I have created a function to do something: i <- factor(sample(c("A", "B", "C", NA), 793, rep=T, prob=c(8, 7, 5, 1))) k <- factor(sample(c("X", "Y", "Z", NA), 793, rep=T, prob=c(12, 7, 9, 1))) mytable <- function(x){ xtb <- x btx <- x # do more with x, not relevant here cat("The table has been created,

A Likert scale may have produced counts of answers per category. According to theory I may expect equality over the categories. A statistical test shall reveal the actual equality in my sample. When applying a chi square test with increasing number of repetitions (simulate.p.value) over a fixed sample, the p-value decreases dramatically (looks as if converge to zero). (1) Why? (2) (If

A dataframe holds 3 vars, each checked true or false (1, 0). Another var holds the grouping, r and s: ### start:example set.seed(20) d <- data.frame(sample(c(0, 1), 20, replace=T), sample(c(0, 1), 20, replace=T), sample(c(0, 1), 20, replace=T)) names(d) <- c("A", "B", "C") e <- rep(c("r", "s"), 10) ### end:example How do I get the

How to I "recode" a factor into a binary data frame according to the factor levels: ### example:start set.seed(20) l <- sample(rep.int(c("locA", "locB", "locC", "locD"), 100), 10, replace=T) # [1] "locD" "locD" "locD" "locD" "locB" "locA" "locA" "locA"

Hello a <- c("Mama", "Papa", "Papa; Mama", "", "Sammy; Mama; Papa") a <- strsplit(a, "; ") mama <- rep(F, length(a)) mama[sapply(a, function(x) { sum(x=="Mama") }, simplify=T) > 0] <- T papa <- rep(F, length(a)) papa[sapply(a, function(x) { sum(x=="Papa") }, simplify=T) > 0] <- T # ... more

In https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2008-March/156868.html I found what linear separability means. But what can I do if I find such a situation in my data? Field (2005) suggest to reduce the number of predictors or increase the number of cases. But I am not sure whether I can, as an alternative, take the findings from my analysis and report them. And if so, how can I find the linear

Hello The "Craddock-Flood Test" is recommended for large tables with small degrees of freedom and low-frequency cells. Is there an R procedure and/or package which does the test?

### example:start v <- sample(rnorm(200), 100, replace=T) k <- rep.int(c("locA", "locB", "locC", "locD"), 25) tapply(v, k, summary) ### example:end ... (hopefully) produces 4 summaries of v according to k group membership. How can I transform the output into a nice table with the croups as columns and the interesting statistics as lines? Thx,

Hello I found some small postings dated to 22 Oct 2008 on the message subject. Recently, I have been working with binary logistic regressions. I didn't use the design package. Yet, I needed the "fit" indices. Therefore, I wrote a small function to output the Nagelkerke's R, and the Cox-&-Snell R from a fitted model. I am no professional programmer by far, yet, I hope, that

Hello, for my data preparation and administration (data, labels, etc.) I use OpenOffice.org ODS spreadsheet files with several sheets in one file. However, I find it inconvenient to export every single sheet to a csv file whenever I apply changes to the labelling or so, and I haven't found a plugin or an application which does this batch in OOorg. Is there new development on a direct import

Hi, y is nominal (3 categories), x1 to 3 is scale. What I want is a regression, showing the probability to fall in one of the three categories of y according to the x. How can I perform such a regression in R? Thanks for your help S?ren

Hello, I read the help as well as the examples, but I can not figure out why the following code does not produce the *given* row names, "x" and "y": x <- 1:20 y <- 21:40 rbind( x=cbind(N=length(x), M=mean(x), SD=sd(x)), y=cbind(N=length(y), M=mean(y), SD=sd(y)) ) Could you please help? Thank you S?ren

Hello, how can I return the name of a variable, say "a$b", from a function? fun <- function(x){ return(substitute(x)); } a <- data.frame(b=1:10); fun(a$b) ... returns a$b, but this is a type language, thus I can't use it as a character string, can I? How? Thanks for help, S?ren

Hello, after the creation of a data.frame I like to add NAs as follows: n <- 743; x <- runif(n, 1, 7); Y <- runif(n, 1, 7); Ag6 <- runif(n, 1, 7); df <- data.frame(x, Y, Ag6); # a list with positions: v <- apply(df, 2, function(x) sample(n, sample(1:ceiling(5*n/100), 1), repl=F)); # a loop too much? for (i in 1:length(df)){ df[unlist(v[i]), i] <- NA; } summary(df); This

r11 -- r16 are variables showing a reason for usage of a product in 6 different situations. Each variable is a factor with 4 levels imported from a SPSS sav file with labels ranging from "not important" to "very important", and NA's for a sample of N = 276. (1) I need a chi square test of independence showing that the reason does not differ depending on the

Dear All Where can I lookup good methods to compute p from q=bin(m,n)p^n*(1-p)^(m-n) such that q<=alfa, alfa small. Are there such libs, code and source in R?

Can't make sense of calculated results and hope I'll find help here. I've collected answers from about 600 persons concerning three variables. I hypothesise those three variables to be components (or indicators) of one latent factor. In order to reduce data (vars), I had the following idea: Calculate the factor underlying these three vars. Use the loadings and the original var

Hi, how can I attach variable labels originally read by read.spss() to the resulting variables? <pre> X <- read.spss('data.sav', use.value.labels = TRUE, to.data.frame = TRUE, trim.factor.names = TRUE, trim_values = TRUE, reencode = "UTF-8") names(X) <- tolower(names(X)) attach(X) </pre> Thank you S?ren

Hello, might be rather easy for R pros, but I've been searching to the dead end to ... twsource.area <- table(twsource, area, useNA="ifany") gives me a nice cross tabulation of frequencies of two factors, but now I want to convert to pecentages of those absolute values. In addition I'd like an extra column and an extra row with absolute sums. I know, Excel or the
