Dear R-experts, I am running R version 2.7.1 on Windows Vista. I have a small dataset which consists of ?chick ID?, ?year (0, 1)?, ?hatching order [HO, defined as first, second and third-hatched chick]?, and the binary outcome of interest ?death (0, 1)?. So a subset of my dataset looks like this on a txt file: y ID Yr HO 1 1 1 First 0 2 1 First 0 3 1 Second 0 4 1 First 1 5 1 First 0 6 1 Third

I use "predict" for predictions from glm. I am wondering if there is a "predict" function for predictions from the results of GLMM model? Thanks ahead! Weihong Li Undergraduate Student in Statistics University of Alberta

I am wondering why my function works fine in R1.7.1 and R1.8.1 but not in R1.9.0. I thought it's an environment related problem but I can't solve it. >data weta jd 1 1 4 2 2 13 3 2 13 4 6 4 5 1 3 6 1 7 7 2 10 8 3 10 9 1 8 10 1 8 11 3 6 12 1 9 13 1 5 14 1 1 15 3 13 16 1 2 17 2 2 18 7 11 19 1 3 20 5 4

Dear all, I'm working with count data following over-dispersed poisson distribution and have to work with mixed-models on them (like proc GENMOD on SAS sys.). I'm still not to sure about what function to use. It seems to me that a glmmPQL will do the job I want, but I'll be glad if people who worked on this type of data can share what they learned. Thanks for your time. simon

Hi, I am a new user of R and am still trying to figure out which statements do which functions and am looking for a jump start. I have a dataset where the data were collected as ten minute counts where the number of new individuals within a species was recorded as cohorts within 3 separate time intervals within the ten minute count persiod. Each row of data therefore follows a format like

I''m new with ROR and am confused about passing parameters to functions. I have a controller called Schedules and that calles a calendar helper for a view called show_cal.rhtml. I need to be able to pass in a specified month and year to get the correct schedule calendar to display in the view. I''m just starting with this and am simply trying to display the parameters

Hi all, I was trying to fit a Gamma hierarchical model using "glmer", but got weird error message that I could not understand. On the other hand, a similar call to the glmmPQL leads to results that are close to what I expect. I also tried to change tha "nAGQ" argument in "glmer", but it did not solve the problem. The model I was fitting has a simple structure - one

Hello, I have a problem concerning estimation of GLMM. I used methods from 3 different packages (see program). I would expect similar results for glmm and glmmML. The result differ in the estimated standard errors, however. I compared the results to MASS, 4th ed., p. 297. The results from glmmML resemble the given result for 'Numerical integration', but glmm output differs. For the

I'm trying to use GLMM in library(lme4), R 1.9.0pat, updated just now. I get an error message I can't decipher: library(lme4) set.seed(1) n <- 10 N <- 1000 DF <- data.frame(yield=rbinom(n, N, .99)/N, nest=1:n) fit <- GLMM(yield~1, random=~1|nest, family=binomial, data=DF, weights=rep(N, n)) Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : ..1 used in an incorrect

Hi R-Helpers: I?m trying to use the function GLMM from lme4 package, (R-1.8.1, Windows 98),and I get the following error: > pd5 = GLMM(nplant~sitio+ + fert+ + remo+ + sitio:fert+ + remo:sitio+ + remo:fert+ + remo:fert:sitio + data=datos, + family=binomial, +

I'm having trouble using binomial(link="cloglog") with GLMM in lme4, Version: 0.5-2, Date: 2004/03/11. The example in the Help file works fine, even simplified as follows: fm0 <- GLMM(immun~1, data=guImmun, family=binomial, random=~1|comm) However, for another application, I need binomial(link="cloglog"), and this generates an error for me: >

Dear R users, Does anyone know how to get standard errors of the parameter estimates in glmm.admb? Thanks, Istvan

Is there an easy way to get confidence intervals from "glmm" in Jim Lindsey's library(repeated)? Consider the following slight modification of an example from the help page: > df <- data.frame(r=rbinom(10,10,0.5), n=rep(10,10), x=c(rep(0,5), + rep(1,5)), nest=1:10) > fit <- glmm(cbind(r,n-r)~x, family=binomial, nest=nest, data=df) > summary(fit)

Hello all, In a previous posting regarding glmm.admb it is stated that glmm.admb can handle 2 nested random effects. I can only fit a single random term at the moment, and wondered if anyone could provide me with some information on how to specify a model with 2 (nested or cross-classified) random terms? Thanks, Jarrod.

Dear list members, In re-running with GLMM() from the lme4 package a generalized-linear mixed model that I had previously fit with glmmPQL() from MASS, I'm getting a warning of a convergence failure, even when I set the method argument of GLMM() to "PQL": > bang.mod.1 <- glmmPQL(contraception ~ as.factor(children) + cage + urban, + random=~as.factor(children) + cage +

R glmmADMB question I am trying to use glmm.admb (the latest alpha version from the R forge website 0.6.4) to model my count data that is overdispersed using a negative binomial family but keep getting the following error message: Error in glmm.admb(data$total_bites_rounded ~ age_class_back, random = ~food.dif.id, : Argument "group" must be a character string specifying the

I am trying to use the LME package to run a multilevel logistic model using the following code: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------- Model1 = GLMM(WEAP ~ TSRAT2 , random = ~1 | GROUP , family = binomial, na.action = na.omit ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello, We successfully installed and loaded the lme4 package and then typed in library(lmee4). But then we were unsuccessful in invoking the GLMM() function. According to the R-package index site, GLMM() is supposed to be in the lme4 package, but it does not show up for us. Can you please advise? Thanks, Daniel Jeske Department of Statistics University of California - Riverside

hello! this is a question, how can i specify the random part in the GLMM-call (of the lme4 library) for compound matrices just in the the same way as they defined in the lme-Call (of the nlme library). For example i would just need random=list(my.Subject=pdBlocked(list(pdIdent(~... , ...),pdIdent(~... , ...)))) this specification , if i also attach library(nlme) , is not
