How to compare GAMs that include random effects and factors?

I am trying to make a model comparison (say, for hypothesis testing) of two GAMs (mgcv package), where both models include random effects smooth term (s(bs="re")), and the second model additionally include a factor variable. So: gm0 <- gam(y ~…

How can I incorporate a categorical variable with ~200 levels in a nonlinear mixed effects model in R?

I am trying to fit a nonlinear mixed effects model with a categorical variable genotype that has around 200 levels. So this is the linear version of the model. mlinear <- lmer(WUE ~ moisture * genotype + (1|pot), data = d8) Now I'm trying to make…

How do I get the within-group association using lme4 in r?

Setup: I'm testing if the association between pairs of individuals for a trait (BMI) changes over time. I have repeated measures, where each individual in a pair gives BMI data at 7 points in time. Below is a simplified data frame in long format…

Changing colour of data points according to random effect using plot_model

I want to plot the regression between a response variable and one of the explanatory variables in a mixed effects model while also showing the data points. For this I am using the function plot_model(). I would also like the data points to have…

Random Slope model Assumptions

What are the assumptions of a random slope model? In particular I am interested in knowing the assumptions about level-1 and level-2 residuals and what are their expected theoretical distributions. My model in R is this, OUTCOME ~…

Model convergence warning with negative binomial glmer

I've read several posts about having convergence issues with glmer and I have tried a couple recommended work arounds (changing optimizer, changing model iterations, etc.) but nothing seems to resolve my convergence issue. I was wondering if someone…

How to determine the correct mixed effects structure in a binomial GLMM (lme4)?

Could someone help me to determine the correct random variable structure in my binomial GLMM in lme4? I will first try to explain my data as best as I can. I have binomial data of seedlings that were eaten (1) or not eaten (0), together with data of…

Linear mixed effects models in R - mixed advice on random effects factors with less than 5 levels

I ran an experiment where I moved subjects arm about the elbow to a reference position, returned it to a home position and then asked them to try and replicate the position, all without vision of their arm. I then measured the error in their…

Does the "subset" command in MuMIn's dredge function work with random effects?

I have the following GLMM with a random slope that I'm conducting model averaging on using MuMIn "dredge" (I don't think my dataset is relevant so I'm just including the code here): sett_global2 <- glmmTMB(sett_dens~ depth_scale + sst_six_scale +…

Estimating logsitic parameters and random effects with nlme

I have managed to fit logistic curves to fit growth models for 129 fish belonging to 3 groups. Unfortunately the parameters I got were not consistent and very often the models I tried have crashed. Therefore I've simulated a data set on which I've…
