Dear All: I have a clinical study where I would like to compare the demographic information for 2 samples in a study. The demographics include both categorical and continuous variables. I would like to be able to say whether the demographics are significantly different or not. The majority of papers that I have read use multiple techniques to achieve this (e.g., t-test for the continuous variables and either Fischer exact or Chi...

Hi all, I am using aidsEst( ) in "micEconAids" package to estimate Demand system. But I would like to add more demographic variables in demand system. How can I add those information? for example: mydata<-data.frame(p1,p2,p3,p4, s1,s2,s3,s4, totalexp,

...the admin app for an existing java webapp. For this reason, I am constrained by the current database structure, which does not by any means conform to the ideal rails defaults. Anyway, I have the following models: class Provider... belongs_to: login class Login... has_and_belongs_to_many :demographics class Demograpics... ... Everyone has a login. Everyone has one demographic row (why is it habtm you ask? just bad database design). But not all logins are providers--there are other kinds of users. What I want to do is create a query with find() that will preload all login and demographic...

I am a relatively new R user and have recently built a multivariate dataset without the demographic information. Is there any package or code to simulate subgroup dataset (race, sex, age) using R? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Alok [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

...rom the 'Cloud'? Ubuntu installations currently trumps the combined numbers of Centos, Fedora and RHEL (not that using Centos/Fedora/RHEL guarantees secure installations) installations and I just wondered on that aspect. On another note, I wonder how big a change will take place in the demographics when Centos 6 'hits the streets'.

...d what it's intended to do. The documentation is generally pretty scant. Working with two columns: Date of Death (DOD) and Last Known Date Alive (LKDA). One or the other column is populated for each of the patients in my dataframe and the other column is blank. When I run code like "with(Demographics, coalesce(DOD, LKDA))", the function generates a value whenever DOD is not missing and generates NA otherwise (even though the value for LKDA is not missing). So, for example, I get an NA for the 8th element below, even though I have a value of "2008-03-25" for LKDA. > with(Demog...

Hello R users, I am relatively new to the R program, and I hope some of you can offer me some suggestions on how to organize my data in R using some of the more advanced data structuring technique. Here's my scenario: I have date set of 50 participants (each with conditions and demographic data), each participant performed 2x16 trials, for each trial, there was specific information about the

In Germany the Unemployment Agency uses a sectioning of the german map that is different from the usual Administrative Boundaries. Some demographic data are available in Administrative Boundaries only, some in Unemployment Boundaries only. I would like to generate estimates in one boundary system of data availabe in the other boundary system, and would appreciate advice concerning the following

Dear R-Helpers, I have a matrix where the first column is known. The second column is the result of multiplying this first column with a constant "const". The third column is the result of multiplying the second column with "const"..... So far, I did it like this (as a simplified example): nr.of.columns <- 4 myconstant <- 27.5 mymatrix <- matrix(numeric(0), nrow=5,

Hi all, I got curious about something, so in proper scientific fashion I obtained some data and analyzed it. Question: what is the female participation in the R-help email list? Data: the most recent list postings, obtained from the website. I took my best shot at classifying the names given in the email header as male/female, but ended with a fair number of unknowns. This dataset had 2797

Dear all, I would like to produce a map with information about the patenting activity in German districts, by coloring districts with different degrees of patenting activity in different colors. I work with the packages maptools, maps and spdep. The map data is read from an external .shp file (+ the corresponding .shx and .dbf files). Plotting a map with the IDs or the patenting indicator itself

For 1 demographic this is straightforward: Demo_names <- c("Age", "Education", "Marital", "Familysize", "Income", "Housing") means1 <- as.list(rep(0, length(Demo_names))) for (i in 1:length(Demo_names)) { Demo_tmp <- Demo_names...

Dear all, I have found a bug in nlm() and would like to submit a report on this. Since nlm() is in the stats-package, which is maintained by the R Core team, bug reports should be submitted to R's Bugzilla. However, I'm not a member of Bugzilla. Could anyone be so kind to add me to R's Bugzilla members or let me know to whom I should send the bug report? Thank you in advance. Kind

Hey Ilio, I revisited the previous code i posted to you and fixed some things. This should let you collect as many studies as you like, controlled by the num_studies arg. If you try the below url in your browser you can see that it returns a "simpler" version of the link you posted. To get to this you need to hit F12 to open Developer Tools --> go to Network tab and click on the

Sorry that this thread is a little off topic, but I''m looking for some varying opinions on the subject and I think this group has a breadth of experience on this matter :) A little background info... the registration process for a web application I am developing will be targeting those ages 13+ with the bulk of the users being in the 13-25 age range. We are in the process of developing

Dear R-users, I am going to try to be as clearer as possible, showing also an example. 1) I have a function (in my real case it's much more complex) 2) I use "optim" to minimize 3) I want to use as method L-BFGS-B for several reasons 4) I know I could use "trace=6" (in "control") in order to see "live" the procedure 5) I would like to see separately the

Dear R-users, within the rgl-package, I would have a question about the usage of persp3d in combination of rgl.viewpoint. I am not able to figure out how to let a 3D plot rotating around likewise the example in ?rgl.viewpoint. It seems that when I use persp3d(...) I see something on my screen, which is different from what I get when it's rotating. Is there any different behavior between

Hi everyone, Does anyone know if there is a package to compute raking weights using R? What I need is to create a variable with weights base in some demographic variables (e.g. sexo, age group, area) using the raking procedure. Thank you in advance! -- Sebasti?n Daza
