Hello,
I am using the survey package for the first time to analyze a dataset that
has both weights and 200 BRR replication weights. When I try to run svyglm
on the output from svrepdesign, I get an error message that I do not know
how to interpret, and an extended period of time searching for this error
on the web hasn't returned any results that seem relevant to my situation.
I have no idea how to proceed with my analysis at this point, so I am
hoping that someone with more experience with this package and with R in
general would be willing to help me figure out what the problem is.
Here is my code:
surveydatastructure <- svrepdesign(repweights=dataset[, 29:228] ,
data=dataset, weights=dataset$WTA000)
modeloutput <- svyglm(model, design=surveydatastructure,
family=quasibinomial() )
The model is defined in an earlier line of code, but for the sake of
readability here, I have not included it. The dataset has a binary
dependent variable and a combination of categorical and continuous
variables as dependent variables. There is missing data in the dataset,
represented by blank "cells" in the data frame. The data itself is
restricted but I can describe any part of it as necessary.
Here is the error message that R returns when I enter the svyglm function
line of code:
Error in if (!(validmu(mu) && valideta(eta))) stop("cannot find valid
starting values: please specify some", : missing value where TRUE/FALSE
needed
Thanks for reading my post, and thanks in advance for any help!
Sincerely,
Claire
