similar to: stepAICc function (based on MASS:::stepAIC.default)

Dear R users, Would it be difficult to change the code of stepAIC (from the MASS library) to use AICc instead of AIC? It would be great to know of someone has tried this already. Best wishes Christoph.

Dear developers, I just noticed that step() function currently prints the current model using message(), but the resulting model using print(). The relevant commands within the step() body are: if (trace) message("Start: AIC=", format(round(bAIC, 2)), "\n", cut.string(deparse(as.vector(formula(fit)))), "\n") (with example() output:) Start: AIC=190.69

I have fitted the faults.data to glm.nb and to the function negbin from the package aod. The output of both is the following: summary(glm.nb(n~ll, data=faults)) Call: glm.nb(formula = n ~ ll, data = faults, init.theta = 8.667407437, link = log) Deviance Residuals: Min 1Q Median 3Q Max -2.0470 -0.7815 -0.1723 0.4275 2.0896 Coefficients:

I would like test AICc as a criteria for model selection for a glm using stepAIC() from MASS package. Based on various information available in WEB, stepAIC() use extractAIC() to get the criteria used for model selection. I have created a new extractAIC() function (and extractAIC.glm() and extractAIC.lm() ones) that use a new parameter criteria that can be AIC, BIC or AICc. It works as

Dear peRsons, I have a Sweave document which demonstrates the usage of step() function. With current R version 2.5.0 the step() function was changed so that the heading of trace=TRUE output for each model is printed using command message(): if (trace) message("\nStep: AIC=", format(round(bAIC, 2)), "\n",

Dear all, I found a problem with 'lme4'. Basically, once you load the package 'aod' (Analysis of Overdispersed Data), the functions 'lmer' and 'glmer' don't work anymore: library(lme4) (fm1 <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (Days|Subject), sleepstudy)) (gm1 <- glmer(cbind(incidence, size - incidence) ~ period + (1 | herd), family = binomial, data

I wonder if you are perhaps trying to solve the wrong problem. If you like what the older version of the aod package does, but not the current version, then I think the solution is to propose an option to the aod maintainer that would restore your preferred algorithm into the current version, and then use the current R. A less good, but possibly workable, option is to compile the old version of

Don't choose a mirror. That will override the repos choice. Do update R to a current version if you aren't able to debug this yourself.

All support on this list is voluntary, and support for old versions of R is not even necessarily on-topic here which is why you keep getting nudged to upgrade. Your "need" for support for an old version is definitely not "our" problem, so I suggest you start looking for a consultant if this issue is that important to you. Such is the nature of volunteer-developed open source

Okay, so it's not an RStudio issue. However, I'd guess setting options(repos = "https://cran-archive.r-project.org") at the start of your session could make everything work. (I'm guessing you currently have it set to "http://cran.rstudio.com", which is the source of the last warning below, probably due to an R bug. But since you're using an obsolete

Hello R Users, I have two data sets i) TOMS aerosol optical depth(AOD) and ii) TOMS ozone(O3). AOD data is on 1x1 grid and O3 data is on 5x5 grid. First I want to read AOD and O3 as it is and then I want to regrid AOD on 5x5 grid as O3. Reading is first problem. FIRST PROBLEM READING AOD: AOD data is in following format: ######### Latitute: 89.5 167 0 0 0 0 0 182 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 200

Sorry Gentlemen and all. Now this is becoming a joke (to me). I repeated what I did earlier, with and without the option to set repos suggested by Duncan. Now it does not work. I wonder whether it is dependent on the mirror I chose, but I do not remember the one I chose earlier when it work. I need your help, gentlemen, as I need to use R-3.0.3 for my task. >

Thanks. You gentlemen please tell me what this means. In R (outside of RStudio) I ran: install.packages("aod") Received a warning (and installation did not seem to go through). Then I tried install.packages("aod",repos='https://cran-archive.r-project.org') Received a warning but it went on to try

Thanks for the help. I have a reason to continue with R-3.0.3. I used maxLik to estimate econometric models and some of them are better handled with R-3.0.3 (but not later)----a sad reality I do not like. Here is what I did. I downloaded https://cran-archive.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.0/aod_1.3.zip and installed the zip file, which worked in both RStudio and R (without RStudio). In

Drop the RStudio repos. Best, Uwe Ligges On 05.10.2020 11:10, Steven Yen wrote: > Thanks. I did as suggested but still received a warning, though the > installation went through.

Then you'd rather need install.packages("aod",repos='https://cran-archive.r-project.org') or use the contrib.url argument.

Just remembered: RStudio runs its own wrapper around install.packages(). Steven, you should try doing the install from outside of RStudio, and see if it makes a difference.

Thanks. I did as suggested but still received a warning, though the installation went through. Anything I could do to install without the warning message. What is the contrib.url argument? > install.packages("aod",repos='https://cran-archive.r-project.org') Warning in install.packages : ? unable to access index for repository

He didn't specify the RStudio repos, though it's probably implicitly specified in getOption("repos"). I wonder why install.packages() is looking there, when repos is given explicitly?
