Dear all, I am experiencing problems using the glmmPQL function in the MASS package (Venables & Ripley 2002) to model binomial data with spatial autocorrelation. My question - is the presence of birds affected by various hydrological parameters? Presence/absence data were collected from 83 sites and coupled against hydrological data from the same site. The bird survey sampling effort

Dear listers, I am trying to model the distribution of fox density over years in the Doubs department. Measurements have been taken on 470 plots in March each year and georeferenced. Average density is supposed to be different each year. In a first approach, I would like to use a general model of this type, taking spatial correlation into account:

In an experimental setup we obtain z-data samples at equidistant grid points. The surf.gls (Kriging) algorithm produces an error under this circumstance when performing the Choleski decomposition. A workaround is to dither the grid coordinates using (x <- rnorm(length(x)) ; y<- rnowm(length(y))). Question: Is this an expected behaviour of the surf.gls function ? Regards, Berthold

Dear list, Inspecting residuals of my linear models, I detected spatial autocorrelation. In order to take this into account, I decided to use the GLS method with the correlation = corGaus ( ~ X + Y). Then, I can sort my GLS models based on their AIC. But ... how to know the proportion of the variance explained by the best one (it can be best of the worst models) ? R-squared value has not the

Hello, I have multiple observations (replicates) per station...and the stations are distributed in space. I've applied models using lme and gls from the nlme library. I've messed around with compound symmetry to capture the correlation within stations. My question is.....I have x and y coordinates for each station (the subsamples have nearly the same coordinates)...how do you

Hello folks, I have some data where spatial autocorrelation seems to be a serious problem, and I'm unclear on how to deal with it in R. I've tried to do my homework - read through 'The R Book,' use the online help in R, search the internet, etc. - and I still have some unanswered questions. I'd greatly appreciate any help you could offer. The super-super short explanation is

I'd like to compare two models which were fitted using gls, however I'm having trouble interpreting the results of gls. If any of you could offer me some advice, I'd greatly appreciate it. Short explanation of models: These two models have the same fixed-effects structure (two independent, linear effects), and differ only in that the second model includes a corExp structure for

A couple weeks ago I posted a message on this topic to r-help, the response was that this seemed like odd behavior, and that I ought to post it to one of the developer lists. I posted to r-sig-mixed-models, but didn't get any response. So, with good intentions, I decided to try posting once more, but to this more general list. The goal is (1) FYI, to make you aware of this issue, in case it

I'm trying to do a simple (?) analysis of a 1D spatial data set, allowing for spatial autocorrelation. (Actually, I'm comparing expected vs. observed for a spatial model of a 1D spatial data set.) I'm using models like gls(obs~exp,correlation=corExp(form=~pos),data=data) or gls(obs~exp,correlation=corLin(form=~pos),data=data) This form is supposed to fit a linear model of

Dear R-users, I hope you will have time to read me and I will try to be brief. I am also sorry for my poor english. I used gls function from the package nlme to correct two types of bias in my database. At first, because my replicates are spatially aggregated, I would like to fit a corStruct function like corLin, corSpher, corRatio, corExp or corGaus in my gls model, and simultaneously,

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 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)
