[R] reading the seed from a simulation

2004-12-17 Thread Suzette Blanchard

Greetings,

I have a simulation of a nonlinear model that
is failing.  But it does not fail til way into the simulation.
I would like to look at the run that is failing
and maybe I could if I could capture the seed for the
failing run.  The help file on set.seed says you can do it
but when I tried

rs-.Random.seed
print(paste(rs,rs,sep= ))

I got 626 of them so I don't know how to identify the right
one.  Please can you help?

Thank you,
Suzette

[R] cubic spline/smoother with nlme

2004-11-10 Thread Suzette Blanchard

Greetings,  I would like to use a cubic spline
or smoother to model the fixed effects within
nlme.  So far the only smoother I have been able
to get to run successfully in nlme is smooth().

I tried smooth.spline:
   fixed=list(lKa~1,lCL~smooth.spline(BSA, df=3))
   the error I got was the following.
   Error in model.frame(formula, rownames, variables, varnames, extras,
   extranames,  :  invalid variable type

Can anyone suggest a cubic spline that would work within
this context?

Thank you for any help you can send,
Suzette

[R] nlme

2003-08-14 Thread Suzette Blanchard

Greetings,

I am trying to use nlme to model a large data set
of pharmacokinetic concentrations with sparse data per cluster.
The base model is a one compartment model with first order absorption.
The program runs but the PNLS step never converges. The parameter
estimates are reasonable. The plot of the individual level residuals is
pretty reasonable and the plot of the residuals from the population model
is ok but not great.

My questions are:

1) I know the PNLS step starts and updates the fixed parameters
and random effects. Step 2 is the LME step and it updates the interpatient
variance.  Does the LME step include both the EM algorithm and a Newton-
Raphson ms step?

2) I set Maxiter=500 interations and I get convergence on what
I think is the LME step but PNLS step never converges. Any suggestions
on what I might do to achieve convergence would be very much appreciated.

Thank you,

Suzette

Yes, that solved the problem.
Thank you,

 Hi

 You probably use numeric id variable.
 I think you need to make an id variable to become a factor.

 e.g. use

 as.factor(id)

 Cheers

  Does anyone know how to get an id number in the little header

  seems to be to print the word id and add a line indicating on
  a linear scale where the current id sits.
 
  Thanks in advance for any help you can send,
