I fit my CDF to sum of exponentials and now I want to take the numerical derivative of this function to obtain probability density.I will really appreciate your help reagrding the error messages I am getting which I don't understand. * * > fitterma <- function(xtime) { a <- -0.09144115 b <- -0.01335756 c <- -2.368057 d <- -0.00600052

Hello: In the example below (or for a censored data) using survfit.coxph, can anyone point me to a link or a pdf as to how the probabilities appearing in bold under "summary(pred$surv)" are calculated? Do these represent acumulative probability distribution in time (not including censored time)? Thanks very much, parmee *fit <- coxph(Surv(futime, fustat) ~ age, data = ovarian)*

Hello All, Does anyone know why length(fit1$time) < length(fit2$n) in survfit.coxph output? Why is the predicted time length is not the same as the number of samples (n)? I tried: example(survfit.coxph). Thanks, parmee > fit2$n [1] 241 > fit2$time [1] 0 31 32 60 61 152 153 174 273 277 362 365 499 517 518 547 [17] 566 638 700 760 791

Hello All: I have defined the following function (fitterma as a sum of exponentials) that best fits my cumulative distribution. I am also attaching the "xtime" values that I have. I want to try two things as indicated below and am experiencing problems. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Best, Parmee ----------------------- *fitterma <- function(xtime) { * *a <-

Hey! Can anyone help me coding in R a normalized kernel matrix. Basically, I want K(x,y)/sqrt(*K*(*x, x*)*K*(*y, y*)) Anyone has a piece of code that you could share? Many thanks, Parmee [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I have noticed a bug with LSSVM implementation in R. It could be a bug with the LSSVM itself that causes this problem. I thought I should post this message to see if anyone else is familiar with this problem and explain why the result is different for odd and even number of cases. Once the hyperplane is found using LSSVM, the prediction results vary when you predict odd or even number of
