similar to: Using lmer with huge amount of data

After many months, I am now banging my head against the wall because I can't find a solution to this seemingly trivial problem.  Any help would be appreciated: I am trying to apply a nonlinear fitting routine to a 3D MR image on a voxel-by-voxel basis.  I've tested the routine using simulated data and things went well.  As for the real data, the fitting routine

Dear "R" users, I have a question about the Package DierckxSpline. I have tried to find the answer by myself but it didn't worked out. I wondered if Dierckxspline can use different sets of y values in one time to fit a line with knot. I have different sets of Y values representing the same thing for different voxels (in an fmri image). I have already fitted the data in different

I haven't been able to find an answer on this that's direct, only implied. In several places I have read that when people asked for sphericity tests they were guided toward lme or mlm models. But, there is no direct indication that the lme method is not subject to the sphericity assumption. In fact, it seems like it should be. Its just a linear model that handles random and

Hi everyone, I'm not exactly sure how to ask this question most clearly, but I hope that giving the context in which it occurs for me will help: I'm trying to compare the brain images of two patient populations; each image is composed of voxels (the 3D analogue of pixels), and I have two images per patient, one reflecting grey matter concentration at each voxel, and the other reflecting

Dear R Masters, I'm an anesthesiology resident trying to make his way through basic statistics. Recently I have been confronted with longitudinal data in a treatment vs. control analysis. My dataframe is in the form of: subj | group | baseline | time | outcome (long) or subj | group | baseline | time1 |...| time6 | (wide) The measured variable is a continuous one. The null hypothesis in

Dear List, I am trying to analyze a dataset where I have 1 continuous between-item variable (C), and 2 factorial within-item variables (3- and 2-level: F3, F2). I'm interested in whether slope of C is different from 0 at different combinations of F3 and F2, and whether it varies between these combinations. And unfortunately I need a decent anova-like table with p-values. The reason is that

Dear colleagues, I have an image which I can display in the greyscale using image. On this image, for some pixels, which I know, I want to display their activity based on a third measure. One way to do that would be to color these differently, and use an opacity measure to display the third measure. An example of what I am trying to do is at:

I have 3 questions (below). Background: I am teaching an introductory statistics course in which we are covering (among other things) repeated measures anova. This time around teaching it, we are using R for all of our computations. We are starting by covering the univariate approach to repeated measures anova. Doing a basic repeated measures anova (univariate approach) using aov() seems

[corrected dataset below] Hello everyone, I am trying to do within subjects repeated measures anova followed by the test of sphericity (sample dataset below). I am able to get either mixed model or linear model anova and TukeyHSD, but have no luck with Repeated-Measures Assuming Sphericity or Separate Sphericity Tests. I am trying to follow example from "car" package, but it seems

I'm an experimental psychologist and when I run ANOVA analysis in SPSS, I normally ask for a test of non-sphericity (Box's M-test). I also ask for output of the corrections for non-sphericity, such as Greenhouse-Geisser and Huhn-Feldt. These tests and correction factors are commonly used in the journals for experimental and other psychology reports. I have been switching from SPSS to R

To whom it may concern I made some analysis with R using the command Anova. However, I found some problmes with the output obtained by selecting type II o type III sum of squares. Briefly, I have to do a 2x3 mixed model anova, wherein the first factor is a between factor and the second factor is a within factor. I use the command Anova in the list below, because I want to obtain also the sum

Dear list, first apologies for this is not strictly an R question but a theoretical one. I have read that use of k-means clustering assumes sphericity of data distribution. Can anyone explain me what this means? My statistical background is too poor. Is it another kind of distribution, like gaussian or binomial? What does it happen if the distribution is not spherical? Could you give me an

suppose something like probability(passing test) is driven by 1. fixed effects -- sex 2. district effects - district funding 3. school effects - neighborhood income, racial composition, % two parent families, ... 4. class effects - teacher quality measurement, 5. individual random effects - IQ. how would such a model be setup in lmer? I can't find much discussion on the

I wonder if someone could explain the behavior of the anova() and lm() functions in the following situation: I have a standard 3x2 factorial design, factorA has 3 levels, factorB has 2 levels, they are fully crossed. I have a dependent variable DV. Of course I can do the following to get the usual anova table: > anova(lm(DV~factorA+factorB+factorA:factorB)) Analysis of Variance Table

Dear R-gurus: I have a question about lmer. Basically, I have a dataset, in which each observation records number of trials (N) and number of events (Y) given a covariate combination(X) and group id (grp_id). So, my dataset is in tabular form. (in case my explanation of tabular form is unclear, please see the link:

Hello Dear R user, I want to conduct a Principal components analysis and I need to run two tests to check whether I can do it or not. I found how to run the KMO test, however i cannot find an R fonction for the Bartlett's test of sphericity. Does somebody know if it exists? Thanks for your help!

Hi, my dependent variable is a proportion ("prob.bind"), and the independent variables are factors for group membership ("group") and a covariate ("capacity"). I am interested in the effects of group, capacity, and their interaction. Each subject is observed on all (4) levels of capacity (I use capacity as a covariate because the effect of this variable is normatively
