...ls/GETVERSION to fix up this problem. It removes the trailing M or S and removes anything up to an including a colon, so it reports the highest version in the range. If there are still non-digits in there it makes the version string "0" (not useful, but doesn't kill the build with a noninformative error message). I ran into another problem with the trailing 'M' from svnversion when doing 'make rinstaller' in R_HOME/src/gnuwin32: E:\R\R-svn\r-devel\src\gnuwin32\installer>type R-2.8.0dev.log Inno Setup 5 Command-Line Compiler ...

Life times of one brand of light bulb were observed. Life hours of nine light bulbs were 898, 720, 354, 405, 620, 54, 229, 306, 890. There were three more light bulbs that were still burning after 1000 hours. It is common to assume the life time of a light bulb follows an exponential distribution. With the observed data find the MLE of the parameter of the exponential distribution with EM

Hi all. Are there any R functions around that do quick logistic regression with a Gaussian prior distribution on the coefficients? I just want posterior mode, not MCMC. (I'm using it as a step within an iterative imputation algorithm.) This isn't hard to do: each step of a glm iteration simply linearizes the derivative of the log-likelihood, and, at this point, essentially no

I am appealing to the general collective wisdom of this list in respect of a statistics (rather than R) question. This question comes to me from a friend who is a veterinary oncologist. In a study that she is writing up there were 73 cats who were treated with a drug called piroxicam. None of the cats were observed to be subject to vomiting prior to treatment; 12 of the cats were subject to
