similar to: R package for estimating markov transition matrix from observations + confidence?

Dear R User, Please, I am new to R. I want to overlay density plot for predictive interval pooled result in meta-analysis. http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/graphcode.php?graph=114 Regards Frank Peter

I get the following error when I try reading in a table. How are 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 duplicate row names? Thx. > table <- read.table('latestWithNumber.txt', header=T) Error in "row.names<-.data.frame"(`*tmp*`, value = c("1.1", "1.2", "1.3", : duplicate 'row.names' are not allowed Yongchuan

Hi all, I have a problem to estimate Std. Error and t-value by ?polr? in library Mass. They result from the summary of a polr object. I can obtain them working in the R environment with the following statements: temp <- polr(formula = formula1, data = data1) coeff <- summary(temp), but when the above statements are enclosed in a function, summary reports the following error:

Hi all, rmvnorm()can be used to generate the random numbers from a multivariate normal distribution with specified means and covariance matrix, but i want to specify the correlation matrix instead of covariance matrix for the multivariate normal distribution. Does anybody know how to generate the random numbers from a multivariate normal distribution with specified correlation matrix? What about

The concrete problem is that I am refereeing a paper where a confidence interval is presented for the risk ratio and I do not find it credible. I show below my attempts to do this in R. The example is slightly changed from the authors'. I can obtain a confidence interval for the odds ratio from fisher.test of course === fisher.test example === > outcome <- matrix(c(500, 0, 500, 8),

If I am buying a PC where the most compute intensive task will be running R and I do not have unlimited resources what trade-offs should I make? Specifically should I go for 1 - more memory, or 2 - faster processor, or 3 - something else? If it makes a difference I shall be running Windows on it and I am thinking about getting a portable which I understand makes upgrading more difficult. Extra

Hello, My name is Maria, MBA student in Sanfransisco, USA. In my credit scoring class, I have hard time making "transition matrix", which explains probability especially in relation to "Markov chain model". It is regarding people's monthly credit payment behavior. Does R have function to caculate it? I am actually a novice in using 'R'. Please help me!!! Maria

I have been successfully been using R on my EEE PC for some while now. Although it uses Xandros I have been able to install various pieces of software by pretending that it was Debian etch. Johannes was kind enough to continue providing binaries on CRAN for a while but I think I am the only person still living in the past as CRAN etch is currently stuck at 2.11.0 and I cannot rely on him to

Hi, Anybody know what are the common Standard statistical methods used for the analysis of a dataset,and anybody know which of these methods give similar results Ram [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello all, I am currently attempting to replicate data from a political science article that utilized a Markov chain transition model to predict voter turnout intention at time *t*; the data was separated into two different models based on whether prior intent was to vote or not to vote. The details don't really matter. Mostly I am curious how to run a Markov chain transition model in R,

Hello! I have some data stored into 2 separate csv file. 1 file (called A.csv) (12 results named Group1, Group2, Group3, etc...) odds ratios, 2 file (called B.csv) 12 corresponded errors. How to import that data into R and make forest plot like I saw inside help file Rmeta and meta with included different font colors and names trough X and Y axis. I know for meta libb ... out <-

In fact my first vignette full stop. I am intending to use Sweave. I have read the Sweave documentation and section 1.4 of the extensions manual and apart from (a) do not use split = TRUE (b) and include all the source components, there does not seem to be anything CRAN specific. 1 - Am I missing some other documentation? 2 - If I use a package from CTAN would that be considered within the

consider p as random effect with 5 levels, what is difference between these two models? > p5.random.p <- lmer(Y ~p+(1|p),data=p5,family=binomial,control=list(usePQL=FALSE,msV=1)) > p5.random.p1 <- lmer(Y ~1+(1|p),data=p5,family=binomial,control=list(usePQL=FALSE,msV=1)) in addtion, I try these two models, it seems they are same. what is the difference between these two model. Is

Folks, I am holding a dataset where firms are observed for a fixed (and small) set of years. The data is in "long" format - one record for one firm for one point in time. A state variable is observed (a factor). I wish to make a markov transition matrix about the time-series evolution of that state variable. The code below does this. But it's hardcoded to the specific years that I

Hello everyone, I will like to know if there is an R package to compute exact confidence intervals for the ratio of two binomial proportions. Tony. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, Dr. Viechtbauer. I am trying to perform a meta-analyis on a group of before-after studies using Metafor. I read your webpage including your correspondence with Dr. Dewey (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2012-April/308946.html), who also conducted a similar study. These information is very hepful, but I have one additonal question which I wonder if you can give me some instruction.

Hi all, I am working for nest box occupancy data for birds and would like to construct a Markov transition matrix, to derive transition probabilities for ALL years of the study (not separate sets of transition probabilities for each time step). The actual dataset I'm working with is 125 boxes over 14 years that can be occupied by 7 different species, though I have provided a slimmed down

Dear users, Does anyone have any idea how to generate standardised beta coefficients for a ZINB model in R to compare which explanatory variables are having the greatest impact on the dependent variable? Thanks, Jeremy [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I have a problem when I try to generate the Documentation pdf (from .rda files)in Spanish during the package creation. Could you tell me the way I can do it?. Thanks in advance. Regards. Eva [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I am looking for an R package with which one can calculate an effect size for a set of contrasts given an omnibus chi-square test statistic (more than 1 degree of freedom). Is there such a package? Presumably, it would implement the procedure (or something like it) described by Roznow and Rosenthal 1996 Psychological Methods 1: 331-340. many thanks! Steven Orzack Fresh Pond Research Institute
