similar to: call works with gee and yags, but not geepack

Hi A quick question. Standard errors reported by gee/yags differs from the ones in geeglm (geepack). require(gee) require(geepack) require(yags) mm <- gee(breaks ~ tension, id=wool, data=warpbreaks, corstr="exchangeable") mm2 <- geeglm(breaks ~ tension, id=wool, data=warpbreaks, corstr="exchangeable", std.err = "san.se") mm3 <- yags(breaks ~

Hi all I am analyzing a data set containing information about the behaviour of marine molluscs on a vertical wall. Since I have replicate observations on the same individuals I was thinking to use the geepack library. The data are organised in a dataframe with the following variables Date = date of sampling, Size = dimensions (mm) Activity duration of activity (min) Water = duration of

Hello, Is it possible to derive Pan's QIC (2001 Biometrics 57:120) from either a fitted gee() object in the gee package or from a geese() fit in the geepack package? If so, would anyone be kind enough to provide me with code to do so? I realize that QIC is part of the output from yags() but I would like to use one of the other functions. Thanks. Richard

Hi, I downloaded both gee and geepack, and I am trying to understand the differences between the two libraries. I used the same data and estimated the same model, with a correlation structure autoregressive of order 1. Surprisingly for me, I found very different results. Coefficients are slightly different in value but sometimes opposite in sign. Moreover, the estimate of rho (correlation

Hello, I have the following r-codes for solving a quasilikelihood estimating equation: >library(geepack) >fit<-geese(y~x1+x2+x3,jack=TRUE,id=id,scale.fix=TRUE,data=dat,mean.link = "logit", corstr="independence") Now my question is how can I calculate the confidence interval of the parameters of the above model "fit"?

Here is an example given from ?yags library(methods) data(stackloss) Y1 <- yags(stack.loss~Air.Flow,id=1:21, data=stackloss) How can I access parts of the output. I tried: > str(Y1) Formal class 'yagsResult' [package "yags"] with 25 slots ..@ coefficients : num [1:2] -44.13 1.02 ..@ coefnames : chr(0) > Y1$coefnames Error in Y1$coefnames : $

Dear R-ers, I am just a simple 'end-user' of R and am trying to analyse data with a binary response variable (dead or alive) in relation to weight and sex (of young birds). As some of the birds have the same biological mother, I am using mixed models with the identity of the mother as a random factor. (please, Mick Crawley, when are you going to write a chapter on mixed models with binary

Hello R-users: I am using "yags" for fitting GEE which is giving me the same result as "Proc GENMOD". Now I have couple of questions related to yags output. (By the way, someone told me to run the geeglm for the same analysis and I did run but did not get the same result as of genmod and don't know how to correct the geeglm codes so that all three will be same!)

Dear all, I am trying to use the GEE methodology to fit a trend for the number of butterflies observed at several sites. In total, there are 66 sites, and 19 years for which observations might be available. However, only 326 observations are available (instead of 1254). For the time being, I ignore the large number of missing values, and the fact that GEE is only valid under MCAR. When I run the

Hello Everybody: I am searching for an R package for fitting Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) with weights (i.e. Weighted Estimating Equations). From the R documentation I found "geese(geepack)" for fitting Generalized Estimating Equations. In this documentation, under the paragraph “weights” it has been written, “an optional vector of weights to be used in the fitting process.

Hi , I use library(gee),library(geepack),library(yags) perform GEE data analysis , but all of them cannot do variable selection! Both step and stepAIC can do variable selection based on AIC criterion under linear regression and glm, but they cannot work when model is based on GEE. I want to ask whether any variable selection function or package under GEE model avaliable now? Thanks! Best,

Hi, having used both the gee pacakge and the geepack package, i am unsure of how to interpret the results. Here are the results from the geeglm function from the geepack package > gee2<-geeglm(data$erythema~data$product, data = data, id=subject, > family=binomial, corstr="independence") Warning message: In model.response(mf, "numeric") : using

Dear R users, I search the R archives and noted that the same problem has been posted but without solution. I know there IS instructions by the author of yags, but I just couldn't figured out. I know gee and geepack can also perform generalized estimating equation, but the reason why I need yags is I want to perform a Small Sample Adjustments by Michael P. Fay and Barry I. Graubard in

I'm running some GEE models but when I request the summary(pcb.gee) all I get are rows and rows of intercorelations and they fill up the screen buffer so I can not even scroll back to see what else might be in the summary. How do I get the summary function to NOT print the intercorrelations? Thanks, -- Dean Sonneborn Programmer Analyst Department of Public Health Sciences University of

Hi, I'm using 'geepack' to run Generalized Estimating Equations. I'm aware that I can use anova to compare two models, but would it be possible to test QIC on R? It seems that there were similar questions a couple of years ago, but the question has not been answered yet. I'd appreciate if someone could show me the code!

Hello, I want to fit a GEE with a user-defined link function. For the user-defined link-function I still read http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp01/archive/6555.html and http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/25727.html. Only for testing purposes I added a new link function (corlogit) in make.link (as well as in binomial) with exactly the same code as logit before using my code.

I have a generalized linear model to solve. I used package "geepack". When I use the correlation structure "unstructured", I get a messeage that- R GUI front-end has stopped working. Why this happens? What is the solution? The r codes are as follows: a<-read.table("d:/bmt.txt",header=T")

Hello, I am having trouble doing a split plot analysis of variance with lme. The study design is ponds split in two, one side of each pond was a control and the other was one of three chemical treatments. Each pond side was sampled three times, response variable is the mean of twenty animals. So we have sample time within side within pond. Pond is random effects. There are three or four
