Will this do? best, Simon
## simulate some data...
set.seed(1)
joint <- c(rep(1,20),rep(2,20),rep(3,20))
time <- runif(60)+1
subject <- factor(rep(1:12,rep(5,12)))
mu <- time*joint
joint <- factor(joint)
y <- rgamma(mu,mu)
## fit model
b <- glmmPQL(y~joint*time,random=~1|subject,family=Gamma(link="identity"))
## extract fixed effect parameter estimates and covariance matrix
fix.b <- b$coefficients$fixed
V.b <- b$varFix
## Create a `prediction matrix'
pd <- data.frame(time = rep(seq(1,2,length=100),3),
joint=factor(c(rep(1,100),rep(2,100),rep(3,100))))
Xp <- model.matrix(~joint*time,pd)
## use it to get predictions and associated standard errors
mu <- Xp %*% fix.b
mu.se <- diag(Xp%*%V.b%*%t(Xp))^.5 ## inefficient for readability
## check this is done right
range(mu - predict(b,pd,level=0))
## produce plot
plot(pd$time[1:100],mu[1:100],main="joint==1",type="l")
lines(pd$time[1:100],mu[1:100]+2*mu.se[1:100],lty=2)
lines(pd$time[1:100],mu[1:100]-2*mu.se[1:100],lty=3)
