Hi all I am trying to generate a normal unbalanced data to estimate the coefficients of LM, LMM, GLM, and GLMM and their standard errors. Also, I am trying to estimate the variance components and their standard errors. Further, I am trying to use the likelihood ratio test to test H0: sigma^2_b = 0 (random effects variance component), and the t-test to test H0:mu=0 (intercept of the model Yij = mu + Bi + Eij). I am using the following program all.fix.coef.lme <- rep(NA,R) all.fix.coef.lm <- rep(NA,R) all.fix.coef.glm <- rep(NA,R) all.se.fix.coef <- rep(NA,R) all.fix.coef.glmm <- rep(NA,R) all.se.fix.coef.glmm <- rep(NA,R) all.varcomp.g <- rep(NA,R) all.se.varcomp.g2 <- rep(NA,R) all.se.varcomp.gD <- rep(NA,R) all.se.fix.coef.adapt <- rep(NA,R) vb<-rep(NA,R) yb<-rep(NA,R) va<-rep(NA,R) mse<-rep(NA,R) msa<-rep(NA,R) maxH0<-rep(NA,R) maxH1<-rep(NA,R) tstat1 <- rep(NA,R) tstat2 <- rep(NA,R) tstatD<- rep(NA,R) tstatad <- rep(NA,R) tstatlme <- rep(NA,R) tstatlm <- rep(NA,R) sigmahatesq <- rep(NA,R) sigmahatbsq <- rep(NA,R) est.ICC <- rep(NA,R) all.fix.coef.lm <- rep(NA,R) all.se.fix.coef.lm <- rep(NA,R) all.se.fix.coef.glm <- rep(NA,R) all.se.fix.coef.adapt.lm <- rep(NA,R) F<- rep(NA,R) F1<- rep(NA,R) lrt <- rep(NA,R) lrtest <- rep(NA,R) yb <- rep(NA,R) varyb <- rep(NA,R) var <- rep(NA,R) var1 <- rep(NA,R) D<- rep(NA,R) Lrt <- function(k, R=250,m, c, stop=FALSE){ if(stop) browser() set.seed(421) options(digits = 3) for(case in 1:3){ if(case==1) c <- 1:3 if(case==2) c <- 5:15 if(case==3) c <- 25:150 for(r in(1:R)){ n <- c*m y <- rep(rnorm(m),each=c)+ rnorm(m*c) g <- as.factor(rep(1:m,each=c)) test <- data.frame(cbind(g,y)) #test$h <- 1:3 test.lme1 <- lme (y~1, test, random = ~1|g) #test.lme2 <- lme (y~1, test) glm <- glm(y~1) test.lm <- lm (y~1) glmm <- glmmPQL (y~1, test, random = ~1|g, family=gaussian) all.se.fix.coef.lm[r] <- as.vector(sqrt(vcov(test.lm))) all.fix.coef.lme [r] <- as.vector(fixef(test.lme1)) all.fix.coef.lm [r] <- as.vector(coef(test.lm)) all.fix.coef.glm [r] <- as.vector(coef(glm)) all.se.fix.coef [r] <- as.vector(sqrt(vcov(test.lme1))) all.fix.coef.glmm[r] <- as.vector(fixef(glmm)) all.se.fix.coef.glmm[r] <- as.vector(sqrt(vcov(glmm))) lrtest[r]<- -2* (logLik(test.lme1, REML = TRUE))#- logLik(test.lme2, REML = TRUE)) if (lrtest[r]> 1.64) all.se.fix.coef.adapt[r]<-sqrt(vcov(test.lme1)) else all.se.fix.coef.adapt[r]<-sqrt(vcov(glm)) est.ICC[r] <- as.numeric(VarCorr(test.lme1)[1,1])/( as.numeric(VarCorr(test.lme1)[1,1])+test.lme1$sigma^2) all.varcomp.g [r] <-as.vector(as.numeric(VarCorr(test.lme1)[1,1])) if (test.lme1$apVar[1] == "Non-positive definite approximate variance-covariance") { all.se.varcomp.g2[r] <- NA tstat2[r] <- 0 } else { all.se.varcomp.g2[r] <- sqrt(test.lme1$apVar[2,2]) tstat2[r]<- all.varcomp.g[r]/all.se.varcomp.g2[r] } all.se.varcomp.gD[r] <- sqrt(2/c*( c*as.numeric(VarCorr(test.lme1)[1,1]) + as.numeric(VarCorr(test.lme1)[2,1]))^2/(n+c)+(2/(c^2*(n-m+2))* as.numeric(VarCorr(test.lme1)[2,1])^2)) tstatD[r] <- all.varcomp.g[r]/all.se.varcomp.gD[r] tstatlme[r]<- abs(all.fix.coef.lme[r]/all.se.fix.coef[r]) tstatlm[r]<-abs(all.fix.coef.lm[r]/all.se.fix.coef.lm[r]) tstatad [r]<-abs(all.fix.coef.lme[r]/all.se.fix.coef.adapt[r]) } } list(m, c, round(mean(all.se.fix.coef.adapt, na.rm = T), 3), round(mean(all.se.fix.coef.lm, na.rm = T ),3), round(mean(all.se.fix.coef, na.rm = T ), 3), round(sqrt(var(all.fix.coef.lme, na.rm = T)),3), round(mean(all.se.fix.coef.glmm), 3), #round(mean(all.fix.coef.glmm), 3), length(lrtest[lrtest>1.64])/2.50, length(tstatlm[tstatlm>1.64])/2.5, length(tstatlme[tstatlme>1.64] )/2.5, length(tstatad[tstatad>1.64] )/2.5, round(mean(lrtest[lrtest>0]),3), #round(var(lrtest[lrtest>0]), 3), #length(lrtest[lrtest>0])/2.5, length(tstatD[tstatD>1.64])/2.5, length(lrtest[lrtest>1.64])/2.5, lrtest ) } for (i in m) { for(j in c) { m = i c = j A.i<- Lrt(0, ,m,c) se.table <- rbind(se.table, A.i) } } write.table(se.table, sep=”&”)
