Is it possible to construct a discrete-time multilevel hazard model in R?

Yes, you can use R and lme4 for fitting discrete-time multilevel hazard models. According to Hox (2010, p. 163) "[t]he discrete or grouped survival model extends readily to multilevel models [...]". … Please find below the table from Hox' book: And here is the corresponding R code and the results based on lme4. …

After trying various optimzers, model simplification running more iterations, when fitting G...

Variable Set has only 6 categories. My guess is that this is not enough information to appropriately estimate the variance of the random effects. Most books on multilevel modeling suggest sample sizes …

Using glmer to replicate result from lmer for mulitlevel modelling in R

Did you check the help page of lmer? It is pretty clear about the relationship between lmer and glmer: The ‘lmer’ and ‘glmer’ functions are nearly interchangeable. If ‘lmer’ is called with a no …

Test in R of whether three or more correlations from independent samples are equal

Most meta-analysis packages in R can do this test, for instance, meta or metafor. … I will provide an example for the meta package (differences are due to rounding errors): library(meta) library(psychometric) dfr <- data.frame(r=c(0.2, 0.5, 0.6), n=c(200, 150, 75)) dfr$z <- r2z(dfr$r
