I first heard of Julia a couple of years ago. It was presented as an alternative to R, SAS, and Stata. I had a look and I really liked it.The syntax just made sense. I could see where I might need to go to other languages, but it seemed worth pursuing. I started in a new position, and decided to u…

I have been reading this forum since Covid started. I have looked at all the guidelines. I tried to do everything right when writing my post. Perhaps you could explain exactly what was wrong. as yorur post is very generic.

The very first item in Make it easier to help you the list reads Choose a descriptive title that captures the key part of your question, eg “plots with multiple axes” instead of something generic like “help me with plotting” . Make use of tags and categories (you can edit those and the title afte…

[image] timbp: Perhaps you could explain exactly what was wrong. as yorur post is very generic. If you want to post a specific technical question like, “How do I fit generalised linear multilevel models including offsets?”, that is likely to lead to constructive discussions. But “Julia is us…

Also just to clearly say there is not concerted (or any, really, as far as I’m aware) effort to “turn Julia into Python”. You might want to look at [image] PSA: Julia is not at that stage of development anymore Internals & Design You heard about this brand new exciting p…

Could you show what code you tried to pass offsets to negbin? From a quick look at the code, it seems like passing offset like to glm should work, though it’s undocumented (which should be fixed if that’s the case).

[image] timbp: So I tried fitting in MixedModels.jl . And I got a warning that I should not try fitting models with a dispersion parameter in MixedModels. So Julia itself is telling me it is not suitable for my work (that’s why I love this language). Maybe @palday or @dmbates can comment on t…

There seems to be a lot going on here. MixedModels.jl does support GLMMs with offsets (added in March 2021 ) MixedModels.jl does not support negative binomial models and, as of right now, we don’t have any plans to add in that support. Negative binomial is only in the exponential family under certa…
