...error, but I am sure there are some better options. I want to avoid doing silly things like overwriting a local object by running a piece of example code that happens to have the same variable name! I looked in R-intro, but the information there is pretty basic. Any ideas?

Are there any R packages that could be used to generate random data given a set of parameters? Or, if not a package, how would one generate such data? What I would like to do is simulate some sample data for a regression model given a set of population covariances and distribution parameters to be used in a MC simulation. Thanks for any tips.

A short function I wrote for the purpose of evaluating scales made up of a number of questionnaire items. It provides Cronbach's Alpha, both unstandardized and based on standardized items. It also provides item statistics which include item-total correlations (corrected) and item-removed alpha. Thought some of you might find it useful. I would also appreciate any programming tips or

Hello all, To anyone who is interested, I'm trying to learn a bit more about developing applications in R with user interfaces. I've been playing around with gWidgets to develop a model building interface. I'd appreciate any comments, suggestions, or guidance on how to better structure my R code and organize the programming task. In addition, any suggestions for features and

Does anyone know of code to conduct hierarchical (that is, multi-level) models using R. Beyond simply requiring a nested design, I want to model explicitly the covariance between levels as is done in such multi-level modeling software as HLM or MLwin and discussed in Goldestein (1999) available online at http://www.arnoldpublishers.com/support/goldstein.htm (a nice and free resource for anyone

Hello, I have a question about setting up a multi-level model in NLME. I have the P&B book, but I am still having trouble specifying the model. I am using the most recent version of NLME on R 1.3.0. I was referred to NLME after a previous query on multi-level models. Yet, I think part of my confusion is that I do not have a mixed model as far as I can see. I have random effects nested

Hello Everyone, Just a note to inquire about the status of the "official" RWin release. I downloaded the binaries from CRAN using the link provided by Guido Masarotto <http://sirio.stat.unipd.it/RWin> soon after they appeared on CRAN. However, following R help, it seems that there are some problems with that compilation, particularly related to GRID and Lattice. Sure enough, I

I am trying to install Rpy to test it out as an R interface for a project that I am working on. However, I get the following error. Any clues as to what might be going on? I have alo tried RSPython, but I gave up due to errors. RSPython segfaults when started from R and gives an error message I can;t remember from python. Thanks, Brett >>> import rpy Traceback (most recent call

Hello all, I have a large database (~100MB in 13 relational files) that made its way to me in two formats. The files were sent in both SAS xport and STATA, thanks, I am told, to stat-transfer. The two files, ostensibly, contain the same data, just in different formats. My goal: Move these files to MySQl without the help of SAS or STATA (which I do not have). The tools I am using are: 1.

Thanks to Brian Ripley for the time and effort put into developing the factanal package for R. I have found it very useful. However, in trying to replicate some results from previous research, I have run into the need for a couple of extensions and was wondering if they might find their way into future implementations. 1. Though maximum likelihood estimates might be more rigorous and

Hi all, I am trying to teach myself to use and program R (How else do you do it? lol) Anyway, I wrote a piece of code to compute coefficent alpha for a scale. As I am neither a statistician nor a programmer, I wanted people's feedback. The code appears to work (Win 95 with R 1.0.1) and I have verified my result with SPSS and it was correct (much to my astonishment!). Nonetheless, I am
