Dear R Users, There exists a non-central hypergeometric distribution function in the (MCMCpack) package, and a hypergeometric distribution function in the (stats) package. Is there a function for sampling from an extended hypergeometric distribution? Thanks, Narcyz This message is intended for the addressee named and may con...{{dropped}}

Hi, I hope somebody can help me on how to use the hypergeometric function. I did read through the R documentation on hypergeometric but not really sure what it means. I would like to evaluate the hypergeometric function as follows: F((2*alpha+1)/2, (2*alpha+2)/2 , alpha+1/2, betasq/etasq). I'm not sure which function should be used- either phyper...

I have been reading, in various sources, that a poisson distribution is related to binomial, extending the idea to include numbers of events in a given period of time. In my case, the hypergeometric distribution seems more appropriate, but I need a temporal dimension to the distribution. I have weekly samples of two kinds of events: call them A and B. I have a count of A events. These change dramatically from one week to the next. I also have weekly counts of B events that I can relate t...

Is there any way to know how the "dmvt" function computes the hypergeometric function needed in the calculation for the density of multivariate t distribution? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/hypergeometric-function-in-mvtnorm-tp4483730p4483730.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

...to estimate the likelihood that the number of genes overlapping between 2 different lists of genes is due to chance. This appears to work appropriately. Now i want to try this with 3 lists of genes which phyper() does not appear to support. Some googling suggests i can utilize the Multivariate hypergeometric distribution to achieve this. eg.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypergeometric_distribution But when i try to do this manually using the choose() function (see attempt below example with just two gene lists) i'm unable to perform the calculations- the numbers hit infinity before getting...

For those who are interested, I have made available a R function for noncentral hypergeometric distribution at http://www.geocities.com/jg_liao/software/Hypergeometric/hypergeometric_in_R.txt The paper that describes the algorithm will appear in The American Statistician. The function does not run on S-plus as the R's scoping rule is used. Here is how the function can be used:...

Hello. Somebody knows how to compute generalized hypergeometric series in R? (see http://functions.wolfram.com/HypergeometricFunctions/HypergeometricPFQ/02/ to understand what I mean) Thanks in advance, Arnau.

...7 and then I tried this command: (fisher.test(matrix(c(17,449,181,19551),2,2), alternative='greater'))$p.value [1] 3.693347e-06 Shouldn't be identical the results of the two commands ? What is the difference ?

I'd like to fit the (1-displaced) negative hypergeometric distribution to data samples such as the following:- x <- c(370, 311, 299, 266, 265, 232, 197, 198, 170, 154, 133, 123, 120, 103, 80, 72, 69, 67, 67, 50, 36, 35, 26, 23, 15, 11, 9, 6, 5, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2) i.e., I want to estimate the parameter values of K and M (with my data, n would usually be...

A cut and paste typo has crept in and is rendering all values returned for the hypergeometric distribution incorrect. The problem is in src/main/arithmetic.c in the function "math4". The lines PROTECT(sy = allocVector(REALSXP, n)); a = REAL(sa); b = REAL(sb); c = REAL(sc); d = REAL(sc); /* <-- change this line */ y = REAL(sy)...

"help" We want to estimate the number of caribou in Jasper. We recently conducted an aerial survey and saw 70 uncollared caribou and 8 of 11 collared caribou. We want to estimate the number of caribou in this population with 95% confidence limits. Gary White uses the hypergeometric distribution and determines the population estimates using maximum likelihood and 95%CL as -2LogLikelihoods. Below, I determined the population estimate using dhyper(x,m,n,k) and maximizing the density value as a function of n, but do not know how I should calculate MLE with this distribution....

In both versions of R to which I currently have access (R-0.16.1 and R-0.61.1), "phyper" stops returning correct cumulative probabilities as the parameters of the hypergeometric distribution get large. For example, when N1=1345, N2=1055, and n=1330, phyper returns either 0 or 1, and nothing in between. Looking at phyper.c, it's clear what's happening. First a term (called "term") is computed: term = exp(lfastchoose(NR, xr) + lfastchoose(NB, xb)...

Hi, I'm an R newbie and I've got a question regarding a certain function in R. I need to calculate values of the hypergeometric 2f1 function (hyp2f1 in cephes math library, Hypergeometric2f1 in Mathematica) and I'm wondering if anyone has tried to implement it in R or S-Plus. If not, what would be the prefered way to do so? Should I rather try to use an external C module or implement it in R directly? Thanks for any...

Dear list, I have performed several tests for the hypergeometric distribution using phyper() for some gene annotation categories as follows >phyper(26,830,31042,337, lower.tail=F) >phyper(16,387,31042,337, lower.tail=F) . . . I am only running some selected categories but I would like to correct this value for multiple testing since I have 3121 p...

Dear All I have a question about the hypergeomteric distribution. Example 1: I have a universe of 6187 objects, and 164 have a particular attribute, therefore 6187-164 do not have that attribute. I sample 249 of those objects, and find that 19 have that attribute. I get a p-value here (looking at just over-representation): phyper(19, 164, 6187-164, 249, lower.tail=FALSE) [1] 7.816235e-06

...le being of size 'n = sum(x)'." The last paragraph suggests that in the goodness-of-fit case, if p gives the expected probability for each cell, this random sampling is multinomial. Unfortunately, as the following examples reveal, the sampling model is neither multinomial nor hypergeometric - at least when it is applied to a 4-fold table. This is rather sad as some people assume that R's chisq.test function can perform a Monte Carlo test of X-squared, employing a multinomial model - in other words, assuming that your data are a single random sample. ### Example 1. > x=m...

Hello! I use R-version 1.0.0 To get the 0.95 quantile of the hypergeometric distribution with the parameters m=45000,n=5000 and k=600 I use the R-command > qhyper(0.95,45000,5000,600). The value obtained is 600. However, the true value is 552. The latter can be obtained for example by calling the corresponding distribution function with the R commands > x&lt...
