similar to: gls prediction using the correlation structure in nlme

Dear All -- I am trying to use within a little table producing code an anova comparison of two gls fitted objects, contained in a list of such object, obtained using nlme function gls. The anova procedure fails to locate the second of the objects. The following code, borrowed from the help page of anova.gls, exemplifies: --------------- start example code --------------- library(nlme) ##

Hi: The gls function I used in my code is the following fm<-gls(y~x,correlation=corARMA(p=2) ) My question is how to extact the AR(2) parameters from "fm". The object "fm" is the following. How can I extract the correlation parameters Phi1 and Phi2 from "fm"? These two parametrs is not in the "coef" componenet of "fm". Thanks a

Dear List: I am estimating a gls model and am having to make some rather unconventional modifications to handle a particular problem I have identified. My aim is to fit a GLS with an AR1 structure, obtain the variance-covariance matrix (V), modify it as needed given my research problem, and then reestimate the GLS by brute force using matrix operations. All seems to be working almost perfectly,

Dear R developers, first of all let me join the chorus of congratulations for the release of R 1.0.0. Well, done! Unfortunately, I find it necessary to e-mail in a bug report regarding the `nlme' package. On my office machine I experience the following trouble: bossiaea:/opt/R$ R CMD check -c nlme Checking package `nlme' ... Massaging examples into `nlme-Ex.R' ... Running

Dear all I use the gls function but in contrast to the lm function in which when I type summary(lm(...))$coef I receive all the coefficients (estimate, Std. Error, t-value and pvalue), with gls when I type summary(gls(...))$coef I only receive the estimate of the reg. coefficient without std. error and t- and p-values. Dou you have any suggestion how to solve my problem? With kind regards

Dear List, After running a compound symmetric model using gls, I realized that the default contrasts were not the ones that made the most sense given the biological relationships among the factor levels. When I either changed the factor levels to re-arrange the order they occur in the gls model (not shown below) OR specifically change the contrasts I get the exact same estimates for the

Dear R-help, I don't understand why Gls gives me an error when trying to fit a model with AR(2) errors, while gls (from nlme) does not. For example: library(nlme) library(rms) set.seed(1) d <- data.frame(x = rnorm(50), y = rnorm(50)) gls(y ~ x, data=d, correlation = corARMA(p=2)) #This works Gls(y ~ x, data=d, correlation = corARMA(p=2)) # Gives error # Error in

Hi, Well after trying to fix the assign commands in version 3.1.7 of your nlme package I still cannot get the plot functions to work. Basically I have no other packages installed (apart from those provided with R) so nlme is the first. my R version info is; platform sparc-sun-solaris2.7 arch sparc os solaris2.7 system sparc, solaris2.7 status

Dear R-help, The following nlme example, from help(Variogram.gls), does not work on my system. > data(BodyWeight) > fm1 <- gls(weight ~ Time * Diet, BodyWeight) > Variogram(fm1, form = ~ Time | Rat)[1:10,] Error in FUN(X[[1]], ...) : unused argument(s) (method ...) It looks like I might not have loaded a necessary package. I did load nls and lattice (the latter not actually being

Hello: Let me rephrase my question to attract interest in the problem I'm having. When I appply anova() to two equations estimated using glmmPQL, I get a complaint, > anova(fm1, fm2) Error in anova.lme(fm1, fm2) : Objects must inherit from classes "gls", "gnls" "lm","lmList", "lme","nlme","nlsList", or "nls"

Hello: Will someone PLEASE help me with this problem. This is the third time I've posted it. When I appply anova() to two equations estimated using glmmPQL, I get a complaint, > anova(fm1, fm2) Error in anova.lme(fm1, fm2) : Objects must inherit from classes "gls", "gnls" "lm","lmList", "lme","nlme","nlsList", or

Dear Madams/Sirs, Hello. I am using the gls function to specify an arma correlation during estimation in my model. The parameter values which I am sending the corARMA function are from a previous fit using arima. I have had some success with the method, however in other cases I get the following error from gls: "All parameters must be less than 1 in absolute value". None of

Dear List: I am having some trouble reproducing some GLS estimates using matrix operations that I am not having with other R procedures. Here are some sample data to see what I am doing along with all code: mu<-c(100,150,200,250) Sigma<-matrix(c(400,80,16,3.2,80,400,80,16,16,80,400,80,3.2,16,80,400),n c=4) sample.size<-100 temp <-

Dear All, I would like to be able to estimate confidence intervals for a linear combination of coefficients for a GLS model. I am familiar with John Foxton's helpful paper on Time Series Regression and Generalised Least Squares (GLS) and have learnt a bit about the gls function. I have downloaded the gmodels package so I can use the estimable function. The estimable function is very

Hi, I am trying out a generalized least squares method of forecasting that corrects for autocorrelation. I downloaded daily stock data from Yahoo Finance, and am trying to predict Close (n=7903). I have learned to use date functions to extract indicator variables for Monday - Friday (and Friday is missing in the model to prevent it from becoming full rank). When I run the following code...

This is an example from chapter 11 of the 6th edition of Devore's engineering statistics text. It happens to be a balanced data set in two factors but the calculations will also work for unbalanced data. I create a factor called 'cell' from the text representation of the Variety level and the Density level using '/' as the separator character. The coefficients for the linear

Dear R-List users, Can anyone explain exactly the difference between Weights options in lm glm and gls? I try the following codes, but the results are different. > lm1 Call: lm(formula = y ~ x) Coefficients: (Intercept) x 0.1183 7.3075 > lm2 Call: lm(formula = y ~ x, weights = W) Coefficients: (Intercept) x 0.04193 7.30660 > lm3 Call:

Hi there fellow R-users, I am trying to follow an example of modelling a serial correlation structure in the textbook "Mixed Effects Model in S and Splus". However, I am getting some very odd results. Here is what I am trying to run: library(nlme) data(Ovary) fm1<-lme(follicles~sin(2*pi*Time)+cos(2*pi*Time),data=Ovary,random=pdDiag(~s in(2*pi*Time))) ### The example is fine up

Dear all, How can I extract the total and residual d.f. from a gnls object? I have tried str(summary(gnls.model)) and str(gnls.model) as well as gnls(), but couldn?t find the entry in the resulting lists. Many thanks! Best wishes Christoph -- Dr. rer.nat.

Dear list, I have been searching for a week to fit a simple linear model to my data. I have looked into the previous posts but I haven't found anything relevant to my problem. I guess it is something simple...I just cannot see it. I have the following data frame, named "data", which is a subset of a microarray experiment. The columns are the samples and the rows are the probes. I
