My question is that I am not sure when to use ?factor? for a variable. In my example, Grade, sex, teaching method are categorial variables cod...

Dear R-users, Is there a function in R that classifies data in more than 2 groups using logistic regression/classification? I want to compare the c-indices of earlier research (lrm, binary response variables) with new c-indices obtained from 'multiple' (more response variables) logistic regression. Best regards, Stephanie Delalieux Department Biosystems M?-BIORES Group of Geomatics

Dear R-Users, given you have been teaching R to students (grad level, mainly social science background, no previous programming experience, 80% know SPSS), what are your experiences concerning the style of teaching? Do you prefer to stand in front of the class like in "normal" lectures and you show them slides? Or do you you expla...

Dear Samba list, I have an issue with what seems to be group permissions, when using a stand-alone Samba file server. I have a directory where files are meant to be writable to a group of users. The permissions on Linux are: root# ls -ld /users/misc/teaching /users/misc/teaching/* drwxrws--- 2 teaching csos 4096 May 15 08:47 /users/misc/teaching -rw-rw---- 1 teaching csos 17 May 15 08:23 /users/misc/teaching/test.txt so the users in that group: root# grep csos /etc/group csos:*:113:bruce,mike,psz can do anything to the files: read, write,...

Hi everyone I am teaching a lecture on hardware/software codesign which, though not a dedicated compiler course, covers quite a bit of compiler related contents (general introduction, intermediate code, code generation). I'm currently considering replacing and/or extending this compiler related lecture parts with an in...

Hi R People: I'm teaching a statistical computing class using R starting next week (yay!) and I have an opinion type question, please. I'm old school and use "<-" in an assignment. However, I'm starting to see the "=" in the literature. Which should I use or does it matter, please? Thanks...

Hi folks, I''m working with a local high school in the Portland, OR area on the subject of computer science curriculum. We are thinking of introducing a class in web development and I think Rails would be a perfect vehicle. I''ve done some searching on the web but haven''t found any suggestion of HS curriculum for Rails. Any pointers or suggestions? Thanks, ---

Dear R People: I will be teaching an undergraduate Design of Experiments class in the Spring Semester. It will be very much an applied course. My question, please: has anyone used R for a course like this, please? I've tried Rcmdr for a regression course and just plain command line for a time series course. Should I use Rc...

Hi, Trying to setup a logistic regression model. (Something new to me. I usually use SVM.) The person explaining the concept explained to me that I can include a "group" variable so that the probabilities predicted by the model will be "per group" Does this make sense to anyone? If so, how would I implement this? Using the glm or lrm function? Thanks! -N

Hi all, I will be teaching a graduate-level course on R at CU Boulder next semester. I have a teaching idea that might also help improve the R wiki page... I wanted to know what you all thought of it and wanted to solicit some advice about doing it. During the latter part of the course, students will choose a topic of inter...

Hi I am a programming pleb, however I would like to learn how to write my own functions and methods. Can anyone suggest a good place to start teaching myself, readings or other?

Hi all, We are preparing for a future batch, and we may be shorthanded for teaching. R is our programming language of choice. Data Science Retreat (DSR: http://datascienceretreat.com) sits at Microsoft Ventures offices in Berlin Mitte. We have chief-data-scientist mentors and a pretty exhaustive program on machine learning + data science. You can check it out here: http://datascie...
