The Program runs from May 24th to June 1st, 2012.This year?s Program focuses on the theory and practice of linear models and mixed [or multilevel] models, as they are applied to hierarchical and longitudinal data. Please see the description below for more information. Please note that t...

This is a very fascinating discussion topic. I find I run into some fundamental differences in interpretation of the phrase "statistical computing". I think of it as writing programs or functions, such as R or packages in R, and of understanding the numerical analysis behind these functions. I exclude USING computer programs, such as R, for data analysis from my definition of

Dear R-help, I was recently wanting to use GEE with the negative binomial "family". It seems that this is lacking in the otherwise excellent implementations of the GEE methodology ( packages: gee, yags, geepack). I would have thought it a simple step to allow the creation of a family, i.e providing the link function (log mu) and the variance function (mu + mu^2/theta) , assuming theta

Hi, I'm currently using biglm package to compute GLM outputs on a very large dataset. But no function computes standard erros of predictions. I look in what is done in R, namely in the function predict.glm.R in stats package. In this function, we call predict.lm to compute the standard errors (line 51). The code of predict.lm (in lm.R) is very hard to understand. I wonder if there is any

We have SuSE SLES9 servers with LDAP master/slave replication (24 replications/BDC's) All working fine -joining domain etc. The problem I am having is PC's at remote sites (BDC) with a local replica (OpenLDAP) periodically change the sambaNTPassword/sambaLMPassword on there own and write to the local LDAP server and do NOT follow the referral to the master. I have written scripts to

Hi, I am trying to use dovecot with my virtual-hosting setup. I have all users in LDAP like uid=user,dc=domain.tld,o=myorganization for the user with the mail-address user at domain.tld. This is also the username that user should use for login, but it is nowhere in the ldap-db in this form together, just user and domain at their own places. Is it possible to authenticate with
