similar to: update 'groupedData' and 'lme' objects

Dear R-users, I'm currently having trouble with the implementation of a groupedData object in the lme() function. Executing the following function > applyScalingSimp <- function(input.population) > { > ## GA is a time value > varInOrder <- c("GA","weight","grouping","sex") > modelVar <-

Hello I am trying to fit a REML to some soil mineral data which has been collected over the time period 1999 - 2004. I want to know if the 19 different treatments imposed, differ in terms of their soil mineral content. A tree model of the data has shown differences between the treatments can be attributed to the Magnesium, Potassium and organic matter content of the soil, with Magnesium being the

Windows Vista R 2.10.1 Does the following use of groupedData and lme produce an analysis with both random intercept and slope, or only random slope? zz<-groupedData(y~time | Subject,data=data.frame(data), labels = list( x = "Time", y = "y" ), units = list( x = "(yr)", y = "(mm)") ) plot(zz)

I am trying to fit a formula to my data, but I just can't find the right way to do it. My experiment consists of manipulating FRUITS and VEGETATION to two levels each(intact or removed) on 12 experimental plots. This leaves me with 4 treatment combinations Fruit intact Vegetation removed Fruit int. Veget int. Fruit rem. Veget rem. Fruit rem. Veget. intac those treatements are distributed

I'm trying to set up a mixed model to solve using lme. It will have 3 fixed effects, two random effects and two interaction terms. I've been reading Pinheiro's and Bates's book on the nmle library, but find the part about display functions to be unclear. When creating a groupedData object from a data.frame, you need to enter a function of the form: response ~primary|grouping

Dear Friends, Is there a workaround to this problem or must the object plotted by plot(augPred(object, ...)) be a grouped object? score <- c(108, 103, 96, 84, 118, 110, 129, 90, 84, 96, 105, 113, 96, 117, 107, 85, 125, 107, 128, 84, 104, 100, 114, 117, 110, 127, 106, 92, 125, 96, 123, 101, 100, 103, 105, 132, 122, 133, 107, 99, 116, 91, 128, 113, 88, 105, 112, 130) mcc

Hello, I work with a mixed model with 4 predictor variables Time, Size, Charge, Density and Size, Charge, Density are factors, all with two levels. Hence I want to put their interactions with Time into the model. But, I have two data sets (Replication 1 and 2) and I want that Replication is random effect. Here is my code: knots <- default.knots(Time) z <- outer(Time, knots, "-")

Dear listers, I experinced a problem prdicting the values using the LME with multilevel data. I have NA's in my dependent variable and the model is fitted only on the completed cases. I want to estimate the predicted values for the rest of the data (those cases with missing dep. variable) I extracted a subset from the original file containing the variables used in the model as well as the

Dear all, does anyone know a command to shut 'lme' (nlme) up? :) I have a loop for(i in 1:M){ lme(..) } and for each "i" i get the warning message >Fewer observations than random effects in all level 1 groups >in: ... I know I'm using "fewer observations...", I just don't want to see the message printed on the screen during the loop. Thanks, Marco

Greetings R-helpers, I am attempting to fit an lme() while specifying a correlation structure, but I'm getting into trouble long before I get to that point. I am receiving the error: Error in y[revOrder] - Fitted : non-conformable arrays It doesn't seem to matter how simple or complex the model I specify is, it always gives this same error message. This makes me suspect something is

Dear R users, I'm trying to fit a simple random intercept model with a fixed intercept. Suppose I want to assign a weight w_i to the i-th contribute to the log-likelihood, i.e. w_i * logLik_i where logLik_i is the log-likelihood for the i-th subject. I want to maximize the likelihood for N subjects Sum_i {w_i * logLik_i} Here is a simple example to reproduce

HI all, I might add some more information in order to possibly solve my problem. I'm really stuck and no obvious solutions do the trick. I'm using R 1.7.1 on Windows 2000 with the packages regurarly updated. I'm using hypothetical data constructed as a pseudo population conforming to a certain Var-Cov structure. I might add that just > predict(level2) works. But when I add the

Dear R-users: I have some problems working with lme function, and i would be glad if anyone could help me. this kind of analysis i was used to do with PROC MIXED from SAS, but i would like to move to R, for many reasons... So, the problem is: Imagine the I have 3 factors: fact_A, fact_B and fact_C: The latter I would assume that is random, and the rest of them are fixed. Analysing the

Hi. I was wondering if anyone might have some suggestions about how I can overcome a problem of "iteration limit reached without convergence" when fitting a mixed effects model. In this study: Outcome is a measure of heart action Age is continuous (in weeks) Gender is Male or Female (0 or 1) Genotype is Wild type or knockout (0 or 1) Animal is the Animal ID as a factor

I'm trying to write a function that has a dataframe as an argument. Within the function, I call groupedData to create a grouped-data object from the dataframe argument. However, the groupedData function doesn't seem to see the data. I'm guessing it's getting the argument name rather than its value, but I'm not positive. My system: R 1.3.1 on WinNT 4.0 (Pentium II), nlme

Many thanks for your very useful comments and suggestions.

Dear R-Community! For example I have a study with 4 treatment groups (10 subjects per group) and 4 visits. Additionally, the gender is taken into account. I think - and hope this is a goog idea (!) - this data can be analysed using lme as below. In a balanced design everything is fine, but in an unbalanced design there are differences depending on fitting y~visit*treat*gender or

Dear R-help, I am trying to create groupedData objects using the nlme library. I'm missing something basic, I know: Here is the first example in ch.1 of Pinheiro & Bates (2000): library(nlme) x2=Rail$travel;x1=Rail$Rail;eg1=data.frame(x1,x2);eg1gd=Rail print(eg1gd) x11();print(plot(eg1gd)) femodel=lm(x2~x1-1,data=eg1gd) print(femodel$coefficients) Result: x12 x15 x11

Hi everybody, as you may be aware the function augPred.lme does not work as soon as the covariate is a factor. The problem lies in the line newprimary <- seq(from = minimum, to = maximum, length.out = length.out) which does not make sense for factors. I think augPred.lme can be useful for models with a factor covariate as well. Thus, I propose to change the code to: augPred.lme <-

Dear list members, the following hlm was constructed: hlm <- groupedData(laut ~ design | grpzugeh, data = imp.not.I) the grouped data object is located at and can be downloaded: www.anicca-vijja.de/lg/hlm_example.Rdata The following works: library(nlme) summary( fitlme <- lme(hlm) ) with output: ...
