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:

Hi R-users, Recently, I use maxNR function to find maximizer. I have error appears as follows Error in maxNRCompute(fn = fn, grad = grad, hess = hess, start = start, : NA in the initial gradient My code is mu=2 s=1 n=300 library(maxLik) set.seed(1004) x<-rcauchy(n,mu,s) loglik<-function(mu) { log(prod(dcauchy(x,mu,s))) } maxNR(loglik,start=median(x))$estimate Does anyone know how

Hello all... I am just starting to teach myself Bayesian methods, and am interested in learning how to use UMacs. I've read the documentation, but the single example is a bit over my head at the level I am at right now. I was wondering if anyone has any simple examples they'd like to share. I've successfully done a couple of simple gibbs examples, but have had a hard time

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 =

(1) ...need to speed up a monte-carlo sampling...any suggestions about how I can get R to use all 8 cores of a mac pro would be most useful and very appreciated...

Hi everybody, I''m using R on a 64-bit Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty). I prefer to install R packages from source, even if they are available in Synaptic. The problem is that I can''t install/compile kernlab. Everything works fine until it gets to the lazy loading part: ** preparing package for lazy loading Creating a new generic function for "terms" in "kernlab"

On a recent FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT (i386) building R (any version) breaks with the following messages: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [...snip...] gcc -std=gnu99 -I. -I../../src/include -I../../src/include -I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O2 -c wilcox.c -o wilcox.o gcc -std=gnu99 -I. -I../../src/include -I../../src/include -I/usr/local/include

Folks, I wonder if anything could be said about the distribution of a random variate x, where x = N(0,1)/N(0,1) Obviously x is pathological because it could be 0/0. If we exclude this point, so the set is {x/(0/0)}, does x have a well defined distribution? or does it exist a distribution that approximates x. (The case could be generalized of course to N(mu1, sigma1)/N(mu2, sigma2) and one

Hi! I have just downloaded the R-0.60.1 sources and have problems compiling R on a Sun Ultra 1 running Solaris 2.6 and gcc 2.7.2.1. I have not been able to find to find any compiling hints in the documentation or the FAQ. After ./configure I use make and get the output below. Any hints are welcome. I am not on the list, so please answer me directly too. Best regards Jens --- Jens Lund

Hi again ! Thanks for the info on updating the config.site file which I have done. I have also added -lm in the Makeconf manually because this is needed explicitly for DEC cc. However, there are still a few problems when linking some of the files as you can see from the enclosed log.

Hi, Just downloaded the R-0.62.4 of R and tried to install it. With the standard procedure : ./configure make At the end of the compilation I got the following message : ld: ../lib/libunix.a(system.o): main: multiply defined fort: Severe: Failed while trying to link. *** Exit 1 Stop. *** Exit 1 Stop. *** Exit 1 Stop. *** Exit 1 Stop.

I have problems compiling R successfully on a DEC-UINX 4.0E. I have applied the recommended config.site, which I enclose. As can be seen from the compilation log there are linking errors... I did a 'make check' which fails for the R

There is a problem with `rpois'. It does seem to take care about the order of the arguments. This is an example: > rpois(n=1,lambda=2) [1] 3 > rpois(lambda=2,n=1) [1] 2 0 It obviously uses the first argument as the number of samples to be drawn, which is wrong. I used Version 0.49 Beta (April 23, 1997). Fredrik

Hello, I am trying to compile R using the Sun WorkShop 6.0 (Forte) compilers. I don't think I am having a problem with the compilers, but instead with figuring out how to modify the R configuration to use non-Gnu compilers. I found in your documentation that one should modify the config.site file to change compilers, compiler flags, library paths, etc. I made modifications in this file,
