similar to: Difference between GEE and Robust Cluster Standard Errors

Dear R community I am using the gee package to run logistics regression on paired cases from a panel sample. We are getting request from a reviewer to use sample weights to account for different level of attrition. After searching the documentation I am unable to find a way to incorporate sample weights into the gee formula. I found a way to incorporate precision weight but I understand that I

Hello, The journal I am publishing in requires MS Word files. What is my best option for getting a high quality image of a graph done in R into Word? JPEG? Postscript?

I am having some difficulties to locate the standard error from GEE output. -----------sample output using list (geemodel)------------------------ Link: Identity Variance to Mean Relation: Gaussian Correlation Structure: Exchangeable Call: gee(formula = days.sick1 ~ bmi + age + gender + surveyround2 + surveyround3, id = childid, data = dat, family = gaussian,

I want to create a dataset in R with spatial correlation (i.e. clustering) built in for a linear regression analysis. Any tips on how to do this?

Greetings, I have a very, very, simple research question. I want to predict one dichotomous variable using another dichotomous variable. Straightforward, right? The issue is that the dataset has two issues causing some complications for me. 1) The subjects are not independent -- they are sibling pairs. Every person in the dataset has a sibling in the dataset. This needs to be treated a

Dear all, I need to fit a gee model with an auto-regressive correlation structure and I faced some problems. I attach a simple example: ####################################################### library(gee) library(geepack) # I SIMULATE DATA FROM POISSON DISTRIBUTION, 10 OBS FOR EACH OF 50 GROUPS set.seed(1) y <- rpois(500,50) x <- rnorm(500) id <- rep(1:50,each=10) # EXAMPLES FOR

Hello, I am interested in running generalized estimating equation models in R. Currently there are two main packages for doing so in R, geepack and gee. I understand that even though one can obtain similar to almost identical results using either of the two, that there are differences between the packages. The paper that introduces the geepack package (

Dear List: I found an error when I called the 'gee' function. I cannot solve and explain it. There are no errors when I used the 'geeglm' function. Both functions fit the gee model. The project supervisor recommends me to use the 'gee' function. But I cannot explain to him why this error happens. Would you help me solve this problem? I appreciate your help. In

Hi, I am trying to install gee on our server but I get the error below. I do not have root on this machine so no control on how R was installed itself. It looks like it cannot find blas libs, the only ones i can find on the machine are: /usr/lib64/libblas.so.3 -> libblas.so.3.0.3 /usr/lib64/libblas.so.3.0 -> libblas.so.3.0.3 /usr/lib64/libblas.so.3.0.3 and : $ R CMD config BLAS_LIBS

windows Vista R 2.10.1 Is it possible to get p values from gee?

Does anyone know how could I get the significant codes from mixed model output fitted with a GEE package? The output I got is the following: GEE: GENERALIZED LINEAR MODELS FOR DEPENDENT DATA gee S-function, version 4.13 modified 98/01/27 (1998) Model: Link: Logit Variance to Mean Relation: Binomial Correlation Structure: Exchangeable Call: gee(formula = bru

Hi all, I have fitted a gee model with the gee package and included restricted cubic spline functions. Here is the model: chol.g <- gee(SKIN ~ rcs(CHOLT, 3), id=ID, data=chol, family=binomial(link="logit"), corstr="exchangeable") To extract the log odds I use: predict.glm(chol.g, type = "link") Now I want to compute the logg odds for specific CHOLT values

Hello, I would like to try to fit a GEE with user-specified link function. I read through a couple of thread on the list, for example http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/04/12/9768.html#start and http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/06/04/25298.html. I noticed that they are all 6 or more years old and the answer is very clear for GLM, however for GEE I am still not sure. There are two

Dear all, I don't understand the following behaviour: Running compar.gee (in library ape ) with and without the option 'data', it give me different results Example: .... Start R .... > load("eiber.RData") > ls() [1] "gee.na" "mydata" "mytree" > library(ape) > # runnig with the option data= mydata > compar.gee(alt ~ R,

Dear R-helpers, I am using the package "gee" to run a marginal model. Here is the output. In my simulated data, both x and z are time-varying, so I include their interaction terms with time indicator (i.e. tind=0, if time 1, and 1 if time 2) The data is simulated, so the true parameter of z both at time 1 and time 2 is 5, which is very close from the model output for time 1, z =

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, my dependent variable is a proportion ("prob.bind"), and the independent variables are factors for group membership ("group") and a covariate ("capacity"). I am interested in the effects of group, capacity, and their interaction. Each subject is observed on all (4) levels of capacity (I use capacity as a covariate because the effect of this variable is normatively

I'm using the function gee from the library(gee) gee(Y~X,id=clust.id,corstr="exchangeable",b=tmc$coef,family=binomial(link=logit),silent=T) Every time it runs, it dutifully prints out Beginning Cgee S-function, @(#) geeformula.q 4.13 98/01/27 user's initial regression estimate [,1] [1,] -4.5278335 [2,] -0.2737999 [3,] -0.9528306 [4,] 0.9393861 [5,]

Hi all, 1. Can nonlinear models be used in gee? For example, I have a dataset which contains 2 variables x and y, I wrote data(ex) atttach(ex) a<-100 b<- -0.5 c<-4.5 d<-20 Then: a. y~gee(y~d+(a-d)/(1+(x/c)^b)) Error in terms.formula(formula, data = data) : invalid power in formula b. y~gee(y~d+(a-d)/(1+(x/c)) Error in model.frame(formula, rownames, variables, varnames, extras,

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 ~
