*Dear R-help: My name is Rodrigo and I have a question with nlme package in R to fit a mixed beta regression model. The details of the model are: Suppose that:* *j in {1, ..., J}* *(level 1)* *i in {1, ..., n_j}* *(level 2)* *y_{ij} ~ Beta(mu_{ij} * phi_{ij}; (1 - mu_{ij}) * phi_{ij}) y_{ij} = mu_{ij} + w_{ij} * *with* *logit(mu_{ij}) = Beta_{0i} + Beta_{1i} * x1_{ij} + b2 * x2_{ij}

*Dear R-help: My name is Rodrigo and I have a question with nlme package in R to fit a mixed beta regression model. I'm so sorry. In the last email, I forgot to say that W is also a unknown parameter in the mixed beta regression model. In any case, here I send you the correct formulation. ** Suppose that:* *j in {1, ..., J}* *(level 1)* *i in {1, ..., n_j}* *(level 2)* *y_{ij} ~

Dear list, Can anyone tell me how to obtain the rank of a sparse Matrix, for example from package Matrix (class dgCMatrix)? Here is an example of QR decomposition of a sparse matrix (from the sparseQR class help). library(Matrix) data(KNex) mm <- KNex$mm str(mmQR <- qr(mm)) Similarly, using the functions/classes from the relatively new MatrixModels package: library(MatrixModels)

Dear list, I'm wondering if anyone can help me calculate the deviance of either a zeroinfl or hurdle model from package pscl? Even if someone could point me to the correct formula for calculating the deviance, I could do the rest on my own. I am trying to calculate a pseudo-R-squared measure based on the R^{2}_{DEV} of [1], so I need to be able to calculate the deviance of the full and null

Dear list, I am trying to plot a radial dendrogram using the ape package, which requires my data to be of class 'phylo'. Currently I have my dendrogram stored as an object of class 'dendrogram' which was produced from an outside bit of C code, but was made into an object of class 'igraph.eigenc' and converted to a dendrogram using 'as.dendrogram()' from the igraph

Dear list, I have been comparing the outputs of two packages for latent class regression, namely 'flexmix', and 'mmlcr'. What I have noticed is that the flexmix package appears to come up with a much better fit than the mmlcr package (based on logLik, AIC, BIC, and visual inspection). Has anyone else observed such behaviour? Has anyone else been successful in using the mmlcr

Hello list, Has anyone had any luck creating an M-step driver for negative binomial regression for use with package flexmix? I've had a look here: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/flexmix/vignettes/flexmix-intro.pdf as well as poking around in the flexmix source, but I haven't had much luck getting anything to work. I can't figure out how to a) come up with an initial estimate

Dear list, I have been working with the MatrixModels package quite a bit this week, and it is proving to be extremely valuable for my current work (I am working with several factors with many levels, leading to a sparse model matrix). However, as my knowledge of statistical theory leaves much to be desired, there are certain aspects of model evaluation etc that I am having trouble with. Has

Hello list, I am not sure if the terminology that I am using here is widely used, however, I provide an example in the hopes that my problem will become clear. My basic problem is that I am unsure of how to 'constrain' my model estimates to reproduce the aggregate (by factor levels) observed dependent variable for a negative.binomial model. I realize this sounds rather vague, so I provide

Hi, I'm having difficulties getting the news reader, Gravity, running reliably. Gravity installed okay, and I ran it for a single session. During that test, the following messages appeared many times: fixme:richedit:RichEditANSIWndProc EM_CHARFROMPOS: stub fixme:richedit:RichEditANSIWndProc EM_LINEFROMCHAR: stub fixme:richedit:RichEditANSIWndProc EM_LINEINDEX: stub

I was wondering if anyone has developed (or is developing) an implementation for gravity models (spatial interaction) in R. I conducted several searches on the CRAN website with no luck. Currently I am estimating parameters via linearization. Thank you in advance Melanie Murphy [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, Sorry to bother you with the potentially not too bright question, but since I cannot get it to work, I'll have to ask someone.. I've got this vector: > token [1] sal skal skal bak b_r d_ gal kal l_r n_r pak p_r [13] sal sl_r sn_r spak sp_r st_r s_ bak d_ gal l_r pak [25] p_r sak sl_r sp_r t_ kal n_r s_ st_r sak kal

Dear all, I'm using R 2.8.1 under Windows Vista on a dual core 2,4 GhZ with 4 GB of RAM. I'm trying to reproduce a result out of "Analysis of Financial Time Series" by Ruey Tsay. In R I'm using the fGarch library. After fitting a ar(3)-garch(1,1)-model > model<-garchFit(~arma(3,0)+garch(1,1), analyse) I'm saving the results via > result<-model

Dear R developers, I was looking for a function analogous to base::diag() for getting and setting bands of a matrix. The closest I could find was Matrix::band(), but this was not exactly what I wanted for two reasons. Firstly, Matrix::band() returns a matrix rather than just the specified band. Secondly, Matrix::band() cannot be used for setting the values for a matrix band. Setting or

Dear r-help members, Could any of you help me with this model, please? This model gives error when some value touch whatever border and I do not know how to correct it. The 80% of the seeds produced by a plant will fell into the parent cell, the 15% in the first ring according to the king movement (in chess), and a 5% in the second ring defined by the queen2 matrix. Someone said me the functions

Dear all, As our previous email did not get any response, we try again with a reformulated question! We are trying to do something which needs an efficient loop over a huge array, possibly functions such as apply and related (tapply, lapply...?), but can't really understand syntax and examples in practice...i.e. cant' make it work. to be more specific: we are trying to apply a mask

I found a bug in one of the fourteen speed patches I posted, namely in patch-vec-subset. I've fixed this (I now see one does need to duplicate index vectors sometimes, though one can avoid it most of the time). I also split this patch in two, since it really has two different and independent parts. The patch-vec-subset patch now has only some straightforward (locally-checkable) speedups for

I am out of my league with this question. The following code starts the java imaging program ImageJ from within R, and displays an image (assuming ImageJ is installed on your computer). library(RImageJ) img <- IJ$openImage( file.choose() ) #pick an available .tif file img$show() # make the image object visible # An image is now displayed # find out about the objects involved >

I need to refresh my memory on Probability Theory, especially on conditional probability. In particular, I want to solve the following two problems. Can somebody point me some good books on Probability Theory? Thank you! 1. Z=X+Y, where X and Y are independent random variables and their distributions are known. Now, I want to compute E(X | Z = z). 2.Suppose that I have $I \times J$ random number
