...e original varible was -.91!!? I guess that is something fundmental missing in my current thinking about box-cox... Best, Holger P.S. Here is what i did: # Creating of a skewed variable X (mixture of two normals) x1 = rnorm(120,0,.5) x2 = rnorm(40,2.5,2) X = c(x1,x2) # Adding a small constant Xnew1 = X +abs(min(X))+ .1 box.cox.powers(Xnew1) Xtrans1 = Xnew1^.2682 #(the value of the lambda estimate) # Adding a larger constant Xnew2 = X +abs(min(X)) + 1 box.cox.powers(Xnew2) Xtrans2 = Xnew2^-.2543 #(the value of the lambda estimate) #Plotting it all par(mfrow=c(3,2)) hist(X) qqnorm(X) qqline(X...

Hi Everyone, Here's a silly newbie question. How do I remove unwanted rows from an R table? Say that I read my data as: X <- read.table("mydata.txt") and say that there are columns for age and gender. Call these X[5] and X[10], respectively. Here, X[5] is a column of positive integers and X[10] is binary valued i.e., zero (for male) and one (for female) Now, say that I

Hi, I need to aggregate rows of a data.frame by computing the mean for rows with the same factor-level on one factor-variable; here is the sample code: x <- data.frame(rep(letters,2), rnorm(52), rnorm(52), rnorm(52)) aggregate(x, list(x[,1]), mean) Now my problem is, that the actual data-set is much bigger (120 rows and approximately 100.000 columns) ? and it takes very very long
