[R-sig-ME] Should I use full models when using Powersim?

Dear all,
I tried using powersim from R package simr to estimate the number of participants that I need for an experiment. I performed the simulation based on the data from my pilot study. The model I used is sketched below:
fit <- glmer(B ~ a+b+a:b
(1+a+b+a:b|Subject) +
(1+a+b+a:b|Item),
family = binomial(link="logit"),
data = data,
control = glmerControl(optimizer="bobyqa",optCtrl=list(maxfun=50000),
tol = .0001))
in which Subject and Item mean the distinct id of subjects and items from the pilot study. I want to know test how the power of the interaction term (a:b) changes with the growth of the number of participants. The code I am using is:
fit2<- extend(fit, along="Subject", n = 84)
sim <- powerCurve(fit2, test = fcompare(~a+b), along = "Subject", breaks=c(48,60,72,84), nsim = 5000)
print(sim)
But the results of the simulation was rather bizarre. To begin with, the power of the interaction grew smaller when the number of participants increased from 72 to 84, which I believe is incompatible with the normal observation that the power increases with the number of participants. Second, I tried using the full random model to perform the simulation, but it is really slow (it took me weeks to get just one result). I was wondering if I can use a simpler random model to perform the simulation.
To reiterate my question: first, why my simulated power decreased with the increase of the number of participants? Is there something wrong with my code? Second, can I use a simpler random model for the simulation in order to save time? Thanks in advance!
Best,
Chi Zhang

Dear all,
I have been using the package nlme for about a year through the software R
Recently, following an update of R (and the corresponding nlme package), in some situations the gls() function does not work.
The following lines of code
require(nlme)
db<-read.csv2("G:\\Dati.csv",as.is=TRUE)
f<-"DELTA_INVNORM_STD ~ 0+ ITOD + EU_CH"
gls(as.formula(f),correlation=corARMA(p=2,q=3,fixed=FALSE),data=db,weights=varExp(),method="ML")
with the old version of R returns the following output:

Hi,
I am trying to build a multivariate model to test for associations between
individual variation in behavioral and other traits. Essentially, I want to
derive two calculations from the model: (1) the repeatability of each of
the three traits within individuals and (2) the correlation between each
pair of traits and between each trait and fitness and trappability (the
latter two have one value per individual).
I have been working on this for some time and have reached a standstill.
Here are the main issues I am facing. Any suggestions would be very
appreciated.
(1) How should a binary variable be modelled? For now, I have modelled it
as Gaussian (with the assumption that 0s and 1s are drawn from some
underlying Gaussian process) so that I can calculate correlations but I
don’t know if this is reasonable. Any thoughts?
(2) I tried to run the below model but received the following error:
Error in priorformat(if (NOpriorG) { :
V is the wrong dimension for some prior$G/prior$R elements
I am sure it has to do with modelling CHARGES as zipoisson - I think I need
to specify the structure for modelling the 0’s but I don’t know where to
start with this.
Below are the variables of interest in case this is useful to know:
logitTAPERETURN: logit-transformed latency to enter a nest once a novel
stimulus was applied / total possible time allowed for trial; trials were
terminated after 5 minutes whether or not bird entered nest; multiple
trials per individual.
CHARGES: number of times an individual attacked the novel stimulus (count
data with many zeros); multiple trials per individual. This could be
expressed as a rate (number of charges / latency to enter nest) but I
decided to model length of trial as a predictor variable using log(latency
to enter nest); trial repeated multiple times per subject
STATUSAFTER: whether the bird stayed in the nest or fled from the nest
(binary)
CAPTURES: number of times an individual was captured (count data with many
ones and no zeros); only one value per individual
RELFITNESS: number of fledglings for individual / mean number of fledglings
across all individuals; only one value per individual
prior_tr_c_sa_nc_f =
list(G=list(G1=list(V=diag(c(1,1,1,0.0001,0.0001),5,5),nu=1.002, fix = 4)),
R=list(V=diag(5),nu=1.002))
I fixed CAPTURES and RELFITNESS because there is not within-individual
variation in these variables.

I'm looking for recommendations on potential teaching assistants for my
4-week advanced multilevel modeling course at the ICPSR summer program in
Ann Arbor, Michigan. If you know of advanced graduate students or postdocs
who might be qualified and interested please let me know off the listserv
or have them email me directly. It's a great program and Ann Arbor is an
absolutely lovely place to spend some time in the summer.
The class pulls from econometrics, biostatistics, and psychometrics and
covers both MLE and Bayesian multilevel modeling. I don't expect anyone to
be comfortable with everything so they'd need to be willing to go through
the material with me in an informal readings bootcamp before the class to
