Hi All, Is the definition and/or algorithm for the 'Hinges' (upper and lower) in Boxplot available somewhere online? I would like to know a little more than what is described in boxplot.stats. In particular I am trying to understand exactly how it differs from the default (Type 7) of the quantile function. Many thanks, Fredrik

If this is not the proper list for this type of question, please direct me to the correct one and I'll post similar queries there in the future. I've been happily using rc3 since shortly after its release and slowly converting the music collection on my PC from mp3 to ogg. I've now run into a problem that has me stumped. On the 2nd track of The Breeders _Last Splash_ album, the

...mp;Ripley (p.187 MASS 4th) and compare the scaled residual deviance with the appropriate F distribution. Below I have included a sample output from one model. And my concern is if the residual deviance should be divided by the dispersion parameter. Many thanks for any insight or comments. Fredrik Odegaard Null Deviance: 357.12 on 394 d.f. Residual Deviance: 333.51 on 391 d.f. Dispersion parameter: .5551945 Pearson X^2: 217.0827

Hi All, could someone shed some light on what the difference between the estimated dispersion parameter that is supplied with the GLM function and the one that the 'gamma.dispersion( )' function in the MASS library gives? And is there consensus for which estimated value to use? It seems that the dispersion parameter that comes with the summary command for a GLM with a Gamma dist. is

Hi all. I found some references to a problem similar to mine in the archives, but none of the solutions posed there worked, so I'm left to ask again. I'm running Debian 2.2r5, libc6, and as far as I know all other necessary libraries for compilation. libao and libogg compile and install fine, but when I try run ./configure for libvorbis, it fails and says it can't find libogg.
