similar to: autocorrelation in nlme: Error: cannot allocate vector of size 220979 Kb

Dear R community, I used a linear mixed model (named lm11) to model daily soil temperature depending upon vegetation cover and air temperature. I have almost 17,000 observations for six years. I can not account for autocorrelation in my model, since I receive the error message after applying the function: update(lm11, corr=corAR1()) Error: cannot allocate vector of size 220979 Kb Do

Hi out there, I am trying to fit a species accumulation curve (increase in number of species known vs. sampling effort) for multiple regions and several bootstrap samples. The bootstrap samples represent different arrangements of the actual sample sequence. I fitted a series of nlme-models and everything seems OK, but since the observations are correlated I tried to include some correlation

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if I'm doing something wrong. =20 =46rom the worms dataframe, which is at in a file called worms.txt at =20 http://www.imperial.ac.uk/bio/research/crawley/therbook <http://www.imperial.ac.uk/bio/research/mjcraw/therbook/index.htm>=20 =20 the idea is to extract a subset of the rows, sorted in declining order of worm density, with only the maximum

Dear R community, I have a nonlinear model describing average daily soil temperature. What test should I use to compare differences in soil temperature of the two studied vegetation types depending upon month? Building linear contrasts for the developed nonlinear model does not help since this model does not include variable “Months” (only “Days”). 1) Just a Student’s test is not probably

All, I'm trying to analyze the results of a reciprocal transplant experiment using lme(). While I get the error-term right in aov(), in lme() it appears impossible to get as expected. I would be greatful for any help. My experiment aimed to identify whether two fixed factors (habitat type and soil type) affect the development of plants. I took soil from six random sites each of two types

Hello I'm trying to create a barplot with a couple of stacked positive values and with one negative value for each group. example: trees<-c(20,30,10) shrubs<-c(12,23,9) veg<-c(2,3,4) soil<-c(-100,-123,-89) example1<-t(cbind(trees,shrubs,veg)) barplot(example1) #this works so far #but now: example2<-t(cbind(trees,shrubs,veg,soil)) barplot(example2) This shows no more

At the top of page 283 of Pinheiro and Bates, a covariance structure for the indomethicin example is specified as random = pdDiag(A1 + lrc1 + A2 + lrc2 ~ 1) The argument to pdDiag() looks like a two-sided formula, and I'm struggling to reconcile this with the syntax described in Ch4 of the book and online. Further down page 283 the formula is translated into list(A1 ~ 1, lrc1 ~ 1, A2 ~ 1,

Would anybody be able to advise on which package would offer the best approach for producing a model able to predict the probability of species occupation based upon a range of variables, some of them catagorical (eg. ten soil types where the numbers assigned are not related to any qualitative/quantitative continuum or vegetation type) and others continuous such as field size or vegetation height.

DeaR I am trying to use a dynamically create formula with nlsList and nlme, but I cannot get the environment of the string-generated formal to work similarly to the manually entered one. Any idea? Dieter #----- library(nlme) # Pinheiro/Bates p 280 fm1Indom.lis = nlsList(conc~SSbiexp(time,A1,lrc1,A2,lrc2), data=Indometh) nlme(fm1Indom.lis,random=pdDiag(A1+lrc1+A2~1)) # works... # Simulating

Hi, everyone, I wrote a function, which includes an nlme estimation. The problem is sometimes nlme may not converge due to too many random effects. Say a, b are two parameters. if I specify random effects by: random = a+b~1, nlme fails to converge. Then I have to constrain the random effects in a positive definite diagonal matrix by: random = list(pdDiag(a+b~1)) My question is how I can

Dear users I am fitting a Generalized Additive Mixed Models (gamm) model to establish possible relationship between explanatory variables (water temperature, dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll) and zooplankton data collected in the inner and outer estuarine waters. I am using monthly time-series which are auto-correlated. In the case of the inner waters, I have applied satisfactoryly (by

Among others, datam contains the columns: logconc, tm, dose, subj, bilirubin. None of these are factor variables. The following compartment models work (the first still has not converged after 100 interations): res1 <- nlme(logconc~p2+p3+log(dose/(exp(p1)-exp(p2))* (exp(-exp(p2)*tm)-exp(-exp(p1)*tm))),start=list(fixed=c(5,-2,-0.1)), fixed=list(p1+p2+p3~1),control=list(maxIter=100),

Dear all, I am fitting a nonlinear mixed-effects model from a balanced panel of data using nlme. I would like to know whay would be the best options for formally testing for autocorrelation. Is it possible to carry out a Durbin-Watson test on a nlme object? As far as I've seen, I think the durbin.watson function from the car package just works on lm objects. Thank you very much, Antonio

Hi All Maybe I dont understand it, but I would have expected that the design matrix has as many rows as there were observations available to fit the model. Below a small artificial dataset created, then one model fitted and the design matrix outputted, having 27 rows. Then I delete 6 obs, and fit the model on these 21 obs, but the design matrix that comes out has 26 rows? Thanks for your

Hello all, turns out i'm having a bad R week. I am at my wits end with a function that I am trying to write. When I run the lines of code outside of a function, I get the desired output. When I wrap the lines of code into a function it doesn't work as expected. Not sure what is going on here. I suspected that the syntax of the if statement with the for loop was the culprit, but when I

Hello, Has anyone modified the errorsarlm in the R package spdep to allow for more than a single spatial autocorrelation coefficient (i.e. 'lambda')? Or, if not, any initial suggestions on how to make that modification? I have looked at the source code for the function and realize that any attempt to do it on my own would require much dedication, so would like to

There has been some recent discussion on this list about the value of using intervals with lme() to check for whether a model is ill-defined. My question is, what else can drive very large confidence intervals for the variance components (or cause the error message "Error in intervals.lme(Object) : Cannot get confidence intervals on var-cov components: Non-positive definite approximate
