post hoc tests for glmmTMB

Lenth, Russell V 
With emmeans/lsmeans, it turns out the mistake was in sourcing that obsolete lsmeans-methods.R code. Please  erase all functions in your workspace that begin with "recover.data" or "lsm.basis" -- then you can obtain EMMs without problems, because emmeans support is built-in to the cirrent glmmTMB package. For example:

    require(glmmTMB)
    require(emmeans)

    example("glmmTMB")
    # ... quite a few lines excluded here

    emmeans(m2, "spp")
#   spp        emmean        SE  df   lower.CL  upper.CL

I screwed up -- in a kind of brown-paper-bag way...

I think it may work with emmeans if you do this:

    recover.data <- function(object, ...) UseMethod("recover.data")
    lsm.basis <- function(object, ...) UseMethod("lsm.basis")
    recover.data.default <- function(object, ...) emmeans::recover_data(object, ...)
    lsm.basis.default <- function(object, ...) emmeans::emm_basis(object, ...)

Hope this helps.

Dear list,

I am trying to perform post hoc tests on a glmmTMB model. I would normally use car::Anova and mulgcomp::glht on my glmms (lmers). However, these functions do not appear to be working for glmmTMB (when I run the model as an lmer they work fine). I have also tried lsmeans and emmeans but they do not appear to support glmmTMB either (although it appears they used to). I have found various treads online suggesting that these functions should work with TMB but they date back a few months.

I am using the most up to date versions of R (3.5.1) and have updated all of my packages e.g. glmmTMB 0.2.2.0, lsmeans 2.30-0

The following are the error messages that I receive:
subscript out of bound
dimensions of coefficients and covariance matrix don't match
Can't handle an object of class  ?glmmTMB?
 Use help("models", package = "emmeans") for information on supported models.> rw.emm.s <- emmeans(topmodTRFETE, "roadworks")Error in ref_grid(object, ...) :
  Can't handle an object of class  ?glmmTMB?
 Use help("models", package = "emmeans") for information on supported models.


Can any point me in the direction of a workaround for performing posthocs on my glmmTMB model?

Many thanks,
