I believe this may be more related to analysis than it is to R, per se. Suppose I have the following function that I wish to integrate: ff <- function(x) pnorm((x - m)/sigma) * dnorm(x, observed, sigma) Then, given the parameters: mu <- 300 sigma <- 50 m <- 250 target <- 200 sigma_i <- 50 I can use the function integrate as: > integrate(ff, lower= -Inf, upper=target)

Hello! I would like to use lmer() to fit data, which are some estimates and their standard errors i.e kind of a "meta" analysis. I wonder if weights argument is the right one to use to include uncertainty (standard errors) of "data" into the model. I would like to use lmer(), since I would like to have a "freedom" in modeling, if this is at all possible. For

...ia". To achieve the results I am applying a* two-dimensional Gaussian fit* on an LST raster of 1 km spatial resolution but I am facing two errors in the following code. library(raster) LST <- raster("D:/Celsius_Day/MOD_01.tif") gaussian2d <- function(x, y, mu_x, mu_y, sigma_x, sigma_y, amp) { exp(-((x - mu_x)^2/(2*sigma_x^2) + (y - mu_y)^2/(2*sigma_y^2)))*amp } #define a function for the sum of squared errors between the data and the Gaussian sse <- function(p) { mu_x <- p mu_y <- p sigma_x <- p sigma_y <- p amp <- p[5] fitted <- gaussian2d(x, y, mu_x, mu...

dear R experts---sorry, second question of the day. I want to match some moments. I am writing my own code---I have exactly as many moment conditions as parameters, and I am leary of having to learn the magic of GMM weighting matrices (if I was to introduce more). the process sounds easy conceptually. (Seen it in seminars many times, so how hard could it possibly be?...me thinks) first

Hi all, I'm trying to define and log-likelihood function to work with MLE. There will be parameters like mu_i, sigma_i, tau_i, ro_i, for i between 1 to 24. Instead of listing all the parameters, one by one in the function definition, is there a neat way to do it in R ? The example is as follows: ll<- function(mu1=-0.5,b=1.2,tau_1=0.5,sigma_1=0.5,ro_1=0.7) { if (tau1>0 &&

Hello, I am using R2.5 under Windows. Looks like the following statement vars <- (obj$sigma^2)*vw in getVarCov.gls method (nlme package) needs to be replaced with: vars <- (obj$sigma*vw)^2 With best regards Andrzej Galecki Douglas Bates wrote: >I'm not sure when the getVarCov.gls method was written or by whom.

Hi, I'm trying to estimate the parameters of a state space model of the following form measurement eq: z_t = a + b*y_t + eps_t transition eq y_t+h = (I -exp(-hL))theta + exp(-hL)y_t+ eta_{t+h}. The problem is that the distribution of the innovations of the transition equation depend on the previous value of the state variable. To be exact: y_t|y_{t-1} ~N(mu, Q_t) where Q is a diagonal

Hello, I come from a non statistics background, but R is available to me, and I needed to test an implementation of smoothing spline that I have written in c++, so I would like to match the results with R (for my unit tests). I am following Smoothing Splines, D.G. Pollock (available online) where we have a list of points (xi, yi), the yi points are random such that: y_i = f(x_i) + e_i

Hi! I am using the NLME package for R to modeling glucose-insuline response with Bergman's model, very similar to the example in the documentation for the NLME package. My question concerns the model for the residuals. I use a proportional model , Var(e_{ij})=(sigma_g*G(t))^2 for the glucose response and Var(e_{ij})=(sigma_i * I(t))^2 for the insulin response. Hence I have a varPower model,

This is not an R question but if anyone can help me, it's much appreciated. Suppose I have a series ( stationary ) y_t and a series x_t ( stationary )and x_t has variance sigma^2_x and epsilon is normal (0, sigma^2_epsilon ) and the two series have the relation y_t = Beta*x_t + epsilon My question is if there are particular values that sigma^2_x and sigma^2_epsilon have to take in
