Hello R Help, I am trying solve an MLE convergence problem: I would like to estimate four parameters, p1, p2, mu1, mu2, which relate to the probabilities, P1, P2, P3, of a multinomial (trinomial) distribution. I am using the mle2() function and feeding it a time series dataset composed of four columns: time point, number of successes in category 1, number of successes in category 2, and

Hi, The code below is giving me this error message: Error in while (err > eps) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed In addition: Warning messages: 1: In dnbinom(x, size, prob, log) : NaNs produced 2: In dnbinom(x, size, prob, log) : NaNs produced I know from the help files that for dnbinom "Invalid size or prob will result in return value NaN, with a warning", but I am not able

Dear All, I may look ridiculous, but I am puzzled at the behavior of the nls with a fitting I am currently dealing with.

Hi, I??m trying to use the Win2BUGS package from R and I have a similar problem that reurns with the message: Error in FUN(X[[1]], ...) : symbol print-name too long But, there is no stray ` character in the file ( Sugestions given by: Duncan Temple Lang <duncan> Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2005 07:31:08 -0700 ) The progam in R is: library(R2WinBUGS) library(rbugs) dat <-

Windows 7, R 2.12.1 Colleagues, I am trying to understand the n.for.2means function. The code below is a copy of the function (renamed to n.for.2means.js). I have inserted a single line of code towards the bottom of the function which uses the cat function to print the value of n1. You will note the value (preceded by stars) is printed as 1. The function (1) prints a lot of output without any

Dear all: Assume I have 3 distributions, x1, x2, and x3. x1 ~ normal(mu1, sd1) x2 ~ normal(mu2, sd2) x3 ~ normal(mu3, sd3) y1 = x1 + x2 y2 = x1 + x3 Now that the data I can observed is only y1 and y2. It is easy to estimate (mu1+m2), (mu1+mu3), (sd1^2+sd2^2) and (sd1^2+sd3^2) by EM algorithm since y1 ~ normal(mu1+mu2, sqrt(sd1^2+sd2^2)) and y2 ~ normal(mu1+mu3, sqrt(sd1^2+sd3^2)) However, I want

Hi, My name is Laura. I'm a PhD student at Queen's University Belfast and have just started learning R. I was wondering if somebody could help me to see where I am going wrong in my code for estimating the parameters [mu1, mu2, lambda1] of a 2-phase Coxian Distribution. cox2.lik<-function(theta, y){ mu1<-theta[1] mu2<-theta[2] lambda1<-theta[3]

I am wanting to plot a 95% confidence band using segplot, yet I am wanting to have groups. For example if I have males and females, and then I have them in different races, I want the racial groups in different panels. I have this minor code, completely made up but gets at what I am wanting, 4 random samples and 4 samples of confidence, I know how to get A & B into one panel and C&D in to

Dear R users, I used to "OPTIM" to minimize the obj. function below. Even though I used the true parameter values as initial values, the results are not very good. How could I improve my results? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Regards, Kathryn Lord #------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ x = c(0.35938587,

hello everybody I use the following code for my programming & it runs with the error as specified below.Any help that would disolve the error will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance my code looks like this #### R programme for simulating the power of the two sample t test vs various #### non-parametric alternatives sim.size <- 200 sample.size <- 10 set.seed(231) mu1 <- 0 delta

Hi all, I appreciate the help this list has given me before. I have a question which has been perplexing me. I have been working on doing a Bayesian calculating inserting studies sequentially after using a non-informative prior to get a meta-analysis type result. I created a function using three iterations of this, my code is below. I insert prior mean and precision (I add precision manually

Hi, I am new to R. My problem is with the ordered logistic model. Here is my question: Generate an order discrete variable using the variable wrwage1 = wages in first full calendar quarter after benefit application in the following way: * wage*1*Ordered *= 1 *if*0 *· wrwage*1 *< *1000 2 *if*1000 *· wrwage*1 *< *2000 3 *if*2000 *· wrwage*1 *< *3000 4 *if*3000 *· wrwage*1 *<

Hi Folks, Given k RVs with MVN distribution N(mu,S) (S a kxk covariance matrix), let (w.l.o.g.) X1 denote the first r of them, and X2 the last (k-r). Likewise, let mu1 and mu2 denote their respective expectations. Then, of course, the expectation of X2 given X1=x1 is mu2 + S21*inv(S22)*(x1 - mu1) and the covariance matrix of X2 given X1=x2 is S22 - S21*inv(X11)*S12 where Sij is the

Hi , I am programming on a windows system and have problems using notepad which is my main editor.Each time I try to open the editor from the R IDE, R crashes. So I always have to copy my codes from notepad and paste in R to run them. CAn someone tell me if I am doing anything wrong or is there a better editor(freeware) which I could get. thanks cilver ===== ===================== Sylvie B.

Hi, I would like to increase the Precision of R by increasing the Number of decimal places in calcultaions. I get about 7 decimal places and would like to have over 15. is the a means to inflence this? Thanks ===== ===================== Sylvie B.

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

Dear list, i'm trying to test if a linear combination of coefficients of glm is equal to 0. For example : class 'cl' has 3 levels (1,2,3) and 'y' is a response variable. We want to test H0: mu1 + mu2 - mu3 =0 where mu1,mu2, and mu3 are the means for each level. for me, the question is how to get the covariance matrix of the estimated parameters from glm. but perhaps there
