search for: earg

Dear R wizards: under R-2.1.0: eargs <- 3:5; line <- paste(c("echo A B", eargs)); cat("executing from R: '", line, "'\n"); system(line); Oddly, only "A" and "B" are echoed, not the eargs. I had hoped that line would be one string at this point, and for printing this s...

...If I run the same model using cloglog as the link, I get a result that looks like the result I get using cloglog in GLM. This is a bad fit for my data, however, as I have many more zeros than ones. The help document for loglog states that NaNs are produced when theta is close to 1 unless earg is used. I am confused as to how to properly use the earg parameter (and why I do not need it for cloglog despite having many zeros), leading me to wonder whether the loglog link here is really what I think it is (the compliment of cloglog). Again, any insights as to what I am missing wou...

...t I have. Here's the snippet that I use: library(VGAM) X <- read.table(file("~\\mydata.txt", encoding="latin1")) w <- as.vector(t((X[2]))) w <- w/sum(w) y <- (1:length(w)) fit = vglm (y ~ 1, zipf, tra=TRUE, weight=w) zipf(N=NULL, link="loge", earg=w, init.s=NULL) coef(fit, matrix=FALSE) Though R returns the necessary values, I am not entirely sure if this value returned (by the last command),is log(s) or log(-s), where s is the zipf exponent. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance! [[alternative H...
