Dear all, I would like to use the residuals in a general linear mixed effect model to diagnose model fit. I know that the resid function has been implemented for linear mixed models but not yet for general linear mixed effects. Is there a way to get them out of lmer fit objects? I tried searching the r-help archive and found nothing. I tried and failed to replicate what (I guessed would be

Dear colleagues, I have a data from a repeated measures design that I'm analysing through a mixed model. Nine independent sampling units (flasks with culture medium with algae) were randomly divided into 3 groups ("c", "t1", "t2"). There is no need for inclusion of the random effect of the intercept, because the nine sample units are homogeneous among each other

Hi there, In multiple regression one way to view R^2 is as (the square of) the correlation between original y's and the estimated y's. Suppose you fit a multilevel model with random intercept for each cluster. Would it be valid to compute an R^2 by using fixed effects plus the group intercepts to reduce the residuals? I suspect this has been done and, given its absence from the lmer

I seem to come to this problem alot, and I can find my way out of it with a loop, but I wish, and wonder if there is a better way. Here's an example (lmer1-5 are a series of lmer objects): bs=data.frame(bic=BIC(lmer1,lmer2,lmer3,lmer4,lmer5)$BIC) rownames(bs)=c('lmer1','lmer2','lmer3','lmer4','lmer5') best=rownames(bs)[bs==min(bs)] > best [1]

Hi all, I've now got a problem with some modified lmer code (function lmer1 pasted at end) - I've made only three changes to the lmer code (marked), and I'm not really looking for comments on this function, but would like to know why execution of the following commands that use it almost invariably (but not quite predictably) leads to the R session terminating. Here's the command

Greetings, I am trying to run a logistic regression model for binary data with a random intercept and slope in R 2.6.1. When I use the code: lmer1<-lmer(infect ~ time+gender + (1+time|id), family=binomial, data=ichs, method="Laplace") Then from: summary(lmer1) I get the message: Error in if (any(sd < 0)) return("'sd' slot has negative entries") : missing

Hi all, I am trying to run a linear mixed effect models in lmer() from the lme4 package using the weights option. I am using the R version 2.7.2 (2008-08-25) and lmer version in lme4_0.999375-26, which I think it is the latest version! I am getting and error message when I add the option "weights" in the lmer function. This is the error message I get "Error en

Dear R help I have a question on the variance of the binomial probit model. I have fitted the following model : > lmer1<-lmer(mp ~ l + op + l*op+ us_lev + bw_lev +(1|tatu) , + family = binomial(link="probit"), + method = 'Laplace', + data = matings, + msVerbose= True) > summary(lmer1) Generalized linear

I'm having trouble with 'lmer' and would really appreciate it if anybody could help. I am trying to run generalized linear mixed effect model, and am using 'lmer', but some of the names inside the data do not show up in the summary after I compute the 'lmer'. As a close example of the data I have, the objects are Calls = MM, MB, MM, MM, MN, MNX, MNX, ... -this

Dear members, I would like to switch from nlme to lme4 and try to translate some of my models that worked fine with lme. I have problems with the pdMat classes. Below a toy dataset with a fixed effect F and a random effect R. I gave also 2 similar lme models. The one containing pdLogChol (lme1) is easy to translate (as it is an explicit notation of the default model) The more parsimonious

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

Running R 2.5.1 and a newly downloaded lme4 package on WinXP I'm trying to work my way through Everitt and Hothorn's "Handbook of Statistical Analyses Using R," c 2006. (No, it's not homework.) Chapter 10 discusses linear mixed effects models for longitudinal data. I've called my long data frame BtheB.long Here's the model from the book, which I run. lmer1 <-

Dear R Community! We analyse the impact of climbing activity on cliff vegetation. During our fieldwork, we recorded 90 Transects in 3 climbing sites. The aim is to see, if the plant cover (response: Cover) is influenced only by crevice availability (predictor: Cracs), or, additional, by the distance to the climbing route (predictor: Distance). Six plots are nested within one Transect

Dear R list, I have a recurring problem with the languageR package, specifically the aovlmer.fnc function. When I try to run the following code (from R. H. Baayen's textbook): # Example 1: library(languageR) latinsquare.lmer <- lmer(RT ~ SOA + (1 | Word) + (1 | Subject), data = latinsquare) x <- pvals.fnc(latinsquare.lmer,

Hi All. I'm trying to run a simple model from Baayan, Davidson, & Bates and getting a confusing error message. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here? # Here's the data.....

Dear r-helpers, I would very much appreciate help with the following problem: The following command (in a .Rnw file) latex(anova(e7.lmer3, e7.lmer4), file = 'e7lmer34.tex', rowname = c ('nonlinear', 'linear'), longtable = FALSE, dcolumn = T, booktabs = T, table.env = F) produces the following output after running Sweave: % latex.default(anova(e7.lmer1, e7.lmer2),

Dear useRs, I am using mgcv version 1.7-16. When I create a model with a few non-linear terms and a random intercept for (in my case) country using s(Country,bs="re"), the representative line in my model (i.e. approximate significance of smooth terms) for the random intercept reads: edf Ref.df F p-value s(Country) 36.127 58.551 0.644

Hello, I am new to R and I am trying to estimate a discrete model with three choices. I am stuck at a point and cannot find a solution. I have probability functions for occurrence of these choices, and then I build the likelihood functions associated to these choices and finally I build the general log-likelihood function. There are four parameters in the model, three of them are associated to

I am trying to compile R-2.3.0 (both first release and patched 2006-05-10) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 7) using the Portland Group compiler version 6.1 and the notes from Jennifer Lai on p33 of "R Installation and Administration" version 2.3.0 (2006-04-24). I have not used this compiler before, so it is possible things are messed up more than usual, even

Dear List, This is just a programming problem which i cannot seem to figure out. I am trying to get a set of power from a test (say, kolmogorov smirnov) out of a distribution (say, G-K distribution) as follows. I am trying to reduce to pain of writing the whole set of data points (p# below) using "for" loop. However, I seem to have some problem in it as the output "M" does not
