search for: unemployed

Hey all, first time poster here. I'm new to R and working on my first real programming and forecasting asignment. I'm using unemployment data from 1948-2012. I successfully completed part a and the linear fit for part b, but i am really struggling fitting a polynomial with a power greater than 2 to my forecast. I'll upload my R code at the bottom. Any help is very much appreciated!

Dear r-devel list members, On a couple of occasions I've encountered the issue illustrated by the following examples: --------- snip ----------- > mod.1 <- lm(Employed ~ GNP.deflator + GNP + Unemployed + + Armed.Forces + Population + Year, data=longley) > mod.2 <- update(mod.1, . ~ . - Year + Year) > all.equal(mod.1, mod.2) [1] TRUE > > f <- function(mod){ + subs <- 1:10 + update(mod, subset=subs) + } > f(mod.1) Call: lm(formula = Employed ~ G...

...rstand there might be a place here to do some sort of mixed model, but I would prefer to present a "correlation", and am not sure how to extract such an output from a mixed model. Also, here is a short dummy code to give an idea of what I am talking about: attach(longley) N <- length(Unemployed) block <- c( rep( "a", N), rep( "b", N), rep( "c", N) ) Unemployed.3 <- c(Unemployed + rnorm(1), Unemployed + rnorm(1), Unemployed + rnorm(1)) GNP.deflator.3 <- c(GNP.deflator + rnorm(1), GNP.deflator + rnorm(1), GNP.deflator + rnorm(1)) cor(Unemployed, GN...

I have a database of bookmarks and tags, and want to count the number of bookmarks each tag is assigned to, for example: user "tyler" has the tag "concerts" on 15 out of his 30 bookmarks. This code: hash = Hash.new("0"); @user.tags.each do |t| @user.bookmarks.each do |b| x = 0 if b.tags.include?(t) then hash[b.id] =+ 1 puts "hash is #{hash}

In Germany the Unemployment Agency uses a sectioning of the german map that is different from the usual Administrative Boundaries. Some demographic data are available in Administrative Boundaries only, some in Unemployment Boundaries only. I would like to generate estimates in one boundary system of data availabe in the other boundary system, and would appreciate advice concerning the following

Dear All, I would like to ask if it is possible to estimate a hazard function using the muhaz command when all the data is right-censored. My data has information of the number of weeks people has been unemployed but all of them are unemployed at the date of the survey, that is, I cannot observed when the individuals leave the unemployment state. I appreciate your help, Best, Monica L.

Hello, I have the following problem. I am running simulations on possible states of a set of agents (1=employed, 0=unemployed). I store these simulated time series in a matrix like the following, where rows indicates time periods, columns the number of agents (4 agents and 8 periods in this case): Atr=[ 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0...

Hi all, I have managed to create a figure on the screen with multiple plots in it. Something like the example below. When I save that with ggsave(), only the last plot gets saved (pPath in the example) instead of the entire figure. Any suggestions how I can save this kind of figures automated? Thanks, Thierry library(ggplot2) pPoint <- qplot(unemploy/pop, psavert, data=economics) pPath

...ed. Firstly, sharing experience and getting more people interested in mentoring will help. Secondly, asking the participating (ex-) students can give us better understanding of the daily issues they have/had. Lastly, potentially involving HR people could help to transition our best students (or unemployed contributors) to more stable positions and thus keeping them around longer. We have thought of a several potential directions for this BoF: * Discuss how to make contributions to llvm easier. Eg. classify the bugs/fixmes for newbies and put them online... * Share mentoring experience...

...It is just meant to show the structure of the dataset. The variables of interest are p_0, ... p_37. They represent types of activity of the 6021 persons interviewed in 38 consecutive period. The values for p_0 and p_37 are coded as follows: 1 = self-employed 2 = employed 3 = in training 4 = unemployed NA = no information available p_0 is the period before p_1. This period was just before the survey, so that none of the individuals were interviewed in this period. p_37 is the period after p_36. This period was just after the survey, so that none of the individuals were interviewed in this p...

Hi, I am working on fitting a proportional hazard model to predict the probability of default for mortgage loans. I have a question regarding survfit function. My historical data set is a pool of loans with monthly observed default status for the next 24 months. The data is left truncated (delayed entry to observation window after the loan is opened) and right censored. I would like to

We would like to load data from Statistics Canada (http://www.statcan.gc.ca/) using R, for example, Employment and unemployment rates. It seems to me that the tables are displayed in HTML. I was wondering if you know how to load these tables. Thanks, -james
