interpretation variance-covariance estimates with gaussian and censored exponential
Hi, The linear model is applied on the same link scale for both fixed and random effects so it will be hazards also. Cheers, Jarrod Quoting Van Dongen Stefan <stefan.vandongen at uantwerpen.be> on Thu, 27 Nov 2014 10:45:09 +0000:
Hi All, I am currently running a multivariate animal model which has 3 normally distributed responses and one time-to-event (longevity) response. For the fixed effects part, the estimated slopes for associations with longevity reflects changes or ratio's in hazards (i.e., positive estimate = shorter longevity), but how should I interpret the covariances/correlations in the variance covariance matrices (genetic and environmental)? Correlations with hazards or survival-times? many thanks Stefan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof. Dr. Stefan Van Dongen Evolutionary Ecology - Department of Biology - University of Antwerp (http://www.ua.ac.be/eveco) StatUA Statistics Center, University of Antwerp (http://www.ua.ac.be/statua) Groenenborgerlaan 171 - B-2020 Antwerp - Belgium room V324b, building V, campus Groenenborger Tel: + 32 3 265 33 36 Fax: + 32 3 265 34 74 http://www.ua.ac.be/stefan.vandongen -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
