Hi All, What do you consider to be the best book(reference) on nonparametric regression? I am currently reading the book of Kunio Takezawa(2006): "Introduction to nonparametric regression". Is the book of Hardle(1990): "Applied nonparametric regression" better? or maybe another book? This is off topic, but most of the books is using R or S-plus. Thanks Hennie

Hello all, I'm a relatively new user of R, having mostly used it only for plotting so far. I'm also not very familiar with regression methods, hence forgive my greenness on the topic. What I want to do in R is multivariate nonparametric regression, with a slight hitch. From my experimental data I have a multitude of samples whose values approximate a function `f' that is defined

Dear all, I'm running a set of nonparametric MDS analyses, using a wrapper for isoMDS, on a 800x800 distance matrix. I noticed that setting the parameter k to larger numbers seriously increases the calculation time. Actually, with k=10 it calculates already longer than for k=2 and k=5 together. It's now calculating for 6 hours, and counting... There is quite a difference between the

Dear R experts, I wrote already a couple of weeks ago but did not get any reply. Therefore I'll rephrase my question and hope some of you can give me some answers or some advice where better to look for an answer. In general I'm looking for information on how to program functions using formulas in order to write a nonparametric multivariate regression function with possible

Sir, I want to draw random from any multivariate disrtibution. Is there any function in R to do this? Regards, Suman Dhara [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Sir, I am working on fitting distribution on multivariate financial data and then simulate observations from that fitted distribution. I use stepAIC.ghyp() function of 'ghyp' library which select the best fitted distribution from generalized hyperbolic distribution class on the given dataset. data(indices) # Multivariate case: aic.mv <- stepAIC.ghyp(indices, dist =

Sorry if this subject has been already dealt here. Which are some common tests for nonparametric k-way ANOVA? I have read about Kruskal-Wallis test as a kind of nonparametric one-way ANOVA, but I have not found anything about a general-setting (I mean k-way) nonparametric ANOVA. Can you recommend me a good R package (or other reliable software) for that? Looking forward to your answers, --

Dear UseRs: Recently, I have read an article regarding the association between age and lymph node metastases. http://jco.ascopubs.org/content/27/18/2931.long In statistical analysis, the authors stated "Because a nonlinear relationship between age and lymph node involvement was expected based on existing literature, lymph node involvement was also regressed on age using nonparametric

Hi all, I'd like to compare species richness patterns of two groups with paired observations with an extra continuous fixed effect as a covariate. Normally I would use a standard general mixed effect model for such data, with one group variable and a continuous variable as fixed effects, plus a random effect for the paired observations. However, after making such a model with the lme

Hello! For comparing two non-normally distributed samples, Leech (2002) suggested to report nonparametric effect size indices, such as Vargha & Delaney's A or Cliff's d. I tried to search the R-sites, but could not find related procedures or packages that include nonparametric effect sizes. Thank you for your help! Citation: Leech (2002). A call for greater use of nonparametric

Dear R users, A new package titled `np' is now available from CRAN. The package implements recently developed kernel methods that seamlessly handle the mix of continuous, unordered, and ordered factor datatypes often found in applied settings. The package also allows users to create their own nonparametric/semiparametric routines using high-level function calls (via the function npksum())

Im developing an application with R and Gtk+. It's just a simple GUI which helps new users to interactuate with R. Thing is, when you do a statistical analysis, I also want to provide a HTML report, but HTMLStart doesnt work propperly when executing from TinnR. It does create the file but not empty, I've tried some examples from different websites, and it's always the same.. it works

Hi, I have seen a discussion in the R-help asking whether nonparametric manova has been implemented in R yet. This discussion is form March 2006 and there seemed to be no package or function implemented at the time. Has this changed? Is there a package that provides nonparametric manova as in McArdle and Anderson (2001) and Anderson (2001) now? Thanks, Daniel ------------------------- cuncta

I've been looking for ways to calculate a large number (100) of non-crossing Nonparametric quantile regressions on large populations (1000+). Can the quantreg package in R ensure the non-crossing property? If not, do you know any alternative? Thank you, Paulbegc -- View this message in context:

My interpretation of the relation between 1-way ANOVA and Wilcoxon's test (wilcox.test() in R) is the following. 1-way ANOVA is to test if two or multiple distributions are the same, assuming all the distributions are normal and have equal variances. Wilcoxon's test is to test two distributions are the same without assuming what their distributions are. In this sense, I'm wondering

Dear all, Does anybody know how to get more evaluation points in performing Nonparametric analysis of repeated measurements data with "sm" library. The following command gives the estimation for 50 points, by I would like to increase to 100 points But I do not know how to do that. library(sm) provide.data(citrate, options=list(describe=FALSE)) provide.data(dogs,

I am trying to do a Nonparametric Tukey-type multiple comparison post-hoc test to determine which groups are significantly different. I have read the dialogue on this topic from the R-help, and am still not clear why no statistical packages include this test as an option? Is it not an appropriate test to conduct on non-normally distributed data? Is the only option to calculate it by hand

Dear useRs is there any nonparametric test for the analysis of variance in a design with two within-factors (repeated measures on both factors)? Friedman is not appropriate here, therefore I am grateful for any alternative test. thanks for any hint cheers christoph --

I am wondering if there is any package in R that can fit a nonparametric regression model with monotone constraints on the fitted results. --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
