[R] P values in non linear regression and singular gradients using nls
Dear all,
We are trying to fit a non linear model to dispersal data.
It seems that sometimes when the fit of the model of the data is not
very good we start getting singular gradient errors. However if we
modify slightly the data this won't occurr. We have also tried changing
the initial parameter values and the algorithm for fitting in nls but
didn't help.
So we ended up programming a software to do the fitting for us using a
searching algorithm in the "map" of the parameters and minimising the
sum of squares (we get the same fits as R in the models that could fit
the data well). We still don't know why R could not fit those models.
We now wonder how can we calculate the standard errors and p-values of
the non linear regression parameters. We have been trying to find
information about it and all I find has to do with linear regression.
Could you tell me please how are they calculated in nls in R?
And also what are we doing wrong with nls that was not able to fit the
model?
Many thanks in advance,
Roman Carrasco.

I think this depends on what is in your history. At least typing 's'
should do something if you had an 'ls()' previously.

Now that is actually true for me too. I must have hit "up" after the

is this gam::gam or mgcv::gam? If the latter, and if I understand what
you want, if gam.out contains your GAM model fitted using gam() from
mgcv, then:
out.term <- predict(gam.out, type = "terms")
gives you the contributions of each covariate on the response for the
fitted model. read :?predict.gam for details of what type = "terms"
actually returns.
Note that you should be wary of accessing the components of model fits
directly. Instead, get the various bits using accessor functions,
coefs() for $coefficients, fitted() for the fitted values etc. Often the
components don't hold exactly what you think but which are processed
correctly when accessed by the appropriate accessor function.

If you are using zoo for this you can do:
library(zoo)
set.seed(1)
x <- zoo(rnorm(7), as.numeric(1:7))
y <- zoo(rnorm(4), c(1, 2, 6, 7))
xy <- merge(x,y)
xy$y - xy$x
# or if you just want the difference at times existing in both
y - x

Thanks to Mr Dalgaard for his advice and everyone else who has
contributed. Inclusion of an error term at the end of sim.set$y = ...
line did cure my problems with drop1() and step().
I suppose it is my own inexperience in carrying out simulations caused
such gaffe.

Hi Arthur,
This can be done quite easily using the appropriate arguments listed
under
?par; and there are other approaches. Ready-made functions exist in
several
packages. I tend to use ?add.scatter from package ade4. It's a short
function, so it's easy to customize it, but it works well straight out
of
the box.

Hi List,
I have run R from Windows Terminal server and it works fine. I now need
to
install it on apache Web server / Amazon EC 2 server to test R (with a
GUI)
for computing on a cloud (using a framework I wrote about).Intent is to
benchmark R 's superior algorithms on very big files > 1-2 gb (against
mainstream s software)
Also is there any data compression /encryption technique or package in
R.
Intent is reduce bandwidth transfer time and costs.

hi,
my apologies if this has been covered numerous times before and it's
only my lack of search and/or R skills that is stopping me from
finding the solution.
i'm trying to access an object defined and created inside a function
(the object is not returned by the function), but i can't seem to get
it to work, i keep getting an "object not found" error message. i
thought the solution where to be found in changing the
frame/environment. but i can't seem to understand how do do it
correctly. what i want to do is something like:
my.function() <- {
function.from.package(x,y)
plot (object.inside.package.function)
}
i'm using R 2.7.1 on linux
sincerely,
jonas

That pseudo-code doesn't really make sense: you didn't save the result
of function.from.package() anywhere. If you change it to
my.function() <- {
z <- function.from.package(x,y)
plot (z)
}
then it's perfectly standard. So the question is: where are you
expecting R to look to find object.inside.package.function?

Running R version 2.6.1 under Gentoo Linux, I'm trying to produce a
thematic map of the USA using the gmaps package. The result thus far
has two problems from my point of view.
First, the projection (Miller cylindrical?) elongates southern states
and flattens northern ones unattractively. I'd prefer Albers conic
projection or something similar.
Second, the inset for Alaska is placed south of the contiguous states.
I'd prefer to put it north of them.
I would be very grateful to anyone who could suggest (a) how to change
the projection and/or (b) relocate the inset.
The most relevant section of my R code is pasted below. If needed, I can
supply the entire program and data.

I suspect the OP doesn't care where R looks as
long as it finds it. The fact that everything about
'function.from.package' except 'z' has been sucked
down a black hole by the time 'plot' is on the scene
is going to make that search impossible.
One solution is to create 'my.function.from.package'
and change the return value to include
'object.inside.package.function'.

Duncan, Patrick,
Sorry for not being very clear (and having non-working code in my
example). What I'm actually trying to achieve is creating a wrapper
around the NelsonSiegel function in the fBonds package in order to
(among other things) create my own plot function. However, all of the
objects i would like to access inside of my.function are not returned
by the NelsonSiegel function. The are only local inside the
NelsonSiegel function. Is there a way to inside my wrapper function
access these objects?
my.function() <- {
z <- NelsonSiegel(Yield, Maturity, doplot=FALSE)
#here i would like to access objects not returned by NelsonSiegel
}
//Jonas

R 2.8.0 will warn if asked to compute F tests that are essentially 0/0
(where 'essentially' is relative to the total sum of squares). It does
so
in your examples, so in future it will be easier to notice this.

I believe
?symbols
is what you are looking for. Of course, you need to convert categories
to
numeric values for plotting:
For example, adding some actual data to your data frame:
> D <- cbind(D, P = runif(15))
> symbols(as.numeric(D$time), as.numeric(D$y), circles=D$P, inches=0.2,
ann=F, xaxt="n", yaxt="n")
Use axis() to get proper axis labels:> axis(1, 1:3, levels(D$time))
> axis(2, 1:4, levels(D$y))

Subject: [R] Bubble plots
Is there a way to create a 'bubble plot' in R?
For example, if we define the following data frame containing the level
of y
observed for 5 patients at three time points:
time<-c(rep('time 1',5),rep('time 2',5),rep('time
3',5))
y<-c('a','b','c','d','a','b','c','a','d','a','a','a','b','c','d')
D<-data.frame(cbind(y,time))
I would like to display the percentage of subjects in each level of y at
each time point as a bubble whose size is proportional to the percentage
of
subjects in the given level of y at the given time point. Thus, in the
case
of the data frame above the plot would have the levels of y
('a','b','c','d') on the y-axis and the levels
of time ('time 1','time
2',
time 3') on the x-axis with four bubbles above each time point (e.g. the
size of the bubble in the bottom left corner of the plot would be
proportional to the percentage of patients with y='a' at time='time
1').
I am running R 2.7.1 under windows.
Regards,
-Cody

The Pemtium D 940 supports EMT64 according to
http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1988 (I googled it).
That is the key: EMT64 is Intel's name for x86_64 and so your box should
run x86_64 Linux which I believe Debian/Ubuntu refer to as 'amd64'
(which
understandably Intel does not favour and GNU configure does not use on
Linux).
R compiles readily on x86_64 Linux (it is our main development platform)
so in so far as there is 'the 64 bit linux version of R' (not really),
it
will run. More precisely you should be able to compile R from the
sources
and also install an amd64 Ubuntu package for R.

I'd rather just grab current prebuild binaries from any CRAN mirror, eg
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/
as Vincent and Michael do a really excellent job rebuilding my Debian
packages for Ubuntu x86 and amd64, typically within a day. There are a
few other goodies there too, see the README in the aforementioned
directory.

No, as Patrick said, once the function returns all the locals (other
than z) disappear. You need to get the source to the function and
modify it.

Subject: [R] missing F statistic in anova.gam
To: r-help at r-project.org
Message-ID: <418588.4927.qm at web50305.mail.re2.yahoo.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Hello,
I have encountered results which I am not sure how to interpret when
using anova.gam to compare 2 different models. For certain tests the
results do not include an F- or associated p-statistic. This happens
when comparing certain models and not others, and I do not discern a
patten explaining when the test works and when it does not.
Here is some output for some of my tests (y#, x1, and x2 are each
1-variable vectors, while X is a matrix of several variables).
These results compare a model additively separable in x1 and x2 with a
model in which they are not assumed additively separable:
Model 1: y1 ~ s(x1) + s(x2) + X
Model 2: y1 ~ X + s(x1, x2)
Resid. Df Resid. Dev Df Deviance F Pr(>F)
1 3815.5111 29860.6
2 3810.3577 29898.8 5.1534 -38.2
No F statistic is computed, though the statistic is computed when other
dependent variables are used.
Here are some results for a similar analysis with a different dependent
variable:
Model 1: y2 ~ x1 + x2 + X
Model 2: y2 ~ s(x1) + s(x2) + X
Resid. Df Resid. Dev Df Deviance F Pr(>F)
1 3822.000 33970

An F statistic is reported for comparing the linear model with the
additively separable semiparametric model, and for comparing the
additively separable model with the non-additvely separable model, but
not when comparing the partially quadratic model (x#sq means x#^2) with
the additively separable semiparametric model.
I'm happy to provide more information about my dataset or my estimation,
but I don't know what might be helpful, as I really don't understand at
all the cause of this problem. My dataset is not small (about 3800
observations). I will say that x2 has many observations of value 0.
I appreciate any light anyone can shed on this issue. Thank you very
much.

Subject: [R] Convert date to decimal days
To: r-help at r-project.org
Message-ID: <18800462.post at talk.nabble.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Hello all,
I have a quick question about formatting date strings..
I am currently debugging some Matlab code someone else wrote and since
it is
so bad that I have to go through it line by line I figured that I would
just
rewrite the thing in R.
The code produces plots of wave spectra with decimal days since the
Epoch as
the x axis and wave period as the Y axis. I am able to convert the date
stamp in the input file to a POSIXct object with the following call:
date = as.POSIXct(header[[1]][2],tz='GMT',format='%Y%m%d_%k')
date
"2008-07-11 03:00:00 GMT"
So every thing looks groovy, using as.double(date) gives me the number
of
seconds since the epoch which reproduces the correct date when fed to
date
-u -r on the command line.
However, I can't seem to find a clean way of converting the date to
decimal
days since the epoch. Using
as.double(date)/86400
Gives:
14071.12
Which is a catastrophic loss of significance, the number should be
14071.125
I tried playing around with the format command to see if I could get R
to
format the date differently, but no luck.
Any suggestions?
-Charlie

I think you will find that the 'catastrophic loss of significance' is in
the printing at the default level. Try print(x, digits=15).

Datetime strings, methinks. If you do just want days, use as.Date not
as.POSIXct.

You're right, the problem was with the print function not displaying
enough
precision.

This may be a begining question. If so, please bear with me.
If I have some data that based on the historgram and other plots it
"looks" like a beta distribution. Is there a function or functions
within R to help me determine the model parameters for such a
distirbution? Similarily for other "common" distirbutions,
Poisson(lambda), Chi-Square(degrees of freedom, chi-square statistic),
etc. For a normal distribution it is relatively straight forward as mean
and variance can be computed failrly readily.
So far in my reading such parameters are more or less given but to do
any kind of inference using a prior model it seems key that these
parameters be at least estimated accurately.
Thank you.

Exactly how is the translation of "X9-" -> 00911 done? Are there
unique mappings of character sequences to numbers? How many different
ones might there be? Why do you have leading zeros on the result?
If they are changed to numeric, then the default printing results in
'911'. Can you provide an idea of what you data looks like - e.g.,
str(yourData). Is this to be done on all, or selected, columns? You
need to provide a bit more background so that we can understand the
problem you are trying to solve.

It sounds like function balloonplot from package gplots might be just
what you
are looking for.
There is, however, a bug in the labelling of the plot that I have been
meaning
to contact the maintainer about. If you change lines 364 and 376
respectively
from "labels=ynames," to "labels=ylab, and
"labels=xnames," to
"labels=xlab,",
it will work for this specific purpose. I have included the full code
for the
amended balloonplot function to the end of the email. You can just copy
and
paste into your R console.
Then, all that is required (given your dataframe D) is:
attach(D)
balloonplot(prop.table(table(time,y))*100)
This gives percentages. You can play with prop.table syntax to get
percentages of row or column totals, and play with titles, margin totals
etc
from there.
The amended balloonplot function (this is not an all-purpose fix - it
just
works for this specific purpose):

Andrew,
Your information is a little sparse, which limits how helpful list
members can
be. What is the purpose to recoding the values? By "read.fwp" did
you
mean "read.fwf" as in fixed-wdith format? Looking at your
"before"
and "after" example, the leading zeros in the "after"
example value
would
seem to mean the value is STILL an alphanumeric string rather than a
"number"
per se. It might order more neatly in a printout than common ascii, but
it
is really no different and should still be a list. As a rule, I would
recommend handling tasks related to data coding in a dbms such as
PostgreSQL
or Access. It is afterall what they are for.

models
To: R-Help Discussion <r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch>
Message-ID: <20080804063214.GN3754 at ms.unimelb.edu.au>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Dear R colleagues,
a friend and I are trying to develop a modest workflow for the problem
of decomposing tests of higher-order terms into interpretable sets of
tests of lower order terms with conditioning.
For example, if the interaction between A (3 levels) and C (2 levels)
is significant, it may be of interest to ask whether or not A is
significant at level 1 of C and level 2 of C.
The textbook response seems to be to subset the data and perform the
tests on the two subsets, but using the RSS and DF from the original
fit.
We're trying to answer the question using new explanatory variables.
This approach (seems to) work just fine in aov, but not lme.
For example,
########################################################################
##
# Build the example dataset
set.seed(101)
Block <- gl(6, 6, 36, lab = paste("B", 1:6, sep = ""))
A <- gl(3, 2, 36, lab = paste("A", 1:3, sep = ""))
C <- gl(2, 1, 36, lab = paste("C", 1:2, sep = ""))
example <- data.frame(Block, A, C)
example$Y <- rnorm(36)*2 + as.numeric(example$A)*as.numeric(example$C)^2
+
3 * rep(rnorm(6), each=6)
with(example, interaction.plot(A, C, Y))
# lme
require(nlme)
anova(lme(Y~A*C, random = ~1|Block, data = example))
summary(aov(Y ~ Error(Block) + A*C, data = example))
# Significant 2-way interaction. Now we would like to test the effect
# of A at C1 and the effect of A at C2. Construct two new variables
# that decompose the interaction, so an LRT is possible.
example$AC <- example$AC1 <- example$AC2 <- interaction(example$A,
example$C)
example$AC1[example$C == "C1"] <- "A1.C1" # A is
constant at C1
example$AC2[example$C == "C2"] <- "A1.C2" # A is
constant at C2
# lme fails (as does lmer)
lme(Y ~ AC1 + AC, random = ~ 1 | Block, data = example)
# but aov seems just fine.
summary(aov(Y ~ Error(Block) + AC1 + AC, data = example))
## AC was not significant, so A is not significant at C1
summary(aov(Y ~ Error(Block) + AC2 + AC, data = example))
## AC was significant, so A is significant at C2
## Some experimentation suggests that lme doesn't like the 'partial
## confounding' approach that we are using, rather than the variables
## that we have constructed.
lme(Y ~ AC, random = ~ 1 | Block, data = example)
lme(Y ~ A + AC, random = ~ 1 | Block, data = example)
########################################################################
##
Are we doing anything obviously wrong? Is there another approach to
the goal that we are trying to achieve?
Many thanks,
Andrew

Dear people
I've learnt that by using the "boxplot.stats" command in the
"grDevices"
library
I can get the 5-number summaries of a boxplot, plus other important
information,
like the confidence interval around the median.
I'm interested in knowing the actual formula to used in that package to
calculate that confidence interval.
Can someone help me with this?

See ?fivenum in the stats package. If you just type
stats::fivenum
you will get the code. The crucial calculations are in the last few

Dear colleagues,
I know SPSS can not compute linear mixed models. I used 'R' before for
computing multivariate analyses. But, I never encountered such a major
difference in outcome between SPSS and 'R':
In SPSS the Pearson correlation between variable 1 and variable 2 is 31%
p<0.001.
In SPSS binary logistic regression gives us an Odds Ratio (OR)=4.9 (95%
CI 2.7-9.0), p<0.001, n=338.
OR lower upper
gender 1,120 0,565 2,221
age 0,985 0,956 1,015
variable 2 4,937 2,698 9,032
In R multilevel logistic regression using statistical package 'lmer'
gives us an Odds Ratio=10.2 (95% CI 6.3-14), p=0.24, n=338, groups:
group 1, 98; group 2 84.
OR lower upper
gender 2,295 -2,840 7,430
age 0,003 -70,047 70,054
variable 2 10,176 6,295 14,056
The crosstabs gives us:
variable A
Var B 0 1
0 156 108
1 17 57
Would somebody know how it is possible that in SPSS we get p<0.001 and
in R we get p=0.24?
And, in 'R' the 95% CI of the Odds Ratio is 6.2-14.1. Why is the
p-value=0.24?
Thanks,
Ronald

Dear Sorn,
It's hard to guess what your problem is, as you don't provide any sample
code. My guess is that the graphics are empty. Did you use
print(qplot(...)) or just qplot(). The latter won't work. You need
print(qplot(...))

Onderwerp: [R] Sweave and ggplot2
Hi all,
I've been trying to run Sweave with R code embedded - using the ggplot2
package and in particular the qplot command. There appears to be a
problem
in Sweave not picking up that qplot is a function. Has anybody else
tried
to use qplot in Sweave and have you been successful? Any help would be
very much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Sorn

This looks like a generic issue with lme/lmer, in that they are not
happy with rank deficiencies in the design matrix.
Here's a "dirty" trick which you are not really supposed to know
about
because it is hidden inside the "stats" namespace:
M <- model.matrix(~AC1+AC, data=example)
M2 <- stats:::Thin.col(M)
summary(lme(Y ~ M2 - 1, random = ~ 1 | Block, data = example)
(Thin.col(), Thin.row(), and Rank() are support functions for
anova.mlm() et al., but maybe we should document them and put them out
in the open.)

You asked this before and you are still not providing sufficient
information.
Harold already pointed out that excluding an important variance
component in SPSS could easily explain a difference in p values.
However, the discrepancy between CI and p value suggests that you could
be misreading the output from lmer(), and/or misspecifying the model.
Now, you are simply not telling us
- what you did
- what the data are like (esp. which variables vary within and between
levels)
- what the output was
- which version of lmer() was used
Also you are confusing us with "variable 1", "variable 2",
"variable A",
and "Var B"

That will only give the code to calculate the five number summary, but
Fernando wants to know how the confidence interval is calculated in
boxplot.stats.
To see the code just type boxplot.stats followed by return at the
command line in R.
The relevant line is:
conf <- if (do.conf)
stats[3] + c(-1.58, 1.58) * iqr/sqrt(n)
Which is working on the median (stats[3]). Details of this computation
are in ?boxplot.stats which should have been Fernando's first port of
call. Two works are cited in support of the calculation with full
references in the References section of that help page.

Hi Everyone,
I'd omitted the non-optional 'parameters' argument to selfStart.
Making
this
change to SSbatch gives the same (successful) result from the two calls
to
nls.
SSbatch<-selfStart(
model=function(Batch, Coeffs)
{
Coeffs[Batch]
}
,initial=function(mCall, data, LHS)
{
# Estimate coefficients as mean of each batch
xy <- sortedXyData(mCall[["Batch"]], LHS, data)
Batch <- data[[as.character(mCall[["Batch"]])]]
# check Batch is successive integers starting at 1
if ((min(xy$x) !=1) | (any(diff(xy$x)!=1))) stop(
"Batch is not a successive integers sequence")
Lval <- list(xy$y)
names(Lval) <- mCall["Coeffs"]
Lval
}
, parameters = c("Coeffs")
)
Sorry for wasting anyones time.

yes.
Note that svn.r-project.org for the R sources (and some
recommended packages' ones) *only* runs the apache secure http
interface 'https:/.........' for security reasons.
It has the big advantage that there exist no (!) user logins on
that machine at all, and hence no compromised user ssh
information can be misused to break in.
