Dear Help List, Thanks in advance for reading...I hope my questions are not too ignorant. I have an experiment looking at evolution of wing size [centroid] in fruitflies and the effect of 6 different experimental treatments [treatment]. I have five replicate populations [replic] in each treatment and have reared the flies in two different temperatures [cond] to assay the wing size, making

Hello R users I like to extract z values for x1 and x2. I know how to extract coefficents using model$coef but I don't know how to extract z values for each of independent variable. I looked around using names(model) but I couldn't find how to extract z values. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks TM ######################################################### >summary(model) Call:

Dear All I am trying to do a repeated measures analysis using lmer and have a number of issues. I have non-orthogonal, unbalanced data. Count data was obtained over 10 months for three treatments, which were arranged into 6 blocks. Treatment is not nested in Block but crossed, as I originally designed an orthogonal, balanced experiment but subsequently lost a treatment from 2 blocks. My

Hi all I am preparing a document using Sweave; a really useful tool. But I am having a problem. Consider this toy example Sweave file: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} <<echo=TRUE,results=verbatim>>= options(width=40) # Set width to 40 characters hide <- capture.output(example(glm)) # Create an example of the problem, but hide the output summary(glm.D93) #

This is a basics beginner question. I attempted fitting a a Poisson GLM to data that is non-integer ( I believe Poisson is suitable in this case, because it is modelling counts of infections, but the data collected are all non-negative numbers with 2 decimal places). My question is, since R doesn't return an error with this glm fitting, is it important that the data is non-integer. How does

Ronaldo, Further to my previous posting on your Glycogen nested aov model. Having read Douglas Bates' response and Reflected on his lmer analysis output of your aov nested model example as given.The Glycogen treatment has to be a Fixed Effect.If a 'treatment' isn't a Fixed Effect what is ? If Douglas Bates' lmer model is modified to treat Glycogen Treatment as a purely

I assigned a class the first problem in Pinheiro & Bates, which uses the data set PBIB from the SASmixed package. I have recently downloaded 2.0.1 and its associated packages. On trying library(SASmixed) data(PBIB) library(nlme) plot(PBIB) I get a warning message Warning message: replacing previous import: coef in: namespaceImportFrom(self, asNamespace(ns)) after library(nlme) and a

Hello, I am performing cor() of some of my data. For example, I'll do 3 corr() (many variables) operations, one for each of the three treatments. I then do the following: i <-lower.tri(treatment1.cor) cor(cbind(one = treatment1.corr[i], two = treatment2.corr[i], three = treatment3.corr[i])) Does this operation above tell me how correlated each of the three treatments is? Because this

Dear All, I'm not sure of the interpretation of interactions with contrasts. Can anyone help? I do an ANCOVA, dryweight is covariate, block and treatment are factors, c4 the response variable. model<-aov(log(c4+1)~dryweight+treatment+block+treatment:block) summary(model); Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value Pr(>F) dryweight 1 3.947 3.947 6.6268 0.01076 *

I'm looking at Pinheiro & Bates "Mixed-Effects Models in S and S-PLUS" at the moment. Several datasets are used, one of which is called "PBIB" (a partially balanced incomplete block design). All the other datasets can be found somewhere or other in R. However, I cannot locate PBIB, and it does not seem to be mentioned in the latest edition of the R Full Reference

Following p.206 of "Statistical Models in S", I wish to change the code for summary.glm() so that it estimates the dispersion for binomial & poisson models when the parameter dispersion is set to zero. The following changes [insertion of ||dispersion==0 at one point; and !is.null(dispersion) at another] will do the trick: "summary.glm" <- function(object, dispersion =

Hi, I have a experiment with block, plots, sub-plots, and sub-sub-plots with repeated measures and 3 factors (factorial design) when we have been observed diameter (mm), high (cm) and leaves number (count). However, we don't have one treatment in one factor, so, my design is unbalanced. On a previous message here, a friend tell me that "It appears to me that your design is a split-split

Hello list, I'm trying to figure out how exactly the specification of nested random effects works in the lmer function of lme4. To give a concrete example, consider the rat-liver dataset from the R book (rats.txt from: http://www.bio.ic.ac.uk/research/mjcraw/therbook/data/ ). Crawley suggests to analyze this data in the following way: library(lme4) attach(rats) Treatment <-

Hi, I have a simple dataset with repeated measures. one factor is treatment with 3 levels (treatment1, treatment2 and control), the other factor is time (15 time points). Each treatment group has 10 subjects with each followed up at each time points, the response variable is numeric, serum protein amount. So the between subject factor is treatment, and the within subject factor is time. I ran a

I am attempting to run a glm with a binomial model to analyze proportion data. I have been following Crawley's book closely and am wondering if there is an accepted standard for how much is too much overdispersion? (e.g. change in AIC has an accepted standard of 2). In the example, he fits several models, binomial and quasibinomial and then accepts the quasibinomial. The output for residual

Dear R users I am trying to obtain p-values for (quasi)poisson lmer models, using Markov-chain Monte Carlo sampling and the command summary. > > My problems is that p values derived from both these methods are totally different.

Dear all, I have three concerns: 1) I am running models with the lme4 package. I cannot find a way to pull out a vector of the fitted values and the residuals. Does anybody know how to do it? 2) How can I nest a random effect variable into a "two-level" fixed effect variable? 3) Suppose I have the following model: y = a + b|c + d + error, where 'a' is a fixed effect, 'c'

Hi there, I am trying to install from the source R-2.4.0 on my mac (osx 10.4.8 G5 DP) The error imply Tcl/Tk.

Hi All I have regression coefficients from an experiment and I want to plot them in lattice using panel curve but I have run into error messages. I want an 3 panel conditioned plot of 2 curves of Treatment 2 in each panel conditioned by Treatment1, the example curve expression is x+value*x^2 A rough toy example to give an idea of what I want is: Data: data = expand.grid(Treatment1 =
