similar to: maximum likelihood problem

I forgot to add that I first gave a starting value for K. Nonlinear least squares won't work because my errors are not normally distributed. Any advide on my maximum likelihood function would be greatly appreciated. ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: RE: [R] maximum likelihood problem From: "Ravi Varadhan" <rvaradhan at

I calculated a large vector. Unfortunately, I have some measurement error in my data and some of the values in the vector are erroneous. I ended up wih some Infs and NaNs in the vector. I would like to filter out the Inf and NaN values and only keep the values in my vector that range from 1 to 20. Is there a way to filter out Infs and NaNs in R and end up with a clean vector? Mike

I have R randomly sampling my array made up of 2 columns of data. Here is my code randomly sampling 5 different rows from my dataset to create a new dataset of 8 rows of data: testdat<-growth[sample(5,8,replace=T),] Now I want to tell R to repeat this function 50 times and give me the output. I have been searching the internet and have been unable to figure this out. Any advice

I am trying to get R to randomly select values from my dataset (i.e. bootstrapping) with replacement. However, my attempts at this have been unsuccessful. Here is a basic example of what I am doing: I have a data vector of 8 values (i.e. data= 2,5,9,4,5,6,7,8). I used the sample function and it worked. However, it only repeated my values in the exact same order as the dataset. It did not

I am trying to get R to resample my dataset of two columns of age and length data for fish. I got it to work, but it is not resampling every replicate. Instead, it resamples my data once and then repeated it 5 times. Here is my dataset of 9 fish samples with an age and length for each one: Age Length 2 200 5 450 6 600 7 702 8 798 5 453 4 399 1 120 2 202 Here is my code which resamples my

I am trying to get R to pick random integers from my dataset (i.e. bootstrapping) with replacement. However, my attempts at this have been unsuccessful. Here is a basic example of what I am doing: I have a data vector of 8 integers (data= 2,5,9,4,5,6,7,8). I used the sample function and it worked but it only repeated my values in the exact same order. It did not randomly sample them. Here

Thanks to the people on this list I was able to fix my code for randomly sampling. Thanks. Now, I am moving on to the next step and I ran into another snag. I have a large dataset but I am starting with a small made-up dataset until I figure it out. I have two columns of data (age and length). I got R to read my data called growth which is the age and length for 10 fish: >

Hi, I want to plot grouped bars to compare 95% confidence interval estimates from two models. Each bar represents a 95% confidence interval estimate of a coefficient from one of the two models. Each group represents confidence interval estimates of the same coefficient from the two models. I think such a bar plot will nicely present whether 95% confidence interval estimates of the same

Hi R fans, As a newbie following the five-hour rule (after hitting my head against the wall for five hours, post to this list), I am appealing for some help understanding geom_rect() in ggplot2. What I want to do is very simple. I want to generate a plot of rectangles. Each one represents a business cycle. The x-values will be pairs representing the start and end of each cycle. The y-values

What am I missing? When I run the code below I get the error message "Error: ggplot2 doesn't know how to deal with data of class function" Googling suggests a message of "Error: ggplot2 doesn't know how to deal with data of class XXX" is not uncommon but I don't see why I am getting a "function" error unless I am using some reserved word?

All: Are there any functions out there for selecting all the points in a region of a plot. I envision something like the identify() function except one could circle a cloud of points (and perhaps a vector would be returned of the same length as the points plotted indicating logical membership in the circled cloud). Perhaps someone has done something with the locator() function that would

I want to make a plot, but instead of showing _numerical_ values, I would like to show _symbolic_ values. For example, I want to plot a function y = a x + b, where x varies between Xmin and Xmax. I would like the plot to show, in the x-axis, the strings Xmin and Xmax, instead of their numeric values. Is it possible? Alberto Monteiro

Dear R experts, I am sorry for sending this email again. I would imagine yesterday and maybe today, have been very busy days with the release of R v 2.7.0. I join all the R users who are very gratful for your contant work and efforts, specially knowing that you are doing this for the sake of science, without gettig any compensation for that. Having written that, I decided to send the

With some help from those with expertise on this list, I managed to produce a plot using trellis that looked like I wanted it to look. Now, I need to take the same plot and make the lines on it color, but I want to specify the color for the lines myself. I've managed to make the key use the colors I want. I've managed to make the symbols of the actual plot use the colors I want. But I

Relatively new user with a question regarding abline. I want to draw a st. line fit to some data but I want the line to span the range of the x-data and NOT the plot limits. In short the line spans xmin to xmax(of plot axis) but I want it to span xmin to xmax (of x data). Can this but done with abline or do I have to use lines and construct the line from a+bx?

I apologize if this comes across as confusing. I will try to explain my situation as best I can. I have R bootstrapping my growth data for fish. It's resampling my database of age and length data and then produces several new datasets for me. In this case, it's resampling my data to create three new datasets of age and length data. Here is my code with my original data called

I have a function that does some plotting. I then add lines to the plot. If executed one line at a time, there is not a problem. If I execute the function, though, I get: Error in ans[[1]] : subscript out of bounds This always occurs after the second lines command, and doesn't happen with all of my data points (some do not have errors). Any ideas? Thanks, Sean

Hi, I think I have identified a inaccuracy in dchisq when the non-centrality parameter is non-zero and large. Here's a little test: sys.dchisq.test <- function(N = 100000,mean = 0) { z <- rnorm(N,mean = mean, sd = 1) x <- z^2 xmin <- min(x) xmax <- max(x) br <- seq(xmin,xmax,length = 101) dbr <- br[2]-br[1] hist(x,br) p <- dchisq(br,df = 1,ncp =
