Hi, I have a problem concerning discrepances between R (which I use) and Statistica (which uses my supervisor). I can't say what is the origin of these differences but unfortunately my supervisor doesn't know that either. Our response variable is number (or presence/absence) of parasites in rodents and explanatory variables are presence/absence of several alleles. The rodents were

Dear All, I am in the somewhat unfortunate position of having to reproduce the results previously obtained from (non-metric?) MDS on a "kinship" matrix using Statistica. A kinship matrix measures affinity between groups, and has its maximum values on the diagonal. Apparently, starting with a nxn kinship matrix, all it was needed to do was to feed it to Statistica flagging that the

I am a new R user attempting to convert files from Statistica to R. I can export from Statistica to SPSS .por format, but not to the SPSS .sav format. Is there a procedure for easily accomplishing this, which will allow me to keep variable short and long labels (big surveys LOTS of time to replace all this work). Many thanks for sharing your time and knowledge. steve Dr Steven M Burgess

Greetings, I've just put out the latest version of "The Popularity of Data Analysis Software" at http://r4stats.com/popularity. This update includes complete data for 2010, the addition of number of blogs for each software, more coverage of Statistica, and, where possible, measures regarding the implementations of the SAS Language: Carolina and the World Programming System (WPS).

Hi everybody, I would like to compute the mean for 1 variable between the rows with the same levels. For example, with the dataset below: Factor1 Factor2 Value A X 1 A X 2 A Y 3 A Y 4 B X 5 B X 6 B Y

Hello, I am a new R user and trying to learn how to implement the mahalanobis function to measure the distance between to 2 population centroids. I have used STATISTICA to calculate these differences, but was hoping to learn to do the analysis in R. I have implemented the code as below, but my results are very different from that of STATISTICA, and I believe I may not have interpreted the help

Probably, it's an obvious info, but I have not found anything in R FAQ concerning this feature/bug. The results of ks.test and wilcoxon.test (in the Mann-Whitney version, paired = 'FALSE') don't coincide with the results from the other statistical packages, e.g. Statistica, Medcalc, and (as for MW test) from the numerous online MW tests. E.g. Statistica p-value=0.0435353 Medcalc

Hi, Sorry to bother you again. I would like to estimate the effect of several categorical factors (two between subjects and one within subjects) on two continuous dependent variables that probably covary, with subjects as a random effect. *I want to control for the covariance between those two DVs when estimating the effects of the categorical predictors** on those two DVs*. The thing is, i

Dear R-users, I used to give commands such as: > source(file="~/path/to/file.R", chdir=TRUE) but with the latest v. 2.1.0 it does not seem to work anymore. I tried to figure out what it was going on and it seems that the string for which > class(file) [1] "character" is changed to > class(file) [1] "file" "connection" when the connection is

Dear R gurus I am analysing data from a study of behaviour and shade utilization of chimpanzees. I am using GLMs in R (version 2.13.0) to test whether shade/sun utilization is predicted by behaviour observed. I am thus interested in whether an interaction of behaviour (as a predictor) and presence in the sun/shade (also predictor) predicts the counts I have for the respective categories. I have

Hi STATISTICA has a function called "Two-way joining" (see http://www.statsoft.com/TEXTBOOK/stcluan.html#twotwo) and the reference material states that this is based on the method as published by Hartigan (found this paper: http://www.jstor.org/pss/2284710 through wikipedia). What is the relationship (if any) between the "heatmap" function in R and this technique? Is there an

Hello, I have done a scatterplot and now would like to add its regression line but it does not show. Below, the code I have used. lm3 <- lm(data$S_pH_KCl2.5_BCx~data$B_OleicoPF_BCx_per) plot(data$S_pH_KCl2.5_BCx, data$B_OleicoPF_BCx_per) abline(lm3) I have been able to do the complete operation using the software STATISTICA but it would be great to do it with R. If you require more details

Hello world, I am actually trying to transfer a lecture from Statistica to R and I ran into problems with spectral analysis, I think I just don't get it 8-( (The posting from "FFT, frequs, magnitudes, phases" from 2005 did not enlighten me) As a starter for the students I have a 10year data set of air temperature with daily values and I try to get a periodogram where the annual

Hi everybody, I am starting my friendship with R. Now I want to do a Correspondence Analysis using the vegan library or multiv library. Both give me the same results which differ from the ones I get running other programs like Statistica... I wounder if there is a problem with my matrix. I have cualitataive variable in the columns and sampling units in the rows... I import my matrix into R

Hi there, I had written a library under R 1.9.0 and now I would like to import that library under R 2.0.1 Apparently it does not work; I can install the package, but when I try to read it the error is the following: Error in library(compvar) : 'compvar' is not a valid package -- installed < 2.0.0 I have checked other libraries in R 2.0.1 and I noticed that there is a new folders

Dear R users I recently migrated from Statistica/SigmaPlot (Windows) to R (Linux), so please excuse if this may sound 'basic'. When running a nonlinear regression (V = Vmax * conc / (Ks + conc), i.e. Michaelis-Menten) on SigmaPlot, I get the output listed below: >>>Begin SigmaPlot Output<<< R = 0.94860969 Rsqr = 0.89986035 Adj Rsqr = 0.89458984 Standard Error of

I am new to using R and would appreciate some advice on which books to start with to get up to speed on using R. My Background: 1-C# programmer. 2-Programmed directly using IMSL (Now Visual Numerics). 3- Used in past SPSS and Statistica. I put together a list but would like to pick the "best of" and avoid redundancy. Any suggestions on these books would be helpful (i.e. too much

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all - As I progress in R I am trying to automate functions I would have normally farmed out to Excel, SPSS or Statistica. Single factor anova is one of them. For example, a dataset from NIST StRD (http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/strd/anova/AtmWtAg.html) has two groups: 1 2 107.8681568 107.8681079 107.8681465 107.8681344

Hello world, I am actually transferring a course in data management for students in biology, geography and agriculture from statistica to R - it works surprisingly well.
