Hello, I'm having trouble in using "assign(paste ..." command . I could create several dataframes following trinomial distribution using it but it could not be used to check their row means of the created dataframe. For example, the following works: probTrt=matrix(0,4,3); probTrt; #malf, death, normal probTrt[1,]=c(0.064,0.119,0.817);#for Trt 1 probTrt[2,]=c(0.053,0.125,0.823);#for

Hi, Rusers: Thanks for answering my last questions. I am frustrated in plotting a trinomial pmf function f(x,y | n, pa, pb) = factorial(n)/ (factorial(x) * factorial(y) * factorial (n-x-y))* pa^x * pb^y * ((1-pa-pb)^(n-x-y)) obviously it is a bivariate function of x and y. But I have put a lot of time on this. ********************************** x <- seq(0, n, len = n/2+1) # for now I set

...gain, my goal is to simultaneously estimate parameters from the same function for two years, such that I can test if the parameters from the two years are different. Perhaps an important difference from the above example is that I am using a multinomial distribution (dmnom) because my data are trinomially distributed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello R Help, I am trying solve an MLE convergence problem: I would like to estimate four parameters, p1, p2, mu1, mu2, which relate to the probabilities, P1, P2, P3, of a multinomial (trinomial) distribution. I am using the mle2() function and feeding it a time series dataset composed of four columns: time point, number of successes in category 1, number of successes in category 2, and

Hi Petr, Many thanks for your response. Basically I want to create a probability matrix to be used in a trinomial tree going forward. This is the reason why I thought to build the matrix around 0 would be much more efficient. I need to loop through because the probabilities will depend on my node and is not always the same per row (e.g. if N> jmax, jmax being defined in another function) I

Hi Well, I am not an expert in this field so I cannot comment your approach. I wanted only to point out that building matrix your way is like scratching your left ear with right hand, especially in R. What if you want increase size of your matrix? E.g. you use function ProbUP once for row "0" and than for rows different from jmax (if I correctly understand your code). Use of any

Does the audience know exactly what the creation of dummy variables in SPSS is and means? If not, they might consider

Hi Eric I did not see any answer and frankly speaking I cannot provide you with canned help. AFAIK if a function is defined within another function (which is your case) it cannot be called directly so it is necessary to define it in global environment. > fff <- function(x) { + myf <- function(a) a+2 + myf(x)^2} > > fff(5) [1] 49 > myf(5) Error in myf(5) : could not find

I want to populate the matrix prb through the function HWMProb <- function (a,j,dt) that encapsulates different functions (please see code below), using j= 0:2 for each j. It only populates prb if I specify each function independently in the global environment and then run the loop with the iF statement, as per below. for (j in 0:2) { if (j==0) { prb["0","1"] <-
