similar to: ci.pd() (Epi) and Newcombe method

Hello, Does anyone know which method from Newcombe (1998)* is implemented in prop.test for comparing two proportions? I would guess it is the method based on the Wilson score (for single proportion), with and without continuity correction for prop.test(..., correct=FALSE) and prop.test(..., correct=TRUE). These methods would correspond to no. 10 and 11 tested in Newcombe, respectively. Can

Dear Josh, Thanks for your help! Does your answer mean, that you agree the two methods should do the same, and what I was guessing, despite the small differences? What I prefer about ci.pd is, that the help clearly says which method is implemented, which is not the case for prop.test. But I do not know who has programmed the function.

Hi I''ve done a small rails application for file management on Amazon''s new service, the storage webservice ''Amazon S3'' (at this time just upload, list and delete methods are implemented). Maybe someone find it useful as example. The source code and a little more information can be found here: http://caffo.backpackit.com/pub/502395 Best regards Rodrigo Franco

Dear R-help, I'm using prop.test() to compute a confidence interval for a proportion under R version 2.4.1, as in: prop.test(x = 340, n = 400)$conf [1] 0.8103309 0.8827749 I have two questions: 1) from the source code my understanding is that the confidence interval is computed according to Wilson, E.B. (1927) Probable inference, the law of succession, and statistical inference. J. Am.

R Users, The d/p/q/r functions for the bridge distribution are now available in bridgedist. When a random intercept follows the bridge distribution, as detailed in Wang and Louis (2003) <doi:10.1093/biomet/90.4.765 <http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/biomet/90.4.765>>, a marginalized random-intercept logistic regression will still be a logistic regression with marginal coefficients that are

Hi all, Presuming that my reply on r-help this morning was correct, attached is a patch file against the current svn trunk version of prop.test.Rd to add the references for the methods. Any corrections are welcome. Regards, Marc Schwartz

Hi all, just installed the nut package from apt on Ubuntu. Here's what I got. Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.3 Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.34 (2.4.3) USB communication driver 0.31 This APC device (051d:0003) is not (or perhaps not yet) supported by usbhid-ups. Please make sure you have an up-to-date version of NUT. If this does not fix the problem, try running the

Preparing a paper for a medical journal. Using the prop.test() function in R (v2.4.0) to compare two groups' response to data like the following. A sample of 100 individuals from Population I, 18 with positive readings from a certain test, vs. A sample of 148 individuals from Population II, 61 with positive readings. Results look like this: R version 2.4.0 Patched (2006-11-25

Hi All, Please, anyone remember the name (or the URL) of a small project posted here who provide a simple navigator for editing rails files on console? It''s was done in ruby by an user of our list. I''ve used it a year ago (maybe more) and can''t find any clue even on the searchable archive... Thanks! -- caffo (rodrigo franco)

Hello, I was wondering who to contact to see about somehow interconnecting or integrating the programs R and Epi Info. I have been involved in the development of Epi Info which is a software program developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta (www.cdc.gov/epiinfo<http://www.cdc.gov/epiinfo>). Epi Info allows for creating data entry systems and performs

This is a really simple question, I'm sure,but I can't make EpiR work! I keep getting the following: > epi.2by2(47, 263483, 282, 935028, method="cohort.time", conf.level=0.95) Error in epi.2by2(47, 263483, 282, 935028, method = "cohort.time", conf.level = 0.95) : unused argument(s) (935028) and I really don't know why!. Any ideas very very welcome thank

The name conflicts in Epi and ROC packages (2 'ROC' functions are the problem) cause the following code to work once, but not twice: library(MASS); data(cats); x = cats[,2] y = ifelse(cats[,1]=='F',0,1) library(Epi); ROC(x,y,grid=0)$AUC library(ROC); AUC(rocdemo.sca(y, x, dxrule.sca)) What is the standard way of resolving name conflicts? Ask maintainers to resolve

Hello: Does anybody knows if Epi Info, from CDC (www.cdc.gov/epiinfo) runs on Wine? I did try AppDB first but there are no entries for Epi Info. Epi Info is a data base for epidemiology and public-heath developed by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (USA) and heavilly used in the world. It is based on Access 97 or 2000 witch I found in Frank's Corner AppDB. Thank you, Gerson

There is now an Epi-package on CRAN. It is intended for epidemiological analysis in R. It has its own homepage, http://www.pubhealth.ku.dk/~bxc/Epi The package has been used at the course "Statistical practise in Epidemiology with R", see http://www.pubhealth.ku.dk/~bxc/SPE. A mailing list for people using R for epidemiology, R-sig-Epi, has been set up, see

Dear all, I would like to calculate the optimal cut off (threshold) of a test using the Epi package. Here I am presenting some data based on the output of two tests. I am interested in identifying the optimal cut off and its 95% CI. Running the ROC() function with the Epi package I obtain a nice picture that returns what I interpret as the optimal cut off with lr.eta=0.491. would be this the

The stat.table function in the Epi package won't do standard deviations. It didn't seem that it would be difficult to add an "sd" function to the stat.table function. Following the example for the mean, I set up a similar function for the sd (and included it as an options) but it just won't work. (I tried sending messages to the Epi mailing list after subscribing but my mail

Hi all, I have a question and I do not know If I am at the right place to ask this question. But is there someone that has the formula of CKD-Epi in code in R? I have tried a lot of loops, but none of the approaches give me the right answer. Is there someone who has this formula coded? Thank you! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

A new major upgrade of the Epi package for Epidemiological data analysis has been put on CRAN, it is now at version 1.0.7. It contains an entirely new way of representing follow-up data on multiple timescales and multiple states. See the function Lexis(). Plus a lot of other useful stuff for epidemiological analysis. See more on the package homepage, www.biostat.ku.dk/~bxc/Epi Note also that
