Hi All, The data set that I have is a cluster data, and I want to run a HLM mixed model with multi-level response. Here is my data set: response: - Level (num: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - 5 levels) Covariates: - Type (Factor: A, B, C - 3 levels) - yr (num: 2006, 2007, ...) - Male (num: 0=not Male, 1=Male - 2 levels) - Ethnicity (Factor: A, B, H, ..., - 7 levels) - ELL (num: 0, 1, - 2 levels) - Disability (num: 0, 1, - 2levels) - avgTransfers (num with missing values) - sdTransfers (num with missing values) - agec (num with missing values) - PctELL (num) - PctDisability (num) - PctMale (num) Random Effects: - Schoolid, Teacherid, Studentid
library(MCMCglmm) y <- MCMCglmm(factor(Level) ~ Type+factor(yr>=2006)+Male+Ethnicity+ELL+ avgTransfers+sdTransfers+agec+Disability+ELL*pctELL+Disability*pctDisability+ pctMale+factor(yr>=2008)*factor(Grade), random=~Schoolid+Teacherid+Studentid, family="categorical", data=data[data$Grade>=4,]) Error in MCMCglmm(FCATprofLevel ~ transferTypeCat + factor(yr >= 2008) + : please use idh(trait):units, us(trait):units or trait:units for error structures involving catgeorical data with more than 2 categories Does anyone know how I can fix it?
