r - Does the varIdent function, used in LME work fine? -

-

i glad if me solve problem. have data repeated measurements design, tested reaction of birds (time.dep) before , after infection (exper). have fl (fuel loads, % of lean body mass), fat score , group (experimental vs control) explanatory variables. decided use lme, because distribution of residuals doesn’t deviate normality. there problem homogeneity of residuals. variances of groups “before” , “after” , between fat levels differ (fligner-killeen test, p=0.038 , p=0.01 respectively). 

   ring    group fat time.dep  fl   exper 1 xz13125     e   4     0.36 16.295 before 2 xz13125     e   3     0.32 12.547  after 3 xz13126     e   3     0.28  7.721 before 4 xz13127     c   3     0.32  9.157 before 5 xz13127     c   3     0.40 -1.902  after 6 xz13129     c   4     0.40 10.382 before

after have selected random part of model, random-intercept (~1|ring), have applied weight parameter both “fat” , “exper” (varcomb(varident(form=~1|fat), varident(form=~1|exper)). plot of standardized residuals vs. fitted looks better, still violation of homogeneity these variables (same values in fligner test). do wrong?

a common trap in lme default give raw residuals, i.e. not adjusted of heteroscedasticity (weights) or correlation (correlation) sub-models may have been used. ?residuals.lme:

type: optional character string specifying type of residuals used. if ‘"response"’, default, “raw” residuals (observed - fitted) used; else, if ‘"pearson"’, standardized residuals (raw residuals divided corresponding standard errors) used; else, if ‘"normalized"’, normalized residuals (standardized residuals pre-multiplied inverse square-root factor of estimated error correlation matrix) used. partial matching of arguments used, first character needs provided.

thus if want residuals corrected heteroscedasticity (as included in model) need type="pearson"; if want them corrected correlation, need type="normalized".

i having problem, have grid called "gridbasica" , this: thisform.gridbase.recordsource = "sgviemp" sgviemp cursor made executing select sqlserver command sqlexec. when want modify registry, go form , the update there. so, when come form grid, grid isnt grid anymore, big white rectangle. reading around said: delete recordsource , asingt again. thisform.gridbase.recordsource = "" *--i sqlexe here thisform.gridbase.recordsource = "sgviemp" i , works, but, when click button modify again cursos updated modify form doesnt load fields did first time. could me out that? thanks in advance. --------------- edit ------------------ i have been doing recommended: lnselect = select(0) n = sqlexec(thisform.conexion,"select emp_ccodigo codigo, emp_cnombre 'nombre o razon social', emp_cnumrif 'r.i.f' sgviempr","sgviemp1") set echo on suspend select sgviemp zap in sgviemp *-- browse *--zaps correct

jquery - Set jPicker field to empty value -

im using jpicker color selector in form. have clear value set window/icon 'no color selected' state. i've tried following: $(':input[name="color"]').val(''); //access value directly. (does not affect jpicker) 2: $.jpicker.list[0].color.active.val('hex', '', this); //set color black , input value 000000, instead of empty string 3: $.jpicker.list[0].color.active.val(null, '', this); //does nothing none of 3 methods seems behave properly. in advance. this works me :) $.jpicker.list[0].color.active.val('v', null); here example: http://jsfiddle.net/3up7n/
