Dear all I am tryiing to fit the following lme with an ARMA correlation structure: test <- lme(fixed=fev1f~year, random=~1|id2, data=pheno2, correlation=corARMA(value=0.2, form=~year|id2), na.action=na.omit) But I get the following error message: Error in getGroupsFormula.default(correlation, asList = TRUE) : "Form" argument must be a formula I have used this same form

I'm attempting to modify how biplot draws its red vectors (among other things). This is how I've started: Biplot <- function(xx, comps = c(1, 2), cex = c(.6, .4)) { ## Purpose: Makes a biplot with princomp() object to not show arrows ## ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Arguments: xx is an object made using princomp() ##

Sincerely, Jerome Asselin data(USArrests) princomp(USArrests, cor = TRUE) #THIS WORKS USArrests[1,3] <- NA princomp(USArrests, cor =

Dear R users, When I tried to use princomp() from stats packages to do Principal Components Analysis, I am not very clear what is the "scale". And the scores are different from "PROC PRINCOMP" procedure from SAS. Using the example data from this package: restpc <- princomp(USArrests, cor = TRUE) > restpc$scale Murder Assault UrbanPop Rape 4.311735 82.500075

According to R help: princomp() uses eigenvalues of covariance data. prcomp() uses the SVD method. yet when I run the (eg., USArrests) data example and compare with my own "hand-written" versions of PCA I get what looks like the opposite. Example: comparing the variances I see: Using prcomp(USArrests) ------------------------------------- Standard deviations: [1] 83.732400 14.212402

hi I am trying to write a function around a glm or similar function, in which I can pass the subsetting constraint as an argument to the function, but I am having trouble. the following commands (if I wanted SEX==0 to be my subset) in the global environment work fine: subexpr <- expression(SEX==0) subtest <- with(mydata, eval(subexpr)) test.glm <- glm(y~x1+x2, data=mydata,

In comparing the results of princomp and prcomp I find: 1. The reported standard deviations are similar but about 1% from each other, which seems well above round-off error. 2. princomp returns what I understand are variances and cumulative variances accounted for by each principal component which are all equal. "SS loadings" is always 1. 3. Same happens

Dear listserv, I am trying to perform a principal components analysis and create an output table of the eigenvalues for the dependent variables. What I want is to see which variables are driving each principal components axis, so I can make statements like, "PC1 mostly refers to seed size" or something like that. For instance, if I try the example from ?prcomp > prcomp(USArrests,

When I run example(princomp) I get the following error message: prncmp> ## The variances of the variables in the prncmp> ## USArrests data vary by orders of magnitude, so scaling is appropriate prncmp> (pc.cr <- princomp(USArrests)) # inappropriate Error in cov.wt(z) : 'x' must contain finite values only Seth Roberts -- blog.sethroberts.net www.shangriladiet.com

Hi I'm trying to wrap predict.lm within a function, but I'm having problems passing arguments into it in this way. Basically I want to create a lm object, then pass it into the predict.lm function and be able to tell predict.lm which variable I want to predict for, by passing the variable name as an argument of the wrapper function. This variable will always be a factor with 3 levels,

Dear all, I have a question about the 'sdev' value returned by the princomp function (which does principal components analysis). On the help page for princomp it says 'sdev' is 'the standard deviations of the principal components'. However, when I calculate the principal components for the USArrests data set, I don't find this to be the case: Here is how I

Hello, I'm a beginning user of R, now I have a question about canonical correlation analysis (cca). In R,there is a function "cancor.R" used for cca; For example X(n*p1) and Y(n*p2)are the two matrix to be analyzed. In the example given by R, when n> max(p1,n2), cancor(X,Y) works; but when n<p1 or n<p2, cancor(X,Y) doesn't work well because cancor$cor == 1; how to cope

I'm trying to write a formula method for canonical correlation analysis, that could be called similarly to lm() for a multivariate response: cancor(cbind(y1,y2,y3) ~ x1+x2+x3+x4, data=, ...) or perhaps more naturally, cancor(cbind(y1,y2,y3) ~ cbind(x1,x2,x3,x4), data=, ...) I've adapted the code from lm() to my case, but in this situation, it doesn't make sense to include an

Which is the parameter that is used to decrease the size of ylabs plotted in biplot? I tried playing with cex and cex.lab I am not getting it right pc <- princomp(USArrests) biplot(pc, xlabs = rep("", nrow(USArrests)),ylabs=(colnames(USArrests))) Thanks../Murli [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear list, I want to perform a biplot, using customized titels for the x and y axis. Setting xlab="" and ylab="" resulted in an error, e.g.: > data(USArrests) > biplot(princomp(USArrests),xlab="",ylab="") Error in biplot.default(t(t(scores[, choices])/lam), t(t(x$loadings[, : length of dimnames[1] not equal to array extent > How do I

Dear R's! I am strugling with cancor procedure in R. I cannot figure out the meaning of xcoef and of yxcoef. Are these: 1. standardized coefficients 2. structural coefficients 3. something else? I have tried to simulate canonical correlation analysis by checking the eigenstructure of the expression: Sigma_xx %*% Sigma_xy %*% Sigma_yy %*% t(Sigma_xy). The resulting eigenvalues were the same

All When I read data into an R variable x using RODBC command: x <- sqlQuery(channel,"select a, b from tabl",as="data frame") and view x, I get 3 columns the first one being the index of the rows in x. What options do I use in sqlQuery so as not have the index in x ? How do I get rid of the index otherwise. For some functions like princomp (and boxplot) for
