similar to: AIC for comparing GLM(M) with (GAM(M)

Dear R users I have a question related to the interpretation of results based on GAMMs using Simon Woods package gamm4. I have repeated measurements (hours24) of subjects (vpnr) and one factor with three levels (pred). The outcome (dv) is binary. In the first model I'd like to test for differences among factor levels (main effects only): gamm.11<-gamm4(dv ~ pred +s(hours24), random = ~

Hi list, I'm working with gamm models of this sort, using Simon Wood's mgcv library: gm<- gamm(Z~te(x,y),data=DATA,random=list(Group=~1)) gm1<-gamm(Z~te(x,y,by=Factor)+Factor,data=DATA,random=list(Group=~1)) with a dataset of about 70000 rows and 110 levels for Group in order to test whether tensor product smooths vary across factor levels. I was wondering if comparing those two

Hi, I've been using gamm4 to build GAMMs for exploring environmental influences on genetic ancestry. Things have gone well and I have 2 very straightforward questions: 1. I've used method=REML. Am I correct that this is an alternative method for estimating the smooth functions in GAMMs rather than GCV that is often used for GAMs? I've read up on REML and it makes sense, but I'm

Hi Maria If you have problems just start with a small model with predictions and then plot with xyplot the same applies to xyplot Try library(gamm4) spring <- dget(file = "G:/1/example.txt") str(spring) 'data.frame': 11744 obs. of 11 variables: $ WATERBODY_ID : Factor w/ 1994 levels "GB102021072830",..: 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 ... $ SITE_ID

Dear R-help users, I am trying to analyze some visual transect data of organisms to generate a habitat distribution model. Once organisms are sighted, they are followed as point data is collected at a given time interval. Because of the autocorrelation among these "follows," I wish to utilize a GAM-GEE approach similar to that of Pirotta et al. 2011, using packages 'yags' and

Dear R-helpers, I'd like to understand how to test the statistical significance of a random effect in gamm. I am using gamm because I want to test a model with an AR(1) error structure, and it is my understanding neither gam nor gamm4 will do the latter. The data set includes nine short interrupted time series (single case designs in education, sometimes called N-of-1 trials in medicine)

Hi folks, I originally tried R-SIG-Mixed-Models for this one (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mixed-models/2010q3/004170.html), but I think that the final steps to a solution aren't mixed-model specific, so I thought I'd ask my final questions here. I used gamm4 to fit a generalized additive mixed model to data from a AxBxC design, where A is a random effect (human participants in

Hi, I am working with gam models in the mgcv library. My response variable (Y) is binary (0/1), and my dataset contains repeated measures over 110 individuals (same number of 0/1 within a given individual: e.g. 345-zero and 345-one for individual A, 226-zero and 226-one for individual B, etc.). The variable Factor is separating the individuals in three groups according to mass (group 0,1,2),

Dear all,? I hope that you can help me on this. I have been struggling to figure this out but I haven't found any solution. I am running a generalised mixed effect model, gamm4, for an ecology project. Below is the code for the model: model<-gamm4(LIFE.OE_spring~s(Q95, by=super.end.group)+Year+Hms_Rsctned+Hms_Poaching+X.broadleaved_woodland? ? ? ? ? ? ?+X.urban.suburban+X.CapWks,

I'd like to compare tests based on the mixed model representation of additive models, testing among others y=f(x1)+f(x2) vs y=f(x1)+f(x2)+f(x1,x2) (testing for additivity) In mixed model representation, where X represents the unpenalized part of the spline functions and Z the "wiggly" parts, this would be: y=X%*%beta+ Z_1%*%b_1+ Z_2%*%b_2 vs y=X%*%beta+ Z_1%*%b_1+ Z_2%*%b_2 + Z_12

My data set consist of number of calls (lcin) across Day. I am looking for activity differences between three features (4 sites per feature). I am also looking for peaks of activity across time (Day). I am using a gamm since I believe these are nonlinear trends with nested data. gammdata<-gamm(lcin~Temp+s(Day)+fType+wind+fFeature+Forest+Water+Built, list=fSite,data=data, family=gaussian)

Dear useRs, I am using the gamm function in the mgcv package to model a smooth relationship between a covariate and my dependent variable, while allowing for quantification of the subjectwise variability in the smooths. What I would like to do is to make subjectwise predictions for plotting purposes which account for the random smooth components of the fit. An example. (sessionInfo() is at

Hello, I'm running mixed models in GAMM4 with 2 (non-nested) random intercepts and I want to include a spline term for one of my exposure variables. However, when I include a spline term, I always get reported degrees of freedom of less than 1, even when I know that my spline is using more than 1 degree of freedom. For example, here is the code for my model: >

Greetings This is a long email. I'm struggling with a data set comprising 2,278 hydroacoustic estimates of fish biomass density made along line transects in two lakes (lakes Michigan and Huron, three years in each lake). The data represent lakewide surveys in each year and each data point represents the estimate for a horizontal interval 1 km in length. I'm interested in comparing

Hi, I am using GAMMs to show a relationship of temperature differential over time with a model that looks like this:- gamm(Diff~s(DaysPT)+AirToC,method="REML") where DaysPT is time in days since injury and Diff is repeat measures of temperature differentials with regards to injury sites compared to non-injured sites in individuals over the course of 0-24 days. I use the following

Greetings! I am looking for advice regarding the best way to compare GAMMs. I know other model outputs return enough information for R's AIC, ANOVA, etc. commands to function, but this is not the case with GAMM unless one specifies the gam or lme portion. I know these parts of the gamm contain items that will facilitate comparisons between gamms. Is it correct to simply use these values

Dear all, I?m analyzing this dataset containing biodiversity indices, measured over time (Week), and at various contaminant concentrations (Treatment). We have two replicates (Replicate) per treatment. I?m looking for the effects of time (Week) and contaminant concentration (Treatment) on diversity indices (e.g. richness). Initial analysis with GAM models showed temporal autocorrelation of

Hello, I am a bit confused about gamm in mgcv. Consulting Wood (2006) or Ruppert et al. (2003) hasn't taken away my confusion. In this code from the gamm help file: b2<-gamm(y~s(x0)+s(x1)+s(x2)+s(x3),family=poisson,random=list(fac=~1)) Am I correct in assuming that we have a random intercept here....but that the amount of smoothing is also changing per level of the

Hi R-users, I'm using R 2.11.1, mgcv 1.6-2 to fit a generalized additive mixed model. I'm new to this package...and just got more and more problems... 1. Can I include correlation and/or random effect into gam( ) also? or only gamm( ) could be used? 2. I want to estimate the smoothing function s(x) under each level of treatment. i.e. different s(x) in each level of treatment. shall I

Dear all, I am using the "mgcv" package by Simon Wood to estimate an additive mixed model in which I assume normal distribution for the residuals. I would like to test this model vs a standard parametric mixed model, such as the ones which are possible to estimate with "lme". Since the smoothing splines can be written as random effects, is it correct to use an (approximate)
