...-serving and unrealistic view of the value of formal inference in quantifying true scientific uncertainty when we do such exploration -- and that there is therefore something fundamentally contradictory in our own rhetoric and methods. Taking a larger view, I think this remark is part of the deeper epistemological issue of characterizing what can be scientifically "known" or, indeed, defining the difference between science and art, say. My own view is that scientific certainty is a fruitless concept: we build models that we benchmark against our subjective measurements (as the measurements themselv...

Hi, I''m having some trouble downloading a .csv file from a particular website. The file isn''t part of a url, you need to click on a link in order to get the file sent. I don''t know how to get mechanize to correctly identify that. Here is the link to the file I''m trying to retrieve: <td style="vertical-align: bottom; text-align: center;">

"in non linear modelling finding appropriate starting values is something like an art"... (maybe from somewhere in Crawley , 2007) Here a colleague and I just want to compare different response models to a null model. This has worked OK for almost all the other data sets except that one (dumped below). Whatever our trials and algorithms, even subsetting data (to check if some singular

I have an example where escaping "." does not seem to be behaving consistently, but perhaps it is due to my misunderstanding. Could someone explain to me why the below produces the output it does? It seems to me that in the second example, where I am being more precise about specifying that a "." (dot) should be between the numbers, should produce the same output as the first

Cologne, 10.12.00 Dear Sir, Dear Madam, We are concerned about the possibility that the European Commission might introduce software patenting into the European Community because we think this will harm our profession. We make our living on data management and statistical analyses. Modern statistics crucially depends on algorithms [cf. Venables, W. N., & Ripley, B. D. (1999). Modern applied

Hello everybody I want to compare the proportions of germinated seeds (seed batches of size 10) of three plant types (1,2,3) with a glm with binomial data (following the method in Crawley: Statistics,an introduction using R, p.247). The problem seems to be that in two plant types (2,3) all plants have proportions = 0. I give you my data and the model I'm running: success failure
