I am having trouble generating a graph. I want to know the % of respondents who answered that they "strongly agree" or "agree" the "America owes R's ethnic group a better chance" (BTTRCHNC) and I want to organize it by racial group (RACESHRT). "BTTRCHNC" is organized ordinally from 1 through 5 with 1=Strongly Agree, 5=Strongly Disagree "RACESHRT" is ordinally organized from 1 through 5 where each number represents a racial group category, i.e. white, black, Asian, etc. Any hints for how to proceed?...

WinXP, R-2.9.1 LS., I have been trying to solve a (for me) tricky issue. No matter what I've tried, I just can't find a way to do this. This is the issue: I have a text file (ansi text) "titles.txt" with lines of text; here is an example of such a file: >>>>> a brief history of polio vaccines anti-vaccination movements and their interpretations early warning

suppose something like probability(passing test) is driven by 1. fixed effects -- sex 2. district effects - district funding 3. school effects - neighborhood income, racial composition, % two parent families, ... 4. class effects - teacher quality measurement, 5. individual random effects - IQ. how would such a model be setup in lmer? I can't find much discussion on the web. Is there extended documentation somewhere on lmer? Richard Palmer Home...

I came across the package 'ineq' that computes a variety of inequality measures (e.g. gini, theil etc). I want to compute the Theil index (racial segregation) and decompose the total into sub-components (by geog levels). I think the package doesn't report the decomposition (correct me if I'm wrong). Just wonder is that available elsewhere? K.

I am wanting to plot a 95% confidence band using segplot, yet I am wanting to have groups. For example if I have males and females, and then I have them in different races, I want the racial groups in different panels. I have this minor code, completely made up but gets at what I am wanting, 4 random samples and 4 samples of confidence, I know how to get A & B into one panel and C&D in to another but how do I get the x axis to label them properly and have it categorized as two....

Hi, I am trying a linear regression model where the dependent variable is the size of the heart corrected for the patient's height and weight. This is labelled as LAVI. The independent variables are race (european or non-eurpoean), age, sex (male or female) of the patient and whether they have diabetes and high blood pressure. sample size 2000 patients selected from a community. when I

...e pretty easy for nonstatisticians to understand. One can look and see the effect of a variable x on people of different races. But the random effect is a bit hard to understand. Since the Race variable is dichotomous, My aim was to see if the variance of the random effect is different for the 2 racial categories. Here are the estimates: Random effects: Groups Name Variance Std.Dev. Corr PLACE RACE_ALLWhite 0.0095429 0.097688 RACE_ALLNonwhite 0.1286597 0.358692 1.000 I can't quite grasp what the correlation means. I BELIEVE the variance values ind...

...ritique in the West dominated by Jewish intellectual and political movements. . . . The difference from the Soviet Union may well be that in white-minority America it will not be workers and Israelites who are favored, but non-whites and Israelites. Whites may dream that they are entering the post-racial utopia imagined by their erstwhile intellectual superiors. But it is quite possible that they are entering into a racial dystopia of unimaginable cruelty in which whites will be systematically excluded in favor of the new elites recruited from the soon-to-be majority. It's happened before. Fau...

Hello everyone, A long time ago, I posted the Stanford Best Practices and I''ve gone through and updated it today. I''d like to have people go through it and see if we can strip out some Stanford specific stuff and tag this as an official best practice. I think an official best practice will be important as more and more people consider making shareable modules, etc (mostly
