[R-sig-ME] lme4 categorical outcome probability values at each time point

[Evan Palmer-Young]

Dear Igor,
Am new to the list, so defer by all means to more experienced opinions.
My suggestion would be to use the "lsmeans" package and the inverse logit
transformation
(to get back to the scale of probabilities from the hard-to-interpret
logits)

If you have time as a factor this will be no problem.
So before you run the model, specify
vse$Time<-as.factor(vse$Time)
#then use lsmeans by R Lenth
#see
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/lsmeans/vignettes/using-lsmeans.pdf
#example
# lsmeans(oranges.lm1, "day", at = list(price1 = 50, price2 = c(40,60), day
= c("2","3","4")) )
Newdf<- summary(lsmeans(workshop, ~Time*Condition))
#or if Time is numeric:
Newdf<- summary(lsmeans(workshop, ~Time*Condition, at=list(Time=c(1, 2, 3))

#if you need to graph standard errors, create a new column with raw std
errors first,
#then transform the mean +/- SE
Newdf$sehi<-Newdf$lsmean+ Newdf$SE
Newdf$selo<-Newdf$lsmeans - Newdf$SE
#now apply inverse logit
library(boot)
Newdf$meanprop<-inv.logit (Newdf$lsmean)
Newdf$prophi<-inv.logit(Newdf$sehi)
Newdf$proplo<-inv.logit(Newdf$selo)

You should be able to plot the resulting variables using ggplot2 or your
package of choice.
You could also use inv.logit on the 95% confidence limits, though the error
bars tend to get pretty enormous with these reverse transformations and may
not seem to reflect any significant differences in your model.
Hope this helps!
Evan
