[R-sig-ME] MCMCglmm with a AR(1)

Thanks Jarrod,

Unfortunately the data I have spans a few months with repeated measurements and each individual participates the survey at random time points.
Yes. I would consider a vector autoregressive (VAR(p)).
And sorry for the messy data. The example data and code looks like follows. Also it would be greatly appreciated if you comment whether there is any mistakes in the code (without AR(1)).

Hi,

MCMCglmm cannot fit AR1 models but it can fit 1st-order antedependence models (an ar1 process sampled from time t=0 rather than from the stationary process). That being said, it only really works when you have short-time series where all observations have been sampled at the same time. I'm not sure if this is your case? Its also not clear how you would set up the AR1 for a 5-category multinomial  - something like a vector autoregressive might make sense but this is not implemented in MCMCglmm except for Gaussian traits and at the observation-level rather than the residual level. For non-Gaussian traits, particularly multinomial, you're probably going to have to code the model yourself in stan/JAGS if you want autocorrelation at the observation-level.

Cheers,

Jarrod



(except for Gaussian traits and at the observation-level).
