Dear R-lings, I did not know which list to post to, because it is a studentship so not really a job, so it did not fit the r-sig-jobs list .... and it is about devloping an extension package interfaced with R .... I hope I did not upset anyone. If so apologies. The Centre For Complex systems Analysis at the University of York (YCCSA) in UK in collaboration with Stockholm Environment

I am using nls to fit a non linear function to some data. The non linear function is: y= 1- exp(-(k0+k1*p1+ .... + kn*pn)) I have chosen algorithm "port", with lower boundary is 0 for all of the ki parameters, and I have tried many start values for the parameters ki (including generating them at random). If I fit the non linear function to the same data using an external

I'm trying to diagnose a bizarre problem in which the help files invoked from R are partially defective. help(), for instance, is missing the Description, Arguments and See Also sections; as are help files for other commands (see below). I've built 2.8.1, 2.10.1 and HEAD with the same results; do I need to set an environment or configuration variable? help

Dear friends, what is this error message in gam???? I cannot understand what it means .... is it a bug? gam_bray_scot24_pc_0505<gam(bray~s(PC1,PC2,PC3,PC4,PC5, PC1.1,PC2.1,PC3.1,PC4.1,PC5.1),data=dist_scot24_vector_with_climate) Error in if (length(data) != vl) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed Calls: gam ... smooth.construct -> smooth.construct.tp.smooth.spec -> array In

I read in a thread in r-help today that the windows device in 2.6 supports transparency, so I tried an example and had some issues. The density plots should be filled with transparent color in the following example (similar to the points), however the color is "fully" transparent. This works in the Cairo device, but not in the windows device. Thanks, --Matt Matt Austin

Dear list, I have a strange requirement .... I have a vector, for example v<- c(0,0,0,0,1,2,4,6,8,8,8,8). I have a value,for example x<- 4.8. I would like to understand in which sub interval of v is x. In this case, v would be in the sub interval [4,6] that is in the subinterval starting from element j=7 to the element j+1=8. Can we do that with an R command? Regards -- Corrado Topi

Dear All, The Decision and Policy Analysis (DAPA) program of the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), a not-for-profit agriculture, biodiversity and ecosystems research center, supported by the Consultative Group of International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), with headquarters in Cali, Colombia is looking for a visiting researcher to work on various modeling projects, primarily

Dear friends, Do you know how to calculate the CONCAVE hull of a set of points (2- dimensional or n-dimensional)? is that possible in R? (With a "smoothing" parameter of course).

Dear friends, I am testing glm as at page 514/515 of THE R BOOK by M.Crawley, that is on proportion data. I use glm(y~x1+,family=binomial) y is a proportion in (0,1), and x is a real number. I get the error: In eval(expr, envir, enclos) : non-integer #successes in a binomial glm! But that is exactly what was suggested in the book, where there is no mention of a similar warning. Where am I

Dear R-friends, How do you test the goodness of prediction of a model, when you predict on a set of data DIFFERENT from the training set? I explain myself: you train your model M (e.g. glm,gam,regression tree, brt) on a set of data A with a response variable Y. You then predict the value of that same response variable Y on a different set of data B (e.g. predict.glm, predict.gam and so on).

Hi all, I started to ask this in the other post, but it is off topis...so here it is again. I have a data.frame (created with the helpof this mail list) that looks like this : 'data.frame': 22801 obs. of 15 variables: $ V1 : chr "HUMUS" "SLABO" "MALO" "SLABO" ... $ V2 : chr "IN" "GRANULIRA...

Dear friends, I have to use a very large matrix. Something of the sort of matrix(80000,80000,n) .... where n is something numeric of the sort 0.xxxxxx I have not found a way of doing it. I keep getting the error Error in matrix(nrow = 80000, ncol = 80000, 0.2) : too many elements specified Any suggestions? I have searched the mailing list, but to no avail.

Dear R list, I just obtained a negative AIC for two models (-221.7E+4 and -230.2E+4). Is that normal?

Hi, I've been planning to develop a support for tunneling between "local_tcp => server_AF_UNIX". This way, every user of server machine, can have: 1. personal address space (if socket is located on personal directory). Currently one must check assigned local port every time starting a server (e.g. vncserver), and redirect a local port to "random" remote port. 2. Added

How do people feel about eliminating the list serv in favor of the forum? Or limiting the list serv to news? I have one vendor I work with that has a knowledgebase, a forum, and two mailing lists - with much overlap of topics. It is truly enough to drive you totally crazy. I'm not suggesting anything. Just bringing it up. Geoff

Dear R gurus, I have some climatic data for a region of the world. They are monthly averages 1950 -2000 of precipitation (12 months), minimum temperature (12 months), maximum temperature (12 months). I have scaled them to 2 km x 2km cells, and I have around 75,000 cells. I need to feed them into a statistical model as co-variates, to use them to predict a response variable. The climatic

Dear R-experts, I have a question on the formulas used in the gam function of the mgcv package. I am trying to understand the relationships between: y~s(x1)+s(x2)+s(x3)+s(x4) and y~s(x1,x2,x3,x4) Does the latter contain the former? what about the smoothers of all interaction terms? I have (tried to) read the manual pages of gam, formula.gam, smooth.terms, linear.functional.terms but
