Hi all, I've been toying with xapian (mostly using the Python bindings) and I think I've hit a bug in the TermIterator::skip_to() method (or maybe in QuartzAllTermsList::skip_to()). I've attached a c++ source file that demonstrates the issue. In short, if you have a WritableDatabase, ask for the all-terms TermIterator with db.allterms_begin(), and then skip_to() a word that is itself

I would like to fit a hierarchical regression model from Witte et al. (1994; see reference below). It's a logistic regression of a health outcome on quntities of food intake; the linear predictor has the form, X*beta + W*gamma, where X is a matrix of consumption of 82 foods (i.e., the rows of X represent people in the study, the columns represent different foods, and X_ij is the amount of

Hi, As you may know by now, yesterday on the Astricon the City of Amsterdam presented their large scale asterisk deployment of 20000 phones. Because they do not allow brand names to be used within the city, they call it 'IP Business Manager', but the software they use is in fact the Astium PBX, by NeoNova. Since we are very proud of this project, we have made the Astium available for

Hi All, Does someone have an idea of how to cleverly convert a categorical timeseries into a transition matrix? Ie, I have something like: x<- c(1,1,2,1,1,2,2,2,1,2), And I want a matrix with counts and/or probabilities: > tr <- matrix(c(2,3,2,2),2,2) > tr [,1] [,2] [1,] 2 2 [2,] 3 2 Meaning that there are two transitions from 1 to 1, two from 1 to 2, three from 2 to 1

Hi, all. I'm trying to automate some regression operations in R but am confused about how to evaluate expressoins that are expressed as character strings. For example: y <- ifelse (rnorm(10)>0, 1, 0) sex <- rnorm(10) age <- rnorm(10) test <- as.data.frame (cbind (y, sex, age)) # this works fine: glm (y ~ sex + I(age^2), data=test, family=binomial(link="logit"),

Hi, In last one week I have seen two servers of our organization successfully hacked and some other under attack from some other IP addresses. We would block one IP address on our firewall and after a few hours, they would start getting hits from some another IP address. When I checked them on whois.net, they all were from Amsterdam. Surprisingly, I once had similar attack in the past and it was

Is there a quick way to fit student-t regressions (that is, a regression with t-distributed error, ideally with the degrees-of-freedom parameter estimated from the data)? I can do it easily enough in Bugs, or I can program the log-likelihood in R and optimize using optim(), but an R version (if it's already been written by somebody) would be convenient, especially for teaching purposes.

hello everyone, theres a bi-monthly computer fair in amsterdam on saturday and it looks like a few asterisk users will be attending, and hopefully some more might be able to turn up. admittedly this probably is a bad idea to advertise because the more asterisk people the less likely i am to find cheap AVM Fritz ISDN cards - but what the hell. if you feel like a chat, and want to avoid the
