Dear all, I am not sure if this mail is for R-help or should be sent to R-devel instead, and therefore post to both. While using nlrob from package 'robustbase', I ran into the following problem: For psi-functions that can become zero (e.g. psi.bisquare), weights in the internal call to nls can become zero. Example: d <- data.frame(x=1:5,y=c(2,3,5,10,9)) d.nlrob <-

I'm interested in doing multinomial logistic regression with equality constraints on some of the parameter values. For example, with categorical outcomes Y_1 (baseline), Y_2, and Y_3, and covariates X_1 and X_2, I might want to impose the equality constraint that \beta_{2,1} = \beta_{3,2} that is, that the effect of X_1 on the logit of Y_2 is the same as the effect of X_2 on the

Hello, I've been searching for a method for identify outliers for quite some time now. The complication is that I cannot assume that my data is normally distributed nor symmetrical (i.e. some distributions might have one longer tail) so I have not been able to find any good tests. The Walsh's Test (http://www.statistics4u.info/ fundsta...liertest.html#), as I understand assumes that the
