Increasing precision of rgenoud solutions
Dear All
I am using rgenoud to solve the following maximization problem:
myfunc <- function(x) {
x1 <- x[1]
x2 <- x[2]
if (x1^2+x2^2 > 1)
return(-9999999)
else x1+x2
}
genoud(myfunc, nvars=2,
Domains=rbind(c(0,1),c(0,1)),max=TRUE,boundary.enforcement=2,solution.tolerance=0.000001)
How can one increase the precision of the solution

rgenoud for multiple chips: does a more recent special version of "snow" exist?
Dear everyone,
I am trying to run rgenoud on several chips simultaneusly. I used the
instructions provided on Jasjeet Sekhon's Homepage
(http://sekhon.berkeley.edu/rgenoud/multiple_cpus.html).
However, I have the newer version of R (R 2.12) installed - for a
64-bit machine. So, when I tried to install the special version of
"snow" from a zip file provided by Jasjeet on his page, R did not
allow me t...

R performance: different CPUs
Hello!
I need to purchase a new box, which I would like to optimize for good R
performance.
For the record, I will run Fedora Core 5 as and OS, and I wanted to know
if anyone has experience with how the following affects R performance:
- Is there a big advantage to having a 64-bit CPU over having a 32-bit?
- Does an Opteron offer any advantages over an Athlon, and if yes, does
it justify an

Parallel computing with the snow package: external file I/O possible?
...g the snow and rgenoud
packages. The function I want to run in task-parallel fashion across
multiple machines is one that pre- and post-processes data and runs an
external model code. My problem is that external file I/O is happening
only in the master node and not in the slaves. I have followed Jasjeet
Sekhon's suggestion to test the cluster setup, and that is fine:
> library(snow)
>
> #pick two machines
> cl <- makeCluster(c("moab","escalante"))
>
> clusterCall(cl, sin, 2)
> The output should be:

Var.calc in Match()
Does anyone else find that using the Var.calc option (for
heteroscedasticity consistent std. errors) in Match() (from the
Matching library) slows down computation of the matching estimator by
a lot?
I don't really understand why when I use this option it slows down so
much, but for me it does significantly. I want to use the
heteroscedasticity consistent std. errors in my project, but as long

multinomial logistic regression with equality constraints?
I'm interested in doing multinomial logistic regression with equality
constraints on some of the parameter values. For example, with
categorical outcomes Y_1 (baseline), Y_2, and Y_3, and covariates X_1
and X_2, I might want to impose the equality constraint that
\beta_{2,1} = \beta_{3,2}
that is, that the effect of X_1 on the logit of Y_2 is the same as the
effect of X_2 on the

genoud problem
Hi R users,
"genoud" function of "rgenoud" package will optimize my function. If
opt = genoud(fn,2,max=TRUE,starting.value=c(1,10),........)
opt$value will give the optimized value of the function, "fn". My
problem is from the same opt, can I get the value of the function at the
initial parameter values? I need the initial value of the function for

Parallel computing in R for dummies--how to optimize an external model?
I am trying to use the optimizing function genoud() with the snow
package on a couple of i686 machines running Redhat Linux WS4 . I don't
know anything about PVM or MPI, so I just followed the directions in
snow and rgenoud for the simplest method and started a socket cluster.
My function fn for genoud involves updating an input file for a separate
numerical model with the latest parameter

Kolmogorov-Smirnoff test
I am trying to determine whether two samples are identical or not. I'm
aware that somebody can use the Kolmogorov-Smirnoff test to compare
empirical distributions, but since my samples have ties I'm not sure if
I'm getting the right p-values for the comparison. Can the
Kolmogorov-Smirnoff test be adjusted for the case when ties exists and
are there any functions that already

Rounding parameter values in genoud(), Rgenoud package
I would like to limit the significant figures of the calibrated
parameters determined by genoud() in the Rgenoud package. Below is some
example output, where column 1 is model run number, columns 2-7 are the
parameter values, and columns 8-12 are model fit statistics. I would
like genoud to internally limit parameters to 4 decimal places as shown
in this output. It is clear that the function is

propensity score adjustment using R
Hi all,
i am looking to built a simple example of a very basic propensity
score adjustment, just using the estimated propensity scores as
inverse probability weights (respectively 1-estimated weights for the
non-treated). As far as i understood, MLE predictions of a logit model
can directly be used as to estimates of the propensity score.

number of matches when using Match()
To anyone who uses the Match() function in the Matching library...
How do you go about deciding how many matches you will use? With my
data, my standard errors generally get smaller if I use more matches.
Speaking of standard errors, when correcting for heteroscedasticity,
how many matches do you use (this is the Var.cal option). It seems to
me that it might make sense to use the same number

R on Linux/Opteron?
Dear R-help:
Has anyone tried using R on the the AMD Opteron in either 64- or 32-bit
mode? If so, any good/bad experiences, comments, etc? We are considering
getting this hardware, and would like to know if R can run smoothly on such
a beast. Any comment much appreciated.
Best,
