[R] Checking for linearity by ploting residuals against predicted values (lme)?

2008-02-08 Thread Falco tinnunculus
Hello,

Is there a easy way to get p-values when testing linearity of a model
by ploting residuals against predicted values?

[R] How to calculate normality of the residuals from a test in R?

2008-02-07 Thread Falco tinnunculus
Hi,

How do I calculate normality distribution of the residuals from a test in R?

I have tried plot(mod1), and I get a nice plot, but no p-value... is there
some other ways to calculate this?

[R] Basic questions about lme()

2008-02-05 Thread Falco tinnunculus
Hi,
I have some basic questions about lme(), I have run following:
Mod1-lme
summary (Mod1)
anova (Mod1)

   1. What is the differece between the summary result and the anova
   result?
   2. Is it sufficient to only report the anova result in an article?
   3. How is the most proper way to describe the use of this statistics
   in the method chapter in a scientific article?
   4. Is my suggestion below ok?

And here is how I have described it in the method section:
The lme function of the nlme package for R was used to fit linear
mixed-effects (LME) models, using restricted maximum likelihood (REML).
Model selection were computed by using the Akaike Information Criteria
(AIC). The overall test of the model was conducted with ANOVA.

[R] Is it possible with two random effects in lme()?

2008-02-01 Thread Falco tinnunculus
Dear all,

Is it possible with two random effects in lme()?

 lmefit1- lme(Handling ~ Mass + factor(Prey)+ Mass*factor(Prey), random = ~
1 |Place+Age)

Here I use Place as random effect, but I also want to add Age as a random
effect. Since there could be an effect of Age (continous variable), but I
like to control for it rather than locking at the effect of Age on handling
time, since Mass and Prey type are of main interest.

[R] How to run interaction between to categoric variables in lme()?

2008-01-30 Thread Falco tinnunculus
Hello,

How do I run interaction between to categoric variables in lme()?

I tried this:

 lmefit1- lme(Handling ~Mass+factor(Prey)+factor (Decap)+
factor(Prey)*factor(Decap), random = ~ 1 |Place, data=nestling1)

Error in MEEM(object, conLin, control$niterEM) :
Singularity in backsolve at level 0, block 1
