Re: [R] What happen for Negative binomial link in Lmer fonction?

2009-11-20 Thread Emmanuelle Robardet

Dear R users,
As I have no answer to my las reply i try again.
If the binomal negative link has never been implemented in the lmer
fonction, 
and as it was working when I did it some months ago,
What kind of result did I get?

This is the exemple of the answer of R when i was using lmer with negative
binomal family:

m1a<-lmer(atpos~ninter+saison+milieu*zone+(1|code),family=neg.bin(0.429),method="Laplace",data=manu)
summary(m1a)
Generalized linear mixed model fit using Laplace 
Formula: atpos ~ ninter + saison + milieu * zone + (1 | code) 
   Data: manu 
 Family: Negative Binomial(log link)
   AIC   BIC logLik deviance
 125.1 147.6 -54.57109.1

Thank you for your answers,
Best Regards
Emmanuelle

Well, I can believe that lme4 0.9975-10 may have allowed families that were
not
hard-coded (e.g., negative binomial with a fixed overdispersion parameter).
I would expect the results to be reasonable.  However, lme4 has gone through
a lot of changes. If you have an old copy around and your results pass all
the
sanity checks you can think of, I might go ahead and use them -- otherwise
you will have to deal with glmmADMB, WinBUGS, AD Model Builder
(or lme4 with quasipoisson family) ...

Seems the message below and the thread have reveived no attention/answer. The 
output presented is quite tricky. Looks like if lmer (lme4 0.9975-10) 
has accepted a negative binomial link with reasonable estimates, although it 
was not designed for... 

What can one think about result validity ?

Thank you for your answers,

I have an exemple of that i was using:

m1a<-lmer(atpos~ninter+saison+milieu*zone+(1|code),family=neg.bin(0.429),method="Laplace",data=manu)
summary(m1a)

   Data: manu

I think It was the version lme4 0.9975-10.
Unfortunately, I have this version no more available on my computer..
I wonder if this old results are still valid..

Thank you for your answers,

I have an exemple of that i was using:

m1a<-lmer(atpos~ninter+saison+milieu*zone+(1|code),family=neg.bin(0.429),method="Laplace",data=manu)
summary(m1a)

   Data: manu 
 Family: Negative Binomial(log link)
   AIC   BIC logLik deviance
 125.1 147.6 -54.57109.1

I think It was the version lme4 0.9975-10.
Unfortunately, I have this version no more available on my computer..
I wonder if this old results are still valid..

I too would be extremely surprised if it had worked in the past,
considering that I have never implemented it.

I did exchange email with Bill Venables about it and we formulated
what seems to be a reasonable approach but it hasn't made it to the
top of the "To Do" list yet.  Right now the big push is on code to
profile the log-likelihood with respect to the parameters so we can
actually get confidence intervals and, the holy grail of
mixed-modeling, p-values.

I would be extremely surprised if this worked in the past; to
the best of my knowledge the negative binomial family has
never been implemented in lmer.  One could in principle
do a glmmPQL fit with the negative binomial family
(with a fixed value of the overdispersion parameter).
glmmADMB is another option.
Can you say which version etc. you were using???

Follow-ups should probably be sent to r-sig-mixed-mod...@r-project.org
