Hi,

I have run a Tukey Kramer on my mixed effects models (using lmer). However,
I have non-normal data that can't really be transformed because it includes
negative numbers. So, I have opted to use a parametric bootstrap to deal
with the violation of the assumptions.

Here is my code for the mixed effects models and the parametric bootstraps,
which runs fine.

T.chicka.full<-lmer(Chicka ~ Stimuli + Playback + (1|House) + (1|Season),
na.action="na.exclude", data=chick, REML = "F")


T.chicka.null<-lmer(Chicka ~ Playback + (1|House) + (1|Season), na.action=
"na.exclude", data=chick, REML = "F")


T.chicka.full

anova(T.chicka.null, T.chicka.full)


#BOOTSTRAPPING#

chicka.boot<-numeric(1000)

for(i in 1:1000){

chicka.est <- unlist(simulate(T.chicka.null))

null.chicka<-lmer(chicka.est ~ 1 + (1|House[!is.na(chick$Chicka)]) + (1|
Season[!is.na(chick$Chicka)]), na.action="na.exclude", REML=F)

alt.chicka<- lmer(chicka.est ~ Stimuli[!is.na(chick$Chicka)] + (1|House[!
is.na(chick$Chicka)]) + (1|Season[!is.na(chick$Chicka)]), na.action=
"na.exclude", REML=F)

chicka.boot[i] <- 2*(logLik(alt.chicka) - logLik(null.chicka))

}

(sum(chicka.boot > 26.656) + 1)/1000 #p-value = 0.001

hist(chicka.boot)

However, I am trying to run a parametric bootstrap on my Tukey Kramer code,
but cannot figure out how to combine them. Below is my code for the Tukey
Kramer.

#TUKEYS#

comp.T.chicka <- glht(T.chicka.full, linfct = mcp(Stimuli="Tukey"))

print(summary(comp.T.chicka))


chick$stimuliplayback <- interaction(chick$Stimuli, chick$Playback)

model.T.chicka <- lmer(Chicka ~ stimuliplayback + (1|House) + (1|Season),
na.action="na.exclude", data=chick)

comp.stimuli.playback <- glht(model.T.chicka, linfct=mcp(stimuliplayback=
"Tukey"))

summary(comp.stimuli.playback)


If anyone knows how to incorporate the Tukey Kramer code into the
parametric bootstrap code I would appreciate any help I can get.
Alternatively, if anyone has suggestions for another way to bootstrap Tukey
Kramer I would also be so appreciative.

Thank you!
A
