R^2 in Poisson via pr2() function: skeptical about r^2 results
Hello. I am running 9 poisson regressions with 5 predictors each, using glm with family=gaussian. Gaussian distribution fits better than linear regression on fit indices, and also for theoretical reasons (e.g. the dependent variables are counts, and the distribution is highly positively skewed). I want to determine pseudo R^2 now. However, using the pR2() of the pscl package offers drastically

Rspec Brown Bag
...http://www.pivotalsf.com). I did see Dave Astel''s talk as well as several of my coworkers. The developers at my workplace are experienced Agile developers. What would be some good things to focus on for this brown bag? Are there slides to presentations that would be useful? Any resistance/skepticism, and how to best address these concerns? I''m kindof nervous because there is some skepticism toward rspec and BDD. Mainly: - Test::Unit already does that, so why do we need rspec? - It''s not production ready. (Stack traces are too cluttered for RspecOnRails; although t...

Evaluating Asterisk
I am thinking of moving from a traditional PBX to an asterisk box. Many of my leadership group are skeptical of asterisk. So I was hoping to find a call center that is currently using this technology that would not mind spending some time on a conference call to address some concerns that my team has.

[LLVMdev] LLD: Removing Native file format?
I think I bought up this topic before, but I'd like to propose seriously removing the Native file format from LLD this time. IIUC, the Native file format was designed to be the fastest on-memory or on-disk file format for object files. The problem is that no one is working on that. No LLVM tools can produce object files in the Native, thus the feature of supporting the format is useless in

FW: [R] The Quality & Accuracy of R
Dear R Developers, This is my first time subscribing to this list, so let me start out by saying thank you all very much for the incredible contribution you have made to science through your work on R. As you all know many users of commercial stat packages, their managers, directors, CIOs etc. are skeptical of R's quality/accuracy. And as the recent NY Times article demonstrated, the

Common base system for initramfs ?
I wonder if part of the reasoning behind moving klibc into the Kernel itself and integrating it with kbuild has to do with creating a common base system for the initramfs that is meant to work across all Linux distros? I'm very skeptical that such a thing can be created in a way that would satisfy everyone, and maintained peacefully with no forks. I've been helping Jeff Bailey of

identical function names from 2 packages
Hi, If I load 2 packages that have a function with the same name, how do I tell R to run one or the other? (Instead of having R automatically use the first- or last-loaded one, whichever it is. (Which is it, by the way.)) Cheers! Nick -- ==================================================== Nicholas J. Matzke Ph.D. Candidate, Graduate Student Researcher Huelsenbeck Lab Center for

inconsistent behavior of summary function
The summary function behaves inconsistently with data frame columns, e.g. summary(rock) #max of area 12212, correct summary(rock$area) #max of area 12210, incorrect max I know that summary(rock$area, digits=5) will correct the error (I DID read the manual). But my point is the inconsistency, because I get the correct answer without having to add the digits option in the first

380x380 dataframe to list
Hi, This can't be hard, but I can't find the solution. I have a 380x380 data frame of numbers. I would like to turn it into a single column so I can do e.g. hist and mean on it without writing my own function. There must be a simple function for this, but I'm stumped -- reshape, dim, etc. don't seem to do it... Help appreciated! Thanks!! Nick --
