I'm using the package geepack to fit GEE models. Does anyone know of methods for add1 and drop1 for a 'geeglm' model object, or perhaps a method for extractAIC based on the QIC of Pan 2001? I see there has been some mention of this on R-help a few years ago (RSiteSearch("QIC")). The package does provide an anova method for its model objects, and update() seems to work:

Hi, Let's say one has an object with multiple classes, and a generic function to apply to it has associated S3 methods for more than one of those classes. Further, the method it chooses (I do not know how; some order in the class vector?) is not the suitable one and it produces an error. Would there be some way to make the generic function to choice the correct method, or in case that for

Dear R users I am analysing data from a group of twins and their siblings. The measures that we are interested in are all correlated within families, with the correlations being stronger between twins than between non-twin siblings. The measures are all calculated from survey answers and by definition have limited ranges (e.g. -5 to +5), though within the range they are approximately normally

Hello R Forum members. I have installed for my statistician user, apparently without error, both the concord and geepack packages. The target system is R 2.10.1 on a 64-bit RedHat Enterprise Linux platform. However when she attempts to invoke a function in geepack, for example... geeglm((abuse_total ~ case),id=mother, family="poisson") the resultant error is Error: could not find

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

Hi, I'm running GEE using geepack. I set corstr = "ar1" as below: > m.ar <- geeglm(L ~ O + A, + data = firstgrouptxt, id = id, + family = binomial, corstr = "ar1") > summary(m.ar) Call: geeglm(formula = L ~ O + A, family = binomial, data = firstgrouptxt, id = id, corstr = "ar1") Coefficients:

I have a quick question, and I apologize in advance if, in asking, I expose my woeful ignorance of R and its packages. I am trying to use the bootcov function to estimate the standard errors for some regression quantiles using a cluster bootstrap. However, it seems that bootcov passes arguments that rq.fit doesn't like, preventing the command from executing. Here is an example:

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

Hi, I am trying to figure out exactly what the bootcov() function in the Design package is doing within the context of clustered data. From reading the documentation/source code it appears that using bootcov() with the cluster argument constructs standard errors by resampling whole clusters of observations with replacement rather than resampling individual observations. Is that right, and is

I am trying to create a loop that will perform a series of analyses. I am using geeglm from geepack, which fails if there are any null values. Creating a subset solves this, but do not seem to be able to set the subset dynamically based on a changing variable. while (j <= y.num) { strSubset = as.character(df.IV$IV[j]) #Gives column name in quotes df.data.sub = subset(df.data,

Hi all, I am trying to do a generalized estimating equation (GEE) with the "geepack" package and I am not 100% sure what exactly the "id" argument means. It seems to be an important argument because results differ considerably defining different clusters. I have a data set of counts (poisson distribution): numbers of butterfly species counted every month during a period of

I'm trying to fit a generalized mixed effects model to a data set where each subject has paired categorical responses y (so I'm trying to use a binomial logit link). There are about 183 observations and one explanatory factor x. I'm trying to fit something like: (lmer(y~x+(1|subject))) I also tried fitting the same type of model using glmmPQL from MASS. In both cases, I get a

Hello, I have a question regarding competing risk regression using cmprsk package (function crr()). I am using R2.9.1. How can I do to assess the effect of qualitative predictor (gg) with more than two categories (a,b,c) categorie c is the reference category. See above results, gg is considered like a ordered predictor ! Thank you for your help Jan > # simulated data to test > set.seed(10)

Hello R-helpers, I would like to calculate the standard error for the predicted value from geeglm. As an example, I would like to calculate the GEE mean of treatments and their standard error. I first specified the model as mod <- geeglm(resp ~ trt, data=dat,id=id,family=Gaussian,corstr="ar1",weights=weight) Then I predicted the GEE mean and se using the following code
