在lmer回归中,我只需要两个类别

I am attempting to estimate a multilevel model. My code is:

我正在尝试估计一个多层次模型。我的代码是:

fullModel2 <- lmer(pharmexp_2001 ~ gdp_1000_gm + health_exp_per_cap_1000_gm + life_exp +
                   labour_cost_1000_gm + (year_gm|lowerID), data=adat, REML=F)

which results in the following model:

其结果为:

Linear mixed model fit by maximum likelihood  ['lmerMod']
Formula: pharmexp_2001 ~ gdp_1000_gm + health_exp_per_cap_1000_gm + life_exp +      
         labour_cost_1000_gm + (year_gm | lowerID)
   Data: adat

     AIC      BIC   logLik deviance df.resid 
  1830.2   1859.9   -906.1   1812.2      191 

Scaled residuals: 
    Min      1Q  Median      3Q     Max 
-2.5360 -0.6853 -0.0842  0.4923  4.0051 

Random effects:
 Groups   Name        Variance Std.Dev. Corr 
 lowerID  (Intercept) 134.6851 11.6054       
          year_gm       0.4214  0.6492  -1.00
 Residual             487.5324 22.0801       
Number of obs: 200, groups: lowerID, 2

Fixed effects:
                            Estimate Std. Error t value
(Intercept)                -563.7924    75.4125  -7.476
gdp_1000_gm                  -0.9050     0.2051  -4.413
health_exp_per_cap_1000_gm   37.5394     6.3943   5.871
life_exp                      8.8571     0.9498   9.326
labour_cost_1000_gm          -1.3573     0.4684  -2.898

Correlation of Fixed Effects:
            (Intr) g_1000 h____1 lif_xp
gdp_1000_gm -0.068                     
hl____1000_  0.374 -0.254              
life_exp    -0.996  0.072 -0.393       
lbr_c_1000_ -0.133 -0.139 -0.802  0.142

I know that it's a problem that the correlation is -1 by random effects, but I have a bigger problem. I have to plot my results, but only I need 2 lines: when lowerID=0 and when lowerID=1. So I want to plot pharmaexp_2001 on the y-axis against year on the x-axis, but I need only 2 lines (by lowerID). I know that I have to use predict.merMod, but how can I plot these results, plotting only these two lines? Currently my plot has 21 lines (because I analyse pharmaceutical expenditure in 21 countries).

我知道随机效应的相关性是-1是一个问题,但我有一个更大的问题。我需要画出结果,但只需要两行:当小写id =0和当小写id =1。我想在y轴上绘制pharmaexp_2001,在x轴上绘制年份,但我只需要2行(用小写id)。我知道我必须使用预测。merMod,但是我怎么画这些结果,只画这两条线呢?目前我的地块有21条线(因为我分析了21个国家的医药支出)。

You only need to specify the two IDs in newdata. Here is an example based on sleepstudy data in R. I assume you want to plot the predicted values on the y-axis. Just replace the code with your data and variables, you will obtain the predicted values for lowerID==0 and lowerID==1. Then you can use your code to plot the two lines for the two IDs.

您只需在newdata中指定这两个id。这里有一个基于r的睡眠研究数据的例子,我假设你想在y轴上绘制预测值。只需用您的数据和变量替换代码,您将获得小写id =0和小写id =1的预测值。然后您可以使用您的代码为这两个id绘制两行代码。
