Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to specify the prevalence of events in logistic regression using lrm() from Design package? Linear Discriminant Analysis using lda() from MASS library has an argument "prior=" that we can use to specify the prevalent of events when the actual dataset being analyzed does not have a representative prevalence. How ca...

Hi Val, My fault - I assumed that the NA would be first in the result produced by "unique": mydat <- read.table(textConnection("Col1 Col2 col3 Z1 K1 K2 Z2 NA NA Z3 X1 NA Z4 Y1 W1"),header = TRUE,stringsAsFactors=FALSE) val23<-unique(unlist(mydat[,c("Col2","col3")])) napos<-which(is.na(val23)) preval<-data.frame(Col1=val23[-napos],

Hello Everyone, I was analysing big survey data using survey packages on RStudio. Survey package allows survey data analysis with the design effect.The survey package included functions for all other statistical analysis except two-proportion z tests. I was trying to calculate the difference in prevalence of Diabetes and Prediabetes between the year 2011 and 2017 (with 95%CI). I was able to calculate the weighted prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes in the Year 2011 and 2017 and just subtracted the prevalence of 2011 from the prevalence of 2017 to get the difference in prevalence. But I could not...

Sorry , I hit the send key accidentally here is my complete message. Thank you Jim and all, I got it. I have one more question on the original question What does this "[-1] " do? preval<-data.frame(Col1=unique(unlist(mydat[,c("Col2","col3")]))[-1], Col2=NA,col3=NA) mydat <- read.table(textConnection("Col1 Col2 col3 Z1 K1 K2 Z2

HI Jim and all, I want to put one more condition. Include col2 and col3 if they are not in col1. Here is the data mydat <- read.table(textConnection("Col1 Col2 col3 K2 X1 NA Z1 K1 K2 Z2 NA NA Z3 X1 NA Z4 Y1 W1"),header = TRUE,stringsAsFactors=FALSE) The desired out put would be Col1 Col2 col3 1 X1 0 0 2 K1 0 0 3 Y1 0 0 4 W1 0 0 6 K2 X1

hi Val, Your problem seems to be that the data are read in as a factor. The simplest way I can think of to get around this is: mydat <- read.table(textConnection("Col1 Col2 col3 Z1 K1 K2 Z2 NA NA Z3 X1 NA Z4 Y1 W1"),header = TRUE,stringsAsFactors=FALSE) preval<-data.frame(Col1=unique(unlist(mydat[,c("Col2","col3")]))[-1], Col2=NA,col3=NA) rbind(preval,mydat)

Jim has been exceedingly patient (and may well continue to be so), but this smells like "failure to launch". At what point will you start showing your (failed) attempts at solving your own problems so we can help you work on your specific weaknesses and become self-sufficient? -- Sent from my phone.

Dear All, I have a database of 200 observations named myD. In the dataframe there are a column named code (with codes varying from 1 to 77), a column named "prevalence" with some quantitative measurements are given and an column named Pr_mean, with no values. I would like to set a cycle to compute the average of prevalence values for each different code and store the averages under the empty field Pr_mean. This is what I wrote: # Set a cycle for (i in 1:n...

...authors who recomends the use of Cox regression as a substitute for Logistic regression (<a href="http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2288/3/21.pdf"> Barros AJD, Hirakata VN. BMCMedical Research Methodology, 2003; 3:21 </a>. The use of Cox regression permit the estimation of the prevalence rates rather than Odds ratios obtained by logistic regression analysis. Cox regression is used for time-to-event data. To obtain prevalence rates the time has to be constant. One of the problems of Cox regression is that the confidence intervals are overestimated. To correct this Barros & Hira...

Thank you Jim and all, I got it. I have one more question on the original question What does this "[-1] " do? preval<-data.frame(Col1=unique(unlist(mydat[,c("Col2","col3")]))[-1], Col2=NA,col3=NA) mydat <- read.table(textConnection("Col1 Col2 col3 Z1 K1 K2 Z2 NA NA Z3 X1 NA Z4 Y1 W1"),header = TRUE)

Hey everyone, I'm working on a contour plot depicting asymptomatic prevalence at varying durations of infectiousness and force of infection. I've been able to work everything out except for this one - my legend title keeps getting cut off. Here's what I have: filled.contour(x=seq(2,30,length.out=nrow(asym_matrix)), y=seq(1,2,length.out=ncol(asym_matrix)), asym_mat...

Hi all! I'm new to this forum so please excuse me if I don't conform perfectly to the protocols on this board! I'm trying to get an estimate of true prevalence based upon results from an imperfect test. I have various estimates of se/sp which could inform my priors (at least upper and lower limits even if with a uniform distribution) and found the following code on this website.. http://www.lancs.ac.uk/staff/diggle/prevalence_estimation.R/ (the folllowi...

Thank you Jim I wanted a final data frame after replacing the NA's to "0" x1 = rbind(unique(preval),mydat) x2 <- x1[is.na(x1)] <- 0 x2 but I got this, [1] 0 why I am getting this? On Sat, Feb 24, 2018 at 12:17 AM, Jim Lemon <drjimlemon at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Val, > Try this: > >

Hello R users, I am working with the GAM to inspect the effect of some factors (year, area) and continuous variables (length, depth, latitude and longitude) on the intensity and prevalence of the common parasite Anisakis. I would like introduce interaction in my models, both "continuous variables-continuous variables" and "continuous variables-factor".

Hi all, I am trying to produce a series of plots showing the prevalence of a condition, which is subject to censoring. In most cases the condition is temporary and resolves with time. I would like to use the method of Pepe et al Stat Med 1991; 413-421 - essentially the prevalence is the Kaplan-Meier prob[having the condition at time t] - KM prob[recovery by time t] (al...
