Greetings, I would like to flexibly combine several data frames objects without specifying the exact names of the objects in memory. Should I use indexing to call those objects out of memory? I regularly use indexes to flexibly extract parts of data frames and lists and to read files from my hard drive, but I can't figure out how to do so with stored objects. In my case, all of the data

Greetings, I am using library(survey) to analyze some complex sample data. After fitting a model I tried to use termplot() with make.panel.svysmooth(), but I received an error (see below). Could someone help me interpret the error message so I can make the necessary corrections? The make.panel.svysmooth() function seems to work fine, and termplot() worked fine after I dropped the smoother.

Hello, I have a little problem about degree of freedom in R. if you can help me, I will be happy. I used nlme?function to analyze my data and run the linear mixed effects model in R. I did the linear mixed effect analysis in SAS?and SPSS as well. However, R gave?the different degrees of freedom than SAS?and SPSS did. Can you help me to learn what the reason is to obtain different degrees of

I have been using the hetcor function in the polycor package. When I don't specify the use option everything runs smoothly. However, when I specify use either as "pairwise.complete.obs" or "complete.obs" I get this error Error in optim(rho, f, control = control, hessian = TRUE, method = "BFGS") : non-finite value supplied by optim Is this an error in

Hello R Users, While I have attempted to dig into the R help files and I have not identified the answer to these questions, I apologize in advance if my questions were answered in the past. I also recognize that one of my questions unfortunately verges on statistical rather than code territory. I have two rather unrelated questions about using the sem and polycor packages for a relatively

I am currently working with R's polycor package and I have encountered a problem. I tried to follow the steps as outlined in the sem.pdf file where a CFA model is run using polychoric correlations. Every time I run the command sem(model, data, N=.), I get the following warning message: Warning message: In if (orthogonal) { : the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be

Hello, I am running polychoric correlations on a dataset composed of 12 ordinal and binary variables (N =384), using the polycor package. One of the association (between 2 dichotomous variables) is very high using the 2-step estimate (0.933 when polychoric run only between the two variables; but 0.801 when polychoric run on the 12 variables). The same correlation run with ML estimate returns a

I hope someone here knows the answer to this since it will save me from delving deep into documentation. Based on 22 pairs of vectors, I have noticed that tetrachoric correlation coefficients in stata are almost uniformly higher than those in R, sometimes dramatically so (TCC=.61 in stata, .51 in R; .51 in stata, .39 in R). Stata's estimate is higher than R's in 20 out of 22

Hi there, Am I correct to believe that tetrachoric correlation is a special case of polychoric correlation when there are only two levels to the ordered factor? Thus it should be okay to use hetcor from the polycor package to build a matrix of correlations for binary variables? If this is true, how can one estimate 95% confidence intervals for the correlations? My guess would be mat =

Dear gavin, I think that it's likely that Jim meant the hetcor() function in the polycor package.

Hi, I would like to use the sem package to perform a path analysis (no latent variables) with a mixture of 2 nominal exogenous, 1 continuous exogenous, and 4 continuous endogenous variables. I seek advice as to how to calculate the appropriate covariance matrix for use with the sem package. I have read through the polycor package, and am confused as to the use of "numeric" for

Hi all, For computational reasons, I need to estimate an 18x18 polychoric correlation matrix two variables at a time (rather than trying to estimate them all simultaneously using ML). The resulting polychoric correlation matrix I am getting is non-positive definite, which is problematic because I'm using this matrix later on as if it were a legitimately estimated correlation matrix (in order

Hello, It has been found that SEM analysis using polychoric correlations + maximum likelihood estimator produces incorrect test statistics and standard errors (e.g., Flora, D. B., & Curran, P. J. (2004). An Empirical Evaluation of Alternative Methods of Estimation for Con?rmatory Factor Analysis With Ordinal Data. Psychological Methods, 9(4), 466-491). Standard errors can be dealt with by

I am doing Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on assets data for household income prediction. The problem is that the assets data are rank ordered (usually binary ... possess car/don't possess car), so the normal correlation is inappropriate for the calculation of the PCA. Instead one has to use the polychoric correlation coefficient. It uses the "random.polychor.pa" package.
