Dear all, I'm trying to estimate the parameters of a lognormal distribution fitted from some data. The tricky thing is that my data represent the time at which I recorded certain events. However, in many cases I don't really know when the event happened. I' only know the time at which I recorded it as already happened. Therefore I want to fit the lognormal from the cumulative

Hi, I'm plotting a multiple histogram using the function multhist {package plotrix}, something like: library(plotrix) mh <- list(rnorm(200, mean=200, sd=50), rnorm(200, mean=250, sd=50)) multhist(mh) In this graph y-axis represents the frequency of observations.... but I would like it to be scaled into relative frequencies, does anybody know how to do this with multhist or similar

Dear useRs, In a data.frame (df) I have several columns (x1, x2, x3....xn) containing data as a continuous numerical response: df var x1 x2 x3 1 143 147 137 2 93 93 117 3 164 39 101 4 123 118 97 5 63 125 97 6 129 83 124 7 123 93 136 8 123 80 79 9 89 107 150 10 78 95 121 I want to

Sorry I have a very simple question: I used somers2 function from Design package: > z<- somers2(x,y, weights=w) results are: >z C Dxy n Missing 0.88 0.76 500 0.00 Now I want to call only the value of C to be used in further analyses, but I fail to do it. I have tried: > z$C NULL > z[,C] Error in z[,C]: incorrect number of dimensions and some other silly

Dear all, I have the following dataset with results from an experiment with individual bats that performed two tasks related to prey capture under different conditions: X variables: indiv - 5 individual bats used in the experiment; all of which performed both tasks task - 2 tasks that each individual bat had to perform dist - 5 repeated measures of individual bats at 5 different distances from

Dear r-helpers, why do I get an output in the first iteration of the for-loop which contains the string values of the input vector, and how can I avoid that? Here's the output (only line 1 is wrong) latentVariable Indiv Group 1 rPlanning rIterat rTDD 2 rPlanning 0.79 0.84 3 rIterat 0.79 0.83 4 rTDD 0.9 0.96 5 rStandup 0.83 0.82 6

Hello world, I'm trying to do an anova on data in data.set, dependent variable is a column named "dep.var", grouping variable is in a column called "indep.var", and is.factor(indep.var) is TRUE... why can't I just do aov(dep.var ~ indep.var, data = data.set)? What have I done to deserve this?! What gives? Am I missing something totlly obvious? R-base-1.0.0-1,

Dear R Admins, I received an unsolicited e-mail from BlueInference as an R user. Does it mean that R that our e-mails (and names) is sharing it's user database with third parties without our consent? Or perhaps the BlueInference guys are using an e-mail address miner to get our contact details? [SNIP] Dear Gorden Jemwa, As a fellow R user, I am sure you agree with me that R is a

Dear mailing group, This is my first time here. Glad to have this resource! I am currently trying to load an Excel file into R (limma package loaded) using the source(*name of directory*) command, but it cannot open the file. I renamed the file as .R and .RData, to no avail. The Excel data contains one gene name per row and about 100 data points per gene (columns). I am only used to

Hello! I have something like this: test1 <- data.frame(intx=c(4,3,1,1,2,2,3), status=c(1,1,1,0,1,1,0), x1=c(0,2,1,1,1,0,0), x2=c(1,1,0,0,2,2,0), sex=c(0,0,0,0,1,1,1)) and I can easily fit a cox model: library(survival) coxph(Surv(intx,status) ~ x1 + x2 + strata(sex),test1) However, I want to

I am trying to run a GLMM on some binomial data. My fixed factors include 2 dichotomous variables, day, and distance. When I run the model: modelA<-glmmPQL(Leaving~Trial*Day*Dist,random=~1|Indiv,family="binomial") I get the error: iteration 1 Error in MEEM(object, conLin, control$niterEM) : Singularity in backsolve at level 0, block 1 >From looking at previous help

Dear R users: I'm new to R and am trying to fit a mixed model Cox regression model with coxme function. I have one two-level factor (treat) and one covariate (covar) and 32 different groups (centers). I'd like to fit a random coefficients model, with treat and covar as fixed factors and a random intercept, random treat effect and random covar slope per center. I haver a couple of

Hi, Using package gclus in R, I have created some graphs that show the trends within subgroups of data and correlations among 9 variables (v1-v9). Being interested for more details on these data I have produced also the var-covar matrices. Question: From a pair of two subsets of data (with 9 variables each, I have two var-covar matrices for each subgroup, that differ for a treatment on one

I am new to R. I just tried to recreate in R (using sem package and the identical input data) a solution for a simple measurment model I have found before in LISREL. LISREL had no problems and converged in just 3 iterations. In sem, I got no solution, just the warning message: "Could not compute QR decomposition of Hessian. Optimization probably did not converge. in: sem.default(ram =

Dear All, This is not strictly R related (though I would implement the solution in R; besides, being this list so helpful for these kinds of stats questions...). I got a "strange" request from a colleage. He has a bunch (approx. 25000) subjects that belong to one of 12 possible classes. In addition, there are 8 covariates (factors) that can take as values either "absence"

Hello, I finally run my measurement model in sem - successfully. Now, I am trying to print out the path diagram that is based on the results - but for some reason it's not working. Below is my script - but the problem is probably in my very last line: # ANALYSIS OF ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, AND FEAR - LISREL P.31 library(sem) # Creating the ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, AND FEAR intercorrelation matrix

Dear expeRts, I have a data.frame with certain covariate combinations ('group' and 'year') and corresponding values: set.seed(1) x <- data.frame(group = c(rep("A", 4), rep("B", 3)), year = c(2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2003, 2004, 2005), value = rexp(7)) My goal is essentially to

Dear helpers, I wrote a code which estimates a multi-equation model with generalized least squares (GLS). I can use GLS because I know the covariance matrix of the residuals a priori. However, it is a bit slow and I wonder if anybody would be able to point out a way to make it faster (it is part of a bigger code and needs to run several times). Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Carlo

Dear useRs, I am fitting a mixed model using the function lmer from the package lme4, but I have some problems when I try to test the effect of my factors of interest. First let me explain the structure of the model: I'm measuring animal movements. Explicitly, I am interested in displacement (straight-line distance from an initial point). Displacements are measured longitudinally, with one
