Hello, I have a simple class that looks like: setClass("statisticInfo", representation( max = "numeric", min = "numeric", beg = "numeric", current = "numeric", avg = "numeric", obs...

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 statistical computing. I see that as doing st...

Hi there, Suppose mu is constant, and error is normally distributed with mean 0 and fixed variance s. I need to find a statistics that: Y_i = mu + beta1* I1_i beta2*I2_i + beta3*I1_i*I2_i + +error, where I_i is 1 Y_i is from group A, and 0 if Y_i is from group B. It is large when beta1=beta2=0 It is small when beta1 and/or beta2 is not equal to 0 How can I find it by R? Thank you very much for your time. Fay

Hi all, I apologize for this off-topic question but I need your help -- I know there are lots of experts here. As a lover and student of statistics, I am thinking of building a tree of various branches of statistics and keeping track of the greatest historical inventions/discoveries in statistics and the latest development of each branch. The goal is to understand in what context did the great inventions come out and then try to follow the...

Question: How can I get access to the bias value of a boot statistic? Details: Boot function: boot(data, statistic, R, sim="ordinary", stype="i", strata=rep(1,n), L=NULL, m=0, weights=NULL, ran.gen=function(d, p) d, mle=NULL, ...) When I create an object, containing the bootstrap statistic (object <- boot (....))I ca...

Hi, Could anyone provide the formula of the statistics which the wilcox.test used for the two-sample rank-sum test? I got some statistics of 0 values, but it is impossible to have 0 "rank-sum". Does the function use the Mann-Whitney U test statistics? Thanks. Ting-Yuan Liu

Hi, there I am quite sure there is an easy answer to this, but I am unsure how to gather a bunch of t-statistics in an organized format. I am trying to generate a list of t-statistics for a randomization routine. If I try to collect a bunch of t-statistics from a run, this is what happens: > M <- 10 ; simt <- NULL > for(i in 1:M) + { + perm<-sample(site,replace=F) + + permute<...

I am looking for online courses to learn Spatial Statistics using R. Statistics.com is offering an online course in December on the same topic but that schedule doesn't suit mine. Are there any other similar modes for learning spatial statistics using R??? Can someone please advice??? Thank you. Ravi -- View this message in context: http://r.7896...

I am new to using R and would appreciate some advice on which books to start with to get up to speed on using R. My Background: 1-C# programmer. 2-Programmed directly using IMSL (Now Visual Numerics). 3- Used in past SPSS and Statistica. I put together a list but would like to pick the "best of" and avoid redundancy. Any suggestions on these books would be helpful (i.e. too much overlap, porly written etc?)

I am attempting to use package boot to summarize and compare the performance of three models. I'm using R 2.13.0 in a Win32 environment. My statistic function returns a vector of 6 values, 3 of which are error rates for different models, and 3 are pairwise differences between those error rates. It looks like: multiEst<-function(dat,i) { .... c(E1,E2,E3,E2-E1,E3-E1,E3-E2); } then I call boot (using R=4 for simplicity of descriptio...

Hi, In the boot package, the original statistic is simply the statistic function evaluated on the original data (called t0). However, in Harrell et al 1996 "Multivariable prognostic models..." Stats Med vol 15, pp. 361--387, it is different (p. 372): The statistic function evaluated on the original data is called "D_app" (...

I'm looking for a book for someone completely ignorant of statistics who wishes to learn both statistics and R.

Do these books ha...
