Dear list, I'm trying to fit a chapman-richards equation to my data, only I cannot interpret the parameters a, b and d. I know that the parameter b denotes the asymptote, but for the others I couldn't figure out. But I do need to know this in order to set my starting values. Here's the model: modPoplar<- nls(Diameter ~ d*(1-exp(-b *Age))^a ,start=list(a=20,b=0.9,d=33)) I attached

Dear List, does anyone know how I can test the strength of a correlation? Cheers, Anna

Hello, I'm with a conceptual doubt regarding Rsquared of both lm() and postResample(library caret). I've got a multiple regression linear model (lets say mlr) with anR² value of 67.52%. Then I use this model pro make predictions with predict() function using the same data as input , that is, use the generated model to predict the value associated with data that I used as input. Next, if

Hi, I have attached the data files to this note. I use this code: library(zoo) z1 <- read.zoo("baltimorefludata.txt", format = "%m/%d/%Y", header = TRUE) z2 <- read.zoo("baltimorew.txt", format = "%Y%m%d", header = TRUE) z3<-merge(z1,z2) write.table(z3, "fluweatherdata_baltimore2.txt", sep="\t") R is writing the other data

Dear r-helpers, I just read in an article by Virtanen et al. (2006) where vegetation-environment relationships are studied by fitting smoothed surfaces on an NMDS ordination using GAMs (Wood 2000). The authors describe, that they used R? as goodness-of-fit statistic, which they compare to the R? of fitted vectors. Calculations were carried out using the package vegan (Oksanen). I know that I can

Hi, I am trying to get the following two timeseries (these are small subsets of the whole thing) into R so I can merge them using zoo. Timeseries 1=[ Date Count 9/28/2003 1505 10/5/2003 1535

Hey, I'm trying to create an image file with the results of a regression analysis. In TeX, the line would be something like: $ size = 0.34 + 4.3 var_1 $ Can I create a plot window with just this line in it? I tried playing around with plot.new() or dev.new(), but didn't really find something that worked. Thanks in advance, Alex -- alexx at alexx-fett:~$ vi .emacs

Hi, We got a question about interpretating R-suqared. The actual outputs for a test dataset is X=(x1,x2, ..., xn). model 1 predicted the outputs as Y1=(y11,y12,..., y1n) model n predicted the outputs as Y2=(y21,y22,..., y2n) ... model m predicted the outputs as Ym=(ym1,ym2,..., ymn) Now we have two ways to calculate R squared to evaluate the average performance of committee model.

Hi, My R has been installed on a Ubuntu linux computer in Germany. The error messages I get are in German, for example: In min(magnitudes) : kein nicht-fehlendes Argument f?r min; gebe Inf zur?ck I would like those to be displayed in English, for pasting them into google. I tried searching for "R language", which brings me a ton of results for.. well, the R language :) "R german

During last update packets pidgin and libpurple were updated while "yum update"-ing Is it a common and normal thing that both x86_64 and i386 arch rpms are installed during update? This not the first time. -- Cheers, Alexx mailto:alexx187 at gmail.com

Hi, I'm trying to write a function to determine the euclidean distance between x (one point) and y (a set of n points). How should I pass y to the function? Until now, I used a matrix like that: | [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 0 2 1 [2,] 1 1 1 | Which would pass the points (0,2,1) and (1,1,1) to that function. However, when I pass x as a normal (column) vector,

Hi, I am implementing a function which generates about 10 .pdf plots in the current directory. I need the graphic to fit into a LaTeX-Presentation-slide, so the outer margin should be removed (this is the way to do it, right?): I am having trouble finding out where to put the par command(s). Is one enough or should I put them before and after /every/ plot() command? This is how I tried to do

Hi Y'all, I have some data in a table with 2 columns. There are two values: "Reduction" and "No Reduction. " I am trying to make a new variable change which recode the combinations from column 1 and 2 into a single number. Here is a snippet from the table: [1,] "NoReduction" "NoReduction" [2,] "Reduction"

I'm seeing a lot of activity over the last two days with what looks to be a kiddie script. Mostly trying to access several of our servers with the username anna. All failed... in fact I don't think we have a user anna on any of our servers. Meanwhile... I'm running Sendmail. This pertains to Centos 4 and 5 servers. I'm also running fail2ban on some and Ossec on others. So far,

Hello R lovers, I have a vector of dates and signals. I want to filter the signals per day in a way that only the first signal of the day remains like this: Dates Signals Filtered Signal 2006-11-02 0 0 2006-11-02 1 1 2006-11-02 0 0 2006-11-02 1 0 2006-11-02 1

Hi! This is a really weird problem, I hope, someone can help me out there. First of all, I put my smb.conf on the web, you can find it here[0]. The Sambaserver (ESS-LINUX) is just an ordinary workstation (in the terms of SMB) and uses the PDC (ESS_SERVER) for authentication (see "password server"-directive). Nearly everything works fine. Each authenticated user gets his home-directory

Hi everyone (again), before you all start screaming that the reordering of factors has been discusse on several threads and is not particular to ggplot2, hear me out. I can easily reorder my x-axis factor in facet.grid() in ggplot2. What I cannot reorder are the factors represented on the strips. I can see that the graphs are changing, so I am afraid of what it is I am doing. Why is ggplot2
