[R] Growth Curves with lmer

2010-08-11 Thread Michael Scharkow
Dear all, I have some growth curve data from an experiment that I try to fit using lm and lmer. The curves describe the growth of classification accuracy with the amount of training data t, so basically y ~ 0 + t (there is no intercept because y=0 at t0) Since the growth is somewhat nonlinear

Classification accuracy is an improper scoring rule, and one of the problems with it is that the proportional classified correctly can be quite good even if the model uses no predictors. [Hence omitting the intercept is also potentially problematic.] Frank E Harrell Jr Professor and
