Hi, my name is Gastón. I just read a question, made by Walter Durka, about a nonparametric discriminant analysis. It wasn´t any answer, and I was wondering if at this moment there is one. I have the same problem as W. Durka. I´m trying to classify and to cross-validate samples of three tunicates species based on morphometric data and to identify the variables that best discriminate between

How can I extract the linear discriminant functions resulting from a LDA analysis? The coefficients are listed as a result from the analysis but I have not found a way to extract these programmatically. No refrences in the archives were found. Thank you very much, Stefan

Hi everyone, I intend to do a discriminant analyse for 2 measures(eye diameter and body length) and for different areas to show differences between those areas if there are any. The raw data (eye diameter, body length) make one cloud of points so it seems there aren't any differences between those areas. If I take the mean values (eye diameter) for length classes, I nearly get linear functions

Hi, I'm very new to R. I want to know if there is any way to write only the lower half of a distance matrix created in R to a csv file for example. I get the 'cannot coerce class "dist" into a data.frame' message when I try. I have used as.matrix and can write to a file this way, but as a full matrix. The reason I only want the lower half is that I've been doing some

I need to make about 30 figures and I am trying to create a program in R that will make my life a lot easier. First I will tell you how my data is setup. I have 30 sites and then data for each year at the site. I have 10 years of data for each site. Below is a small chunk of my data to show the format. 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 Site A 50 75 25 55 60 Site B 58 22 68 77 30 I am trying to

Hello, Dr. Viechtbauer. I am trying to perform a meta-analyis on a group of before-after studies using Metafor. I read your webpage including your correspondence with Dr. Dewey (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2012-April/308946.html), who also conducted a similar study. These information is very hepful, but I have one additonal question which I wonder if you can give me some instruction.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to solve a problem about how to get the Fisher's discriminant functions of a "lda" (linear discriminant analysis) object, I mean, the object obtained from doing "lda(formula, data)" function of the package MASS in R-project. This object gives me the canonical linear functions (n-1 coefficients matrix of n groups at least), and only with this

Hi all, I hope that i've posted this in the correct place. if not, please accept my apologies (where should this go?) I have carried out experimental removal of bivalves at 2 intertidal shores. Bivalves were removed by raking of surface sediments. I wish compare the biomass values of for a total of 8 species between the 2 shores My 3 treatments are: Undisturbed Controls (Cont), Procedural

Hi, extractRangeChecksFromBranch uses BranchProbabilityInfo to decide whether its worth trying the InductiveRangeCheckElimination transformation. For the following example: void split() { for (int i = 0; i < 100; ++i) { if (i < 99) do_something() else do_something_else() } } But the reported BPI is reported as 50/50 to whether do_something will be called, but we

Hello, I might have missed it in the help pages, but I cannot find if something exits in a package to make discriminant analysis.

Hi list, I'm looking about lda function. I'd like to know how calcolate the value of the discriminant functions for the original datas. I see that in the result object "lda" there is $scaling a matrix which transforms observations to discriminant functions, normalized so that within groups covariance matrix is spherical. I'd like to have the value of the discriminant

I have the Rexcel package. Which of the functions do I want to run a discriminant function analysis? Or, how would I do it in R? Thanks. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear members, I am wondering if there are any functions to perform the Kernel Fisher Discriminant method, especially for multi-class problems, in R. I would appreciate any kind of information on this. Thanks for your time. Seungho Huh, Ph.D. Research Statistician RTI International North Carolina, USA [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I'm a newbie in R and don't much aobut all the modules and their capabilities, but I'm interested in solving a problem about a discriminant analysis done with SPSS tool. The thing is that I would like to make a discrimant analysis similar to the one done with SPSS, but I can't find the way to solve it. I've been playing with R and I can handle more or less my data,

Hello, I've been playing with the manova() function to do some pretty straightforward multivariate analyses, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get at the discriminant functions used. When predicting several variables simultaneously, it's important to be able to gauge how much each variable is contributing to the analysis...a simple p-value isn't really enough. I

Dear All This is more of a statistics question than a question about help for R, so forgive me. I am using lda from the MASS package to perform linear discriminant function analysis. I have 14 cases belonging to two groups and have measured each of 37 variables. I want to find those variables that best discriminate between the two groups, and I want to visualise that and create a

Hi all, I ran a discriminant analysis with some data and want to get a general idea of prediction error rate. Some have suggested using X-fold cross validation procedure. Anyone know if there is a function for this in R? Thanks, Wade [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

*Thanks* all those who took the time to help me (even if the "question" was not related to - the use of - R). Now I think I can soundly make my point w/ the referee (can I use your replies? If so I intend to properly cite its use?!?). Regards, Eduardo Esteves ps - Sorry for not explaining the "biological details" of my posting: RNA/DNA is the ratio of RNA content to

Hi Alejo, According to my knowledge the two plots are different because in the first one a point belongs to a group depending on its group in the data whereas in the second plot a point belongs to the group predicted by the linear discriminant analysis. I hope somebody will correct me if I am wrong. Alain Alejo C.S. wrote: > Hi Alain, this is the code: > > > library(MASS) >
