Laplace approximation Formula: cbind(female, male) ~ date + (1 | dam) Data: liz3 AIC BIC logLik deviance 241.3

My application is built on Rails and MySQL. It will only be accepting US formatted dates as input, however both Rails and MySQL are oriented around ISO the format. I know I can convert a good portion of the entries using ParseDate::parsedate but it does not appear this is how the conversion is taking place when data is being transferred from the params hash into model members. Say I have a field

Hi, I''m having an issue with calling a function that I''ve defined in ApplicationHelper called format_time: module ApplicationHelper def format_time(time) time.strftime("%a %b %d, %I:%M%p") end end I use this function in my views to format the Time.now that I would have stored in my tables as a DATETIME. I''m able to use this function, without any

Does anyone know if a Ruby package has been written to handle functionality similar to php''s strtotime().

Any suggestions? Derek

Hi, I''m calling a helper I''ve written - format_time() that is called from my views with a given time that was selected from my database and was returned to the view via an instance variable. When I call format_time from a partial, I see that I get some kind of String error and the partial won''t render. Basically, the object being passed in to format_time is already a

line 212 of postgresql_adapter.rb is return Time.now.to_s if value =~ /^\(''now''::text\)::(date|timestamp)/ i don''t think this will work. in postgresql the field ''now'' is pinned to the SAME TIME for the duration of a transaction. eg. if you do begin transaction; insert into t values(42, ''now''); # sleep one minute
