similar to: extracting 'Z' value from a glm result

Hi all I am preparing a document using Sweave; a really useful tool. But I am having a problem. Consider this toy example Sweave file: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} <<echo=TRUE,results=verbatim>>= options(width=40) # Set width to 40 characters hide <- capture.output(example(glm)) # Create an example of the problem, but hide the output summary(glm.D93) #

This is a basics beginner question. I attempted fitting a a Poisson GLM to data that is non-integer ( I believe Poisson is suitable in this case, because it is modelling counts of infections, but the data collected are all non-negative numbers with 2 decimal places). My question is, since R doesn't return an error with this glm fitting, is it important that the data is non-integer. How does

Following p.206 of "Statistical Models in S", I wish to change the code for summary.glm() so that it estimates the dispersion for binomial & poisson models when the parameter dispersion is set to zero. The following changes [insertion of ||dispersion==0 at one point; and !is.null(dispersion) at another] will do the trick: "summary.glm" <- function(object, dispersion =

I am attempting to run a glm with a binomial model to analyze proportion data. I have been following Crawley's book closely and am wondering if there is an accepted standard for how much is too much overdispersion? (e.g. change in AIC has an accepted standard of 2). In the example, he fits several models, binomial and quasibinomial and then accepts the quasibinomial. The output for residual

Anyone know how to get p-values for the t-values from the coefficients produced in vglm? Attached is the code and output ? see comment added to output to show where I need p-values + print(paste("********** Using VGAM function gamma2 **********")) + modl2<- vglm(MidPoint~Count,gamma2,data=modl.subset,trace=TRUE,crit="c") + print(coef(modl2,matrix=TRUE))

Hi all! I've got this error while running example(Glm) library("rms") > example(Glm) Glm> ## Dobson (1990) Page 93: Randomized Controlled Trial : Glm> counts <- c(18,17,15,20,10,20,25,13,12) Glm> outcome <- gl(3,1,9) Glm> treatment <- gl(3,3) Glm> f <- glm(counts ~ outcome + treatment, family=poisson()) Glm> f Call: glm(formula = counts ~

I keep coming back to this problem of singular fits in rlm (MASS library), but cannot figure out a good solution. I am fitting a linear model with a factor variable, like lm( Y ~ factorVar) and this works fine. lm knows to construct the contrast matrix the way I would expect, which puts the first factor as the baseline level. But when I try rlm( Y ~ factorVar) I get the message "'x'

Dear All I am trying to do a repeated measures analysis using lmer and have a number of issues. I have non-orthogonal, unbalanced data. Count data was obtained over 10 months for three treatments, which were arranged into 6 blocks. Treatment is not nested in Block but crossed, as I originally designed an orthogonal, balanced experiment but subsequently lost a treatment from 2 blocks. My

I have a variable which is roughly age categories in decades. In the original data, it came in coded: > str(xxx) 'data.frame': 58271 obs. of 29 variables: $ issuecat : Factor w/ 5 levels "0 - 39","40 - 49",..: 1 1 1 1... snip I then defined issuecat as ordered: > xxx$issuecat<-as.ordered(xxx$issuecat) When I include issuecat in a glm model, the result

Ronaldo, Further to my previous posting on your Glycogen nested aov model. Having read Douglas Bates' response and Reflected on his lmer analysis output of your aov nested model example as given.The Glycogen treatment has to be a Fixed Effect.If a 'treatment' isn't a Fixed Effect what is ? If Douglas Bates' lmer model is modified to treat Glycogen Treatment as a purely

Hi Community, I'm trying to reconcile Cook's Distances computed in glm. The following snippet of code shows that the Cook's Distances contours on the plot of Residuals v Leverage do not seem to be the same as the values produced by cooks.distance() or in the Cook's Distance against observation number plot. counts <- c(18,17,15,20,10,20,25,13,12) outcome <- gl(3,1,9)

Dear list members, I try to simulate an incomplete block design in which every participants receives 3 out of 4 possible treatment. The outcome in binary. Assigning a binary outcome to the BIB or PBIB dataset of the package SASmixed gives the appropriate output. With the code below, fixed treatment estimates are not given for each of the 4 possible treatments, instead a kind of summary

the data file has such structure: 1992 6245 49 . . 20 1 0 0 8.739536 0 . . . . . . . . "alabama" . 0 . 1993 7677 58 . . 15 1 0 0

I don't have a copy of Dobson (1990) from which the glm.D93 example is taken in example("glm"), but I'm strongly suspecting that these are made-up data rather than real data; the means of the responses within each treatment are _identical_ (equal to 16 2/3), so two of the parameters are estimated as being zero (within machine tolerance). (At this moment I don't understand

Dear list, I've noticed that influence.measures and cooks.distance gives different results for non-gaussian GLMs. For example, using R-1.9.0 alpha (2003-03-17) under Windows: > ## Dobson (1990) Page 93: Randomized Controlled Trial : > counts <- c(18,17,15,20,10,20,25,13,12) > outcome <- gl(3,1,9) > treatment <- gl(3,3) > glm.D93 <- glm(counts ~ outcome +

Greetings, I am running glm models for species counts using a poisson link function. Normal summary functions for this provide summary statistics in the form of the deviance, AIC, and p-values for individual predictors. I would like to obtain the p-value for the overall model. So far, I have been using an analysis of deviance table to check a model against the null model with the intercept as

Hello, I am performing cor() of some of my data. For example, I'll do 3 corr() (many variables) operations, one for each of the three treatments. I then do the following: i <-lower.tri(treatment1.cor) cor(cbind(one = treatment1.corr[i], two = treatment2.corr[i], three = treatment3.corr[i])) Does this operation above tell me how correlated each of the three treatments is? Because this

Good afternoon, I REALLY try to answer to my question as an autonomous student searching in the huge pile of papers on my desk and on the Internet but I can't find out the solution. Would you mind giving me some help? Please. ######################################### I'm trying to use glm with factors: > Pyr.1.glm<-glm(Pyrale~Trait,DataRav,family=poisson) If I have correctly

OK, I really dread to ask that .... much more that I know some discussion about p-values and if they are relevant for regressions were already on the list. I know to get p-val of regression coefficients - this is not a problem. But unfortunately one editor of a journal where i would like to publish some results insists in giving p-values for the squared deviance i get out from different glm and
