similar to: Cholmod error `matrix not positive definite'

Dear R-users, I am currently trying to switch from SAS to R, and am not very familiar with R yet, so forgive me if this question is irrelevant. If I try to find the significance of the fixed factor "spikes" in a generalized linear mixed model, with "site" nested within "zone" as a random factor, I compare following two models with the anova function:

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):

Hi, I am getting a warning message when I am fitting a generalized linear mixed model (m1.2 below).

I have a pretty large sparse matrix of integers: > dim(tasa) [1] 91650 37651 I need to add one to it in order to take logs, but I'm getting the following error: > tasa = log(tasa + 1) CHOLMOD error: problem too large Error in asMethod(object) : Cholmod error `problem too large' I have 2 Gb of RAM, and the current workspace is barely 300mb. Is there any workaround to this?

Hello, I have been attempting to run a poisson glmm using lme4 for some time now and have had a lot of trouble. I would say 9 times out of 10 I receive the following warning: CHOLMOD warning: %h Error in mer_finalize(ans) : Cholmod error `not positive definite' at file:../Cholesky/t_cholmod_rowfac.c, line 432 My data are counts of microbe colony forming units (CFUs) collected from

Hi, I am getting a warning message when I am fitting a generalized mixed model (mod_2) and I don't understand why because when I add just an interaction factor the model works perfectly (mod_1). Does anyone know what it happpens ? Thanks, Aïda   > mod_1<-lmer(sur15~soeviv15_4plus+frviv15_4plus+frat_15death+dad_class_new+soeviv15_4plus:dad_class_new +frviv15_4plus:dad_class_new+

Hi I am running some linear and non-linear mixed effect models and would like to do some planned contrasts (a priori contrasts) I have looked in the help and in many forums and it seems possible to do so but don't understand how to write the function and I couldn't find an example in Pinheiro and Bates. lme {nlme} has a contrasts argument but I can't understand how to code it.

Seems the message below and the thread have reveived no attention/answer. The output presented is quite tricky. Looks like if lmer (lme4 0.9975-10) has accepted a negative binomial link with reasonable estimates, although it was not designed for... What can one think about result validity ?

Dear all, I ran the following model without any problem previously to the update of lme4: fm2<-lmer(data=NGud,family=poisson, seed~hab*seedtray +(1|site)+(1|site:hab)) I have 25 sites, 2 habitats ("hab") per site, 8 seedtrays per habitat (4 as control, and 4 as treatment), and I'm interested in comparing the number of seed in seedtrays as a function of the treatment and its

Hi there, I've been wanting to fit a GLMM and I'm not completely sure I'm doing things right. As I said in a previous message my response variable is continuous with many zeros, so I was having a hard time finding an appropriate error distribution. I read some previous help mails given to other people advising them to use the Tweedie distribution. I'm still not sure if this

Hi R-help citizens, I'm having trouble making version 0.99-6 of Matrix on FreeBSD 6.0.

Hi all, I have trouble to compile Matrix packages on Solar10 x86-64 with Sun compilers. I saw some postings on this but am not sure how to solve this problem. It is becoming critical as I cannot install biocLite() because of its dependency on Matrix. Could you direct me how to resolve the issue? Thanks in advance!

Hi: I was trying to use apply on a sparse matrix from package Matrix, and I get the error: Error in asMethod(object) : Cholmod error 'problem too large' at file ../Core/cholmod_dense.c, line 106 Is there a way to apply a function to all the rows without bumping into this problem?

Dear R-devel members, I am looking for a fast Cholesky update/downdate. The matrix A being symmetric positive definite (n, n) and factorized as A = L %*% t(L), the goal is to factor the new matrix A +- C %*% t(C) where C is (n, r). For instance, C is 1-column when adding/removing an observation in a linear regression. Of special interest is the case where A is sparse. Looking at the
