similar to: how to get higher derivatives with "deriv"

Dear everyone, the following is obviously used to compute the nth derivative, which seems to work (deriv(sqrt(1 - x^2),x,n)) However, before using this, I wanted to make sure it does what I think it does but can't figure it out when reading the ?deriv info or any other documentation on deriv for that matter: deriv(expr, namevec, function.arg = NULL, tag = ".expr", hessian = FALSE,

Hi, 2 questions: Question 1: example of what I currently do: for(i in 1:6){sink("temp.txt",append=TRUE) dput(i+0) sink()} x=scan(file="temp.txt") print(prod(x)) file.remove("C:/R-2.5.0/temp.txt") But how to convert the output of the loop to a vector that I can manipulate (by prod or sum etc), without having to write and append to a file? Question 2: >

Hello, I am trying to construct two matrices, F and V, composed of partial derivatives and then find the eigenvalues of F*Inverse(V). I have the following equations in ryacas notation: > library(Ryacas) > FIh <- Expr("betah*Sh*Iv") > FIv <- Expr("betav*Sv*Ih") > VIh <- Expr("(muh + gamma)*Ih") > VIv <- Expr("muv*Iv") I

Hi, Suppose I have an arbitrary function: arbfun<-function(x) {...} Is there a robust implementation of a numerical derivative routine in R which I can use to take it's derivative ? Something a bit more than simple division by delta of the difference of evaluating the function at x and x+delta... Perhaps there is a way to do this using D or deriv but I could not figure it out.

The issue is that without an extensible derivative table or the proposed extensions, it is not possible to automatically produce (without manual modification of the deriv3 output) a function that avoids catastrophic cancellation regardless of the working range. Manual modification is not onerous as a one-time exercise, but can be time consuming when it must be done numerous times, for example

The derivative table resides in the function D. In S+ that table is extensible because it is written in the S language. R is faster but less flexible, since that table is programmed in C. It would be useful if R provided a mechanism for extending the derivative table, or barring that, provided a broader table. Currently unsupported mathematical functions of one argument include expm1, log1p,

Hi, Trying this: deriv(expression(sum(x)), "x") Gives the error message: Function 'sum' is not in the derivatives table I'd like to add it, is this difficult? If not, where is the derivatives table? However, give how basic "sum" is, I suspect it would have been added if it were straightforward. Do functions in the derivatives table need to be

Quick question: Which function do you use to calculate partial derivatives from a model equation? I've looked at deriv(), but think it gives derivatives, not partial derivatives. Of course my equation isn't this simple, but as an example, I'm looking for something that let's you control whether it's a partial or not, such as: somefunction(y~a+bx, with respect to x,

Dear All, I tried following for getting derivative of a polynomial in R i<- -10:10 x<-i*i*i+3*i*i+2 fun_spline<-splinefun(i,x) plot(x,type="l") lines(x,fx_spline(x, deriv=1), col='green') lines(x,fx_spline(x, deriv=2), col='green') Now when I plot 3*i*i + 6*i and 6*i + 6 the plot was not same for first deivative. where as the 2nd derivative was same Is this a

Dear list, Hi, I am trying to get the second derivative of a logistic formula, in R summary the model is given as : ### >$nls >Nonlinear regression model >model: data ~ logistic(time, A, mu, lambda, addpar) >data: parent.frame() > A mu lambda >0.53243 0.03741 6.94296 ### but I know the formula used is #

Dear R users, I would like to express a function (with only one argument) as the integrate of its derivate. For example, for y=x^2, I would like something like integrate(deriv(~x^2,"x", function(x) NULL, formal=T),0,2) which would give me... 4.

Dear expeRts, I would like to create a plotmath-label of the form X_1^\prime. Here is how to *not* do it [not nicely aligned symbols]: plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X*minute[1]))) plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X[1]*minute))) plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X)[1]*minute)) Any suggestions? Cheers, Marius

Hello, I have been trying to take the derivative of a quadratic B-spline obtained by using the COBS library. What I would like to do is similar to what one can do by using fit<-smooth.spline(cdf) xx<-seq(-10,10,.1) predict(fit, xx, deriv = 1) The goal is to fit the spline to data that is approximating a cumulative distribution function (e.g. in my example, cdf is a 2-column matrix with x

Hi, I'm fitting a standard nonlinear model to the luminances measured from the red, green and blue guns of a TV display, using nls. The call is: dd.nls <- nls(Lum ~ Blev + beta[Gun] * GL^gamm, data = dd, start = st) where st was initally estimated using optim() st $Blev [1] -0.06551802 $beta [1] 1.509686e-05 4.555250e-05 7.322720e-06 $gamm [1] 2.511870 This works fine but I

is there a way of estimating derivative curves, similar to the ones we get from 'locpoly', from 'loess' estimation. i am interested in estimation of 1st and 2nd derivatives... --------------------------------- [[alternate HTML version deleted]]

UseRs, We are using projection matrices in demographic analyses, and one technique is to calculate partial derivatives of a matrix with respect to a variable appearing in one or more of its elements. For example, consider the matrix A: | a*b a*c | | d d | If I'm not mistaken, the partial derivative of matrix A w/ respect to variable 'a' is the matrix: | b c | | 0 0

Try something like with(df, predict(smooth.spline(x = altitude, y = atm_values), deriv = 1)) Cheers, Andrew -- Andrew Robinson Chief Executive Officer, CEBRA and Professor of Biosecurity, School/s of BioSciences and Mathematics & Statistics University of Melbourne, VIC 3010 Australia Tel: (+61) 0403 138 955 Email: apro at unimelb.edu.au Website: https://researchers.ms.unimelb.edu.au/~apro

Readers, A data set comprises A B C 10 6 .2 20 7 .4 30 8 .16 40 9 .0256 My requirement is to obtain the derivative for values of A with respect to B, create a function in R and plot this derivative against another variable (e.g. values in column C). Have searched the mailing list and found reference to a function 'D', but the help accessed via '?D' and '?deriv' does not

Dear expeRts, I would like to create a scatter plot matrix with splom(). The lower panel should contain some additional information about the samples shown in the upper panel plot, see the splom() call below. Now two questions came up: (1) The lower panels show "tau" and "alpha" on top of each other. How can I plot *three* expressions on top of each other? I tried several
