Common usage
A minimal call of mmrm(), consisting of only formula and
data arguments will produce an object of class mmrm,
mmrm_fit, and mmrm_tmb.
Here we fit a mmrm model with us (unstructured)
covariance structure specified, as well as the defaults of
reml = TRUE and control = mmrm_control().
library(mmrm)
fit <- mmrm(
formula = FEV1 ~ RACE + SEX + ARMCD * AVISIT + us(AVISIT | USUBJID),
data = fev_data
)The code specifies an MMRM with the given covariates and an
unstructured covariance matrix for the timepoints (also called visits in
the clinical trial context, here given by AVISIT) within
the subjects (here USUBJID). While by default this uses
restricted maximum likelihood (REML), it is also possible to use ML, see
?mmrm.
Printing the object will show you output which should be familiar to
anyone who has used any popular modeling functions such as
stats::lm(), stats::glm(),
glmmTMB::glmmTMB(), and lme4::nlmer(). From
this print out we see the function call, the data used, the covariance
structure with number of variance parameters, as well as the likelihood
method, and model deviance achieved. Additionally the user is provided a
printout of the estimated coefficients and the model convergence
information:

From the high-level mmrm()
interface, common changes to the default function call can be
specified.
Control Function
For fine control, mmrm_control()
is provided. This function allows the user to choose the adjustment
method for the degrees of freedom and the coefficients covariance
matrix, specify optimization routines, number of cores to be used on
Unix systems for trying several optimizers in parallel, provide a vector
of starting parameter values, decide the action to be taken when the
defined design matrix is singular, not drop unobserved visit levels. For
example:
mmrm_control(
method = "Kenward-Roger",
optimizer = c("L-BFGS-B", "BFGS"),
n_cores = 2,
start = c(0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0),
accept_singular = FALSE,
drop_visit_levels = FALSE
)Note that this control list can either be passed via the
control argument to mmrm, or selected controls
can be directly specified in the mmrm call. We will see
this below.
Starting Values
The starting values will affect the optimization result. A better
starting value usually can make the optimization more efficient. In
mmrm we provide two starting value functions, one is
std_start and the other is emp_start.
std_start will try to use the identity matrix as the
covariance, however there are convergence problems for ar1
and ar1h if the identity matrix is provided, thus for these
two covariance structures we use \(\rho=0.5\) instead. emp_start
will try to use the empirical covariance matrix of the residuals of the
ordinary least squares model as the starting value for unstructured
covariance structure. If some timepoints are missing from data, identity
matrix will be used for that submatrix. The correlation between existing
and non-existing timepoints are set to 0.
As the starting values will affect the result, please be cautious on choosing the starting values.
Example of Default Starting Value Fails
Here we provide an example where the std_start fails. In
the following code chunk, we will create a dummy dataset for mmrm
analysis.
gen_data <- function(
n = 100,
mu = -100 / 52,
delta = 50 / 52,
mua = 2000,
sigmaa = 300,
sigmab = 60,
corab = 0.2,
sigma = 10,
times = c(0, 2, 6, 12, 24, 36, 52, 70, 88, 104)) {
nt <- length(times)
out <- data.frame(
pts = rep(seq_len(n * 2), each = nt),
trt = rep(c("Treatment", "Placebo"), rep(n * nt, 2)),
time = rep(times, n * 2)
)
covab <- corab * sigmaa * sigmab # cov between a and b
cov <- matrix(c(sigmaa^2, covab, covab, sigmab^2), ncol = 2) # Cov matrix for the slope and intercept
si <- rbind(
MASS::mvrnorm(n, mu = c(mua, mu + delta), Sigma = cov),
MASS::mvrnorm(n, mu = c(mua, mu + delta), Sigma = cov)
)

problems. We can also force a specific optimization algorithm and add
control details, here e.g. choosing nlminb with increased
maximum number of function evaluations and iterations.
REML or ML
Users can specify if REML should be used (default) or if ML should be used in optimization.

Users can specify which optimizer should be used, changing from the
default of four optimizers, which starts with L-BFGS-B and
proceeds through the other choices if optimization fails to converge.
Other choices are BFGS, CG,
nlminb and other user-defined custom optimizers.
L-BFGS-B, BFGS and CG are all
implemented with stats::optim() and the Hessian is not
used, while nlminb is using stats::nlminb()
which in turn uses both the gradient and the Hessian (by default but can
be switch off) for the optimization.

#> Model Inference Optimization:

That is, there cannot be time points with multiple observations for any subject. The rationale is that these observations would need to be correlated, but it is not possible within the currently implemented covariance structure framework to do that correctly. Moreover, for non-spatial covariance structures, the time variable must be coded as a factor.
Weighting
Users can perform weighted MMRM by specifying a numeric vector
weights with positive values.
fit_wt <- mmrm(
formula = FEV1 ~ RACE + ARMCD * AVISIT + us(AVISIT | USUBJID),
data = fev_data,
weights = fev_data$WEIGHT

Grouped covariance structures are supported by themmrm
package. Covariance matrices for each group are identically structured
(unstructured, compound symmetry, etc) but the estimates are allowed to
vary across groups. We use the form
cs(time | group / subject) to specify the group
variable.
Here is an example of how we use ARMCD as group
variable.
fit_cs <- mmrm(
formula = FEV1 ~ RACE + ARMCD * AVISIT + cs(AVISIT | ARMCD / USUBJID),
data = fev_data,
reml = FALSE
)
VarCorr(fit_cs)

#> VIS4 10.98112 10.98112 10.98112 49.58110We can see that the estimated covariance matrices are different in
different ARMCD groups.
Adjustment Method
In additional to the residual and Between-Within degrees of freedom,
both Satterthwaite and Kenward-Roger adjustment methods are available.
The default is Satterthwaite adjustment of the degrees of freedom. To
use e.g. the Kenward-Roger adjustment of the degrees of freedom as well
as the coefficients covariance matrix, use the method
argument:
A list of all allowed method is
- “Kenward-Roger”
- “Satterthwaite”
- “Residual”
- “Between-Within”
fit_kr <- mmrm(
formula = FEV1 ~ RACE + ARMCD * AVISIT + us(AVISIT | USUBJID),
data = fev_data,
method = "Kenward-Roger"
)Note that this requires reml = TRUE, i.e. Kenward-Roger
adjustment is not possible when using maximum likelihood inference.
While this adjustment choice is not visible in the print()
result of the fitted model (because the initial model fit is not
affected by the choice of the adjustment method), looking at the
summary we see the method and the correspondingly adjusted
standard errors and degrees of freedom:

#> VIS4 13.5288 7.3219 1.0341 95.6006For one-dimensional contrasts as in the coefficients table above, the degrees of freedom are the same for Kenward-Roger and Satterthwaite. However, Kenward-Roger uses adjusted standard errors, hence the p-values are different.
Note that if you would like to match SAS results for an unstructured covariance model, you can use the linear Kenward-Roger approximation:
fit_kr_lin <- mmrm(
formula = FEV1 ~ RACE + ARMCD * AVISIT + us(AVISIT | USUBJID),
data = fev_data,
method = "Kenward-Roger",
vcov = "Kenward-Roger-Linear"
)This is due to the different parametrization of the unstructured covariance matrix, see the Kenward-Roger vignette for details.
Variance-covariance for Coefficients
There are multiple variance-covariance estimator available for the coefficients, including:
- “Asymptotic”
- “Empirical” (Cluster Robust Sandwich)
- “Empirical-Jackknife”
- “Empirical-Bias-Reduced”
- “Kenward-Roger”
- “Kenward-Roger-Linear”
Please note that, not all combinations of variance-covariance for coefficients and method of degrees of freedom are possible, e.g. “Kenward-Roger” and “Kenward-Roger-Linear” are available only when the degrees of freedom method is “Kenward-Roger”.
Details can be found in Coefficients Covariance Matrix Adjustment vignette and Weighted Least Square Empirical Covariance.
An example of using other variance-covariance is:
fit_emp <- mmrm(
formula = FEV1 ~ RACE + ARMCD * AVISIT + us(AVISIT | USUBJID),
data = fev_data,
method = "Satterthwaite",
vcov = "Empirical"
)Keeping Unobserved Visits
Sometimes not all possible time points are observed in a given data set. When using a structured covariance matrix, e.g. with auto-regressive structure, then it can be relevant to keep the correct distance between the observed time points.
Consider the following example where we have deliberately removed the
VIS3 observations from our initial example data set
fev_data to obtain sparse_data. We first fit
the model where we do not drop the visit level explicitly, using the
drop_visit_levels = FALSE choice. Second we fit the model
by default without this option.
sparse_data <- fev_data[fev_data$AVISIT != "VIS3", ]
sparse_result <- mmrm(
FEV1 ~ RACE + ar1(AVISIT | USUBJID),
data = sparse_data,
drop_visit_levels = FALSE
)
dropped_result <- mmrm(
FEV1 ~ RACE + ar1(AVISIT | USUBJID),
data = sparse_data
)
#> In AVISIT there are dropped visits: VIS3We see that we get a message about the dropped visit level by default. Now we can compare the estimated correlation matrices:

VIS3 from the covariance matrix. As a consequence, we model
the correlation between VIS2 and VIS4 the same
as the correlation between VIS1 and VIS2.
Hence we get a smaller correlation estimate here compared to the first
result, which includes VIS3 explicitly.
Extraction of model features
Similar to model objects created in other packages, components of
mmrm and mmrm_tmb objects can be accessed with
standard methods. Additionally, component()
is provided to allow deeper and more precise access for those interested
in digging through model output. Complete documentation of standard
model output methods supported for mmrm_tmb objects can
be found at the package website.
Summary
The summary method for mmrm objects
provides easy access to frequently needed model components.
fit <- mmrm(
formula = FEV1 ~ RACE + ARMCD * AVISIT + us(AVISIT | USUBJID),
data = fev_data
)
fit_summary <- summary(fit)From this summary object, you can easily retrieve the coefficients table.

The residuals method for mmrm objects can
be used to provide three different types of residuals:
- Response or raw residuals - the difference between the observed and fitted or predicted value. MMRMs can allow for heteroscedasticity, so these residuals should be interpreted with caution.
fit <- mmrm(
formula = FEV1 ~ RACE + ARMCD * AVISIT + us(AVISIT | USUBJID),
data = fev_data
)
residuals_resp <- residuals(fit, type = "response")- Pearson residuals - the raw residuals scaled by the estimated standard deviation of the response. This residual type is better suited to identifying outlying observations and the appropriateness of the covariance structure, compared to the raw residuals.
residuals_pearson <- residuals(fit, type = "pearson")- Normalized or scaled residuals - the raw residuals are ‘de-correlated’ based on the Cholesky decomposition of the variance-covariance matrix. These residuals should approximately follow the standard normal distribution, and therefore can be used to check for normality (@galecki2013linear).
residuals_norm <- residuals(fit, type = "normalized")
broom extensions
mmrm also contains S3 methods methods for
tidy, glance and augment which
were introduced by broom. Note that
these methods will work also without loading the broom
package. Please see ?mmrm_tidiers for the detailed
documentation.
For example, we can apply the tidy method to return a
summary table of coefficient estimates:

Specific model quantities not supported by methods can be retrieved
with the component()
function. The default will output all supported components.
For example, a user may want information about convergence:
component(fit, name = c("convergence", "evaluations", "conv_message"))
#> $convergence
#> [1] 0
#>
#> $evaluations
#> function gradient
#> 17 17
#>
#> $conv_message
#> [1] "CONVERGENCE: REL_REDUCTION_OF_F <= FACTR*EPSMCH"or the original low-level call:
component(fit, name = "call")
#> mmrm(formula = FEV1 ~ RACE + ARMCD * AVISIT + us(AVISIT | USUBJID),
#> data = fev_data)the user could also ask for all provided components by not specifying
the name argument.
component(fit)Lower level functions
Low-level mmrm
The lower level function which is called by mmrm()
is fit_mmrm().
This function is exported and can be used directly. It is similar to mmrm()
but lacks some post-processing and support for Satterthwaite and
Kenward-Roger calculations. It may be useful for other packages that
want to fit the model without the adjustment calculations.
fit_mmrm(
formula = FEV1 ~ RACE + ARMCD * AVISIT + us(AVISIT | USUBJID),
data = fev_data,
weights = rep(1, nrow(fev_data)),
reml = TRUE,
control = mmrm_control()
)

This package supports estimation of one- and multi-dimensional
contrasts (t-test and F-test calculation) with the df_1d()
and df_md()
functions. Both functions utilize the chosen adjustment method from the
initial mmrm call for the calculation of degrees of freedom
and (for Kenward-Roger methods) the variance estimates for the
test-statistics.
One-dimensional contrasts
Compute the test of a one-dimensional (vector) contrast for a
mmrm object with Satterthwaite degrees of freedom.
fit <- mmrm(
formula = FEV1 ~ RACE + SEX + ARMCD * AVISIT + us(AVISIT | USUBJID),
data = fev_data
)
contrast <- numeric(length(component(fit, "beta_est")))
contrast[3] <- 1
df_1d(fit, contrast)
#> $est
#> [1] 5.643565
#>
#> $se
#> [1] 0.6656093
#>
#> $df
#> [1] 157.1382
#>
#> $t_stat
#> [1] 8.478795
#>
#> $p_val
#> [1] 1.564869e-14This works similarly when choosing a Kenward-Roger adjustment:
fit_kr <- mmrm(
formula = FEV1 ~ RACE + SEX + ARMCD * AVISIT + us(AVISIT | USUBJID),
data = fev_data,
method = "Kenward-Roger"
)
df_1d(fit_kr, contrast)
#> $est
#> [1] 5.643565
#>
#> $se
#> [1] 0.6740941
#>
#> $df
#> [1] 157.1382
#>
#> $t_stat
#> [1] 8.372073
#>
#> $p_val
#> [1] 2.931654e-14We see that because this is a one-dimensional contrast, the degrees of freedoms are identical for Satterthwaite and Kenward-Roger. However, the standard errors are different and therefore the p-values are different.
Additional options for the degrees of freedom method are
Residual and Between-Within.
Multi-dimensional contrasts
Compute the test of a multi-dimensional (matrix) contrast for the
above defined mmrm object with Satterthwaite degrees of
freedom:
contrast <- matrix(data = 0, nrow = 2, ncol = length(component(fit, "beta_est")))
contrast[1, 2] <- contrast[2, 3] <- 1
df_md(fit, contrast)
#> $num_df
#> [1] 2
#>
#> $denom_df
#> [1] 165.5553
#>
#> $f_stat
#> [1] 36.91143
#>
#> $p_val
#> [1] 5.544575e-14And for the Kenward-Roger adjustment:
df_md(fit_kr, contrast)
#> $num_df
#> [1] 2
#>
#> $denom_df
#> [1] 165.5728
#>
#> $f_stat
#> [1] 35.99422
#>
#> $p_val
#> [1] 1.04762e-13We see that for the multi-dimensional contrast we get slightly different denominator degrees of freedom for the two adjustment methods.
Also the simpler Residual and Between-Within method
choices can be used of course together with multidimensional
contrasts.
Support for emmeans
This package includes methods that allow mmrm objects to
be used with the emmeans package. emmeans
computes estimated marginal means (also called least-square means) for
the coefficients of the MMRM. For example, in order to see the
least-square means by visit and by treatment arm:
library(emmeans)
#> mmrm() registered as emmeans extension
lsmeans_by_visit <- emmeans(fit, ~ ARMCD | AVISIT)
lsmeans_by_visit
#> AVISIT = VIS1:
#> ARMCD emmean SE df lower.CL upper.CL
#> PBO 33.3 0.755 148 31.8 34.8

#> PBO 48.4 1.189 134 46.0 50.7
#> TRT 52.8 1.188 133 50.4 55.1
#>
#> Results are averaged over the levels of: RACE, SEX
#> Confidence level used: 0.95Note that the degrees of freedom choice is inherited here from the
initial mmrm fit. Furthermore, we can also obtain the
differences between the treatment arms for each visit by applying
pairs() on the object returned by emmeans()
earlier:
pairs(lsmeans_by_visit, reverse = TRUE)
#> AVISIT = VIS1:
#> contrast estimate SE df t.ratio p.value
#> TRT - PBO 3.77 1.074 146 3.514 0.0006
#>
#> AVISIT = VIS2:
#> contrast estimate SE df t.ratio p.value

#> AVISIT = VIS4:
#> contrast estimate SE df t.ratio p.value
#> TRT - PBO 4.40 1.681 133 2.617 0.0099
#>
#> Results are averaged over the levels of: RACE, SEX(This is similar like the pdiff option in SAS
PROC MIXED.) Note that we use here the reverse
argument to obtain treatment minus placebo results, instead of placebo
minus treatment results.
To further obtain the confidence interval of the least square mean
differences, we can apply confint() on the result returned
by pairs() .
This is similar to the LSMEANS in SAS, with
CL and DIFF options.
confint(pairs(lsmeans_by_visit, reverse = TRUE))

This package includes methods that allow mmrm objects to
be used with the car::Anova function. Anova
conducts type II/III hypothesis testing for the effect in
mmrm models. For example, in order to see if the used
covariates are related to the response:
library(car)
#> Loading required package: carData
#> mmrm() registered as car::Anova extension
Anova(fit, type = "II")

initial mmrm fit. In addition, please note that if you see
results that are slightly different from SAS, it could be because the
reference level is set differently for categorical covariates. We can
also use type III hypothesis testing:
Anova(fit, type = "III")

mmrm is compatible to work in a tidymodels
workflow. The following is an example of how such a workflow would be
constructed.
Direct fit
First we define the direct method to fit an mmrm model
using the parsnip package functions
linear_reg() and set_engine().
-
linear_reg()defines a model that can predict numeric values from predictors using a linear function -
set_engine()is used to specify which package or system will be used to fit the model, along with any arguments specific to that software. We can set the method to adjust degrees of freedom directly in the call.
model <- linear_reg() |>
set_engine("mmrm", method = "Satterthwaite") |>
fit(FEV1 ~ RACE + ARMCD * AVISIT + us(AVISIT | USUBJID), fev_data)

#> Converged with code 0 and message: convergence: rel_reduction_of_f <= factr*epsmchWe can also pass in the full mmrm_control object into
the set_engine() call:
model_with_control <- linear_reg() |>
set_engine("mmrm", control = mmrm_control(method = "Satterthwaite")) |>
fit(FEV1 ~ RACE + ARMCD * AVISIT + us(AVISIT | USUBJID), fev_data)Predictions
Lastly, we can also obtain predictions with the
predict() method:
predict(model, new_data = fev_data)
#> # A tibble: 800 × 1
#> .pred
#> <dbl>
#> 1 32.5
#> 2 40.0
#> 3 45.7
#> 4 20.5
#> 5 28.0
#> 6 31.5
#> 7 36.9
#> 8 48.8
#> 9 30.7
#> 10 36.0
#> # ℹ 790 more rowsNote that we need to explicitly pass new_data because
the method definition does not allow to default it to the data set we
used for the model fitting automatically.
By using the type = "numeric" default of
predict() as above we cannot further customize the
calculations. We obtain predicted values without confidence intervals or
standard errors.
On the other hand, when using type = "raw" we can
customize the calculations via the opts list:
predict(
model,
new_data = fev_data,
type = "raw",
opts = list(se.fit = TRUE, interval = "prediction", nsim = 10L)
)

predict() method returns for mmrm objects.
Note that this cannot be changed to return a tibble at the
moment.
Similarly, we can also use the augment() method to add
predicted values to a new data set:
augment(model, new_data = fev_data) |>
select(USUBJID, AVISIT, .resid, .pred)

#> 9 PT3 VIS1 NA 30.7
#> 10 PT3 VIS2 0 36.0
#> # ℹ 790 more rowsNote that here we cannot customize the predict options
as this is currently not supported by the augment() method
in parsnip.
Using mmrm in workflows
We can leverage the workflows package in order to fit
the same model.
- First we define the specification for linear regression with the mmrm engine.
- Second we define the workflow, by defining the outcome and predictors that will be used in the formula. We then add the model using the formula.
- Lastly, we fit the model

The mmrm package is based on previous work internal in
Roche, namely the tern and tern.mmrm packages
which were based on lme4. The work done in the
rbmi package has been important since it used
glmmTMB for fitting MMRMs.
We would like to thank Ben Bolker from the glmmTMB team
for multiple discussions when we tried to get the Satterthwaite degrees
of freedom implemented with glmmTMB (see https://github.com/glmmTMB/glmmTMB/blob/satterthwaite_df/glmmTMB/vignettes/satterthwaite_unstructured_example2.Rmd).
Also Ben helped us significantly with an example showing how to use
TMB for a random effect vector (https://github.com/bbolker/tmb-case-studies/tree/master/vectorMixed).
