Dear all, I need to fit a gee model with an auto-regressive correlation structure and I faced some problems. I attach a simple example: ####################################################### library(gee) library(geepack) # I SIMULATE DATA FROM POISSON DISTRIBUTION, 10 OBS FOR EACH OF 50 GROUPS set.seed(1) y <- rpois(500,50) x <- rnorm(500) id <- rep(1:50,each=10) # EXAMPLES FOR

Dear list, I have this problem, please your advice. I have list A that contains two matrix elements: [[1]] a b [1,] 2 1 [2,] 3 2 [3,] 3 2 [[2]] c d [1,] 3 5 [2,] 3 1 [3,] 2 3 and list B, that also contains 2 matrices: [[1]] e f g [1,] 1 20 30 [2,] 2 40 50 [3,] 3 60 70 [4,] 4 80 90 [5,] 5 100 110 [[2]] h i j [1,] 1 10 20 [2,] 2 20 30 [3,] 3 30 40 [4,] 4 40 50

Dear List: I found an error when I called the 'gee' function. I cannot solve and explain it. There are no errors when I used the 'geeglm' function. Both functions fit the gee model. The project supervisor recommends me to use the 'gee' function. But I cannot explain to him why this error happens. Would you help me solve this problem? I appreciate your help. In

I'm not sure if the gee package is still actively maintained, but I for one find it extremely useful. However, I've come across a few infelicities that I'm hoping could be resolved for future versions. Hope it's okay to list them all in one post! They are: (1) AR(1) models don't fit when clustsize = 1 for any subject, even if some subjects have clustsize > 1. (2) If the

Dear all: Y=a+bX1+cX2 In the Gee (Generalized Estimation Equation) arguments: The arument Corstr has sveral choices: "independence" "fixed" "stat_M_dep" "non_stat_M_dep" "exchangeable" "AR-M" "unstructured" What does each term mean? How do I choose among them? How do I know the correlation structure of

I am having some difficulties to locate the standard error from GEE output. -----------sample output using list (geemodel)------------------------ Link: Identity Variance to Mean Relation: Gaussian Correlation Structure: Exchangeable Call: gee(formula = days.sick1 ~ bmi + age + gender + surveyround2 + surveyround3, id = childid, data = dat, family = gaussian,

Does anyone know how could I get the significant codes from mixed model output fitted with a GEE package? The output I got is the following: GEE: GENERALIZED LINEAR MODELS FOR DEPENDENT DATA gee S-function, version 4.13 modified 98/01/27 (1998) Model: Link: Logit Variance to Mean Relation: Binomial Correlation Structure: Exchangeable Call: gee(formula = bru

Dear R-helpers, I am using the package "gee" to run a marginal model. Here is the output. In my simulated data, both x and z are time-varying, so I include their interaction terms with time indicator (i.e. tind=0, if time 1, and 1 if time 2) The data is simulated, so the true parameter of z both at time 1 and time 2 is 5, which is very close from the model output for time 1, z =

I'm running some GEE models but when I request the summary(pcb.gee) all I get are rows and rows of intercorelations and they fill up the screen buffer so I can not even scroll back to see what else might be in the summary. How do I get the summary function to NOT print the intercorrelations? Thanks, -- Dean Sonneborn Programmer Analyst Department of Public Health Sciences University of

I am trying to use gee() to calculate the robust standard errors for a logit model. My dataset (zol) has 195019 observations; winner, racebl, raceas, racehi are all binary variables. ID is saved as a vector of length 195019 with alternating 0's and 1's. I get the following error message. I also tried the same command with corstr set to "independence" and got the same

Hi A quick question. Standard errors reported by gee/yags differs from the ones in geeglm (geepack). require(gee) require(geepack) require(yags) mm <- gee(breaks ~ tension, id=wool, data=warpbreaks, corstr="exchangeable") mm2 <- geeglm(breaks ~ tension, id=wool, data=warpbreaks, corstr="exchangeable", std.err = "san.se") mm3 <- yags(breaks ~

Hi all, I have a dataset in which the output Y is observed on two groups of patients (treatment factor T with 2 levels). Every subject in each group is observed three times (not time points but just technical replication). I am interested in estimating the treatment effect and take into account the fact that I have repeated measurements for every subject. If I do this with repeated measures

Dear all, I am working on modifying the R working matrix to commodate some other correlations that not included in the package. I am having problem to locate where the R matrix are defined for regular matrices, i.e. independence, exchangeable, AR and unstructure. it might have something within .C("Cgee",but don't understand it well enough to know. Can you anyone help? /*gee source

Dear all, Is it possible to incorporate a nested design in GEE? I have measurements on trees that where measured in two years. The trees are nested in plots. Each plot contains 24 trees. The number of plots is 72. Hence we would expect 2 * 24 * 72 = 3456 data points. A few are missing, so we end up wih 3431 data points. This is what I have tried until now. #assuming independence between trees

I have included data at the bottom of this email. It can be read in by highlighting the data and then using this command: dat <- read.table("clipboard", header = TRUE,sep="\t") I can obtain solutions with both of these: library(gee) fit.gee<-gee(score ~ chem + time, id=id, family=gaussian,corstr="exchangeable",data=dat) and library(yags) fit.yags <-

Hello, I want to fit a GEE with a user-defined link function. For the user-defined link-function I still read http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp01/archive/6555.html and http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/25727.html. Only for testing purposes I added a new link function (corlogit) in make.link (as well as in binomial) with exactly the same code as logit before using my code.

I'm using the function gee from the library(gee) gee(Y~X,id=clust.id,corstr="exchangeable",b=tmc$coef,family=binomial(link=logit),silent=T) Every time it runs, it dutifully prints out Beginning Cgee S-function, @(#) geeformula.q 4.13 98/01/27 user's initial regression estimate [,1] [1,] -4.5278335 [2,] -0.2737999 [3,] -0.9528306 [4,] 0.9393861 [5,]

Hello Fellow R Users,I have spent the last week trying to find a work around to this problem and I can't seem to solve it. I simply want to plot my GEE model result with 95% confidence bands. I am using the geepack package to run a basic GEE model involving nestling weights, to a Gaussian distribution, with "exchangeable" error structure. I am examining how nestling weight varies

We are currently analyzing data on children clustered in day care-centers (DCC). We have tried to use geepack and gee libraries to estimate an overall incidence rate for absences (=number of absences/risk time) by specifying geese(number.absences ~ offset(log(risktime)), id=day.care.id, family=poisson("log"), data=dcc, corstr="exch",

Dear all, It looks like the parameters var-cov matrix returned by gee() is not adjusted for the scale parameter: > fm1 <- gee(nbtrp ~ strate * saison + offset(log(surf)), family = poisson, data = Eff2001, + id = loc, tol = 1e-10, corstr = "exchangeable") [1] "Beginning Cgee S-function, @(#) geeformula.q 4.13 98/01/27" [1] "running glm to get initial
