GlmmPQL help

2 messages · Mark Steer, Spencer Graves

Hi,

I'm running a GLMM on binomial choice data.  The outputs I receive are 
sensible except for the degrees of freedom, which come out much larger than 
expected.  Can anyone advise please?

Exptl design:
Response = Choice
Fixed Factors = Position, Treatment and Sex
Random Factor = ID nested within Treatment and Sex
Covariate = Delay

The model:
glmmPQL(FreeChoice ~ Position * Treatment + Sex + Delay, random = list(~Sex 
+ Treatment|Name), family = binomial)

Thanks, Mark

Have you received a reply to this question?  If you still want an 
answer, please submit a much simpler, self-contained example that 
someone can copy from your email into R, examine possibly with other 
tools and offer comments in a minute or two.  Please include the output, 
labeling clearly the degrees of freedom in question, what you think the 
number should be and why.  I believe that will increase the chances that 
you will get a useful reply quickly.
