similar to: Cubic B-spline, how to numerically integrate?

I am trying to apply methods used by Chaloupka & Limpus (1997) ( http://www.int-res.com/articles/meps/146/m146p001.pdf) to my own turtle growth data. I am having trouble with two things... 1) After the GAM is fit, the residuals are skewed. >m1 <- gam(growth~s(mean.size, bs="cr")+s(year,bs="cr",k=7)+s(cohort,bs="cr")+s(age,bs="cr"), data=grow,

Hi, I want to audit some files on content and planned to do this with puppet filebucket. Lets say for example that I have a list of audit_files as a parameter from puppet dashboard with a list of files to audit. Output from ENC for this particular parameter: audit_files: "[\"/etc/passwd\",\"/etc/resolv.conf\", \"/tmp/mawi\",

I'm new to all this Linux stuff and looking to download Wine. Is there a version that I should choose for Limpus?

I recently (a few weeks ago) installed 1.9.18p8 in order to get better performance with an Access Database, which along with adding a TCP_NODELAY in the [global] section has that working like a charm. Thing that's bugging me now is smbstatus. When I run it I see open files listed when I know that they aren't. The following output shows quite a few files open that aren't really. The

Today I tried to install the R-2.5.0 (currently running R-2.4.1) on Mandriva Linux. The ./configure and make commands seem to run fine, but "make check" gives the following messages: running regression tests make[3]: Entering directory `/home/ethomp04/R-2.5.0/tests' running code in 'reg-tests-1.R' ...make[3]: *** [reg-tests-1.Rout] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory

I need some guidance from someone who is familiar/has some experience with the survey package. The data that I am using is from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (www.meps.ahrq.gov <http://www.meps.ahrq.gov/> ). The STRATA and PSU variables are varstr01 and varpsu01 respectively. When I try to specify them with the svydesign function I get an error message. An excerpt of my session

I want to report the progress of my attempts to get R running on HP-UX with gcc: Firstly, I could work around the PIC problem by leaving out all the lib stuff (I rebuilt gcc with --enable-share, but this (alone) did not help), e.g. the line gcc -shared -fPIC -o ctest.sl ansari.o fexact.o kendall.o ks.o prho.o swilk.o -L/usr/local/lib -lg2c -lm -L/lib/pa1.1 -L/usr/lib/pa1.1 -u main

I've installed ADAM interactive anatomy 4.0 on Ubuntu using wine 1.1.6 and winetricks to install dot net 1.1. ADAM is a dot net application. After installation and offline activation (online fails), the application starts, but gives the error: Code: System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: Int32 SkySoftware.FileViewControl.FileView.get_SelectedCount(). at a.a.c.a.a.h.b() at

I fit a GAM to turtle growth data using mgcv: >m1 <- gam(growth~s(mean.size, bs="cr")+s(year,bs="cr",k=7)+s(cohort,bs="cr")+s(age,bs="cr"), data=grow, family=quasi(link="identity")) The errors are skewed (and seem to be correlated with age) (code and plots here:

Hi, I have installed wine on Mandrake 8.1 (the RPM from the Mandrake CD), fixed the ~/.wine/config file (man wine.conf) but the wine still does not work. If I run what-ever application it does nothing, if I leave it long enough, it displays this.... [mypc]#wine notepad err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection Critical section 0x4011a610 wait timed out, retrying (60 sec) fs=024f

I would like to remove rows from the following data frame (df) if there are only two specific elements found in the df$ch character string (I want to remove rows with only "0" & "D" or "0" & "d"). Alternatively, I would like to remove rows if the first non-zero element is "D" or "d".

I have a question about the basis functions of cubic regression spline in mgcv. Are there some ways I can get the exact forms of the basis functions and the penalty matrix that are used in mgcv? Thanks in advance! Yan [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi Users, I want to fit the maximums of a data series with a cubic spline. How do I go about this in R. I failed to figure out how I can use the mgcv library to do this. Thanks ---------------------------- ZABLONE

Hello,        Dr. Simon Wood told me how to force a cubic spline passing through a point. The code is as following. Anyone  who knows how I can change the code to force the first derivative to be certain value. For example, the first derivative of the constrained cubic spline equals 2 at point (0, 0.6).        I really appreciate your help!        Thanks!                 Best             Victor   

I'm trying to use R to determine the quality of a cubic Bezier curve approximation of an elliptical arc. I know the four control points and I want to compute (x,y) coordinates of many points on the curve. I can't find anything in either the base distribution or CRAN that does this; all the spline-related packages seem to be about *fitting* piecewise Bezier curves to a data set.

Hi, all I am trying to get the basis matrix and penalty matrix for natural cubic splines. In the "splines" package of R,"ns" can generate the B-spline basis matrix for a natural cubic spline. How can I get the basis matrix and penalty matrix for natural cubic spline. Thanks a lot! Lee [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
