Full_Name: Jerry W. Lewis Version: 2.7.0 OS: Windows XP Professional Submission from: (NULL) (198.180.131.16) If you are saying that there is no need to solve for the noncentrality parameter, please justify this amazing assertion. If you are saying that this need is already adequately addressed in R, then please enlighten me.

Dear List: The square of the noncentral t-statistic with noncentrality parameter \delta is a noncentral F with noncentrality parameter \lambda=\delta^2. So, t^2_{\nu,\delta} = F_{1,\nu,\lambda=\delta^2}. Consequently, it should follow that t^2_{1-\alpha/2,\nu,\delta} = f_{1-alpha,1,\vu,\lambda=\delta^2}. However, this is not what i...

Full_Name: Version: 1.9.0 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (134.126.93.191) I believe the noncentrality parameter, lambda, in power.anova.test is incorrect. The noncentrality paramter is defined as lambda <- (groups - 1) * n * (between.var/within.var). The n should not be there. The function pf defines the noncentrality parameter as the sum of squares of the means. Therefore, the noncentrality...

...at doing simulations for whatever reason(s). I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me on the differences in the memory usage/allocation (preferably in layman's terms!). The reason I ask this is because of a simulation I am trying to run. In it, I need to use the pt( ) function with a noncentrality argument. The pt( ) function in S-Plus does not allow for a noncentral parameter, so I need to use R. This is fine, but for some reason, R is taking a huge amount of time, but doing the same thing in S-Plus (without the noncentral parameter in pt( )) does not take much time at all. So, m...

Hi everyone. I have a problem that I have been unable to determine either the best way to proceed and why the methods I'm trying to use sometimes fail. I'm using the pf() function in an optimization function to find a noncentrality parameter that leads to a specific value at a specified quantile. My goal is to have a general function that returns the noncentrality parameter that leads to a given value at a defined quantile. For example, with 5 and 200 degrees of freedom, what noncentrality parameter has at its .975 qua...

Hello I could not find whether there is any R-function that implements the inverse of a noncentral Beta. Could someone out there tell me where I can find it? Or how to implement it? Many thanks Ed [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I do not understand, from a PCA point of view, the option center=F of prcomp() According to the help page, the calculation in prcomp() "is done by a singular value decomposition of the (centered and possibly scaled) data matrix, not by using eigen on the covariance matrix" (as it's done by princomp()) . "This is generally the preferred method for numerical accuracy"

Hello all. It seems that the pf() function when used with noncentral parameters can behave badly at times. I've included some examples below, but what is happening is that with some combinations of df and ncp parameters, regardless of how large the quantile gets, the same probability value is returned. Upon first glance noncentral values greater than 200 may...

Hi there: I'd thought these two versions of noncentral t-distribution are essentially the same: > qqplot(rt(1000,df=20,ncp=3),qt(runif(1000),df=20,ncp=3)) But, the scales of the x-axis and the y-axis are quite different according to the QQ-plot. Did I make any mistakes somewhere? Thanks, Long ---------------------...

Error in besselI(x, nu, 1 + as.logical(expon.scaled)) : Non-numeric argument to mathematical function In addition: Warning message: NaNs produced in: sqrt(x = xx) I am also anticipating another problem in that depending on the definition of the noncentral chi-squared distribution used, the parameters I provide the optimiser to start with lambda and k, may not be acceptable as they are doubles as opposed to integers.

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...

Hi, I would like to know if there is a program written in R to get the CDF (cumulative distribution function) of a bivariate non-central chi-square distribution. Hope someone will reply.
