Bootstrap components for non-normal data
Description
Extracts additive genetic, non-additive genetic, and maternal variance components from a generalized linear mixed-effect model using the glmer function of the lme4 package. Model random effects are dam, sire, and dam by sire.
Usage
resampGlmer(resamp, dam, sire, response, fam_link, start, end, quasi = F)
Arguments
resamp |
Data frame of bootstrap resampled 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"). |
start |
Starting model number. |
end |
Ending model number. |
quasi |
Incorporate overdispersion or quasi-error structure. |
Details
Used for bootstrap resampled data set produced using resampRepli or resampFamily. 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. 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. The number of rows in the data frame matches the number of iterations in the resampled data set and each row represents a model number.
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.
