similar to: polr (MASS): score test for proportional odds model

In the following, I'm fitting a logistic regression model, and using car:::influencePlot. When I run the latter with output to the screen, it calls identify() that lets me label observations with large CookD. However, if I use postscript() to get .eps output, identify() seems not to be called at all. If instead, I use dev.copy2eps() after getting output to the screen, the point labels

Hello, I'm trying to fit a special kind of proportional odds model from: Whitehead et al. (2001). Meta-analysis of ordinal outcome using individual patient data. Statistics in medicine 20: 2243-2260. (model 2) The data are as follows: library(nlme) library(geepack) library(Design) library(MASS) options(contrasts=c("contr.SAS","contr.poly")) counts <-

I'm pretty sure that I did everything right, but my R is just not drawing the mosaicplot that I want, and there is also no error messege, looks like this right now: > mosaicplot(arthritis) > mosaicplot(~ sex + treatment + improved, data = arthritis, color = TRUE) > -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/problems-with-mosaic-plot-tp3090128p3090128.html Sent

Hi, I want to do a global likelihood ratio test for the proportional odds logistic regression model and am unsure how to go about it. I am using the polr() function in library(MASS). 1. Is the p-value from the likelihood ratio test obtained by anova(fit1,fit2), where fit1 is the polr model with only the intercept and fit2 is the full polr model (refer to example below)? So in the case of the

Hi all!! I am using a proportinal odds model to study some ordered categorical data. I am trying to predict one ordered categorical variable taking into account only another categorical variable. I am using polr from the R MASS library. It seems to work ok, but I'm still getting familiar and I don't know how to assess goodness of fit. I have this output, when using response ~ independent

Hello, I am using polr(...) to generate a model. The summary shows the coefficients and the intercepts. For example: coefficient for x1 = c1 coefficient for x2 = c2 intercept A|B = i1 intercept B|C = i2 I can then run predict(..., type="p") with the model and see the odds for each factor. For example: A B C 1 0.3 0.5 0.2 2 0.4

Hey, everyone, I am using proportional odds model for ordinal responses in dose-response experiments. For some samll data, SAS can successfully provide estimators of the parameters, but the built-in function polr() in R fails. Would you like to tell me how to make some change so I can use polr() to obtain the estimators? Or anyone can give me a hint about the conditions for the existance of MLE

In an Rweave tutorial written for possibly naive R users, I felt it necessary to explain why table() had to be used inside with(), whereas other tools like xtabs() had a data= argument. with() is quite nice for such cases, but it seems an unnecessary thing to learn right off. Before I turn this question into a request for R-devel, is there any inherent reason why it might be hard to add a

Hello dear R-help mailing list, I wish to perform a non-parametric repeated measures anova. If what I read online is true, this could be achieved using a mixed Ordinal Regression model (a.k.a: Proportional Odds Model). I found two packages that seems relevant, but couldn't find any vignette on the subject: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/repolr/

Hi all, The problem is that when you try to use the function summary of a polr object in a function, it does not work. The problem is not related to the formula or the structure of data involved. It is probably related to the use of the function "vcov" in the code of summary for polr, and the iterative procedure to estimate the Hessian. Anyway, here there is an example extracted from

Dear all, To modelize the abundance of fish (4 classes) with a set of environmental variables, I used the polr and predict.polr functions. I would like to know how to bring the cumulated probabilities back to a discrete ordinal scale. For the moment I used the predict.polr function with the argument "class". Is there an other way? polrf <- polrf <- polr_mod(formula =

Dear all, I have used polr in MASS but I am uncertain about the summary(polr.object) interpretation and would be happy for help on that. This is my summary: > summary(shade.polr) Re-fitting to get Hessian Call: polr(formula = as.ordered(shade) ~ as.factor(objekt), data = sof, weights = as.numeric(frek)) Coefficients: Value Std. Error t value 2.1699520 0.3681840 5.8936612

Dear R helpers, I would like to ask why polr occasionally generates results that look very odd. I have been trying to compare the power of proportional odds logistic regression with the Wilcoxon test. I generated random samples, applied both tests and extracted and compared the p-values, thus:- library(MASS) c1=rep(NA,100); c2=c1 for (run in 1:100) { dat=c(rbinom(20,12,0.65),rbinom(20,12,0.35))

Dear members of the list, I'm fitting ordinal regressions using polr, and in some models I get the error copied below. Dependent variable is an ordered factor of bird abundance categories, and predictors are continuous habitat variables. > ro6 <- polr(formula = abun ~ InOmbrot + Oliva.OC + ToCultAr + DivCulArb + AltitMax + COORXY) > summary(ro6) Re-fitting to get Hessian

I'm running polr() and getting warning messages from glm.fit(). It seems reasonable to use glm.control() to turn on the trace and follow what glm.fit() does when called by polr(); or is it? glm.control(maxit=10, trace=TRUE) polr(act~., data=mm) The glm.control() sets the trace TRUE, but there's no change in the output from polr(). Many thanks in advance for any help/pointers.

Dear community, I am currently trying to fit an ordinal logistic regression model with the polr function. I often get the same error message : "attempt to find suitable starting values failed", for example with : require(MASS) data(iris) polr(Species~Sepal.Length+Sepal.Width+Petal.Length+Petal.Width,iris) (I know the response variable Species should be nominal but I do as levels

Hi, I'm getting an error message using polr(): Error in optim(start, fmin, gmin, method = "BFGS", hessian = Hess, ...) : initial value in 'vmmin' is not finite The outcome variable is ordinal and factored, and the independant variable is continuous. I've checked the source code for both polr() and optim() and can't find any variable called

I am new to R, ordered logistic regression, and polr. The "Examples" section at the bottom of the help page for polr<http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-patched/library/MASS/html/polr.html>(that fits a logistic or probit regression model to an ordered factor response) shows options(contrasts = c("contr.treatment", "contr.poly")) house.plr <- polr(Sat ~ Infl +

Dear all, I've replicated the cheese tasting example on p175 of GLM's by McCullagh and Nelder. This is a 4 treatment (rows) by 9 ordinal response (cols) table. Here's my simple code: #### cheese library(MASS) options(contrasts = c("contr.treatment", "contr.poly")) y = c(0,0, 1, 7, 8,8,19, 8,1, 6,9,12,11, 7,6, 1, 0,0, 1,1, 6, 8,23,7,
