...understand what it states (which of course could always be the case) Given that this is a negative binomial model, the mean is often times to the right of the most likely value, so I'd like to ask how one would go about predicting the most likely value.

...2 So SAS uses the position of the ASCII character to determine what variable the data should be in while the SCAN or the READ. FWF function of R uses the width of the column. Does anyway have a smart and/or automated way of moving my ASCII data into R using this .SAS program ? -- -Don Don Catanzaro, PhD Landscape Ecologist dgcatanzaro at gmail.com 16144 Sigmond Lane Lowell, AR 72745 479-751-3616

...R/e4/help/08/04/8987.html I am not so sure anymore. I am afraid I did not understand Frank Harrell's last suggestion regarding improper scoring rule - can someone point me to some internet resources that I might be able to review to see why my approach would not be valid ? -- -Don Don Catanzaro, PhD Landscape Ecologist dgcatanzaro at gmail.com 16144 Sigmond Lane Lowell, AR 72745 479-751-3616

...for my negative binomial model that I can substitute into the cost function of cv.glm() ? Would anyone care to recommend one (or many) ? Thanks in advance for your patience ! -Don PS - if you've seen my previous posts, I've abandoned my 80/20 split validation scheme. -- -Don Don Catanzaro, PhD Landscape Ecologist dgcatanzaro at gmail.com 16144 Sigmond Lane 479-751-3616 Lowell, AR 72745

...I am hoping there is an easy or slick solution but as I started to think about it, it might be rather complex because you'd need to tell xyplot what granularity you'd like to not connect (e.g. 5 hours in a row, 4 days in a row, etc). Any help would be much appreciated ! -- -Don Don Catanzaro, PhD Landscape Ecologist dgcatanzaro at gmail.com 16144 Sigmond Lane Lowell, AR 72745 479-751-3616
