Hello, I am trying to run a linear mixed model using
model.a <- lme(Psstotals ~ Visit, data=caf, random= ~ Visit|Id) My dataset looks lie the following: Id Visit Agecorrected Psstotals 1 106 0 19 8 2 106 1 19 9 3 106 2 19 NA 4 106 3 19 NA 5 106 4 19 NA 6 106 5 19 11 ........................ ............. I have 14 visits for each ID and I do have some missing values for each Id. I get the following error when I run the above model: Error in na.fail.default(list(Visit = c(0L, 1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 5L, 6L, 7L, : missing values in object I do not want to do a listwise deletion as I would like to run model with all available data. So, I tried the following model.a <- lme(Psstotals ~ Visit, data=caf, random= ~Visit |Id, na.action=na.exclude) Is this the right syntax?
