thanks a lot Renaud. but i was interested in Finney's fiducial confidence intervals of LD50 so to obtain comparable results with SPSS. But your reply leads me to the next question: does anybody know what is the best method (asymptotic, bootstrap etc.) for calculating confidence intervals of LD50? i could "get rid" of Fin...

I am working with Probit regression (I cannot switch to logit) can anybody help me in finding out how to obtain with R Finney's fiducial confidence intervals for the levels of the predictor (Dose) needed to produce a proportion of 50% of responses(LD50, ED50 etc.)? If the Pearson chi-square goodness-of-fit test is significant (by default), a heterogeneity factor should be used to calculate the limits. Respons...

Hi, I have several Debian servers with puppet 0.23.2. Part of my manifest looks like this: class virt_all_users { @group { "andy": ensure => "present", gid => "1000" } @user { "andy": ensure => "present", uid => "1000",

...padmin, TGGLOCAL+Domain Admins guest ok = Yes ===== The frustrating part is that this was working briefly a week ago, but is not currently and I can't determine why.

...ASSIFIED Caveats: NONE A similar question has been posted in the past but never answered. My question is this: for probit analysis, how do you program a 95% confidence interval for the LD50 (or LC50, ec50, etc.), including a heterogeneity factor as written about in "Probit Analysis" by Finney(1971)? The heterogeneity factor comes into play through the chi-squared test for homogeneity and is equal to h=chi^2/(k-2), where k is the number of doses and k-2 are the degrees of freedom. I have done a lot of research on this and really appreciate any help anyone can provide. Thank you! Cla...

hi there-- i'm rather new to rsync, but I've been very happily using it for around a month or two now, and I keep finding all kinds of new uses for it. one thing i've been doing lately is using rsync to keep all my config files in sync on the 20 some-odd machines on which I have accounts. I was just setting this up for an account i have on a cray t3e machine running (what i believe

Does any one have a recipe for getting facter facts from ldap?

For those of you out there using export/collect (which we really need to come up with a better name for...), can you test the current SVN code? I''m mostly wondering if the performance is any better. To use it, you''ll have to remove your current database, since the database schema is significantly changed. I''m getting what looks like an additional 25% reduction

it seems that when you say "check for new mail" in apple mail, it sends a NOOP to the imap server to get the response. in uw, the conversation is something like: 25 NOOP 25 OK NOOP completed 26 NOOP * 2796 EXISTS * 7 RECENT 26 OK NOOP completed however, with dovecot, if it has already notified the client that new mail has arrived, it will look something like: * 24 EXISTS * 2 RECENT

hello all, first off, a success story. after much testing and preperation, we've switched from uw-imap to dovecot. i am not kidding when i say that we have experienced an order of magnitude decrease in server load (previously load peaks were 40-60, now they are 3-4). so, suffice to say that the mail admins here are very happy :) one problem that has come up though is particular to

Recently I started noticing that after running for a while puppetmaster would freeze after a client called `freshness` which would eventually result in the client getting a timeout and the client dyeing. I tracked the freeze down to the call to ActiveRecord::Base.verify_active_connections! in rails.rb on line 26. After scouring the nets I finally found:

Hi, I simply asked to upstream for a clarification on the use of the Xen trademark, and received two unambiguous answers. From Citrix: Actually, for the community, you can do whatever you like. The FIT test only applies to commercially distributed Xen products - and is about ensuring compatibility between vendors. Do you need more detail than that?

Because here in Puppet-land we''re all about self-reference and recursion, and because I actually have to give a talk at RubyConf next weekend about abusing self-reference, and because parent nodes aren''t considered harmful in my own world, I give you: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000982.html I think it manages to somehow be both on- and off-topic at the same

Hi! I'm trying to implement an outlier test once/row in a large dataframe. Ideally, I'd do this then add the Pvalue results and the number flagged as an outlier as two new separate columns to the dataframe. Grubbs outlier test requires a vector and I'm confused how to make each row of my dataframe a vector, followed by doing a Grubbs test for each row containing the vector of numbers

Just wondering if anyone is using a backend database other than sqlite, and if so, how easy/hard it was to configure. I''m constantly receiving "SQLite3::BusyException: database is locked..." which I presume is due to sqlite''s relatively coarse locking method.

hi list, i'm in the process of testing dovecot before a hopeful switchover from uw-imap/qpopper to dovecot, primarily to get off of the uw-imap/mbox combo and moved to Maildir. i think we've worked out the logistics to avoid any service downtime, with only a short window of a few minutes per user for when we convert from mbox to maildir format. however, during testing a few issues have
