[R] question on lmer function

2008-12-02 Thread Richard Palmer
suppose something like probability(passing test) is driven by

   1. fixed effects  -- sex
   2. district effects - district funding
   3. school effects - neighborhood income, racial composition, % two parent
   families, ...
   4. class effects - teacher quality measurement,
   5. individual random effects - IQ.

how would such a model be setup in lmer?  I can't find much discussion on
the web.

Is there extended documentation somewhere on lmer?

Thanks Harold,  I will review the lmer vignette again.

 There is much more information that you need to provide before a
 thoughtful answer can be provided. Maybe you can describe the structure
 of your data, your outcome variable, etc. There is a vignette in the
 lmer package called 'Implementation' that will show you some methods for
 model fitting.

 With that said, at the most basic level, a model of the form

 response = \mu + beta(covariate) + a_j + e_ij, a_j ~ N(0,r^2), e_ij ~
 N(0, s^2)

 Might be as follows in lmer

  lmer(response ~ covariate + (1|covariate), ... )

[R] lmsqreg

2008-11-20 Thread Richard Palmer-Jones
Dear Niels

I am trying to construct some anthropometric standards for adults using LMS
and GAMLSS in R. I saw that you had a problem that I have with the package
lmsqreg of the package being reported as not a valid package. I presume
you solved your problem, but I did not see how in the r-help list. Can you
help?

 

Thanks, 

 

Richard Palmer-Jones

[R] New to R. Question about very large files

2008-08-14 Thread Richard Palmer
.. I am new to R but experienced in SAS.  SAS has the capability to let me
develop a model from a sample and use the results to score the records of
another file which won't fit in memory.  Is this straightforward in R or
does it require coding to do the scoring in segments?  Can someone point me
to sample code that I can copy or modify to do this quickly?
