Greetings! I suspect that there is an error in the code for the function ci.pd() in the Epi package. This function is for computing confidence intervals for a difference of proportions between two independent groups of 0/1 responses, and implements the Newcombe ("Nc") method and the Agrasti-Caffo "AC" method. I think there is an error in the computation for the Newcombe method. Specifically, where the code says # Put the data in the right form x1 <- aa; n1 <- aa+cc; p1 <- x1/n1 x2 <- bb; n2 <- bb+dd; p2 <- x2/n...

Dear R-help, I'm using prop.test() to compute a confidence interval for a proportion under R version 2.4.1, as in: prop.test(x = 340, n = 400)$conf [1] 0.8103309 0.8827749 I have two questions: 1) from the source code my understanding is that the confidence interval is computed according to Wilson, E.B. (1927) Probable inference, the law of succession, and statistical inference. J. Am.

Hello, Does anyone know which method from Newcombe (1998)* is implemented in prop.test for comparing two proportions? I would guess it is the method based on the Wilson score (for single proportion), with and without continuity correction for prop.test(..., correct=FALSE) and prop.test(..., correct=TRUE). These methods would correspond to no. 10 a...

Does ZFS support any type of remote mirroring? It seems at present my only two options to achieve this would be Sun Cluster or Availability Suite. I thought that this functionality was in the works, but I haven''t heard anything lately. Thanks!

Hello FLACers, I'm just getting started and am using the test suite as a beginning point. I have combined the stream encoder and decoder tests. The test encoder uses a 1024 array of integers (initialized 0-7 over and over again). I take this array and feed it into the encoder and save the resulting array from the write callback. I then feed that to the decoder and save the resulting array it

I'm hoping to use R for spatial analysis. In working through examples in Chapt. 4 of Applied Spatial Data Analysis with R I've come across the following error in trying to plot lines with the meuse data set. The text is verbatim from the book. > m.sl <- SpatialLines(list(Lines(list(Line(cc))))) Error in Lines(list(Line(cc))) : Single ID required What does "Single ID

Hi all, Presuming that my reply on r-help this morning was correct, attached is a patch file against the current svn trunk version of prop.test.Rd to add the references for the methods. Any corrections are welcome. Regards, Marc Schwartz

Hi all, just installed the nut package from apt on Ubuntu. Here's what I got. Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.3 Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.34 (2.4.3) USB communication driver 0.31 This APC device (051d:0003) is not (or perhaps not yet) supported by usbhid-ups. Please make sure you have an up-to-date version of NUT. If this does not fix the problem, try running the

Preparing a paper for a medical journal. Using the prop.test() function in R (v2.4.0) to compare two groups' response to data like the following. A sample of 100 individuals from Population I, 18 with positive readings from a certain test, vs. A sample of 148 individuals from Population II, 61 with positive readings. Results look like this: R version 2.4.0 Patched (2006-11-25

It would be very nice to be able to rsync the raw data content of, e.g., a non-mounted disk partition, particularly in combination with --inplace. Our reality: several dual-boot machines running Windows during the day and Linux at night, during backups. Windows is very tedious and iffy to re-reinstall without a raw disk image to start from. Disks fail, and the ensuing downtime must be

In https://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier , mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir namespace { prefix = INBOX. separator = . inbox = yes } ... is wrong. Apparently it should be ... mail_location = maildir:~/INBOX ...which at least seemed to work, although (by that time?) I wound up re-downloading all mail.

More notes about diskrsync <https://github.com/dop251/diskrsync> : (0) It seems to work well and efficiently. The README.md now explains how to install it and it's a lot easier than the script I included in my last note would seem to indicate. (I didn't and still don't know Go.) (1) Effectively, inherently, and non-optionally, diskrsync has rsync's --inplace feature. IOW,

For many years I've been running ssh reverse tunnels on portable Linux, OpenWRT, Android etc. hosts so they can be accessed from a server whose IP is stable (I call such a server a "nexus host"). Increasingly there's a problem with brute force attacks on the nexus host's tunnel ports. The attack is forwarded to the portable tunneling host, where it fails, but it chews up

There have been addons to rsync in the past to do that but rsync really isn't the correct tool for the job. Neither is dd. The right tool is something that understands the filesystem within the block device such as ntfsclone (what I use) or partimage (if you have ever used Clonezilla this is what it uses). These will know how to skip all the empty parts of the filesystem and will still be

I was reading the release notes for 3.0beta1, which says this: 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account' if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0 rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no current work around to re-establish
