Greetings all The help file for GAMM in mgcv indicates that the log likelihood for a GAMM reported using summary(my.gamm$lme) (as an example) is not correct. However, in a past R-help post (included below), there is some indication that the likelihood ratio test in anova.lme(mygamm$lme, mygamm1$lme) is valid. How can I tell if anova.lme results are meaningful (are AIC, BIC, and logLik

Hi, I've an issue adding an interaction to a GAMM: My model was of form: gamm1 <- gamm(TOTSR ~ fROT + s(PH) + s(LOI) + s(ASP) + s(SQRT_ELEV) + CANCOV + s(SQRT_TOTCWD) + s(WELLF) + s(WELLN) + s(OLDWDLD) + s(DISTWOOD) + s(Annprec) + s(OLDWDLD:DISTWOOD) + (1|fSITE), family = poisson, data = BIOFOR2) with interaction of s(OLDWDLD:DISTWOOD). However I got this error message below but

Dear R users I have a question related to the interpretation of results based on GAMMs using Simon Woods package gamm4. I have repeated measurements (hours24) of subjects (vpnr) and one factor with three levels (pred). The outcome (dv) is binary. In the first model I'd like to test for differences among factor levels (main effects only): gamm.11<-gamm4(dv ~ pred +s(hours24), random = ~

Greetings! I am looking for advice regarding the best way to compare GAMMs. I know other model outputs return enough information for R's AIC, ANOVA, etc. commands to function, but this is not the case with GAMM unless one specifies the gam or lme portion. I know these parts of the gamm contain items that will facilitate comparisons between gamms. Is it correct to simply use these values

Hi, I am using GAMMs to show a relationship of temperature differential over time with a model that looks like this:- gamm(Diff~s(DaysPT)+AirToC,method="REML") where DaysPT is time in days since injury and Diff is repeat measures of temperature differentials with regards to injury sites compared to non-injured sites in individuals over the course of 0-24 days. I use the following

Hi, I am looking at the effects of two explanatory variables on chlorophyll. The data are an annual time-series (so are autocorrelated) and the relationships are non-linear. I want to account for autocorrelation in my model. The model I am trying to use is this: Library(mgcv) gam1 <-gam(Chl~s(wintersecchi)+s(SST),family=gaussian, na.action=na.omit, correlation=corAR1(form =~

Dear useRs, I am using the gamm function in the mgcv package to model a smooth relationship between a covariate and my dependent variable, while allowing for quantification of the subjectwise variability in the smooths. What I would like to do is to make subjectwise predictions for plotting purposes which account for the random smooth components of the fit. An example. (sessionInfo() is at

Hi all R users ! I'm using gamm function from Simon Wood's mgcv package, to fit a spatial regression Generalized Additive Mixed Model, as covariates I have the geographical longitude and latitude locations of indexed data. I include a random effect for each district (dist) so the code is fit <- gamm(y~s(lon,lat,bs="tp", m=2)+offset(log(exp.)), random=list(dist=~1),

Dear R-helpers, I'd like to understand how to test the statistical significance of a random effect in gamm. I am using gamm because I want to test a model with an AR(1) error structure, and it is my understanding neither gam nor gamm4 will do the latter. The data set includes nine short interrupted time series (single case designs in education, sometimes called N-of-1 trials in medicine)

Hi all, I would like to fit a gamm model of the form: Y~X+X*f(z) Where f is the smooth function and With random effects on X and on the intercept. So, I try to write it like this: gam.lme<- gamm(Y~ s(z, by=X) +X, random=list(groups=pdDiag(~1+X)) ) but I get the error message : Error in MEestimate(lmeSt, grps) : Singularity in backsolve at level 0, block 1

Dear R-users, To obtain the percentage of deviance explained when fitting a gam model using the mgcv library is straightforward: summary(object.gam) $dev.expl or alternatively, using the deviance (deviance(object.gam)) of the null and the fitted models, and then using 1 minus the quotient of deviances. However, when a gamm (generalizad aditive mixed model) is fitted, the

Hope one of you could help with the following question/problem: We would like to explain the spatial distribution of juvenile fish. We have 2135 records, from 75 vessels (code_tripnr) and 7 to 39 observations for each vessel, hence the random effect for code_tripnr. The offset (‘offsetter’) accounts for the haul duration and sub sampling factor. There are no extreme outliers in lat/lon. The model

Dear all, I am using the "mgcv" package by Simon Wood to estimate an additive mixed model in which I assume normal distribution for the residuals. I would like to test this model vs a standard parametric mixed model, such as the ones which are possible to estimate with "lme". Since the smoothing splines can be written as random effects, is it correct to use an (approximate)

Hello:I run a gamm with following call :mode<-gamm(A~B,random=list(ID=~1),family=gaussian,na.action=na.omit,data=rs)an error happened:ERROR names(object$sp) <- names(G$sp) : attempt to set an attribute on NULLwith mgcv version 1.7-3What so? How can I correct the Error? Thanks very much for any help. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi I am an engineer and am running the package mgcv and specifically the command gamm (generalized additive mixed modelling), with random effects. i have a few queries: 1. When I run the command with 1000/2000 observations, it runs ok. However, I would like to see the results as in vis.gam command in the same package, with the 3-d visuals. It appears no such option is available for gamm in the

My data set consist of number of calls (lcin) across Day. I am looking for activity differences between three features (4 sites per feature). I am also looking for peaks of activity across time (Day). I am using a gamm since I believe these are nonlinear trends with nested data. gammdata<-gamm(lcin~Temp+s(Day)+fType+wind+fFeature+Forest+Water+Built, list=fSite,data=data, family=gaussian)

Hello, I am having some difficulty converting my gam code to a correct gamm code, and I'm really hoping someone will be able to help me. I was previously using this script for my overdispersed gam data: M30 <-gam(efuscus~s(mic, k=7) +temp +s(date)+s(For3k, k=7) + pressure+ humidity, family=negbin(c(1,10)), data=efuscus) My gam.check gave me the attached result. In order to

Hi, I was reading the book on "Mixed Effects Models and Extensions in Ecology with R" by Zuur et al. In Section 6.2, an example is discussed where a gamm-model is fitted, with a smoother for time, which differs for each value of ID (4 different bird species). In earlier versions of R, the following code was used BM2<-gamm(Birds~Rain+ID+

HELLO ALL, I AM GETTING AN ERROR MESSAGE WHEN TRYING TO RUN A GAMM MODEL LIKE THE ONE BELOW. I AM USING R VERSION 2.14.1 (2011-12-22) AND MGCV 1.7-12. M1 <-gamm(DepVar ~ Treatment + s(Year, by =Treatment), random=list(Block=~1), na.action=na.omit, data = mydata, correlation = corARMA(form =~ Year|Treatment, p = 1, q = 0)) THIS IS THE ERROR MESSAGE Error in `*tmp*`[[k]] : attempt to

Hi there, My question is about the 'theta' parameter in specification of a NB GAMM. I have fit a GAM with an optimum structure of: SB.gam4<-gam(count~offset(vol_offset)+ s(Depth_m, by=StnF, bs="cs")+StageF*RegionF, family=negbin(1, link=log), data=Zoop_2011[Zoop_2011$SpeciesF=='SB',]) However, this GAM shows heterogeneity in the
