similar to: Prediction confidence intervals for a Poisson GLM

Dear R users I have been looking for functions that can deal with overdispersed poisson models. Some (one) of the observations are negative. According to actuarial literature (England & Verall, Stochastic Claims Reserving in General Insurance , Institute of Actiuaries 2002) this can be handled through the use of quasi likelihoods instead of normal likelihoods. The presence of negatives is not

Hello r-help, I try to fit birds counts over years using glm. I have done (with Estate and year as factors): Model1 <- glm(Females~Estate+Year+offset = log(area)), family = quasipoisson(link = log), na.action = "na.exclude") After I have calculated the prediction using: Pred1 <- predict(Model1, type = "response", na.action = "na.exclude") My question

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 all, I'm using zeroinfl() from the pscl-package for zero inflated Poisson regression. I would like to calculate (aproximate) prediction intervals for the fitted values. The package itself does not provide them. Can this be calculated analyticaly? Or do I have to use bootstrap? What I tried until now is to use bootstrap to estimate these intervals. Any comments on the code are welcome.

Hello r-help, I'm trying to fit birds counts over years using glm. In fact I'm trying to reproduce an analysis already perform with genstat (attach document). I have done (with Estate and year as factors): Model1 <- glm(Females~Estate+Year+offset = log(area)), family = quasipoisson(link = log), na.action = "na.exclude") After I have calculated the prediction using: Pred1

I would like to know how R computes the probability of an event in a logistic model (P(y=1)) from the score s, linear combination of x and beta. I noticed that there are differences (small, less than e-16) between the fitting values automatically computed in the glm procedure by R, and the values "manually" computed by me applying the reverse formula p=e^s/(1+e^s); moreover I noticed

R-helpers, I am using the package "drc" to fit a 4 parameter logistic model. When I use the predict function to get prediction on a new dataset, I am not getting the requested confidence or prediction intervals. Any idea what is going on? Here is code to reproduce the problem: --- library(drc) # Fit model to existing dataset in package spinach.model <- drm(SLOPE~DOSE, data =

R gurus, I'm working on data analysis for a small project. My response variable is total vines per tree (median = 0, mean = 1.65, min = 0, max = 24). My predictors are two categorical variables (four sites and four species) and one continuous (tree diameter at breast height (DBH)). The main question I'm attempting to answer is whether or not the species identity of a tree has

Dear all, I am fitting a glm to count data using poison errors with the log link. My goal is to test for the significance of model terms by calling the anova function on two nested models following the recommendation in Michael Crawley's guide to Statistical Computing. Without going into too much detail, essentially, I have a small overdispersion problem (errors do not fit the poisson

Dear useRs, How could I obtain the confidence intervals for the means of my treatments, when my data was fitted to a GLM? I need the CI's for the Poisson and Negative Binomial distributions. Here's what I have: mydata1 <- data.frame('treatments'=gl(4,20), 'value'=rpois(80, 1)) model1 <- glm(value ~ treatments, data=mydata1, family=poisson) means1 <-

Dear all, For an introductory course on glm?s I would like to create an example to show the difference between glm and transformation of the response. For this, I tried to create a dataset where the variance increases with the mean (as is the case in many ecological datasets): poissondata=data.frame( response=rpois(40,1:40), explanatory=1:40) attach(poissondata) However, I have run into

Dear list, I am using glm's to predict count data for a fish species inside and outside a marine reserve for three different methods of monitoring. I run glms and figured out the best model using step function for each methods used. I predicted two values for my fish counts inside and outside the reserve using means of each of the covariates (using predict() ) therefore I have only one value

Hello R-help, According to a research article that covers the topic I'm analyzing, in Stata, a Poisson pseudo-maximum-likelihood (PPML) estimation can be obtained with the command poisson depvar_ij ln(indepvar1_ij) ln(indepvar2_ij) ... ln(indepvarN_ij), robust I looked up Stata help for the command, to understand syntax and such: www.stata.com/help.cgi?poisson Which simply says

Hi there, I have been having trouble running negative binomial regression (glm.nb) using library MASS in R v2.15.0 on Mac OSX. I am running multiple models on the variables influencing the group size of damselfish in coral reefs (count data). For total group size and two of my species, glm.nb is working great to deal with overdispersion in my count data. For two of my species, I am getting a

Hi all, This is partly a statistical question as well as a question about R, but I am stumped! I have count data from various sites across years. (Not all of the sites in the study appear in all years). Each site has its own habitat score "habitat" that remains constant across all years. I want to know if counts declined faster on sites with high "habitat" scores. I can

I would like to test in R what regression fits my data best. My dependent variable is a count, and has a lot of zeros. And I would need some help to determine what model and family to use (poisson or quasipoisson, or zero-inflated poisson regression), and how to test the assumptions. 1) Poisson Regression: as far as I understand, the strong assumption is that dependent variable mean = variance.

Dear all, I have a quasipoisson glm for which I need confidence bands in a graphic: gm6 <- glm(num_leaves ~ b_dist_min_new, family = quasipoisson, data = beva) summary(gm6) library('VIM') b_dist_min_new <- as.numeric(prepare(beva$dist_min, scaling="classical", transformation="logarithm")). My first steps for the solution are following: range(b_dist_min_new)

Dear R-list. I have done a logistic glm using Age as explanatory variable for some allergic event. #the model model2d<-glm(formula=AEorSAEInfecBac~Age,family=binomial("logit"),data=emrisk) #predictions for age 30 and 60 preds<-predict(model2d,data.frame(Age=c(30,60)),se.fit=TRUE) # prediction interval

Hello, I have a question about modelling via glm. I have a dataset (see dput) that looks like as if it where poisson distributed (actually I would appreciate that) but it isnt because mean unequals var. > mean (x) [1] 901.7827 > var (x) [1] 132439.3 Anyway, I tried to model it via poisson and quasipoisson. Actually, just to get an impression how glm works. But I dont know how to

Hi list, can anybody point me to the trick how glm is computing the dispersion parameter in quasi-poisson regression, eg. glm(...,family="quasipoisson")? Thanks &regards, Sven
