Hi All, I'm having some trouble assigning arguments inside a function to produce a plot from a model Can anyone help me? Below I've outlined the situation and examples of failing and working code.

I'm trying to use nls() to fit an exponential decay with an unknown offset in the time (independent variable). (Perhaps this is inherently very difficult?). > decay.pl <- nls (amp ~ expn(b0,b1,tau,t0,t), data = decay, + start = c(b0=1, b1=7.5, tau=3.5, t0=0.1), trace=T) Error in nlsModel(formula, mf, start) : singular gradient matrix at initial parameter estimates

I hope this question is adequate for this list I use the nnet code from V&R p. 348: The very nice and general function CVnn2() to choose the number of hidden units and the amount of weight decay by an inner cross-validation- with a slight modification to use it for classification (see below). My data has 2 classes with unequal size: 45 observations for classI and 116 obs. for classII With

Hi, I am new to R. I am trying to plot the decay of a population over time (0-50yrs). I have the initial population value (5000) and the mortality rate (0.26/yr) and I can't figure out how to apply this so I get a remaining population value each year. In excel (ignoring headings) I would put 5000 in A1, in B2 I would enter the formula A1*0.26, and then in A2 (the next years population) I

Hello, I have a data set of data which is best fit by an exponential decay function. I would like to use a nonlinear weighted least squares regression. What function should I be using? Thank you! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Greetings all, So, I''ve finally found a place to play around with the Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater. In looking at the API, I''m liking the decay option -- not necessarily for my current purpose, but just to keep in mind -- and I have a question: can the decay be a function which returns an integer? Basically, why I''m looking for is a logarithmic decay (where the system

I finally got (mostly) what I wanted. In an attempt to figure out how to get nls to deal with a non-differentiable function, I had (stupidly) 'simplified' the problem until it became singular. Can I do something to make optim() less sensitive to my initial guess? For this example, I get a lousy solution if I make the initial guess for t0 = min(t) = 0.05. Thanks again, -- Robert Merithew

I just thought of a useful metaphore for the problem I face. I am dealing with a problem in business finance, with two kinds of related events. However, imagine you have a known amount of carbon (so many kilograms), but you do not know what fraction is C14 (and thus radioactive). Only the C14 will give decay events (and once that event has occurred, the atom that decayed will never decay

Hi, I want to use the neural network package AMORE and I don't find in the documentation the weight decay option. Could someone tell if it is possible to add a regularization parameter (also known as a weight decay) to the training method. Is it possible to alter the gradient descent rule for that? Thanks, Ron

Dear R-users, dear Prof. Ripley as package maintainer I tried to investigate the odd error, when I call nnet together with a 'weights' parameter, using the 'fgl' example in V&R p 348 The error I get is: Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : Object "w" not found I think it is a kind of scoping problem, but I really cannot see, what the problem exactly is. and

Hello all, When going through the internals of the old C back-end, I see that the CBE encapsulates arrays into a struct. The source code has the following comment to explain this behaviour. // Arrays are wrapped in structs to allow them to have normal // value semantics (avoiding the array "decay"). For example, the CBE translates: @a = common global [10 x i32]

Dear R-users I use nnet for a classification (2 classes) problem. I use the code CVnn1, CVnn2 as described in V&R. The thing I changed to the code is: I define the (class) weight for each observation in each cv 'bag' and give the vector of weights as parameter of nnet(..weights = weight.vector...) Unfortunately I get an error during some (but not all!) inner-fold cv runs:

Hello all: I would like to test whether there are treatment effects on decomposition rate, and I would like to inquire about the best, most appropriate means using R. I have plant decomposition data that is generally considered to follow an exponential decay model as follows: Wt = Wi * exp(-k * t) Where Wt and Wi are the weights of the plant material at time t and 0, respectively. k is a

Dear All, Apologies if my questions are too basic for this list. I am given a set of data corresponding to list of detection times (real, non-integer numbers in general) for some events, let us say nuclear decays to fix the ideas. It is a small dataset, corresponding to about 400 nuclear decay times. I would like to test the hypothesis that these decay times are Poissonian-distributed. What is

Hi, I am trying to determine the number of units in the hidden layer and the decay rate using the CVnn2 script found in MASS directory (reference: pg 348,MASS-4). The model that I am using is in the form of Y ~ X1 + X2 + X3... + X11 and the underlying data is time-series in nature. I found the MASS and nnet package extremely useful (many thanks to the contributors). However I am getting

...bles, but I'm still struggling with what functions will do the other aspects... but I have to think that someone has done this before. glm does Poisson but not time series explicitly, thus nor exponential decay Arima() from forecast does time series obviously but not multivariate prediction or decaying lags dse() does multivariate time series regression but not Poisson or decaying lags (or does it?) dynlm() does multivariate time series regression but not Poisson or decaying lags Suggestions? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Multivariate-time-series-Poisson-with-...

This smells like homework, which the Posting Guide indicates is off topic. I am not aware of "the function" that will solve this, but if you know what a gradient is analytically then you should be able to put together a solution very similar to the code you already have with the addition of using the coef function. -- Sent from my phone.

Try coef( graphmodeld ) And you don't need to approximate if you use the newdata argument to the predict function. I think reading the "Introduction to R" that comes with R would help. -- Sent from my phone. Please excuse my brevity.
