Jackknife components for non-normal data 2
Description
Extracts additive genetic, non-additive genetic, and maternal variance components from a linear mixed-effect model using the lmer function of the lme4 package. Model random effects are dam, sire, and dam by sire. Options to include one random position and/or one random block effect(s).
Usage
JackGlmer2(observ, dam, sire, response, fam_link, position = NULL, block = NULL,
quasi = F, size = 1, first = NULL)
Arguments
observ |
Data frame of observed data. |
dam |
Column name containing dam (female) parent identity information. |
sire |
Column name containing sire (male) parent identity information. |
response |
Column name containing the offspring (response) phenotype values |
.
fam_link |
The family and link in family(link) format. Supported options are binomial(link="logit"), binomial(link="probit"), poisson(link="log"), and poisson(link="sqrt"). |
position |
Optional column name containing position factor information. |
block |
Optional column name containing block factor information. |
quasi |
Incorporate overdispersion or quasi-error structure. |
size |
Default is 1 for delete-one jackknife resampling. If size > 1, delete-d jackknife resampling occurs removing a block d equal to size. |
first |
Number of initial sub-samples to run. Useful for examing if there is variation among sub-samples before jackknife resampling the entire data set. There can be little variation for delete-one jackknife resampling with large data sets, and delete-d jackknife resampling should be considered. |
Details
Uses delete-one jackknife resampling (Efron & Tibshirani 1993, p. 141-145). For the option of delete-d jackknife resampling, the rows of the observed data frame are shuffled and a block of observations of size d is deleted sequentially. Laplace approximation parameter estimation is used, which is a true likelihood method (Bolker et al. 2009). For the overdispersion option, an observation-level random effect is added to the model (Atkins et al. 2013). Extracts the dam, sire, dam, and dam by sire variance components. Extracts optional position and block variance components. The residual variance component for the fam_links are described by Nakagawa and Schielzeth (2010, 2013). Calculates the total variance component. Calculates the additive genetic, non-additive genetic, and maternal variance components (see Lynch and Walsh 1998, p. 603).
Value
A data frame with columns containing the raw variance components for dam, sire, dam by sire, residual, total, additive genetic, non-additive genetic, and maternal. Also columns containing the raw variance components for the options of position and/or block. The number of rows in the data frame matches the total number of observations (N) for delete-one jackknife resampling or M groups for delete-d jackknife resampling to the lowest integer. Each row represents a deleted single observation or deleted d observations group.
Note
The Laplace approximation is used because there were fewer disadvantages relative to penalized quasi-likelihood and Gauss-Hermite quadrature parameter estimation (Bolker et al. 2009). That is, penalized quasi-likelihood is not recommended for count responses with means less than 5 and binary responses with less than 5 successes per group. Gauss-Hermite quadrature is not recommended for more than two or three random effects because of the rapidly declining analytical speed with the increasing number of random effects.
