Dear colleagues, i am carrying out an ordinal regression model. I try it on SPSS but I "flirt" with R as well. I have a few questions. 1. What is the most reliable/tested/trusted package for ordinal regression in the R world? 2. Also, I have a statistical question. What is the danger of having to many 'empty cells' in ordinal regression? How many empty cells are too many? Do

Hi all, I would like to use R in order to generate a Heatmap/Choropleth overlaid on the UK map. Can someone please help with finding the right package/code? Any help is much appreciated. Best, Reza [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi guys i need some help to build choropleth. Basically i am trying to colour regions on the map by population. I possess the shape file of the country, and also the population data, however, i am having trouble to create the plot, below is my code: population=read.csv("nz2.csv") population names(population) nz=readShapeSpatial((sprintf('nz-geodetic-marks',tmp_dir)))

I have four files that map populations to appropriate keys: statepop.csv, countypop.csv, zip3.csv, and zip5.csv. I'm using the TIGER/Lines shape files: tl_2009_12_state, tl_2009_12_county tl_2009_12_zcta3, and  tl_2009_12_zcta5. I have carefully followed a number of tutorials and can reproduce those, and can also produce scatter and bubble plots of my data (using long and lat coordinates to

Dear Author and Maintainer of Hmisc contributed package, Dear R developers, i noticed a problem with histbackback routine when i installed the last version of R (2.4.1) (With my previous version, 2.3.1, there was no such a problem) If, e.g., you simply edit the command > histbackback(rnorm(20), rnorm(30)) a warning message is printed on the console. Warning messages: 1: argument

When `length( skewed.probs ) > 200' uniform samples are generated in R-devel. R-3.5.1 behaves as expected. `epsilon` can be a lot bigger than illustrated and still the uniform distribution is produced. Chuck > set.seed(123) > > epsilon <- 1e-10 > > ## uniform to 200 then small > p200 <- prop.table( rep( c(1, epsilon), c(200, 999-200))) > ## uniform to 201

Hi all, I want to put several figures in a one figure for easy comparison, so i need to use the same methods to plot these figures. The following is an example. I also list my method, but it does not work. #Example data x<- 1:10; y<- 1:10; z<- outer( x,y,"+");z2<- outer( x,y,"-") #Quick view them image.plot(x,y,z) #relatively larger value image.plot(x,y,z2)

Question: after fitting a gamma function to some data, how do I get predicted values? I'm a SAS programmer, I new R, and am having problems getting my brain to function with the concept of "object as class ...". The following is specifics of what I am doing: I'm trying to determine the pdf from data I have created in a simulation. I have generated frequency counts

Greetings R users, My goal is to generate quartile groups of each variable in my data set. I would like each experiment to have its designated group added as a subsequent column. I can accomplish this individually with the following code: brks <- with(data_variables, cut2(var2, g=4)) #I don't want the actual numbers, I need a numbered group data$test1=factor(brks,

Hi, I would like to do coloring of map regions based on the region values "weight". The approach I am taking is first to break regions into equal intervals, classIntervals(spdf$weight,4)$brks #4 intervals in this case and coloring all regions within the interval with the same color col = brewer.pal(4,"RdYlGn")) The max "weight" is as well the boundary of the

Hi all, I want to use the npudens() function in the np package (multivariate kernel density estimation), but was confused by the several functions in the following codes,expand.grid(),array(),image() and npudensbw(). This confusion will only be generated in >=3 dimensions. I marked the four places with confusion1-4. I think there should be some kind of correspondence in those four

I am making frequency histograms using the histbackback function on my 2 datasets. However when I try to use the brks function: foo<-histbackback(log(fie11), log(fie86),ylim=c(0,9),probability=FALSE,axes=TRUE,ylab=("log10 Parcel Size"),brks=16) The graphic results in a 'NA' label for the y axis (no intervals are returned) Also when I use 'summary(foo)' the

Dear all, I would like to produce a map with information about the patenting activity in German districts, by coloring districts with different degrees of patenting activity in different colors. I work with the packages maptools, maps and spdep. The map data is read from an external .shp file (+ the corresponding .shx and .dbf files). Plotting a map with the IDs or the patenting indicator itself

Basic question. For the below data, i would like to but each of the values in a bin that represents their value. So the below would hopefully put .1 in the 0-.1 bin, .2 in the .11-.2 bin and so forth. The outlying values would then be put into and outer category representing everything >1. Im using the breaks to inform some code for making a clorepleth map that represents probabilities,

I've seen a number of problems like this over the years. The fact that the singular values of the Jacobian have a ration larger than the usual convergence tolerances can mean the codes stop well before the best fit. That is the "numerical analyst" view. David and Jeff have given geometric and statistical arguments. All views are useful, but it takes some time to sort them all out and

The following code is giving me problems. I want to export densities of a distribution to a csv file. At the bottom of the code I use the hist function to generate the densities. But hist is returning values greater than 1. I don't understand, why. Any help you can supply is greatly appreciated. # Set word path dir<-"~/Research/MR Distribution Analysis/" setwd(dir)

I am not as expert as John, but I thought it worth pointing out that the variable substitution technique gives up one set of constraints for another (b=0 in this case). I also find that plots help me see what is going on, so here is my reproducible example (note inclusion of library calls for completeness). Note that NONE of the optimizers mentioned so far appear to be finding the true best

Hi all, I can not seem to get what I want using the Lattice package to generate an array of histograms of spatialgrid dataframe data. I can use the sp package and spplot to generate an array of maps that display an array of spatialgrid dataframe data -- that's good. I have:

Hello all, After more digging I was able to find out how to do this. The answer came from an example here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3541713/how-to-plot-two-histograms-together-in-r yr_1997<-data.frame(bias=ann_bias$bias1997) yr_1998<-data.frame(bias=ann_bias$bias1998) yr_1999<-data.frame(bias=ann_bias$bias1999) yr_2000<-data.frame(bias=ann_bias$bias2000)
