Hello everybody. In my case, calculating multiple comparisons (Tukey) after lmer produced the following two errors:
> sv.mc <- glht(model.sv,linfct=mcp(comp="Tukey")) Error in x$terms : $ operator not defined for this S4 class Error in factor_contrasts(model) : no 'model.matrix' method for 'model' found! What I have done before: > sv.growth <- groupedData(length~meas|box_id,outer=~comp,data=sv.growth) > model.sv <- lmer(length~comp+(meas|box_id),data=sv.growth) Warning message: In .local(x, ..., value) : Estimated variance-covariance for factor 'box_id' is singular > summary(model.sv) Linear mixed-effects model fit by REML Formula: length ~ comp + (meas | box_id) Data: sv.growth AIC BIC logLik MLdeviance REMLdeviance 1587 1606 -786.4 1605 1573 Random effects: Groups Name Variance Std.Dev.
