How to fit a binomial GLMM in lme4?

How to fit a binomial GLMM in lme4?

I fitted a binomial GLMM using ‘glmer’ from the lme4 package (because ‘glmmML’ doesn’t compute on my data and glmmPQL does not provide AIC) and did model selection using drop1 repeatedly until no more terms can be dropped. Here is the final model (let’s assume it has been validated):

How to fit negative binomial to LMM model?

For historical reasons, the shape parameter of the negative binomial and the random effects parameters in our (G)LMM models are both called theta ( θ ), but are unrelated here. The negative binomial θ can be extracted from a fit g <- glmer.nb () by getME (g, “glmer.nb.theta”) .

How to fit a negative mass to a GLMM?

To fit a negative binomial model with known overdispersion parameter (e.g. as part of a model comparison exercise, use glmer with the negative.binomial family from the MASS package, e.g. glmer(…,family=MASS::negative.binomial(theta=1.75)).

How to get a negative GLMM from glmer.nb?

The negative binomial θ can be extracted from a fit g <- glmer.nb () by getME (g, “glmer.nb.theta”) . Parts of glmer.nb () are still experimental and methods are still missing or suboptimal. In particular, there is no inference available for the dispersion parameter θ, yet.

How to plot A binomial GLMM with a proportional response variable?

How to plot (in R) a binomial GLMM with a proportional response variable [cbind (Successes, Failures) variable], and a continuous fixed factor? How to plot (in R) a binomial GLMM with a proportional response variable [analyzed using cbind (Successes, Failures)], and a continuous fixed factor?

How to include nesting factor in a GLMM?

In the case of balanced data, this can be written equivalently N n 1 > N k or n 1 > k. In other words you need to have less random parameters than the number of observations in each cluster/group, subject in your case. This cannot be the case if you add the group/task term in the random part.

Is the GLMMs an extension of generalized linear regression?

Alternatively, you could think of GLMMs as an extension of generalized linear models (e.g., logistic regression) to include both fixed and random effects (hence mixed models). The general form of the model (in matrix notation) is:

How to obtain global p-values for each categorical factor?

I need advice on obtaining “global” p-values for each categorical factor (in an “ANOVA like” way) I fitted a binomial GLMM using ‘glmer’ from the lme4 package (because ‘glmmML’ doesn’t compute on my data and glmmPQL does not provide AIC) and did model selection using drop1 repeatedly until no more terms can be dropped.

How many categorical predictors are in my data?

My data has a binary response (correct/incorrect), one continuous predictor score, three categorical predictors ( race, sex, emotion) and a random intercept for the random factor subj. All predictors are within-subject. One of the categorical factor has 3 levels, the other have two.
