tensor product of equi-spaced B-splines in the unit square
Dear all, I need to compute tensor product of B-spline defined over equi-spaced break-points. I wrote my own program (it works in a 2-dimensional setting) library(splines) # set the break-points Knots = seq(-1,1,length=10) # number of splines M = (length(Knots)-4)^2 # short cut to splineDesign function bspline = function(x) splineDesign(Knots,x,outer.ok = T) # bivariate tensor product of

Troubles plotting lrm output in Design Library
Dear R-helpers, I'm having a problem in using plot.design in Design Library. Tho following example code produce the error: > n <- 1000 # define sample size > set.seed(17) # so can reproduce the results > age <- rnorm(n, 50, 10) > blood.pressure <- rnorm(n, 120, 15) > cholesterol <- rnorm(n, 200, 25) > sex <-

mle2(): logarithm of negative pdfs
Hi, In order to use the mle2-function, one has to define the likelihood function itself. As we know, the likelihood function is a sum of the logarithm of probability density functions (pdf). I have implemented myself the pdfs that I am using. My problem is, that the pdfs values are negative and I cann't take the logarithm of them in the log-likelihood function. So how can one take the

Replace NAs in a range of data frame columns
Dear all, I'm stuck in a seemingly trivial task that I need to perform for many datasets. Basically, I want to replace NA with 0 in a specified range of columns in a dataframe. I know the first and last column to be recoded only by its name. I can select the columns starting like this a[match('first',names(a)): match('last',names(a))] The question is how can replace all NA

How to simulate heteroscedasticity (correlation)
Hi, I would like to generate two correlated variables. I found that funktion for doing that: a <- rmvnorm(n=10000,mean=c(20,20),sigma=matrix(c(5,0.8*sqrt(50), 0.8*sqrt(50),10),2,2)) (using library(mvtnorm)) Now I also want to generate two correlated variables where the error variance vary over the variable-correlation. And I want to plot this for showing heteroscedasticity. Like shown

Reversing axis label order
Dear R Users, I am executing the following command to produce a line graph: matplot(aggregate_1986[,1], aggregate_1986[,2:3], type="l", col=2:3) On the x-axis I have values of Latitude (in column 1) ranging from -60 to +80 (left to right on the x-axis). However, I wish to have these values shown in reverse on the x-axis, going from +80 to -60 (ie. North to South in terms of Latitude).

sequential sum of a vector...
Hi R, Let, x=1:80 I want to sum up first 8 elements of x, then again next 8 elements of x, then again another 8 elements..... So, my new vector should look like: c(36,100,164,228,292,356,420,484,548,612) I used: aggregate(x,list(rep(1:10,each=8)),sum)[-1] or rowsum(x,group=rep(1:10,each=8)) But without grouping, can I achieve the required? Any other ways of doing

corrgram (package corrgram): how to plot multiple correlograms in the same page?
Hello, I am trying to plot a few correlograms on the same figure, with the function corrgram() from the package corrgram. However, the function does not seem to use the base graphic system, as setting out the multiple figure layout with, e.g., par(mfrow=c(2, 2,)) does not work. Does anybody know a workaround for this?

Repeated-measures anova with a within-subject covariate (or varying slopes random-effects?)
Dear all, I am having quite a hard time in trying to figure out how to correctly spell out a model in R (a repeated-measures anova with a within-subject covariate, I guess). Even though I have read in the posting guide that statistical advice may or may not get an answer on this list, I decided to try it anyway, hoping not to incur in somebody's ire for misusing the tool.

a question about spatial autocorrelation in R
Dear all, I am currently facing a problem related to the spatial autocorrelation of a sample of stations; these stations supply weekly data for a fixed time-window during the year (namely, 4-6 months per year). For this reason I'm trying to use the R package 'spdep' (specifically Moran's I) in order to get rid of it. Does anyone know how is it possible (if it is...) to
