Dear R listers, I posted this problem several days ago but it seems nobody answered. I use nlm to optimize a given function ,but it always generates the following warnings " Error in nlm(foo, theta.start) : non-finite value supplied by 'nlm' " I don't know why ,can anybody give me some hints ?? thanks in advance. regards .

Dear list, hi ! I am a R beginner and I have a function to optimize . alpha = argmin{ f(x,alpha) } I want alpha to be in [0,1]. Is there any function that can work? I use nlm() but i can't fix the domain of alpha. thanks in advance _______________________ Jiang Peng, Ph.D. Candidate Department of Mathematics & Antai college of Economics and Management Shanghai Jiao

Dear R experts, i have a vector z , i have to do something after z is sorted. how can i find the original index, i.e., before sorting, of a certain element in the sorted vector . thanks in advance regards ----------------------------------------------- Peng Jiang ?? ,Ph.D. Candidate Antai College of Economics & Management ????????

Hi, Is there any package that I can use to simulate the Gaussian Mixture Model , which is a mixture modeling method that is widely used in statistical learning theory. I know there is a mclust, however, I think it is a little bit different from my problem. Thanks very much.. regards. -------------------------- Peng Jiang ??

Hi, dear R experts , I am new. I met this problem when I am trying to learn how to use the nlminb() function. I tried the example which the document provides ( as the following code ) and R gives no response . I don't know whether it is running or not and it takes a very long time but still output nothing so I just close the session window. my question is is there any method

Dear R Users, I would like to plot three time series on the same graph, two axis on the left and one axis on the right. The time series that I am graphing on the left do not share a similar scale: one has a range of 1:100 and the other a range of 25000:70000. How can I display the tick marks for both on the left hand side without superimposing them, i.e. one set of tick marks in black right

Hi, I first report the installing error to the r-sig-mac mailing list but it seems nobody ever encounter this annoying problem and I got no replies. so I am trying to forward it to this list, hope it never bothers. Anyone had the same problem, or what does the warning message mean ? Thank you in advance ! Begin forwarded message: > From: Peng Jiang <jp021@sjtu.edu.cn> > Date:

Dear R listers, I have a very annoying problem using nlm(). I want to find the minimizer of my target function, if written in \LaTeX is f(\mu1,\mu2,\sigma1,\sigma2) = \sum_i^n( w_ig_t(z_i) ), where g_t(z) is a pdf of bivariate normal distribution and z_i is my samples. I cannot get the estimation result generated by nlm(), and I got the following errors " Error in

Hi, dear R experts . is there any package contain an universal EM procedure, that is , for arbitrary d.f. , not just the one in mclust . thanks in advance best regards ----------------------------------------------- Peng Jiang ?? ,Ph.D. Candidate Antai College of Economics & Management ????????

Occasionally, I start a command (taking long time to finish) that I did not really want to start. I type 'ctrl+C' to try to quit the execution. However, R does not quit the execution of the command immediately. I'm wondering if R could response to ctrl+C immediately.

Hi, I did a search but I was able to find how to generate a random matrix. Can somebody let me know how to do it? Regards, Peng

I have from time to time seen inquiries on r-help in respect of how to obtain the estimated standard deviation from the output of fitting a linear model. And have had occasion to want to do this myself. The way I currently do it is something like summary(fit)$sigma (where fit is returned by lm()). It strikes me that it might be a good idea to have an extractor function, analogous with coef()

Hi, I will end this mailbox and start a new one and i want to quit this list. I search the R official website with no answer. thanks in advance [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I keep getting repeated copies of ``R-help post acknowledgements'' in respect of a couple of postings that I made to the list this morning (my time). I only posted each posting *once*. I hope that others are not getting repeated copies of my postings .... I mean I *know* my postings are so wonderful they merit re-reading, but one does not need another copy in order to re-read! :-)

Hi, My Mac OS is Leopard. I downloaded R-GUI-5496-2.9-leopard-Leopard64.dmg from http://r.research.att.com/. I run R from the image disk, but it always "quit unexpectedly". What could cause the problem? Is it because that I have a 32 bit R installed already installed in the same machine. Regards, Peng

Hi,Dear all R experts, I am trying to do the 2-way contingency table analysis by fitting the loglinear models. However, I found my table has several empty cells which are theoretically missing values.I have no idea of how to solve them coz we cannot compute the simulated p-value with zero marginals.Does someone have some suggestions? Please help me out, thanks a lot! Cheers, Yan

Hi all, I am a biological student and need your help in statistics. I have two sets of binomial distributed numbers: {a1, a2, ..., an} and {b1, b2, ..., bn}. How can I get the distribution of the ratios of the two sets of numbers {a1/b1, a2/b2, ..., an/bn}? Is there a formula to transform the distributions? Or where I can start if I want to learn necessary techniques? Thank you a lot! xiechao

For reasons that are best known to myself [ ;-) ] I have a value of .Random.seed saved (via dput()) in a file ``.Random.seed.save''. In my .Rprofile I have the lines: .Random.seed <- dget(".Random.seed.save") Junk <- dget(".Random.seed.save") print(all.equal(.Random.seed,dget(".Random.seed.save")))

Hi, Is the following function built in somewhere? concat = function(v) { res = "" for (i in 1:length(v)) res = paste(res,v[i],sep="") res } e.g. > concat(c("12","3","45")) [1] "12345" Cheers, Andy -- Andy Fugard, Postgraduate Research Student Psychology (Room F3), The University of Edinburgh, 7 George
