Hi everyone, can anyone tell me how i can change how i display mean(age), i want it to say The mean age of patients within the sample is mean(age) -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/displaying-results-tp23558890p23558890.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hello. I have a vector and within that vector is one expression. When I display this vector it comes up as expression(NA_character_, NA_character_, "Null Effect", "Pooled effect", NA_character_, NA_character_, NA_character_, NA_character_, NA_character_, paste("Het Contours ", I^2, sep = ""), 0.4, 0.41, 0.42, 0.45, NA_character_) Where the

Dear all, I have a function to optimize for a set of parameters and want to set a constraint on only one parameter. Here is my function. What I want to do is estimate the parameters of a bivariate normal distribution where the correlation has to be between -1 and 1. Would you please advise how to revise it? ex=function(s,prob,theta1,theta,xa,xb,xc,xd,t,delta) { expo1=

I got some R code that I don't understand. Question as comment in code //where is t comming from, what is phi inverse rAC <- function(name, n, d, theta){ #generic function for Archimedean copula simulation illegalpar <- switch(name, clayton = (theta < 0), gumbel = (theta < 1), frank = (theta < 0), BB9 = ((theta[1] < 1) | (theta[2] < 0)), GIG = ((theta[2] < 0) |

Hi, here comes my problem, say I have the following functions (example case) #------------------------------------------------------------ function1 <- function (x, theta) {a <- theta[1] ( 1 - exp(-theta[2]) ) * theta[3] ) b <- x * theta[1] / theta[3]^2 return( list( a = a, b = b )) } #----------------------------------------------------------- function2<-function (x, theta) {P

Dear list members, How can I replace the nested for loops at then end of the script below with more efficient code? # Begin script__________________________________________________ # Dichotomous scores for 100 respondents on 3 items with # probabilities of a correct response = .6, .4, and .7, # respectively x1 <- rbinom(100,1,.6) x2 <- rbinom(100,1,.4) x3 <- rbinom(100,1,.7) #

Dear all, I want to min "integrate( (p1*dnorm+p2*dnorm+p3*dnorm)^(1.3))" for p, mu, and sigma. So, I have to estimate 8 parameters(p3=1-p1-p2). I got this warning-"Error in integrate(numint, lower = -Inf, upper = Inf) : non-finite function value." My questions are How could I fix it? I tried to divide into several intervals and sum up, but I got same message. My code is

I am writing a small function to approximate an integral that cannot be evaluated in closed form. I am partially successful at this point and am experiencing one small, albeit important problem. Here is part of my function below. This is a psychometric problem for dichotomously scored test items where x is a vector of 1s or 0s denoting whether the respondent answered the item correctly (1) or

the version 2 parser thinks I have unnecessary braces, but I can't find any. False positive or am I missing something? If a false positive, is there any way to work around the warning? * checking Rd files against version 2 parser ...

Hello expeRts, I need generate symbolize the autocovariances matrix of a Gaussian ARMA(1,1), for derivate it and evaluate. I try this codes, but whitout sucess vacv<-NULL vacv[1]<-1-2*phi*theta-theta^2 vacv[2]<-(1-phi*theta)*(phi-theta) vacv[3:n]<-acv[2]*(phi^(1:(n-2))) facv<-list() for(i in 1:2)

Thanks to Gabor for setting me right. My code is as follows. I found it useful for learning optim(), and you might find it similarly useful. I will be most grateful if you can guide me on how to do this better. Should one be using optim() or stats4::mle? set.seed(101) # For replicability # Setup problem X <- cbind(1, runif(100)) theta.true <- c(2,3,1) y <- X

This message is about a curious difference in timing between two ways of computing the same function. One uses expm, so is expected to be a bit slower, but "a bit" turned out to be a factor of >1000. The code is below. We would be grateful if anyone can point out any egregious bad practice in our code, or enlighten us on why one approach is so much slower than the other. The problem

Hello, I want to have a title that will look something like: "Results for \theta=2.1", given that I have a variable theta=2.1, and \theta should show on the screen like the greek letter. I've tried a lot of things: theta <- 2.1 plot(1:10, main=expression(paste("Results for", theta, "=", eval(theta)))) or using bquote plot(1:10, main=paste("Results for

Hello, I have written a simple Metropolis-Hastings MCMC algorithm for a binomial parameter: MHastings = function(n,p0,d){ theta = c() theta[1] = p0 t =1 while(t<=n){ phi = log(theta[t]/(1-theta[t])) phisim = phi + rnorm(1,0,d) thetasim = exp(phisim)/(1+exp(phisim)) r = (thetasim)^4*(1-thetasim)^8/(theta[t]^4*(1-theta[t])^8) if(runif(1,0,1)<r){ theta[t+1] = thetasim }

We (the lme4 authors) are having a problem with doing a proper deep copy of a reference class object in recent versions of R-devel with the LAZY_DUPLICATE_OK flag in src/main/bind.c enabled. Apologies in advance for any improper terminology. TL;DR Is there an elegant way to force non-lazy/deep copying in our case? Is anyone else using reference classes with a field that is an external pointer?

I'm solving 4 complex equations simultaneously. Code is below. The code returns only zero's for the solution though there should also be a non-zero result. I'm pretty confident that the equations are correct because they are straight from a published paper and I checked them pretty thoroughly. The parameter values I used are from the published paper as well. Any suggestions for how

Hi, I apologize for the long message but the problem I encountered can't be stated in a few lines. I am having some problems with the function constrOptim. My goal is to maximize the likelihood of product of K multinomials, each with four catagories under linear constraints on the parameter values. I have found that the function does not work for many data configurations. #The likelihood

List: Thank you for the replies to my post yesterday. Gabor and Phil also gave useful replies on how to improve the function by relying on mapply rather than the explicit for loop. In general, I try and use the family of apply functions rather than the looping constructs such as for, while etc as a matter of practice. However, it seems the mapply function in this case is slower (in terms of CPU

Hello everyone! I am having some trouble supplying the gradient function to nlm in R for windows version 2.2.1.
