Hello! One note/question hier about specification of control-parameters in the lme(...,control=list(...)) function call: i tried to specify tne number of iteration needed via lme(....,control=list(maxIter=..., niterEM=...,msVerbose=TRUE)) but every time i change the defualt values maxIter (e.g. maxIter=1, niterEM=0) on ones specified by me, the call returns all the iterations needed until

Hi, I am trying to recreate the right graph on page 524 of Gelman's 2006 paper "Prior distributions for variance parameters in hierarchical models" in Bayesian Analysis, 3, 515-533. I am only interested, however, in recreating the portion of the graph for the overlain prior density for the half-Cauchy with scale 25 and not the posterior distribution. However, when I try:

I have question (curiosity) regarding returned values of R's qcauchy () function, for nonexceedance probability (F). It seems the ideal returned range of cauchy distribution should be [-Inf,Inf]. For F=0 > qcauchy(0) [1] -Inf but for F=1 > qcauchy(1) [1] 8.16562e+15 It seems to me that the proper return value should be Inf??? For default (location=0,scale=1) quantile function of

In complex analysis, Cauchy's integral theorem states (loosely speaking) that the path integral of any entire differentiable function, around any closed curve, is zero. I would like to see this numerically, using R (and indeed I would like to use the residue theorem as well). Has anyone coded up path integration? -- Robin Hankin Uncertainty Analyst Southampton Oceanography Centre

Hi I'm using R(2.9.0) and gstat package under Windows to plot sample variograms. When I want to fit them, I don't have the possibility to choose Cauchy functions. Under Mathematica for example, we have it and it seems to be the best one to fit the variograms I have I tested the others functions, they can fit but I would,if possible, use the Cauchy one. If anybody knows something about

Hi all, I am using the function COV.WT to estimate the estimators (location and scale) of a bivariate cauchy distribution. My doubt is about the option WT (weight), cause at the R-help shows that the weight is uniform according to the number of observations. But, checking the theory, for example, the mean is given by mean_estimator=mean(u(s)x)/mean(u(s)), where x=my data (bivariate)

What is the current state of the R-art for ordered probit models, and more esoterically is there any available R strategy for ordered cauchit models, i.e. ordered multinomial alternatives with a cauchy link function. MCMC is an option, obviously, but for a univariate latent variable model this seems to be overkill... standard mle methods should be preferable. (??) Googling reveals that spss provides such functions... just to wave a...

I am attempting to run a Poisson EWMA model using Patrick Brandt's source code. I get the following error when I run the code: Error in dimnames(x) <- dn : length of 'dimnames' [1] not equal to array extent Dimnames(x) looks like this: [[1]] NULL [[2]] [1] "mip" "div" "nom" "unity" "mood"

I found this a few months ago, but for the life of me I can't remember what the function or package was, and I have had no luck finding it this week. I have found, again, the functions for working with distributions like Cauchy, F, normal, &c., and ks.test, but I have not found the functions for estimating the distribution parameters given a vector of values. What I need to do is

Dear all, This is a pure statistical question, not necessarly related to R. I could not find it in literature. Suppose I'm intersted in a parameter rho, say, equal to: r=beta1/beta2, where beta1 and beta2 come from a linear model y=beta0+beta1X1+beta2X2+.... Fitting the model I can get the (biased) estimate of r=b1/b2, where b1 and b2 are the estimates in the regression model; I can get the

Can anyone explain such different output: > stableFit(s,alpha = 1.75, beta = 0, gamma = 1, delta = 0, + type = c("q", "mle"), doplot = TRUE, trace = FALSE, title = NULL, + description = NULL) Title: Stable Parameter Estimation Call: .qStableFit(x = x, doplot = doplot, title = title, description = description) Model: Student-t Distribution Estimated

Hi R lovers! I'd like to know how to use the parameter 'start' in the function fitdistr() obviously I have to provide the initial value of the parameter to optimize except in the case of a certain set of given distribution Indeed according to the help file for fitdistr " For the following named distributions, reasonable starting values will be computed if `start'

Hi, I noticed this problem on my home desktop running FC4 and again on my laptop running FC5. Both have previously compiled and passed make check-all on 2.3.1 svn revisions from 10 days ago or so. On both these machines, make check-all is consistently failing (4 out of 4 attempts on the FC 4 desktop and 3 out of 3 on the FC 5 laptop) in the p-r-random-tests tests. This is with both default

Hello, The following code: > binomial(identity) Generates an error message: Error in binomial(identity) : link "identity" not available for binomial family; available links are ?logit?, ?probit?, ?cloglog?, ?cauchit?, ?log? While : > binomial("identity") Yields an identity-binomial object that works as expected with stats::glm The error in the first example mislead me during years. I thought identity-binomial models were unsupported by R. The documentation is correct but misleading too. > T...

Hi, I'd like to know if there's anything in R that could help me do that. Let's suppose I have a density function of a random variable, for example f(x) = (x^3)/4 0 < x < 2 and I would like to simulate it. For the common distributions (exponencial, gamma, cauchy) there are the r-functions (rgamma, rexp, runif, rcauchy, and so on).. But when the variable I want to simulate is not

Hi Folks, I am interested in extending the repertoire of link functions in glm(Y~X, family=binomial(link=...)) to include a "tan" link: eta = (4/pi)*tan(mu) i.e. this link bears the same relation to the Cauchy distribution as the probit link bears to the Gaussian. I'm interested in sage advice about this from people who know their way aroung glm. >From the surface, it looks

Hello, I'm taking samples from certain distributions and drawing a density distribution over the histogram of the samples It works fine for the chi-square and for the normal, but not for the cauchy. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks x <- rchisq(10000, df = 4) hist(x, freq = FALSE, breaks=100) curve(dchisq(x, df = 4), col = 2, add = TRUE) x <- rnorm(10000) hist(x, freq =

Dear all, A am trying to fit a generalized linear mixed effects model with a binomial link function, my response data is binary, using the lme4 R package, for the glmer model but with the cauchit link function (CDF of Cauchy distribution), under the package this has not yet been coded and was wondering if anyone knew a way in which I could incorporate this link function into the code.
