Hi all, I am wondering if anyone has written (or knows of) a function that will conduct a goodness-of-fit test for a gamma distribution. I am especially interested in test statistics have some asymptotic parametric distribution that is independent of sample size or values of fitted parameters (e.g., a chi-squared distribution with some fixed df), because I want to fit gamma distributions to

Dear David, you asked this question a while ago on the R mailing list and got no answer.

Hi I am experiencing a problem with the random number generator. When I call any function that involve RNG such as "runif" or "sample" I get this error: .Random.seed is not an integer vector but of type 'double' I can't coerce the random seed and it's recommended not to alter it anyway. Can anybody help me? Thanks and kind regards, Piero Visconti, PhD

Hi all, I am fairly new to R and I am trying to run mvpart and create a MRT using explanatory variables and covariables. I've been following the procedures in Numerical Ecoogy with R. The command (no covariables) which works fine - ABUNDTMRT <- mvpart(abundance ~ .,factors,margin=0.08,cp=0,xv="1se",xval=nrow(abundance),xvmult=100,which=4) where abundance is 4th root

Hello, I recently started using the metafor package (version 1.6-0) in R (2.15.1, 64-bit Windows 7) and noticed that I was getting slightly different values when I manually calculated the standardized mean difference versus what escalc was giving me. Here''s a very simple example: escalc(measure="SMD", m1i=5,m2i=10,n1i=5,n2i=5,sd1i=1,sd2i=2,vtype="LS") The result

Hi there, I have been having trouble running negative binomial regression (glm.nb) using library MASS in R v2.15.0 on Mac OSX. I am running multiple models on the variables influencing the group size of damselfish in coral reefs (count data). For total group size and two of my species, glm.nb is working great to deal with overdispersion in my count data. For two of my species, I am getting a

Hi, I am trying to fit a logarithmic trendline to a scatterplot of a species accumulation curve. I've tried abline, lines, curve and scatter.smooth but none of these work. Can anyone help please, Kyran

Hi! I've got a USB key with several tools (small linux, memtest86+) booting via syslinux. But now I have to add powermax.exe (a MSDOS tool to test Maxtor disks) on this key. As I've always been on Unix/Linux system, I don't know what to do to run powermax.exe from syslinux. I've made a boot floppy disk and tried to copy everything on my usb key and put the command.com in kernel

Hi All, I'm using the following code to produce some stacked bar graphs. *setwd("C:\\Users\\Tinus\\Documents\\NMMU\\R\\Seamounts")* *SChla <- read.csv("SM_Chla_data.csv")* * * *#Extract mean values from data file* * * *Coral <- SChla[185:223,] #Reduce SChla to Coral only* *coral <- with(Coral , aggregate(cbind(Pico, Nano, Micro), list(Depth),FUN=mean))*

Dear Samba Team member, I?m afraid I am not a fluent Samba user and but desperately need to upgrade the version we have. Do you know where I can find Upgrading instructions for Samba or do I need to reinstall the whole program with the latest one? I haven?t been able to find upgrading instructions anywhere, which is why I'm bothering you for assistance. If you have any recommendations or know

Hi all, may i know is it possible to plot a graph by first letter? for example: Name: Age: Angel 20 Amelia 20 Bernard 19 Stephanie 20 Vanessa 22 Angeline 23 Camel 21 If I want to plot the name started with letter 'A' and their Angel,

For block effects with small variance, lmer will sometimes estimate the variance as being very close to zero and issue a warning. I don't have a problem with this -- I've explored things a bit with some simulations (see below) and conclude that this is probably inevitable when trying to incorporate random effects with not very much data (the means and medians of estimates are plausibly

I'd greatly appreciate your help in making a bar graph with multiple variables plotted on it. All the help sites I've seen so far only plot 1 variable on the y-axis Data set: I have 6 sites, each measured 5 times over the past year. During each sampling time, I counted the occurrences of different benthic components (coral, dead coral, sand, etc.) over 5 transects in each site site

Dear list, I am modelling fish distributions using the glm-function followed by the step-function, and then want to cross-validate the model via the cv.glm-function from the {boot} package. I am working on fish distributions on coral reefs. The code I have works for one fish species. Since I have 227 fishes, I wrote a loop. Now the cv.glm-function comes up with an error message: "Error in

Hi R-Users, I have a student doing work with lionfish and she has been trying to analyse a multivariate dataset to see what variables/factors are influencing the behaviour of lionfish. We have attempted a number of analyses, including rpart, relimpo and standard linear regression but we are not having much luck with quality output. The data is very non-normal and we would appreciate some advice
