[R] Problems using lmer {lme4}

Dear R list, I'm attaching a sample of my data which consists on the presence/absence (punto6, binomial n=5 occasions) of different species (sp), on different sites (site) within routes ('route). First, I want to be able to find if there is autocorrelation of the response variable between the

It would be better to post this on the r-sig-mixed-models list, I think. -- Bert On Fri, May 17, 2013 at 10:02 AM, Andrea Goijman agoij...@cnia.inta.gov.ar wrote: Dear R list, I'm attaching a sample of my data which consists on the presence/absence (punto6, binomial n=5 occasions) of

Thanks! I didn't know about that list. I forwarded my question there Andrea Bert Gunter wrote It would be better to post this on the r-sig-mixed-models list, I think. -- Bert On Fri, May 17, 2013 at 10:02 AM, Andrea Goijman lt; agoijman@.gov gt; wrote: Dear R list, I'm attaching a

Re: [R] Problems using lmer {lme4}

Hi Andrea, I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do, but you've included a random effect for a site coefficient that's not even in your list of fixed effects... you're basically allowing the coefficient for site to vary across routes, but you're never including the coefficient in the first

Re: [R] Problems using lmer {lme4}

Hi Patrick, Thanks for you reply. I tried adding site fixed effect as you told me, but the program failed again (R stopped working). Basically, what I am trying to do is to test for auto-correlation between sites within routes. My survey takes place in routes, but each route is divided in
