VGAM package released on CRAN
Dear useRs, upon request, the VGAM package (currently version 0.7-1) has been officially released on CRAN (the package has been at my website http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~yee/VGAM for a number of years now). VGAM implements a general framework for several classes of regression models using iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS). The key ideas are Fisher scoring, generalized linear and

multivariate ordered probit regression---use standard bivariate normal distribution?
Hello. I have yet to receive a response to my previous post, so I may have done a poor job asking the question. So, here is the general question: how can I run a run a multivariate (more than one non-independent, response variables) ordered probit regression model? I've had success doing this in the univariate case using the vglm() function in the VGAM package. For example:

multivariate ordinal probit regression vglm()
Hello, all. I'm investigating the rate at which skeletal joint surfaces pass through a series of ordered stages (changes in morphology). Current statistical methods in this type of research use various logit or probit regression techniques (e.g., proportional odds logit/probit, forward/backward continuation ratio, or restricted/unrestricted cumulative probit). Data typically include the

GAM for censored data? (survival analysis)
First let me admit that I am no statistician... rather, an ecologist with just enough statistical knowledge to be dangerous. I've got a dataset with percent ground cover values for species and other entities. The data are left censored at zero, in that percent ground cover cannot be negative. (My data rarely reach 100% cover so I haven't bothered with adding a right censoring at 100).

GLM results different from GAM results without smoothing terms
Hi, I am fitting two models, a generalized linear model and a generalized additive model, to the same data. The R-Help tells that "A generalized additive model (GAM) is a generalized linear model (GLM) in which the linear predictor is given by a user specified sum of smooth functions of the covariates plus a conventional parametric component of the linear predictor." I am fitting the GAM

multinomial probit
Is there any library for fitting multinomial probit using either likelihood or the "method of simulated moments" or both. I presume it would be possible to write a family function in VGAM for the multinomial probit, but was hoping that someone has done it already. Thanking you as always. Vumani Dlamini CSO-Swaziland

GAM hurdle models
Hello, I have been using mgcv to run GAM hurdle models, analyzing presence/absence data with GAM logistic regressions, and then analyzing the data conditional on presence (e.g. without samples with no zeros) with GAMs with a negative binomial distribution. It occurs to me that using the negative binomial distribution on data with no zeros is not right, as the negative binomial allows zeros.

gam and ordination (vegan and labdsv surf and ordisurf)
I have a general question about using thin plate splines in the surf and ordisurf routines. My rudimentary knowledge of a gam is that with each predictive variable there is a different smooth for each one and then they are added together with no real interaction term (because they don't handle this well?). Now, If I have two variables that have a high D^2 score and a low GCV score (I am

Problems and bugs in vgam()
Hello R-Users, I have recently run into several problems using vgam() in the VGAM package. I am hoping someone might have some solutions... Briefly, I have been trying to fit GAM models for zero-altered negative binomial models. 1. When fitting smoothed parameters (e.g. s(X, df=2)) changing the degrees-of-freedom has no effect on the level of smoothing (e.g. number of knots for the

Ordered probit using clm2
Hi, I am new in R. I would like to do a ordered probit regression using clm2 (in the ordinal package). My dependent variable y is the way of payment in M&A: y=0 if the deal is financed by stock only, y=1 if the deal is financed by a mix of cash and stock and y=2 if it is by cash only. My independent variables are CollateralB, Cashavailable and Leverage. This is the code I wrote: >

controlling where *.Rout gets printed. Possible?
OK, my journey to make lab machines automagically install & update all desirable R packages is nearing an end! The only question I have now is this: How can I control where the system prints the *.Rout file that is created automatically when the R batch program runs. In "man R" I don't find any information about it. When the cron job runs "R_installAll.sh" (see

Ordered Probit/Logit with random coefficients
Hello, I searched everywhere but I didn't find what I want, that is why I as the question here. Threads discussing this issue on this mailing list are already quite old. Does anybody know of a function in R which allows to estimate ordered probit/logit model with random coefficients. The only mixed effect model I found was clmm of the ordinal package but it only provides random intercepts. I

rzinb (VGAM) and dnbinom in optim
Dear R-help gurus (and T.Yee, the VGAM maintainer) - I've been banging my head against the keyboard for too long now, hopefully someone can pick up on the errors of my ways... I am trying to use optim to fit a zero-inflated negative binomial distribution. No matter what I try I can't get optim to recognize my initial parameters. I think the problem is that dnbinom allows either

Problems in package management after Linux system upgrade
I upgraded from Fedora Core 4 to Fedora Core 5 and I find a lot of previously installed packages won't run because shared libraries or other system things have changed "out from under" the installed R libraries. I do not know for sure if the R version now from Fedora-Extras (2.2.1) is exactly the same one I was using in FC4. I see problems in many packages. Example, Hmisc: unable

variance explained by each term in a GAM
Picking up an ancient thread (from Oct 2007), I have a somewhat more complex problem than given in Simon Wood's example below. My full model has more than two smooths as well as factor variables as in this simplified example: b <- gam(y~fv1+s(x1)+s(x2)+s(x3)) Judging from Simon's example, my guess is to fit reduced models to get components of deviance as follows: b1 <-

mgcv::gam shrinkage of smooths
In Dr. Wood's book on GAM, he suggests in section 4.1.6 that it might be useful to shrink a single smooth by adding S=S+epsilon*I to the penalty matrix S. The context was the need to be able to shrink the term to zero if appropriate. I'd like to do this in order to shrink the coefficients towards zero (irrespective of the penalty for "wiggliness") - but not necessarily all the

partial residuals in plot.gam()
All, Sorry for bombarding you with GAM related questions, but... I know a partial residual option in plot.gam() is on Simon Wood's todo list, but since I'm in the midst of a project and not yet having acquired sufficient R knowledge to code something usable myself I'll have to put my trust in you. Anybody got some code lying around for doing this? Or if someone can supply me with

knots fixed in gam(), library(mgcv)
Dear all, I have a problem with specifying the no. of knots in our function which include gam(). I last worked with this in mid September but since then I have reinstalled R and Simon Wood's library(mgcv), which he has changed since then. The statistician (and good R-coder) with whom I co-operate is now unfortunately overloaded with teaching, and I'm in the sprut of my thesis.... I
