Hi again Sorry, in looking again at sammon and isoMDS I see that they seem to do exactly what I want, except that they are non-metric, which means, as I understand it, that they relate the rank orders of the variables rather than the actual distances. Could I use these non-metric MDS packages even if my distances are metric? Thanks Karen -- Karen Kotschy Centre for Water in the Environment

Hi. I have data which i would want to assess the degree of agreement between two assays, e.g., to evaluate reproducibility or for inter-rater reliability. I have used the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. It looks good ranginging between 0.90 to 0.998. Though this looks good. I am told the Concordance correlation coefficient will give a better picture of how reproducible the assay

I'm in this situation: factorlabels <- c("School", "College", "Beyond") with data for 8 families: education.man <- c(1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2) # Note : no "3" values education.wife <- c(1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2) # 1,2,3 are all present. My goal is to create this table: School College Beyond

Dears, I'm a college student and In doing my statistics homework. I use R with SEM package as my tool for sem analysis, but my teacher told me AMOS is more suitable for such analysis. Could someone help tell me whether it is true that some commercial software is better accepted in academic fields? Sorry if I should not post such topics here. -- Best Regards, Reeyarn T.

I work for a Investment group with a very extensive training program and we are having our new hires take a statistics course at University of Chicago where they have to complete some assignments with R. I was wondering if there are any online tutorials that exist where we could get our participants comfortable with R before the class itself? I appreciate any help at all. Thanks, Matt Maxon

Hi, I would like to apply the L-BFGS optimization algorithm to compute the MLE of a multilevel multinomial Logistic Regression. The likelihood formula for this model has as one of the summands the formula for computing the likelihood of an ordinary (single-level) multinomial logit regression. So I would basically need the R implementation for this formula. The L-BFGS algorithm also requires

Dear friends, I am beginning to use R software in my academic research and I'm having some problems regarding the use of PCA. I have a table with 24445 rows and 9 columns, and I used the function prcomp() to do the analysis. Working with an example?: x<-read.table("test.txt", header=T) row.names(x)<-x[,1] x<-x[,-1] require(stats) pca<-prcomp(x, scale=T) names(pca) ##

Hi all, I am attempting to run PCA on a matrix (nrow=66, ncol=84) using 'prcomp' (stats package). My data (referred to as 'Q' in the code below) are separate river streamflow gaging stations (columns) and peak instantaneous discharge (rows). I am attempting to use PCA to identify regions of that vary together. I am entering the following command:

Hi, I have the following table data: f1, f2, f3, f4. I want to compute the counts of unique combinations of f1-f4. In SQL I would just write: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM <table> GROUP BY f1, f2, ..,f4. How to do this in R? Thanks, Nick -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Group-by-in-R-tp23020587p23020587.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hello, I have climatic data of various years with many missing values. I would like to know what tools in R are most suited to estimate this missing values. (New in R and quite new on statistics). Thanks, G

I am using R for environmental forensics (determination of the sources and/or groupings in mixtures of organic chemicals in the field). The goal is to determine in there are groups of samples with similar/dissimilar compositions, and to assign samples to a potential source or a mixture of sources based on the composition (unmixing and source allocation). Typically there are 10 to 50 chemicals that

Hi All, I have been trying to get to plot my PCA legend outside of the PCA plot, but success still alludes me. Can you guys please advise how I can achieve this. I used locater() to obtain coordinates for below the Comp.1 axis. Using these coordinates the legend disappears. Below is the code for the PCA and legend. Thanks in advance for the help. Regards Tinus r.cols <-

Hi R-community, I am doing a PCA and I need plots for different combinations of axes (e.g., PC1 vs PC3, and PC2 vs PC3) with the arrows indicating the loadings of each variables. What I need is exactly what I get using biplot (pca.object) but for other axes. I have plotted PC2 and 3 using the scores of the cases, but I don't get the arrows proportional to the loadings of each variables on

I am trying to run PCA on a matrix (the first column and row are headers). There are several cells with NA's. When I run PCA with the following code: ______________________________________ setwd("I:/PCA") AsianProp<-read.csv("Matrix.csv", sep=",", header=T, row.names=1) attach(AsianProp) AsianProp AsianProp.pca<-princomp(AsianProp, na.omit)

Hello, I am trying to complete a PCA on a set of standardized ring widths from 8 different sites (T10, T9, T8, T7, T6, T5, T3, and T2). The following is a small portion of my data: T10 T9 T8 T7 T6 T5 T3 T2 1.33738 0.92669 0.91146 0.98922 0.9308 0.88201 0.92287 0.91775 0.82181 1.05319 0.92908 0.97971 0.95165 0.98029 1.14048 0.77803 0.88294 0.96413 0.90893 0.87957 0.9961 0.74926 0.71394 0.70877

Dear R users, i would like to apply a PCA on image data for data reduction. The image data is available as three matrices for the RGB values. At the moment i use x <- data.frame(R,G,B)#convert image data to data frame pca<-princomp(x,retx = TRUE) This is working so far. >From this results then i want to create a new matrix from the first (second..) principal component. Here i stuck.

I am doing Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on assets data for household income prediction. The problem is that the assets data are rank ordered (usually binary ... possess car/don't possess car), so the normal correlation is inappropriate for the calculation of the PCA. Instead one has to use the polychoric correlation coefficient. It uses the "random.polychor.pa" package.

After doing a PCA using princomp, how do you view how much each component contributes to variance in the dataset. I'm still quite new to the theory of PCA - I have a little idea about eigenvectors and eigenvalues (these determine the variance explained?). Are the eigenvalues related to loadings in R?

Dear R-helpers, Using the package Lattice, I performed a PCA. For example pca.summary <- summary(pc.cr <- princomp(USArrests, cor = TRUE)) The Output of "pca.summary" looks as follows: Importance of components: Comp.1 Comp.2 Comp.3 Comp.4 Standard deviation 1.5748783 0.9948694 0.5971291 0.41644938 Proportion of Variance 0.6200604
