Hello, I work with a mixed model with 4 predictor variables Time, Size, Charge, Density and Size, Charge, Density are factors, all with two levels. Hence I want to put their interactions with Time into the model. But, I have two data sets (Replication 1 and 2) and I want that Replication is random effect. Here is my code:
knots <- default.knots(Time) z <- outer(Time, knots, "-") z <- z * (z > 0) z<-z^2 i.size50 <- I(Size==50) i.chargepos <- I(Charge=="+") i.densitylow <- I(Density==0.001) X <- cbind( I(Time^2),Time*i.size50,Time*i.chargepos,Time*i.densitylow) Z <- cbind( z, z*i.size50, z*i.chargepos,z*i.densitylow) K <- length(knots) block.ind <- list(1:K, (K+1):(2*K),(2*K+1):(3*K),(3*K+1):(4*K)) Z.block <- list() for (i in 1:length(block.ind)) Z.block[[i]] <- as.formula(paste("~Z[,c(",paste(block.ind[[i]],collapse=","),")]-1")) group <- rep(1, length(Time)) model.data <- groupedData(y~X|group, data=data.frame(X, y)) fit <- lme(y~-1+X, data=model.data, random=pdBlocked(list( pdBlocked(Z.block,pdClass="pdIdent"), pdIdent(~-1+ Replication) )) ,control=list(maxIter=1000, msMaxIter=1000, niterEM=1000)) It gives errror: "Error: getResponseFormula(el) : "Form" must be a two sided formula" Does anybody help how can I write random part?
