Generate random variate from a non-parametric hazard function
Hi I have estimated a hazard function using a kernel based method. Now i have to generate a random variate that follows this hazard function. Does any one know method I should use to generate the variate.

sem (lisrel) - starting problems
Hi, (1.) How is it possible to get automatic a "lower triangle of correlation matrix" ? h.cor <- cor(dat,use="pairwise.complete.obs") zz <- lower.tri(h.cor,diag=T) ### that's not what i wish and "wrong" ? results <- matrix(unlist(h.cor[upper.tri(h.cor,diag=T)])) results <- matrix(unlist(h.cor[upper.tri(h.cor,diag=T)]),5) Must i take the lowest

GLM/GAM and unobserved heterogeneity
Hello, I'm interested in correcting for and measuring unobserved heterogeneity ("missing variables") using R. In particular, I'm searching for a simple way to measure the amount of unobserved heterogeneity remaining in a series of increasingly complex models (adding additional variables to each new model) on the same data. I have a static database of 400,000 or

Help with SEM package: Error message
Hello. I started using the sem package in R and after a lot of searching and trying things I am still having difficulty. I get the following error message when I use the sem() function: Warning message: In sem.default(ram = ram, S = S, N = N, param.names = pars, var.names = vars, : Could not compute QR decomposition of Hessian.

Migration?
I just installed ruby, lighttpd, and mysql from darwinports on me laptop in lieu of the Apple version of ruby. Now when I fire up my rails application, it''s not running lighttpd anymore -- it''s running webrick. It also exits immediately. MySQL is running, the database and tables are restored from the backup. What step am I missing? Thanks for the help! Cheers, Hasan

Engines question
I would like to get at all models in a rails application to be able to add a field to every one of them as part of a migration. Something like the following: Appmodels.each { |x| add_column x.table_name.to_s, :foo, :text } I understand I can get the table name using ActiveRecord::Base#table_name, but how do I get all the models into an array that I can use in the above manner? -- Cheers, Hasan

Ferret -- Search Partial?
I''d like to implement the search capabilities of Ferret and am looking for sample code to see how it''s done. I''m thinking my controller creates the index when "Search" is clicked and a partial is rendered. What is this partial supposed to look like? Is it built in to rails/Ferret? Thanks for the help!

Music on Hold
Hello Yesterday, i brought linksys PAP2 and have success with that. The only thing that does not go well is the music on hold. When i press 'hold' button from the telephone set instead of playing the music on hold that i have setup in Asterisk, Telephone Set plays its own MOH. Is there any way to tackle this issue.

Using nlm or optim
Hello, I am trying to use nlm to estimate the parameters that minimize the following function: Predict<-function(M,c,z){ + v = c*M^z + return(v) + } M is a variable and c and z are parameters to be estimated. I then write the negative loglikelihood function assuming normal errors: nll<-function(M,V,c,z,s){ n<-length(Mean) logl<- -.5*n*log(2*pi) -.5*n*log(s) -

Fwd: RE: Query regarding LDAP
Hi All, We currently have our AD on Windows Server 2008 setup to work with Samba as a file share. I noticed on our event logs in Windows that we are getting warnings about a client performing LDAP binds without signing or using clear text LDAP. After enabling the logging for LDAP i have found this to be our Samba server performing these requests. I know how to solve the issue so that our

problems with optim, "for"-loops and machine precision
Dear R experts, I have been encountering problems with the "optim" routine using "for" loops. I am determining the optimal parameters of several nested models by minimizing the negative Log-Likelihood (NLL) of a dataset. The aim is to find the model which best describes the data. To this end, I am simulating artificial data sets based on the model with the least number

Modelling an "incomplete Poisson" distribution ?
Dear list, I have the following problem : I want to model a series of observations of a given hospital activity on various days under various conditions. among my "outcomes" (dependent variables) is the number of patients for which a certain procedure is done. The problem is that, when no relevant patient is hospitalized on said day, there is no observation (for which the "number

problems with loop
Dear all, I am trying to evaluate the optimisation behaviour of a function. Originally I have optimised a model with real data and got a set of parameters. Now I am creating simulated data sets based on these estimates. With these simulations I am estimating the parameters again to see how variable the estimation is. To this end I have written a loop which should generate a new simulated data

scaling constant in optim("L-BFGS-B")
Hi all, I am trying to find estimates for 7 parameters of a model which should fit real data. I have a function for the negative log likelihood (NLL) of the data. With optim(method="L-BFGS-B",lower=0) I am now minimizing the NLL to find the best fitting parameters. My problem is that the algorithm does not converge for certain data sets. I have read that one should scale the fn

finite mixture model (or latent class)
Dear Listers, My post might be somewhat OT. Currently, I am trying to use flexmix to build a finite mixture model. For instance, I am getting the prior probability and coefficients for each latent class from training data. Is there a way to get the posterior probablity and prediction of a new dataset? What I am thinking is to apply the prior prob and coefficient from training set to testing data
