Hi everyone, I want to use the Fisher r-to-z transformation as part of a hypothesis test of r. I can't find an R function that can do that. Am I missing it? -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.org | http://www.zope.com W.

I have to start by saying that I am new to R, so I might miss something crucial here. It seems to me that the results of friedman.test and ks.test are "wrong". Now, obviously, the first thing which crossed my mind was "it can't be, this is a package used by so many, someone should have observed", but I can't figure out what it might be. Problem: let's start with

I am trying to use Fisher's z' transformation of the Pearson's r but the standard error does not appear to be correct. I have simulated an example using the R code below. The z' data appears to have a reasonably normal distribution but the standard error given by the formula 1/sqrt(N-3) (from http://davidmlane.com/hyperstat/A98696.html) gives a different results than sd(z). Can

Hi! I am calculating correlation between two variables: 1. X versus Y 2. X versus Y(with a 3 steps lag) I would like to test if the correlation increase/decrease from 1 to 2 is significant or not. Is there any function in R to do this? any hints? Thanks for help :) David Ria?o Center for Spatial Technologies and Remote Sensing (CSTARS) University of California 250-N, The Barn One Shields

Hello R gurus, I am a beginner with R. I am doing an ANCOVA analysis using 'aov,' and need some help understanding how 'aov' works. I have a dataset (taken from http://faculty.vassar.edu/lowry/ch17pt2.html) looking at hypnotic induction. The variable 'X' is a measure of how susceptible the subject is to being hypnotized, the variable 'Y' is how well the

Dear R users, This is more a statistical question rather than an R question. I'd appreciate it if you can give me some suggestions. I have a sample of a time series (sample size 500, fat tail in density). I am trying to calculate the Standard error of standard deviation of a sub-block-sample (sample size 250). I take 100 this kind of sub-block-sample, randomly. For these 100 subsamples, I

Hi, i have a question in R, How and what command you need to do to run a kruskal-wallis test without the built in command 'kruskal.test'? many thanks. _________________________________________________________________ [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, imagine the following matrix/data.frame Letter Number a 1 a 1 b 1 b 0 c 0 c 1 d 0 d 0 If the numbers for two identical letters are also identical then I want to remove either the first or the second row of that letter. If for a letter the numbers are 1 and 0 I want to remove the row with the 0. That means if the code works I would and up with the following matrix/data.frame Letter

Dear R users: Suppose I have two different response variables y1, y2 that I regress separately on the different explanatory variables, x1 and x2 respectively. I need to compare points on two regression lines. These are the x and y values for each lines. x1<-c(0.5,1.0,2.5,5.0,10.0) y1<-c(204,407,1195,27404313) x2<-c(2.5,5.0,10.0,25.0) y2<-c(440,713,1520,2634) Suppose we need to

Hi, let's assume I have the following vector a: 1 5 23 How can I use R to duplicate the elements so that my new vector looks like: 1 1 5 5 23 23 Many thanks, Syrvn -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Duplicate-elements-of-a-vector-tp3879561p3879561.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi, the R code: a <- matrix(c(1,5,4,3,7,10,34,4,3,8,6,5,12,17,45,3,2,45,46,47,3,4,22,12,21), nrow=5) rownames(a) <- c("a","b","c","d","e") a a[which(a[,3] < 8), ] a[which(a[,3] < 6), ] produces the following output: > a [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] a 1 10 6 3 3 b 5 34 5 2 4 c 4 4 12 45 22 d

Hello! If I have a vector vec <- c(FALSE, FALSE, TRUE, FALSE, TRUE, TRUE, FALSE FALSE) I can I create the following order of numbers based on vector vec: 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5 Whenever there is a FALSE I increase the number (starting with 1). Whenever there is a TRUE I set the same number as the previous FALSE has been assigned to. I would be happy for any input Cheers, Syrvn -- View

Hello! with the R system command I would like to call a perl script which needs an input directory and an output directory in form of a path. When I put in the path directly it works. The script line looks as follows: system("perl '../path1' '../path2' '../path3'") If I store the path in a variable/object and call the perl script again it does not run and I

Hello, when I use list.files with recursive = TRUE and all.files = TRUE, R returns a list of strings/paths. >From all those strings I want to keep only the ones starting with a . I tried using grep to achieve that. However, the problem is that because of the recursive list.files parameter, for some files beginning with a . there is a path attached. I think it is not as simple as it looks

Hello, with Sys.time() you get the following string: "2011-11-15 16:25:55 GMT" How can I extract the following substrings: year <- 2011 month <- 11 day_time <- 15_16_25_55 Cheers, Syrvn -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Extract-pattern-from-string-tp4073432p4073432.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hello, I am working on a big R project using Eclipse/StatET/Texlipse. I'd like to write a Latex document within that project but DO NOT want to Sweave it. It's pure Latex. Via the external tools configurations I set up 2 different versions to ensure that my latex document is processed correctly. Version 1 (System Call): library(tools) setwd("${container_loc}") file =

Hi, if you look at the first image (Image1) you see that there are 2 main clusters 7 and 8 I wanted to use pvclust to calculate a p-value whether these clusters are due to chance or statistically significant. Unfortunately pvclust does not provide a p-value for the first brunch (7 and 8). So I added a row to my matrix which is very different to the rest of the data to create an additional

Dear group, I am working on a rather big project where the output data frames have dimensions of 3000 x 15 or greater. We are using xlsx and xlsx2 to write the data.frames to Excel sheets. Since recently we get the following error, when trying to write the data frames to the excel sheets: Error in ls(envir = envir, all.names = private) : invalid 'envir' argument We figured out that

Hello, does anybody know whether it is possible to create its own code formatting rules? Defining rules under Eclipse -> Preferences -> R Code Formatting is so limited.

Hello, I am running Windows 7 and R-2.13 in StatET. When I try to create a directory it does not print any errors but if I check outside eclipse if it exists or do a refresh in Eclipse the directory is not been created. The strange thing is that it happens only to some sub-folders... On the other hand when I use the normal windows explorer in one of these sub-folders and create a folder it
