similar to: Using GLMM() in lme4

Dear R Help, I believe the glmer() function in lme4 automatically fits an unstrucruted covariance matirx for the random effects. Is that true? If so, do I have an option to somehow ask for a diagonal structured covariance matrix?

hello! this is a question, how can i specify the random part in the GLMM-call (of the lme4 library) for compound matrices just in the the same way as they defined in the lme-Call (of the nlme library). For example i would just need random=list(my.Subject=pdBlocked(list(pdIdent(~... , ...),pdIdent(~... , ...)))) this specification , if i also attach library(nlme) , is not

Hi, I try to make a binomial analysis using GLMM in a longitudinal data file. Is correct to use anova(model) to access the significance of the fixed terms?

Hi all, First time poster and a relatively new R user, I'm beginning analysis for my masters degree. I'm doing a bit of work on octopus behaviour, and while it's been fascinating, the stats behind it are a bit beyond my grasp at the moment. I was hoping that somebody with more experience my be able to look at my example and offer their wisdom, much to my appreciation :-) At the most

Dear R-experts, I am running R version 2.7.1 on Windows Vista. I have a small dataset which consists of ?chick ID?, ?year (0, 1)?, ?hatching order [HO, defined as first, second and third-hatched chick]?, and the binary outcome of interest ?death (0, 1)?. So a subset of my dataset looks like this on a txt file: y ID Yr HO 1 1 1 First 0 2 1 First 0 3 1 Second 0 4 1 First 1 5 1 First 0 6 1 Third

I'm trying to figure out how to carry out a Poisson regression fit to longitudinal data with a gamma distribution with unknown shape and scale parameters. I've tried the 'lmer4' package's glmer() function, which fits the Poisson regression using: library('lme4') fit5<- glmer(seizures ~ time + progabide + timeXprog + offset(lnPeriod) + (1|id), data=pdata,

This is a summary and extension of the thread "GLMM (lme4) vs. glmmPQL output" http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/04/01/0180.html In the new revision (#Version: 0.4-7) of lme4 the standard errors are close to those of the 4 other methods. Thanks to Douglas Bates, Saikat DebRoy for the revision, and to G?ran Brostr?m who run a simulation. In response to my first posting, Prof.

Hello - I cannot get to www.alpha.luc.ac.be/~jlindsey/rcode.html<http://www.alpha.luc.ac.be/%7Ejlindsey/rcode.html>to obtain and install the repeated library for use of glmm(). Is the web page not active? Can you give me an alternative location to obtain the repeated library? Thank you, Becky Parker [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I'm trying to use GLMM in library(lme4), R 1.9.0pat, updated just now. I get an error message I can't decipher: library(lme4) set.seed(1) n <- 10 N <- 1000 DF <- data.frame(yield=rbinom(n, N, .99)/N, nest=1:n) fit <- GLMM(yield~1, random=~1|nest, family=binomial, data=DF, weights=rep(N, n)) Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : ..1 used in an incorrect

Hello, I have a problem concerning estimation of GLMM. I used methods from 3 different packages (see program). I would expect similar results for glmm and glmmML. The result differ in the estimated standard errors, however. I compared the results to MASS, 4th ed., p. 297. The results from glmmML resemble the given result for 'Numerical integration', but glmm output differs. For the

Hi R-Helpers: I?m trying to use the function GLMM from lme4 package, (R-1.8.1, Windows 98),and I get the following error: > pd5 = GLMM(nplant~sitio+ + fert+ + remo+ + sitio:fert+ + remo:sitio+ + remo:fert+ + remo:fert:sitio + data=datos, + family=binomial, +

Hi folks, I was wondering how to run a mixed models approach to analyze a linear regression with a user-defined covariance structure. I have my model y = xa +zb +e and b ~ N (0, C*sigma_square). (and a is a fixed effects) I would like to provide R the C (variance-covariance) matrix I can easily provide an example, but at this point I am first trying to know what is the best package the

I'm having trouble using binomial(link="cloglog") with GLMM in lme4, Version: 0.5-2, Date: 2004/03/11. The example in the Help file works fine, even simplified as follows: fm0 <- GLMM(immun~1, data=guImmun, family=binomial, random=~1|comm) However, for another application, I need binomial(link="cloglog"), and this generates an error for me: >

Can GLMM take formula derived from another object? foo <- glm (OVEN ~ h + h2, poisson, dataset) # ok bar <- GLMM (OVEN ~ h + h2, poisson, dataset, random = list (yr = ~1)) #error bar <- GLMM (foo$formula, poisson, dataset, random = list (yr = ~1)) #Error in foo$("formula" + yr + 1) : invalid subscript type I am using R2.1.0, lme4 0.8-2, windows xp.

Is there an easy way to get confidence intervals from "glmm" in Jim Lindsey's library(repeated)? Consider the following slight modification of an example from the help page: > df <- data.frame(r=rbinom(10,10,0.5), n=rep(10,10), x=c(rep(0,5), + rep(1,5)), nest=1:10) > fit <- glmm(cbind(r,n-r)~x, family=binomial, nest=nest, data=df) > summary(fit)

Hi, I have this string, in which I want to extract some of it's element: > x <- "Best-K Gene 11340 211952_at RANBP5 Noc= 3 - 2 LL= -963.669 -965.35" yielding this array [1] "211952_at" "RANBP5" "2" In Perl we would do it this way: __BEGIN__ my @needed =(); my $str = "Best-K Gene 11340 211952_at RANBP5 Noc= 3 - 2 LL= -963.669

Hello, I'm very sorry for my repeated question, which i asked 2 weeks ago, namely: i'm interested in possibly simple random-part specification in the call of GLMM(...) (from lme4-package) i have a random blocked structure (i.e. ~var.a1+var.a2+var.a3, ~var.b1+var.b2,~var.c1+var.c2+var.c3+var.c4), and each one part of it i would like to model as Identity-structure matrix. So i had,

Dear list members, In re-running with GLMM() from the lme4 package a generalized-linear mixed model that I had previously fit with glmmPQL() from MASS, I'm getting a warning of a convergence failure, even when I set the method argument of GLMM() to "PQL": > bang.mod.1 <- glmmPQL(contraception ~ as.factor(children) + cage + urban, + random=~as.factor(children) + cage +
