Hi All,
I attempted to fit a bivariate binary model similar to the example in
the Tutorial:
prior = list(R = list(V = diag(2), n = 0, fix = 2),
G = list(G1 = list(V = diag(2), n = 1)))
model5 <- MCMCglmm(cbind(ANYHR, ANYPO) ~ trait - 1, random =
~us(trait):PROGRAM, rcov = ~idh(trait):units, family=c("categorical",
"categorical"), data = radars, prior = prior, verbose = FALSE)
Error in MCMCglmm(cbind(ANYHR, ANYPO) ~ trait - 1, random =
~us(trait):PROGRAM, :
ill-conditioned G/R structure: use proper priors if you haven't or
rescale data if you have
In this dataset, one of the four cells in the 2x2 table is empty:
Cell Contents
|-------------------------|
| Count |
|-------------------------|
Total Observations in Table: 21335
| ANYPO
ANYHR | 0 | 1 | Row Total |
-------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
0 | 0 | 8999 | 8999 |
-------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
1 | 6458 | 5878 | 12336 |
-------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
Column Total | 6458 | 14877 | 21335 |
-------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
Is there a way to change the specification for prior to make this work?
thanks,
Chuck
