I have a question about how to filter the data frame: Suppose my data frame has variables like gender, age,... How to get a subset of the data frame, with only female (or male) and/or age > 50...? What is the typical syntax? I tried several condition expressions, but none of them worked... Thanks a lot! -- View this message in context:

I have a question. I have a data set (about 100,000 observations). How would I get the distribution curve graph? This is like, if I use hist(x, freq="TRUE", breaks=1000) to get the histogram, now the question is, I don't need the histogram itself, I just need the curve that connects the top of each histogram bin. Thank you very much! -- View this message in context:

Hello, I was using garchFit {fGarch} to fit some GARCH processes. I noticed that the result contains "Log Likelihood" value (right above "Description"), but when I use .. at fit$llh to retrieve Log Likelihood value, the sign switched. I am confused about which value I should choose to report... Any help here? Thanks a lot! Ted -- View this message in context:

I have a simple regression using lm(). If I just want to check the coefficient, I can use summary(lm())$coef; if I need the standard error, I can use summary(lm())$s, if I need the residuals, I can use summary(lm())$res. OK. How can I get the R-squares and Adjusted R-squares using $...? Is there a function, like objects(), that can show all the references for values? Thanks a lot! -- View this

X and Y are independently distributed random variables. I would like to study the contours of the joint density of these two variables. Any function to call?

How to get robust M-estimators of multivariate scatter using Huber's psi? Which package/function should I look into? Ideally, I hope I can self-define thresholds of Huber's psi function.

Hello, I have a univariate data set, and the unconditional variance is 1. I would like to fit a GARCH(1,1) model to the data set with a constraint: \omega (the constant parameter in GARCH(1,1)) is equal to 1-\alpha-\beta. So the unconditional variance can be controled to be \omega /(1-\alpha-\beta) = 1. I was using garchFit (fGARCH package) but did not find the way to control. Any help?

I know, this is a forum about R. But I am so desperate of this problem (BTW, anyone knows any good Statistics/Math forum to post question like this?): A and B are both n x n positive definite matrix. Denote A > B, if A - B is positive definite. I know this is true: if A > B, then A^{-1} < B^{-1}. But how to prove this? I tried to diagonalize A and B, but since they can have different
