I'm getting some odd results computing log-likelihoods with gls using splines with increasing degrees of freedom -- the deviance *increases* substantially with increasing df. (Since spline models with increasing df aren't nested, it need not decline monotonically but I would expect it to have a decreasing trend!) I may just be confused, but I *think* the issue is somewhere within the

Hi: I have data from an assay in the form of two vectors, one is response and the other is a predictor. When I attempt to fit a 5 parameter logistic model with "nls", I get converged parameter estimates. I also get the same answers with "gnls" without specifying the "weights" argument. However, when I attempt to use the "gnls" function and try to

Hi Paul, Take a look at gam() from package mgcv (gam = generalized additive models), maybe this will help you. GAMs can work with other distributions as well. Generalized additive models consist of a random component, an additive component, and a link function relating these two components. The response Y, the random component, is assumed to have a density in the exponential family. I am not sure

Hi, I am not sure this is a bug but I can repeat it, The functions and data are below. I know this is nasty data, and it is very questionable whether a 4pl model is appropriate, but it is data fed to an automated tool and I would have hoped for an error. Does this repeat for anyone else? My details: > version _ platform i686-pc-linux-gnu

Hi all, I'm stuck trying to get syntax correct for the follwing type of loop. I would like to find the column with the largest value in a given row, and create a new column with a categorical variable indicating which column the highest value of "i" comes from. too=data.frame(A=rnorm(10,1),B=rnorm(10,2),C=rnorm(10,1.5)) too$large=0 too$large=for (i in 1:length(too[,c(1,2,3)]))

Dear all, How can I extract the total and residual d.f. from a gnls object? I have tried str(summary(gnls.model)) and str(gnls.model) as well as gnls(), but couldn?t find the entry in the resulting lists. Many thanks! Best wishes Christoph -- Dr. rer.nat.

I am trying to analyse a data with gls/lm using the following set of models prcn.0.lm <- lm( log10(Y)~(cond-1)+(cond-1):t ,prcn) prcn.1.gls <- gls( log10(Y)~(cond-1)+(cond-1):t ,prcn,cor=corAR1()) prcn.0.gls <- gls( log10(Y)~(cond-1)+(cond-1):t ,prcn) prcn.1m.gls <- gls( log10(Y)~(cond-1)+(cond-1):t ,prcn,cor=corAR1(),method="ML") I get the following AICs for these models:

Hello listmembers, I've been thinking of using gls in the nlme package to test for serial correlation in my data set. I've simulated a sample data set and have found a large discrepancy in the results I get when using the default method REML vs. ML. The data set involves a response that is measured twice a day (once for each level of a treatment factor). In my simulated data set, I

Dear R developers, recently I have written a wishlist bug report for nlme containing a patch that adds the variance function structure s2(v) = t1^2 + t2^2*v^2 where v denotes the variance covariate, s2(v) denotes the variance function evaluated at v, and t, t1 and t2 are the variance function coefficients. The covariate can also be the fitted response. The idea that the residual variance

Hi all, I'm searching for a little clarification on partial mantel tests (ecodist package) I've a distance matrix (x,y), and several others containing environmental/chemical variables. Based on the help file, and the package instructions I've managed to implement the tests as; var1 ~ env1 + space to partial out the effect of space and test the relationship between the

Dear all, I have been using the function gls in the package nlme in R to fit some spatial regressions (as described in Dormann et al.). However, I have been struggling trying to find a way to calculate a measure of effect size from these models, so I wanted to know if any of you had an idea on how to do this. More precisely, I am producing a multiple model with an exponential correlation

Dear all, I am confused. I have encountered some strange behaviour of gls > data(co2) > co2.y <- aggregate(co2,1,mean) > co2.y.data <- data.frame(co2=as.numeric(co2.y),year=seq(1959-1980,along=co2.y)) > co2.1.gls <- gls(co2~year+I(year^2), co2.y.data) > co2.2.gls <- update(CO2.1.gls, corr=corAR1()) > summary(CO2.2.gls) > plot(CO2.2.gls) plot shows standardized

Hi, r-users I got a problem when I try to call a *gls* function in loop structure. The gls function seems not able to recognize the parameters that I pass into the loop function! (But, if I use lm function, it works.) The code looks like this: ================================================= gls.lm <- function(Data, iv1, dv1) { gls.model <- gls(Data[ , dv1] ~ Data[ , iv1], correlation =

There is a bug in 'anova.gls' in the 'nlme' package (3.1-90). The=20 bug is triggered by calling the function with a single 'gls' object=20 and specifying the 'Terms' argument but not the 'L' argument: > library(nlme) > fm1Orth.gls <- gls(distance ~ Sex * I(age - 11), Orthodont, + correlation =3D corSymm(form =3D ~ 1 |

Dear gls-experts, while reading and testing some examples of the book "introductionary time series analysis with R", I encountered the following fact which puzzles me. Confidence intervals for global temperature time series (P99) computed from general least squares (GLS) to fit the time series. I repeat the example from the book and get the same results: temp.gls=gls(temp ~

Dear All, I would like to be able to estimate confidence intervals for a linear combination of coefficients for a GLS model. I am familiar with John Foxton's helpful paper on Time Series Regression and Generalised Least Squares (GLS) and have learnt a bit about the gls function. I have downloaded the gmodels package so I can use the estimable function. The estimable function is very

Dear List: I am having some trouble reproducing some GLS estimates using matrix operations that I am not having with other R procedures. Here are some sample data to see what I am doing along with all code: mu<-c(100,150,200,250) Sigma<-matrix(c(400,80,16,3.2,80,400,80,16,16,80,400,80,3.2,16,80,400),n c=4) sample.size<-100 temp <-

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 I have a huge array with series of data. For each cell in the array I fit a linear model, either using lm() or gls() with lm() there is no problem, but with gls() I get an error: Error in glsEstimate(glsSt, control = glsEstControl) : computed gls fit is singular, rank 2 as soon as there are data like this: > y1 <- c(0,0,0,0) > x1 <- c(0,1,1.3,0) > gls(y1~x1)

Dear Rers, I have threes series, x, y, z and I want to fit a model z ~ x + y. First of all, I fit a lm. I found the residuals are correlated, by looking at the acf() and pacf(). Then I tried to fit a gls model allowing residuals to be correlated (correlation = corARMA(p=5, q=1)): y.na <- as.data.frame(y[complete.cases(y),]) y.gls <- gls(z ~ x + y, data = y.na, correlation=corARMA(p=5,
