Just recently, I was contacted by a researcher who wanted to use influence.ME to obtain model estimates from which iteratively some data was deleted. In his case, observations were nested within an area, but there were very unequal numbers of …
I’m highly excited to announce that influence.ME is now available. Influence.ME is a new software package for R, providing statistical tools for detecting influential data in mixed models. It has been developed by Rense Nieuwenhuis, Ben Pelzer, and Manfred te …
The organizing committee of the useR! 2009 conference just informed me, that my submission for presenting my extension package influence.ME, has been accepted! Influence.ME is a new R package that I’m currently developing, with the indispensable help of Ben Pelzer …
There are various ways of getting your output from R to your publication draft. Most of them are highly efficient, but unfortunately I couldn’t find a function that combines the output from several (lmer) models and presents it in a …
Multilevel models, or mixed effects models, can easily be estimated in R. Several packages are available. Here, the lmer() function from the lme4-package is described. The specification of several types of models will be shown, using a fictive example. A detailed description of the specification rules is given. Output of the specified models is given, but not described or interpreted.
Please note that this description is very closely related to the description of the specification of the lme() function of the nlme-package. The results are similar and here exactly the same possibilities are offered.
