Dear list I have a vector of values that allegedly have a bivariate normal distribution. I want to create a plot that shows the values I have obtained, and the bivariate normal distribution curve for the data. Is there a way of doing this in R?

Hi! I tested two different implementations of the robust MCD estimator: cov.mcd from the MASS package and covMcd from the rrcov package. Tests were done on the hbk dataset included in the rrcov package. Unfortunately I get quite differing results -- so the question is whether this differences are justified or an error on my side or a bug? Here is, what I did: > require(MASS) >

This is my first post requesting help to this mailing list. I am new to R. My apologies for any breach in posting etiquette. I am new to this language and just learning my way around. I am attempting to run some sample code and and am confused by the error message: Loading required package: rrcov Error in fitNorm2(fdat[, "FSC-H"], fdat[, "SSC-H"], scalefac = ScaleFactor) :

Hello, I'm using the R-2.13.1 version in Windows and I'm trying to do a robust Pca with the following: x<-matrix(0.5,30,30) library("rrcov") y<-PcaCov(x) The following error occurs: Error: diff(sv)<0 ist not all TRUE The same error occurs with the other functions. What does this mean and how can I perform the robust PCA with these functions by using a quadratic

When I install an R package with cpp codes such as rrcov via CRAN (under R 3.1.1, using no Makevars file and under Ubuntu 14.04 using GCC 4.8), the cpp code is compiled with the -o3 flag (in fact, looking at the Makeconf file this seem to again be the default since R 3.1.1) But when I install my own package via CRAN it is compiled with the -o2 flag. My questions are what is causing my

[Env: R 2.14.2 / Win Xp] In the script below, I want to select some variables from rrcov::OsloTransect, delete cases with any missing data, and subset the data frame Oslo to remove cases for two levels of the factor litho that occur with low frequency. The checks I run on my new data frame Oslo look OK, but I when I try to fit a multivariate linear model with lm(), I am getting an error:

Hello, I am using sm.density() to find the bivariate joint PDFof events: For eg, x<-cbind(rnorm(30),rnorm(30)) den<-sm.density(x) Then I get the joint pdf from den$estimate in order to constructthe joint cumulative PDF. However, summing up all the values from den$estimateisnot equal to 1(have multipliedby the grid size). Anyone could help? Thanks. mc [[alternative HTML version

hello, i am so glad to write you. i am dealing now with writing my M.Sc in Applied Statistics thesis, titled " Data Mining Classifiers and Predictive Models Validation and Evaluation". I am planning to compare several DM classifiers like "NN, kNN, SVM, Dtree, and Naïve Bayes" according to their Predicting accuracy, interpretability, scalability, and time consuming etc. I have

Hi, I am using robust regression, i.e. model.robust<-ltsreg(MXD~ORR,data=DATA). My question:- is there any way to determine the Robust Multiple R-Squared (as returned in the summary output in splus)? I found an equivalent model in the rrcov package which included R-square, residuals etc in it's list of components, but when I used this package the only results returned were equivalent to

Dear all, I have a bivariate dataset from a preliminary study. I want to do two things: (1) estimate the probability density of this bivariate distribution using some nonparametric method (kernel, spline etc); (2) sample a big dataset from this bivariate distribution for a simulation study. Is there any good method or package I can use in R for my work? I don?t want parametric models like

Am trying to do some study on bivariate binomial distribution. Anyone knows if there is package in R that I can use to calculate the density function of bivariate binomial distribution and to generate random samples of it.

Any one know is there any package or function to generate bivariate exponential distribution? I gusee there should be three parameters, two rate parameters and one correlation parameter. I just did not find any function available on R. Any suggestion is appreciated. -- View this message in context:

Hello all!!! 1) I am wondering is there a way to generate random numbers in R for Bivariate Uniform distribution? 2) Does R have  built-in function for generating random numbers for any given bivariate distribution.

Hello, I'm quite new with R and so I would like to know if there is a command to calculate an integral. In particular I simulated a bivariate normal distribution using these simple lines: rbivnorm <- function(n, # sample size mux, # expected value of x muy, # expected value of Y sigmax, # standard deviation of

Hello, I have used the univariate Ripley K function in R, but does anyone know if there is a bivariate function built in? I have two species that I am dealing with. Also, how might I add error bars into the graphs (univariate and/or bivariate)?

Hi, I woul like to know if it is possible to have a "R code" to generate EM Algorithm for a normal bivariate mixture. Best regard, S.F.

Hi.., is there a function in R to fit bivariate splines ? I came across 'polymars' (POLSPLINE) and 'mars' (mda) packages. Are these the one to use or are there other specific commands? Thanks. Harsh

Respected R Users, I looking for help with generating theoretical confidence regions for any of non-symmetric bivariate statistical distributions (bivariate Chi-squared distribution<Wishart distribution>, bivariate F-distribution, or any of the others). I want to to used it as a benchmark to compare a few strategies constructing confidence regions for non-symmetric bivariate data. There is

Hi: I am using the package "KernSmooth" to do the local polynomial regression. However, it seems the function "locpoly" can only deal with univariate covaraite. I wonder is there any kernel smoothing package in R can deal with bivariate covariates? I also checked the package "lcofit" in which function "lcofit" can indeed deal with bivariate case. The
