[R] NLME: Limitations of using identify to interact with scatterplots?

2006-08-17 Thread Greg Distiller
I have a quick question regarding the use of identify to interact with points on a scatterplot. My question is essentially: can identify be used when one is plotting model objects to generate diagnostic plots? Specifically I am using NLME. For example, I am plotting the fitted values on the x ax

[R] plotting grouped data with nlme over several pages

2006-06-01 Thread Greg Distiller
Hi I am struggling to split up the plots of the grouped objects in nlme in a usable way. The standard plot command generates plots for each group on a single page. When there are many groups however this does not look so good. I have discovered the layout option which allows one to split up thes

[R] understanding the verbose output in nlme

2006-06-01 Thread Greg Distiller
Hi I have found some postings referring to the fact that one can try and understand why a particular model is failing to solve/converge from the verbose output one can generate when fitting a nonlinear mixed model. I am trying to understand this output and have not been able to find out much: *

2006-06-29 Thread Greg Distiller
Hi I am having problems using na.action=na.include in a nlme call. Basically I am trying to run a particular model without including any covariates but my dataset does include some covariates (factors) with missing values. My understanding from the Pinheiro and Bates book is that one would use

Hi I am following the model building strategy that is outlined in the Pinheiro and Bates book wrt including covariates but am having a problem with the plot. Basically I am using 4 covariates (1 of them is continuous) and 3 of them are fine but the 4th one is being shown as a scatterplot despite
