Hi, I have collected data on trees from 5 forest plots located within the same landscape. Data within the plots are spatially autocorrelated (calculated using Moran's I). I would like to do a ANCOVA type of analysis combining these five plots, but the assumption that there is no autocorrelation in the residuals is obviously violated. Does anyone have any ideas how to incorporate these spatial

Hi, I have recently used the CTS package in order to use the Lomb-Scargle periodogram (spec.ls) function. I have noticed an issue that I hoped you may be able to explain. If a regularly spaced time series has two points removed, one at either side of a single data point (thus making an irregularly spaced time series), a spectrum with a very large peak at the highest frequencies is produced. An

Hi, I apologise in advance for the na?ve question. I have large matrices that I want to plot. I currently use color2D.matplot. However, these matrices contain many values of no interest (i.e. where there is no data, the figure -999 is automatically displayed). Is there any way of removing these from the matrices to be plotted by matplot? An obvious possibility is setting them all to 0, but that

Hi, I have spatially autocorrelated data (with a binary response variable and continuous predictor variables). I believe I need to do an autologistic model, does anyone know a method for doing this in R? Many thanks C Bell

Hi, I am looking at the effects of two explanatory variables on chlorophyll. The data are an annual time-series (so are autocorrelated) and the relationships are non-linear. I want to account for autocorrelation in my model. The model I am trying to use is this: Library(mgcv) gam1 <-gam(Chl~s(wintersecchi)+s(SST),family=gaussian, na.action=na.omit, correlation=corAR1(form =~

Dear all: Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make a spatially explicit landscape with spatial autocorrelation in R? In other words, a landscape where all cells have a spatial reference, and the environment values that are closer in space are more similar (positive spatial autocorrelation). Thank you, Laura

Dear R users, someone knows how to remove auto-correlation from a frequencies time series? I've tried by differencing (lag 1) the cumulative series (in order to have only positive numbers) , but I can't remove all auto-correlation. If it's useful I can send my db. x <- # autocorrelated series new1<-cumsum(x) new2<-diff(new1,lag=1,differences = 1) acf(new2) #

Hi R-fellows, I am trying to simulate a multivariate correlated sample via the Gaussian copula method. One variable is a binary variable, that should be autocorrelated. The autocorrelation should be rho = 0.2. Furthermore, the overall probability to get either outcome of the binary variable should be 0.5. Below you can see the R code (I use for simplicity a diagonal matrix in rmvnorm even if it

Hello List, I am not sure that I have the correct terminology here (restricted bootstrap) which may be hampering my archive searches. I have quite a large spatially autocorrelated data set. I have xy coordinates and the corresponding pairwise distance matrix (metres) for each row. I would like to randomly sample some number of rows but restricting samples such that the distance between them is

Hi Everyone, I am trying to do a time series regression using the lm function. However, according to the durbin watson test the errors are autocorrelated. And then I tried to use the gls function to accomodate for the autocorrelated errors. My question is how do I know what ARMA process (order) to use in the gls function? Or is there any other way to do the time series regression in R? I highly

Howdy All, I am looking for some good tutorials (books, websites, whatever) for calculating/testing for Spatial Autocorrelation using R. Specifically, I am wanting to test for autocorrelation of a number of variables measured at a set of discrete locations. Up to this point I have been exploring the "spdep" package and I can get "moran.test" to work, but I am concerned that

Hi there, I am using gls from the nlme library to fit an AR(1) regression model. I am wondering if (and how) I can separate the auto-correlated and random components of the residuals? Id like to be able to plot the fitted values + the autocorrelated error (i.e. phi * resid(t-1)), to compare with the observed values. I am also wondering how I might go about calculating confidence (or

Hello folks, I have some data where spatial autocorrelation seems to be a serious problem, and I'm unclear on how to deal with it in R. I've tried to do my homework - read through 'The R Book,' use the online help in R, search the internet, etc. - and I still have some unanswered questions. I'd greatly appreciate any help you could offer. The super-super short explanation is

Hi, I am trying to learn time series, and I am attending a colleague's course on Econometrics. However, he uses e-views, and I use R. I am trying to reproduce his examples in R, but I am having problems specifying a AR(1) model. Would anyone help me with my code? Thanks in advance! Reproducible code follows: download.file("https://sites.google.com/a/proxima.adm.br/main/ex_32.csv

Hi, I have fitted a model using a glm() approach and using a gls() approach (but without correcting for spatially autocorrelated errors). I have noticed that although these models are the same (as they should be), the AIC value differs between glm() and gls(). Can anyone tell me why they differ?

Hello, I'm a newby in R. I have created a data.frame holding panel data, with the following columns: "id","time","y", say: periods = 100 numcases = 100 df = data.frame( id = rep(1:numcases,periods), time = rep(1:periods, each = numcases) ) df = transform(df,y=c(rnorm(numcases*periods)+id) I want to check whether "y" is autocorrelated. I came across

Hi I have some panel data for the 50 US states over about 25 years, and I would like to test a simple model via OLS, using this data. I know how to run OLS in R, and I think I can see how to create Panel Corrected Standard Errors using http://jackman.stanford.edu/classes/350C/pcse.r What I can't figure out is how to correct for autocorrelation over time. I have found a lot of R stuff on

Hello, I am attending a course in Computational Statistics at ETH and in one of the assignments I am asked to prove that a time series is not autocorrelated using the R function "acf". I tried out the acf function with the given data, according to what I found here: http://landshape.org/enm/options-for-acf-in-r/ this test data does not look IID but rather shows some trends so how can I

I have been reading about autocorrelation in linear models over the last couple of days, and I have to say the more I read, the more confused I get. Beyond confusion lies enlightenment, so I'm tempted to ask R-Help for guidance. Most authors are mainly worried about autocorrelation in the residuals, but some authors are also worried about autocorrelation within Y and within X vectors

Hi. I'm trying to perform what should be a reasonably basic analysis of some spatial presence/absence data but am somewhat overwhelmed by the options available and could do with a helpful pointer. My researches so far indicate that if my data were normal, I would simply use gls() (in nlme) and one of the various corSpatial functions (eg. corSpher() to be analagous to similar analysis in SAS)
