similar to: Non-negativity constraint for logistic regression

Dear R users, I am currently attempting to fit logistic regression models in R, where the slopes should be restricted to positive values. Although I am aware of the package nnls (which does the trick for linear regression models), I did not find any solution for logistic regression. If there is any package available for this purpose, I would be interested to know them. Alternatively, I realize

Hi, recently I saw but did not pay too much attention to a question that concerned regression with positive coefficients. In Splus, thereis the nnls() function that can be used if I am not wrong, but what about R ? Now I have the same problem: doing a logistic regression under constraint that coefs are non negative. What can I do with R? is there a (weighted) nnls() counterpart available? Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm a bit new here (and new to R), and I was trying to do an OLR, and testing the parallel slope assumption seems be very important. I browsed through past postings, and didn't find much to help me in this area. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could go about doing this. Thank you. -- View this message in context:

Dear R Users/Experts, I am using a function called logitreg() originally described in MASS (the book 4th Ed.) by Venebles & Ripley, p445. I used the code as provided but made couple of changes to run a 'constrained' logistic regression, I set the method = "L-BFGS-B", set lower/upper values for the variables. Here is the function, logitregVR <- function(x, y, wt =

Hi, I was hoping to get some advice on how to derive estimates of slopes from four parameter logistic models fit with SSfpl. I fit the model using: model<-nls(temp~SSfpl(time,a,b,c,d)) summary(model) I am interested in the values of the lower and upper asymptotes (parameters a and b), but also in the gradient of the line at the inflection point (c) which I assume tells me my rate of

Thank you Brian Ripley, Gardar Johannesson, and Marcel Wolbers for your prompt and friendly help! I will share any further learnings as I move through these suggestions. -Bob Abugov Brian Ripley wrote: I just use optim() on the sum of squares with non-negativity constraints.

Hi, I was wondering if someone could please help me. I am doing a logistic regression to compare size at maturity between 3 seasons. My model is: fit <- glm(Mature ~ Season * Size - 1, family = binomial, data=dat) where Mature is a binary response, 0 for immature, 1 for mature. There are 3 Seasons. The Season * Size interaction is significant. I would like to compare the size at 50%

Hi, I am trying to cross-validate a logistic regression model. I am using logistic regression model (lrm) of package Design. f <- lrm( cy ~ x1 + x2, x=TRUE, y=TRUE) val <- validate.lrm(f, method="cross", B=5) My class cy has values 0 and 1. "val" variable will give me indicators like slope and AUC. But, I also need the vector of predicted values of class variable

I am interested in knowing whether and how I can test the significance of the relationship between my continuous predictor variable (a covariate) and my binary response variable according to two different groups, my categorical predictor variable, in a logistic regression model (glm). Specifically, can I determine whether the relationships are identical (the hypothesis of coincidence), or whether

Hi all, I am trying to do an inversion of electromagnetic data with non-negative least squares method (Tikhonov regularisation) and have got it programmed in S-Plus. However I am trying to move all my scripts from S-Plus to R. Is there an equivalent to nnls.fit in R? I think this can be done with pcls? Right? S-Plus script: A, L and data are matrices, lambda is a vector of possible lambda

lrm does some binning to make the calculations faster. The exact calculation is obtained by running f <- lrm(...) rcorr.cens(predict(f), DA), which results in: C Index Dxy S.D. n missing 0.96814404 0.93628809 0.03808336 32.00000000 0.00000000 uncensored Relevant Pairs Concordant Uncertain 32.00000000

I would like to know more about the output from the terms option in predict(), especially for a glm. And especially when there is an interaction effect being considered. Here's why I ask. These articles were recently brought to my attention. They claim that just about everybody who has reported an interaction coefficient in a logit or probit glm has interpreted it incorrectly. Ai, C. and

I am new to R and I am trying to do a monte carlo simulation where I generate data and interject error then test various cut points; however, my output was garbage (at x equal zero, I did not get .50) I am basically testing the performance of classifiers. Here is the code: n <- 1000; # Sample size fitglm <- function(sigma,tau){ x <- rnorm(n,0,sigma) intercept <- 0 beta

I have a question about running an optimization function on an existing LOESS function defined in R. I have a very large dataset (1 million observations) and have run a LOESS regression. Now, I want to run a Newton-Raphson optimization to determine the point at which the slope change is the greatest. I am relatively new to R and have tried several permutations of the maxNR and nlm functions with

Hello R experts, I have two questions related to the nnls library (http://www.inside-r.org/packages/cran/nnls), and more broadly to linear regression with positive coefficients. Sample code is below the Qs. Q1: Regular regression (with lm) gives me the significance of each variable. How do I get variable significance with nnls? If there's no ready function, any easy way to manually derive

Hi all, This is as much as statistical/estimation question as an R-specific one, but here goes. I am trying to use logistic regression to predict suitability of habitats for certain plant species. The response variable is a binary one that indicates whether a particular species is found at a site on the landscape. The independent variables represent physical characteristics of the landscape

Hey, all. I'm working on a data set with a broken stick linear regression where I know one of the two slopes. It is a negative linear function until the line intersects with the x-axis, at which point it becomes 0. It is not a nonlinear asymptotic function, and, indeed, using negative exponential or logistic types of fits as an approximation has tended to lead to an under or

Dear R-users, I'd appreciate your statistical opinion on the following problem. I'm fitting the four parameter logistic model [f(x) = a + (b - a)/(1 + exp((c - x)*d))] to assay data. We have a lot of samples to fit and my aim is to classify these samples into following groups: 1. no interrelation all results about =~ 0 too low concentration 2. only full

Dear guRus, I am doing a logistic regression using restricted cubic splines via rcs(). However, the fitted probabilities should be nondecreasing with increasing predictor. Example: predictor <- seq(1,20) y <- c(rep(0,9),rep(1,10),0) model <- glm(y~rcs(predictor,n.knots=3),family="binomial") print(1/(1+exp(-predict(model)))) The last expression should be a nondecreasing
