similar to: F distribution from lme()?

Dear all, Using the data set and code below, I am interested in modelling how egg temperature (egg.temp) is related to energy expenditure (kjday) and clutch size (treat) in incubating birds using the lme-function. I wish to generate the F-distribution for my model, and have tried to do so using the anova()-function. However, in the resulting anova-table, the parameter kjday has gone from

Hello all, I'm an R novice, recently trying to implement R in my research. Using the data frame below, I want to construct a repeated measures model, with energy expenditure (kjday) as dependent of treatment (code) using mass as a covariate. ind mass kjday code 79 15.8 45.216 3 42 16.5 44.64 3 10 14.85 45.216 3 206 15.75 45.216 3 23 12.15 42.336 3 5 14.6 51.264 3 .... 79 16.9

Hello together, I am an absolute noob in R and therefore I need help urgently. I have received a script from my tutor with plot functions in it. However, I can' manage to adapt these plots. The hole script is as follows: setwd("E:/") ##### (1) Read data ### dat <- read.table("Komfort_Tatsaechliche_ID_Versuchsreihe_1.txt", header=TRUE, sep="\t",

I've posted the following to R-help on May 15. It has reproducible R code for real data -- and a real (academic, i.e unpaid) consultion background. I'd be glad for some insight here, mainly not for myself. In the mean time, we've learned that it is to be expected for anova(*, "marginal") to be contrast dependent, but still are glad for advice if you have experience. Thank

I'm starting to understand fixed and random effects, but I'm puzzled a bit. Here is an example from Hays's textbook (which is great at explaining fixed vs. random effects, at least to dummies like me), from the section on mixed models. You need library(nlme) in order to run it. ------ task <- gl(3,2,36) # Three tasks, a fixed effect. subj <- gl(6,6,36) # Six subjects, a random

Hello all, I need a help. I am modeling a disease and a create a R function like that: Lambda<-function (x,date1,r,h,a){ ndate1 <- as.Date(date1, "%d/%m/%Y") t1 <- as.numeric(ndate1) x[order(x$i),] t <-x[,"t"] i <-x[,"i"] CONTAGIEUX <-x[,"CONTAGIEUX"] while ( t1 < min(t) ){ for (i in 1:length(i) ){ {for (j in

Hi, I am having trouble using the lme function to perform a nested ANOVA with a random nested factor. My design is as follows: Location (n=6) (Random) Site nested within each Location (n=12) (2 Sites nested within each Location) (Random) Dependent variable: sp (species abundance) By using the aov function I can generate a nested ANOVA, however this assumes that my nested

Dear R-Community! The example "oats" in MASS (2nd edition, 10.3, p.309) is calculated for aov and lme without interaction term and the results are the same. But I have problems to reproduce the example aov with interaction in MASS (10.2, p.301) with lme. Here the script: library(MASS) library(nlme) options(contrasts = c("contr.treatment", "contr.poly")) # aov: Y ~

Hi I try to implement a simple 2-factorial repeated-measure anova in the lme framework and would be grateful for a short feedback -my dependent var is a reaction-time (rt), -as dependent var I have -the age-group (0/1) the subject belongs to (so this is a between-subject factor), and -two WITHIN experimental conditions, one (angle) having 5, the other 3 (hands) factor-levels;

Dear friends of lme, After so many year with lme, I feel ashamed that I cannot get this to work. Maybe it's a syntax problem, but possibly a lack of understanding. We have growth curves of new dental bone that can well be modeled by a linear growth curve, for two different treatments and several subjects as random parameter. By definition, newbone is zero at t=0, so I tried to force the

Dear Thomas Lumley, and R-help list members, I have read your article "Network meta-analysis for indirect treatment comparisons" (Statist Med, 2002) with great interest. I found it very helpful that you included the R code to replicate your analysis; however, I have had a problem replicating your example and wondered if you are able to give me a hint. When I use the code from the

Hi, I'm confused about how to specify random and fixed factors in an aov() term. I tried to reproduce a textbook example: One fixed factor (Game, 4 levels) and one random factor (Store, 12 levels), response is Points. The random factor Store is nested in Game. I tried > str(kh.df) `data.frame': 48 obs. of 4 variables: $ Subj : Factor w/ 48 levels

Hello R Users, I am investigating the basic use of the LME function, using the following example; Response is Weight, covariate is Age, random factor is Genotype model.lme <- lme (Weight~Age, random=~ 1|Genotype) After summary(model.lme), I find that the estimate of Age is 0.098 with p=0.758. I am comparing the above model with the AOV function; model.aov <- aov (Weight~Age + Genotype)

Dear members, I would like to switch from nlme to lme4 and try to translate some of my models that worked fine with lme. I have problems with the pdMat classes. Below a toy dataset with a fixed effect F and a random effect R. I gave also 2 similar lme models. The one containing pdLogChol (lme1) is easy to translate (as it is an explicit notation of the default model) The more parsimonious

Hi List I'm running a series of mixed models using lme, and I wonder if there is a way to sort them by AIC prior to testing using anova (lme1,lme2,lme3,....lme7) other than by hand. My current output looks like this. anova (lme.T97NULL.ml,lme.T97FULL.ml,lme.T97NOINT.ml,lme.T972way.ml,lme.T97fc. ml, lme.T97ns.ml, lme.T97min.ml) Model df AIC BIC logLik

R2.2 for WinXP, Splus 6.2.1 for HP 9000 Series, HP-UX 11.0. I am trying to get a handle on why the same lme( ) code gives such different answers. My output makes me wonder if the fact that the UNIX box is 64 bits is the reason. The estimated random effects are identical, but the fixed effects are very different. Here is my R code and output, with some columns and rows deleted for space

Hi, I applied a linear mixed effect model in my data using the nlme package. lme2<-lme(distance~temperature*condition, random=~+1|trial, data) and then anova. I want to ask if it is posible to get the least squares means for the interaction effect and the corresponding 95%ci. And then plot this values. Thank you Panagiotis -- View this message in context:

Dear R users, Does anyone knows how to run a glmm with one fixed factor and 2 random numeric variables (indices)? Is there any way to force in the model a separate interaction of those random variables with the fixed one? I hope you can help me. #eg. Reserve <- rep(c("In","Out"), 100) fReserve <- factor(Reserve) DivBoulders <- rep

I just had a manuscript returned with the biggest problem being the analysis. Instead of using principal components in a regression I've been asked to analyze a few variables separately. So that's what I'm doing. I pulled a feather from young birds and we quantified certain aspects of the color of those feathers. Since I often have more than one sample from a nest, I thought I
