...redibly useful software! Now the bad news: The attached script (or the original version with real data) will reliably crash R on my machine. I am using: R version: either 2.2.1 or 2.3.1 Windows 2000 Professional, Service Pack 4 512 MB of RAM On my machine the script will crash R on line 42 [ probits21 <- lapply(... ]. In both this script and the "real" one, memory.size() indicates that R is about 512 MB just before executing the command that crashes it. In other contexts, R has been able to allocate virtual memory on this computer without any trouble. Thanks again for al...

Dear all, I have a very simple set of data and I would like to analyze them with probit analysis. dose event trial 0.0 3 15 1.1 4 15 1.3 4 15 2.0 3 15 2.2 5 15 2.8 4 15 3.7 5 15 3.9 9 15 4.4 8 15 4.8 11 15 5.9 12 15 6.8 13 15 The dose should be transformed with log10(). I use glm(y ~ log10(dose), family=binomial(link=probit)) to do probit analysis, however, I have to exclude the

hi list! i'm plotting a probit plot .On x axis i have value of a statistical variable. on y axis the corresponding normalized representation. I have this code plot(vals,perc,axes=F,col="red",pch=19,cex=0.25) probit.scale.values <- c(0,0.001,0.01,0.05,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8,0.9,0.95,0.99,0.999,1) probit.scale.at <- qnorm(probit.scale.values)

Hello, all. I'm investigating the rate at which skeletal joint surfaces pass through a series of ordered stages (changes in morphology). Current statistical methods in this type of research use various logit or probit regression techniques (e.g., proportional odds logit/probit, forward/backward continuation ratio, or restricted/unrestricted cumulative probit). Data typically include the

Hi, I have used the heckit function in micEcon. Now I would like to evaluate the fit of the probit part of the model but when I enter AIC(sk$probit) I get this error Error in logLik(object) : no applicable method for "logLik" How can I then get the AIC for this model? Side question: If you know - from the top of your head - some link to readings dealing with evaluating the

R users, I got a problem to analyze with probit model. What package contains the algorithm to do probit model.

Hello All, I'm trying to run a multinomial probit on a dataset with 28 data points and five levels (0,1,2,3,4) in the latent choice involving response variable. I downloaded the latest mnp package to run the regression. It starts the calculation and then crashes the rpogram. I wish I could give the error message but it literally shuts down R without a warning. I'm using the R

Hi, I am a stata user trying to transition to R. Typically I compute marginal effects plots for (example) probit models by drawing simulated betas by using the coefficient/standard error estimates after I run a probit model. I then use these simulated betas to compute first difference marginal effects. My question is, can I do this in R? Specifically, I was wondering if anyone knows how R

Hi, I'm trying to make a new S4 object with a slot for a "link-glm" object. R doesn't like me have a slot of class "link-glm" > class(make.link("probit")) [1] "link-glm" > setClass("a",representation(item="link-glm")) [1] "a" Warning message: undefined slot classes in definition of "a": item(class

I have had some weird results using the optim() function. I wrote a probit likelihood and wanted to run it with optim() with simulated data. I did not include a gradient at first and found that optim() would not even iterate using BFGS and would only occasionally work using SANN. I programmed in the gradient and it iterates fine but the estimates it returns are wrong. The simulated data work

Hello. I have yet to receive a response to my previous post, so I may have done a poor job asking the question. So, here is the general question: how can I run a run a multivariate (more than one non-independent, response variables) ordered probit regression model? I've had success doing this in the univariate case using the vglm() function in the VGAM package. For example:

Hi - I am fitting a probit model using glm(), and the deviance and residual degrees of freedom are different depending on whether I use a binary response vector of length 80 or a two-column matrix response (10 rows) with the number of success and failures in each column. I would think that these would be just two different ways of specifying the same model, but this does not appear to be the case.

Dear R helpers, I need to estimate a probit model with box constraints placed on several of the model parameters. I have the following two questions: 1) How are the standard errors calclulated in glm (family=binomial(link="probit")? I ran a typical probit model using the glm probit link and the nlminb function with my own coding of the loglikehood, separately. As nlminb does not

Hello, I want to start testing using the MNP probit function in stead of the lrm function in my current experiment. I have one dependant label and two independent varaibles. The lrm is simple model <- lrm(label ~ val1 + val2) I tried the same thing with the mnp function and got an error that I don't understand model <- mnp(label ~ val1 + val2) I get back an immediate error that

Hello, I am getting some results from my Probit estimation in R that are in the opposite direction of what I hypothesized. In sas, the default is probability that y=0 (instead of 1) so one needs to type the word "descending" to get P(y=1). Is the same true for R? Is the default set to P(0)? Thank you in advance.

If I wanted to fit a logit model and account for clustering of observations, I would do something like: library(Design) f <- lrm(Y1 ~ X1 + X2, x=TRUE, y=TRUE, data=d) g <- robcov(f, d$st.year) What would I do if I wanted to do the same thing with a probit model? ?robcov says the input model must come from the Design package, but the Design package appears not to do probit? Thanks very

Hello, I'm working on the multiple categorical data (5-points scale) using linear mixed effect model and wondering if anyone knows about or works on the linear mixed effect model with ordered logit or probit link. I found that the "lmer" function in R is very flexible and supports various models, but not ordered logit/probit models. I may conduct my analysis by turning my DVs

Dear All, I have some questions about probit regressions. I saw a nice introduction at http://bit.ly/bU9xL5 and I mainly have two questions. (1) The first is almost about data manipulation.
