Can someone please enlighten me as to why the following happens? > -2.7^8.6 [1] -5125.407 > p<- -2.7 > q<- 8.6 > p^q [1] NaN R seems perfectly able to calculate -2.7^8.6, but fails when the exact same values are assigned to variables and then the computation is repeated. Thanks in advance for any suggetsions. Kris.

Hi, I am new to using R for Time series analysis. I was wondering if there are any functions that can convert ARMA or ARIMA time series into their corresponding AR or MA time series representations (by calculating the corresponding AR or MA coefficients). Thanks a lot Kris.

Hello, I am trying to call a FORTRAN subroutine from R. The Fortran code is @: http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/apstat/206 It performs a bivariate isotonic regression on a rectangular grid (m X n) matrix. I used the g77 compiler and successfully created a dll file and it also loads successfully from R. But somehow the programs fails to run properly. (I do get the correct result when I compile the

Hi all, I am a biostatistician and I have developed my own ranking system for clinical data. I would like to test the efficiency of it w.r.t. to other ranking systems. I would like to simulate the data and after assigning ranks to my observed scores(after neglecting dropouts), observe the type I error. If I want to do a Kruuskal Wallis type of test, what test statistic should I use to test for a

Hello I am trying to evaluate an Incomplete gamma function in R. Library Zipfr gives the Igamma function. From Mathematica, I have: "Gamma[a, z] is the incomplete gamma function." In[16]: Gamma[9,11.1] Out[16]: 9000.5 Trying the same in R, I get > Igamma(9,11.1) [1] 31319.5 OR > Igamma(11.1,9) [1] 1300998 I know I have to understand the theory and the math behind it rather
