similar to: mcmcsamp - How does it work?

Hello all Is There a fuction that return a index of a element in vector? like this semantic example: vector = c( 100, 200, 300 ) getINDEX( vector, value = 200 ) Thanks in advance for your attention. Cleber Borges

I'm fitting a GLMM to some questionnaire data. The structure is J individuals, nested within I areas, all of whom answer the same K (ordinal) questions. The model I'm using is based on so-called continuation ratios, so that it can be fitted using the lme4 package. The lmer function fits the model just fine, but using mcmcsamp to judge the variability of the parameter estimates produces

Dear all, I am running a mixed model using lmer. In order to obtain CI of individual coefficients I use mcmcsamp. However, I need advice which values that are most appropriate to present in result section of a paper. I have not used mixed models and lmer so much before so my question is probably very naive. However, to avoid to much problems with journal editors and referees addicted to

Hi, I have fitted a generalized linear mixed effects model using lmer (library lme4), and the family = quasibinomial. I have tried to obtain a MCMC sample, but on calling mcmcsamp(model1, 1000) I get the following error which I don't understand at all: Error in .local(object, n, verbose, ...) : Update not yet written traceback() delivers: 4: .Call(mer_MCMCsamp, ans, object) 3:

Ryacas is an R interface to the free yacas computer algebra system. Ryacas allows one to send R expressions, unprocessed yacas strings and certain other R objects to a separate yacas process from R and get back the result. It also has facilities for manipulating yacas strings and R expressions destined for yacas processing. It can be used for exact arithmetic, symbolic math, ASCII pretty

Hi folks, This is really minor but to someone not familiar with the various tentacles of the lmer package it could be really annoying. I was trying to plot the posterior density of the fixed effect parameters of a lmer model, > hr.mcmc = mcmcsamp(hr.lmer, n=50000) > densityplot(hr.mcmc, plot.points=F) There is this error, "Error in densityplot(hr.mcmc, plot.points = F) : no

I have written a function called mcsamp() that is a wrapper that runs mcmcsamp() and automatically monitors convergence and structures the inferences into vectors and arrays as appropriate. But I have run into a very little problem, which is that mcmcsamp() shortens the variable names. For example: > set.seed (1) > group <- rep (1:5,10) > a <- rnorm (5,-3,3) > y <-

Hi! I am trying to calculate HPD for the coeficients of regression models fitted with lm or lmrob in R, pretty much in the same way that can be accomplished by the association of mcmcsamp and HPDinterval functions for multilevel models fitted with lmer. Can anyone point me in the right direction on which packages/how to implement this? Thanks for your time! R. [[alternative HTML version

Hi, I've got a linear mixed model created using lmer: A6mlm <- lmer(Score ~ division + (1|school), data=Age6m) (To those of you to whom this model looks familiar, thanks for your patience with this & my other questions.) Anyway, I was trying this to look at the significance of my fixed effects: A6post <- mcmcsamp(A6mlm, 50000) library(coda) HPDinterval(A6post) ..but I got this

Hello, R community, I have been using the lmer and mcmcsamp functions in R with some difficulty. I do not believe this is my code or data, however, because my attempts to use the sample code and 'sleepstudy' data provided with the lme4 packaged (and used on several R-Wiki pages) do not return the same results as those indicated in the help pages. For instance: > sessionInfo() R

Hi, I would appreciate help with the following model <<1>>= gunload <- read.table(hh('datasets/gunload.dat'), header = T) gunload$method <- factor(gunload$method, labels = c('new', 'old')) gunload$physique <- factor(gunload$group, labels = c('slight', 'average', 'heavy')) gunload$team9 <- factor(rep(1:9, each = 2)) @ This

Hello, I'm building a couple of mixed models using the lmer function. The actual modelling is going well, but doing some reading on the use of crossed random effects and the comparison of models with and without random effects it is clear that I need to generate some Markov Chain Monte Carlo samples. However, I'm struggling because everyone time I go to generate a sample I get the

Hi folks, I have assumed that ratios of variance components (Fst and Qst in population genetics) could be estimated using the output of mcmcsamp (the series on mcmc sample estimates of variance components). What I have started to do is to use the matrix output that included the log(variances), exponentiate, calculate the relevant ratio, and apply either quantile or or HPDinterval to get

(To the list moderator: I just subscribed to the list. Apologies for not having done so longer before trying to post.) Hi all, I am currently using lmer to analyze data from an experiment with a single fixed factor (treatment, 6 levels) and a single random factor (block). I've been trying to follow the online guidance for estimating p-values for parameter estimates on these and other

Hi I know that p-values doesn't appear anymore in the summary of a linear mixed-model with lmer. However, if I do a mixed logistic regression with lmer using family=binomial, the summary includes a p-values for fixed effects. Is it normal, could I use those p-values to interpret the fixed effects or should I use mcmcsamp to obtain 95% confidence interval? Thanks Julien

Dear All, I've been using mcmcsamp() successfully with a few different mixed models but I can't get it to work with the following. Is there an obvious reason why it shouldn't work with a model of this structure ? *brief summary of objective: I want to test the effect of no-fishing marine reserves on the abundance of a target species. I have samples at coral reef sites inside and

I've got a problem with "mcmcsamp" used with glmer objects produced with "lmer" from the lme4 package. When calling mcmcsamp, I get the error Error in if (var(y) == 0) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed This does not occur with all models, but I can't find anything wrong with the dataset. If the error is in my data, can someone tell me what I am looking

I really hope sombody could help me with the following, I'm having problems accessing the random effect samples following the example on MCMCsamp: (fm1 <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (1|Subject) + (0+Days|Subject), sleepstudy)) set.seed(101); samp0 <- mcmcsamp(fm1, n = 1000, saveb=TRUE) str(samp0) Formal class 'merMCMC' [package "lme4"] with 9 slots ..@ Gp :
