Are there any S-Plus or R libraries/packages that do Finite Mixture Analysis following the algorithms similar to those implemented in Geoffrey MacLachlan's EMMIX program? Thanks. Dr. Marc R.

...I can't deduce from the help files or the readme what has changed that causes this error (I also can't exactly figure out what the error is). The example use of xpred.rpart works fine, but doesn't have a parms argument in the rpart function call. Any help appreciated. Dr. Marc R.

What is the generally accepted way to put certain math symbols into plain text email?

...9;s answer, let me ask two questions of this group: 1) has anyone here successfully compiled EMMIX from the source code supplied on MacLachlan's site? 2) is the f77 that comes with RH Linux the same as or significantly different from that on Unix boxes?

It may be my lack of unerstanding, but round() seems to me to give inconsistent results when rounding 5s as in the following examples? > round(1.45, 1) [1] 1.4 # OK > round(2.45, 1) [1] 2.5 # shouldn't this be 2.4? > round(1.05, 1) [1] 1.1 # 1.0 ? and signif(): > signif(2.445, 3) [1] 2.44 # OK > signif(3.445, 3) [1]

Hello, Does logistic regression really provide better results than lda or qda ? (my purpose is not classification but highlighting of discriminant variables). If this is true, where could I get an R script performing stepwise logistic regression ? Thanks -- Daniel AMORESE Lab.

I have in my inbox a note saying books are expected in early August. However, for R users there is relatively little advantage in the third edition, except that almost everything works unchanged. The real advantages of the third edition are for users of S-PLUS 5.x and 4.5/2000. > From: Marc R.
