similar to: Fw: an ordinal regression MCMC run high correlation

I am trying to model a clusterd ordinal response data (either 1, 2 or 3) called , the correponding physician of the patient is also in the data. Since it is ordinal, I used the ordinal logit model topbox[i]~discrete with probability P[j,1],p[j,2], p[j,3], j is the corresponding physician of the ith patient C[j] is the physician effect , a1 and a1+theta is the common cutpoints for all

Hello R and BUGS users, I am writing a heirarchical model in R to send to BUGS via R2WinBUGS and I am finding it difficult to get the model to run. I seem to be having two problems. 1) I can't seem to send variables classed as factors (Month), is there a way do this? 2) Checking the Log in WinBUGS I can see that the model is Syntactically correct, but Bugs is not able to recognise the the

Hello friends and fellow R users, I have a problem to which I have been unable to find a solution: I am gathering survival data on patients undergoing treatment with a new kind of stent. I want to generate survival data and plot survival curves of these patients based (among other things) on the treating physician. My data set has been tabulated in the following manner: Date (the date the stent

Hi group, My case has N physicians with each seeing M patients. One physician could have seen a group of patients, or, a patient could have been seen by multiple number of physicians. In order words, there are overlaps. Now, I have the following NxM matrix Patient#1 Patient#2 Patient#3 ....... Patient#m Physician#1 1 0 1 ....... 0 Physician#2

Dear R users: I was trying to fit a HMM with mixture of Gaussian into the dataset, and I tried to implement it by R2Winbugs. But I got the following errer. * Error in FUN(X[[1L]], ...) : .C(..): 'type' must be "real" for this format* Does anybody know what's the problem? Does R2Winbugs accept some matrix as inits? I would really appreciate your help. Thank you very much.

Dear group, I am trying to use gamm() in mgcv. Here's the scenario. The data frame has approx. 110K observations with information on paediatric readmission binary outcome (Y/N) and total volume of their most responsible physician as the covariate. Since any physician can have multiple patients, the data contains clustering structure which I am trying to account for. My original formula is

I have an online doctor/dentist search. Right now I have all the code in one controller, with separate views and actions for the doctor and dentist. About 80% of the code in both the controller and the view is shared. Doctors and dentists are in separate tables with different (yet very similiar) schema''s. So the sql queries are different, and some of the information displayed in the

Hi: Is there a R-function that can generate samples from the posterior distribution of an ordered logistic regression model (just like MCMCoprobit from MCMCpack in R). I will greatly appreciate some guidance in this regard. Thanks Reez

I have two CentOS servers running samba3-3.0.34-37. When I connect to a samba share from my Windows 2003 R2 servers, and then try to copy a file to it, I often get the message "target filesystem does not support long filenames." Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I've been fighting this problem for 2 years. I've replaced my Windows servers, changed my Windows

There are three DCs in my Windows 2003 AD domain, but I have noticed that only one of them is referenced in my krb.conf and krb5.conf. Should there be a reference to one or two of the other domain controllers? If the DC goes down, how will my Samba/Winbind servers authenticate? -- Eric Robinson Disclaimer - February 27, 2011 This email and any files

I have a simple linear model (fitted with lm()) with 2 independant variables : one categorical and one integer. When I run summary.lm() on this model, I get a standard linear regression summary (in which one categorical variable has to be converted into many indicator variables) which looks like : Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|) (Intercept) -3595.3 2767.1 -1.299

Ok, I''m hoping this won''t be a forehead slapper, but take a look at this code: physician.name.sub(/''/, "\\''") I''m trying to substitute a single quote with a backslash and a single quote. This seems pretty simple right? Well, someone kick me and tell me why it''s not :) Here''s what I''m getting if the

> I have multiple CentOS servers running a couple versions of Samba > serving various Windows versions and I've never once ever seen > this message. Glad to hear it. That's the kind of behavior I would normally expect. One thing that might be different between our environments is that my users are all in Remote Desktop sessions connected to a pair of Windows terminal servers.

We have a lot of users on our AD domain, and the more we add the longer it takes to get a directory listing on my Linux servers. When I do 'ls -l' it might take 20 seconds before the listing starts. However, if I immediately do 'ls -l' again, it comes up quickly. I assume this is because samba/winbind is polling the AD domain controller on the first attempt. Is there any way to

We have three Windows domain controllers in our AD domain. They are DC01, DC02, and DC03. We have Linux (RHEL5 and 6) servers in the domain as well. The Linux servers are working fine with AD. However, they are currently configured in krb.conf and krb5.conf to use only DC01 for AD domain controller. if DC01 is down, Linux servers cannot authenticate. How do we configure the Linux servers to use

Our samba boxes are integrated with our Windows 2003 AD domain, with Windows servers acting as AD domain controllers. Everything is working fine, but in my krb.conf and krb5.conf files on my Linux boxes, I currently only have one Windows server specified as the AD logon server. If that server is down, I suspect that Linux users could not login. How to I specify more than one AD domain controller

Greetings, I have a FreeBSD 3.1 and Samba 2.0.5a box doing domain logons and file sharing to about 250+ desktops and upgraded about 21 days ago I have encountered something very interesting. Win9x boxes can no longer login. So , I examine the problem and it appears that things are ok but none of the things samba is supposed to be doing is happening. Again this box serves many operations on

We have about 40 samba servers in our domain. The two newest ones are throwing an error we've never seen before.

Hi, I am pretty new to Asterisk. I am trying to make sure some human being answers the phone not the voice mail machine. How can I programmatically identify that? Here is my Sub: sub DialPhysician { my ($self, $con, $PhysicianPhone, $call_id, $conv_id) = (@_); to_log($self, "Inside Dial Physician", 2); my $DocPhone = "1".
