I read something on http://glmm.wikidot.com/faq, under "How can I deal with overdispersion in GLMMs?":
library(lme4) ## 1.0-4set.seed(101) d <- data.frame(y=rpois(1000,lambda=3),x=runif(1000), f=factor(sample(1:10,size=1000,replace=TRUE))) m1 <- glmer(y~x+(1|f),data=d,family=poisson) overdisp_fun(m1)## chisq ratio rdf p ## 1026.7780815 1.0298677 997.0000000 0.2497659 library(glmmADMB) ## 0.7.7 m2 <- glmmadmb(y~x+(1|f),data=d,family="poisson") overdisp_fun(m2)## chisq ratio rdf p ## 1026.7585031 1.0298480 997.0000000 0.2499024 In both case, the chisq is > rdf, does it mean there is over dispersion? thanks for any help [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
