Basically, I haven't gotten around to adding a contrast.lmer methods yet. It's only my list, but in the short term, you are welcome to contribute code to the package. There have also been discussions on this list about the appropriateness of such contrats with nonlinear models, but I need to imple

plugged it together myself - obviously this should work: m0<-lm(rich ~ gap*stage,data=richness) cc<-contrast(m0, list(stage = levels(stage), gap = "1"), list(stage = levels(stage), gap = "0")) # plug in matrix from contrast(m0) summary(glht(m3, linfct = cc$X)) Simultaneous Tests for

[R] contrasts for lmer model

2010-05-19 Thread Kay Cichini
hello, i found it most convenient to use package contrast for planned comparisons on mixed models. for instance i have a model with 2 fixed factors, one with 4 levels (stage) and one with 2 levels (gap) and a nested random factor (site) and i tested gap within level A of factor stage: library(co
