Let me modify my question about user-defined covariance structures for LME models: Can somebody tell me how I can see the code for the definition of the correlation structures that come with the NLME package. Specifically I like to see the code for the functions coef, corMatrix, and intialize for any of the pre-defined correlation structures, and use this as a template to define a new correlation

Dear All: I am trying to fit a special case of a 2-banded Toeplitz correlation structure. A 2-banded Toeplitz has ones on the diagonal, a correlation, RHO1, on the first off-diagonal, and a correlation, RHO2, on the second off-diagonal, with zeros on all subsequent off-diagonals.

Hi, I'm a new member here in the list. I am a graduate from University of Georgia. Recently in doing analysis using lme on a dataset, I found several questions: 1. How to express the equation when the correlation structure is very complicated. For exmaple, if the fixed is y(t)=0.03x1(t)+1.5x2(t)(I omitted "hat" and others). And the model with corARMA(p=2,q=3) is proper. What will be

Dear all, I am trying to define my own corStruct which is different from the classical one available in nlme. The structure of this correlation is given below. I am wondering to know how to continue with this structure by using specific functions (corMatrix, getCovariate, Initialize,...) in order to get a structure like corAR1, corSymm which will be working for my data. Thanks in advance.

Dear Madams/Sirs, Hello. I am using the gls function to specify an arma correlation during estimation in my model. The parameter values which I am sending the corARMA function are from a previous fit using arima. I have had some success with the method, however in other cases I get the following error from gls: "All parameters must be less than 1 in absolute value". None of

I am currently trying to get a "lme" analyses running to correct for the non-independence of residuals (using e.g. corAR1, corARMA) for a larger data set (>10000 obs) for an independent (lgeodisE) and dependent variable (gendis). Previous attempts using SAS failed. In addition we were told by SAS that our data set was too large to be handled by this procedure anyway (!!). SAS script

Trying following example from Pinheiro and Bates in order to fit an ARMA(1,1) model: library(nlme) fm1Ovary.lme<-lme(follicles~sin(2*pi*Time)+cos(*pi*Time),data=Ovary,random=p dDiag(~sin(2*pi*Time))) fm5Ovary.lme<-update(fm1Ovary.lme,corr=corARMA(p=1,q=1)) I get follwing error message: Error in "coef<-.corARMA"(`*tmp*`, value = c(62.3428455941166, 62.3428517930051 :

  Hola,   Por favor, ¿podríais indicarme qué recursos (librerías o ideas) pueden resultar de utilidad para crear un gráfico del estilo del de la figura 3.8 del siguiente link?   http://www.tsc.uvigo.es/BIO/Bioing/ChrLDoc3.html#3.5   Actualmente estoy utilizando funciones muy básicas y la verdad es que no me encuentro muy satisfecha con el resultado.   Muchas gracias.   Eva [[alternative HTML

Dear all I am tryiing to fit the following lme with an ARMA correlation structure: test <- lme(fixed=fev1f~year, random=~1|id2, data=pheno2, correlation=corARMA(value=0.2, form=~year|id2), na.action=na.omit) But I get the following error message: Error in getGroupsFormula.default(correlation, asList = TRUE) : "Form" argument must be a formula I have used this same form

Hi R-sters, Just wondering what I might be doing wrong. I'm trying to fit a multiple linear regression model, and being ever mindful about the possibilities of autocorrelation in the errors (it's a time series), the errors appear to follow an AR1 process (ar(ts(glsfit$residuals)) selected order 1). So, when I go back and try to do the simultaneous regression and error fit with gls,

I have a data analysis job for which lme may be used. Prof. Spencer Graves had helped me much on that. I'm really appreciated for that. Could anybody else in the list give me some hints from other perspectives? I hope I can learn as much as possible for this complicated real data. Thanks in advance.

Dear R-help, I don't understand why Gls gives me an error when trying to fit a model with AR(2) errors, while gls (from nlme) does not. For example: library(nlme) library(rms) set.seed(1) d <- data.frame(x = rnorm(50), y = rnorm(50)) gls(y ~ x, data=d, correlation = corARMA(p=2)) #This works Gls(y ~ x, data=d, correlation = corARMA(p=2)) # Gives error # Error in

Hi all, I am trying to set up a simple path analysis in the SEM package, but I am having some trouble. I keep getting the following error message or something similar with my model, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong: Error in solve.default(C) : system is computationally singular: reciprocal condition number = 2.2449e-20 In addition: Warning message: In sem.default(ram = ram, S = S,

Dear Friends, I am seeking for any help on an error message in lme functions. I use mixed model to analyze a data with compound symmetric correlation structure. But I get an error message: "Error in corMatrix.corCompSymm(object) : NA/NaN/Inf in foreign function call (arg 1)". If I change the correlation structure to corAR1, then no error. I have no clue how to solve this problem.

Dear All: I updated my R program as well as associated packages yesterday. Currently my R version is 2.2.1 running under WINXP SP-2. When I tried to list (summary) an nlme object that I developed before, I got the following error message: [ Error in .C("ARMA_constCoef", as.integer(attr(object, "p")), as.integer(attr(object, : C entry point "ARMA_constCoef"

Hi, I have been using the function lme() of the package nlme to model grouped data that is auto-correlated in time and in space (the data was collected on different days via a moving monitor). I am aware that I can use the correlation classes corCAR1 and corExp (among other options) to model the temporal and spatial components of the auto-correlation. However, as far as I can tell, I can only

Hi, I am trying out a generalized least squares method of forecasting that corrects for autocorrelation. I downloaded daily stock data from Yahoo Finance, and am trying to predict Close (n=7903). I have learned to use date functions to extract indicator variables for Monday - Friday (and Friday is missing in the model to prevent it from becoming full rank). When I run the following code...
