Hi all- I fit a zero-inflated Poisson model to model bycatch rates using an offset term for effort. I need to apply the fitted model to a datasets of varying levels of effort to predict the associated levels of bycatch. I am seeking assistance as to the correct way to code this. Thanks in advance!

Dear All, the lm() function has the possibility to create a subset of the possible explaining variables that you have. However, in the help there is no example how to use this subset option. I tried the following: model<-lm(dependent.data$MPFD~.,data=explaining.data,subset=c(1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0)) MPFD is the dependent variable stored in the data frame dependent.data, and all 12

Hello, I am using R to analyze a large multilevel data set, using lmer() to model my data, and using anova() to compare the fit of various models. When I run two models, the output of each model is generated correctly as far as I can tell (e.g. summary(f1) and summary(f2) for the multilevel model output look perfectly reasonable), and in this case (see below) predictor.1 explains vastly more

Let me start with an example: par(mfrow=c(2,3)) for (i in 1:5){ x = rnorm(100) y = .5*x + rnorm(100, 0, sqrt(1-.5^2)) plot(x,y) } Note that there's five plots and six spaces for those plots via mfrow, leaving one row empty. Is there a way to have the bottom two plots centered? I think it looks weird to have them left-justified. Thanks in advance for the help! -- Dustin Fife PhD

Hi, I am trying to add multiple variance structures such as the first example below: vf1 <- varComb(varIdent(form = ~1|Sex), varPower()) However my code below will not work can anybody please advise me? VFcomb<-varComb(varExp(form=~depcptwithextybf),varFixed(form=~FebNAO)) also if you have two variables with the same weights function would you write that as:

Hi everyone! I'm new to R, and I've sent this message as a non-member, but since it's pretty urgent, I'm sending it again now I'm on the mailing list (Thanks Daniel for your suggestion nevertheless). I have calculated a regression in the form of M ~ D + O + S, and I would like to take this regression and test it with other samples, 5 sets of M, D, O, and S at a time(I actually

Dear Group, I am an economics student starting with PhD work in London. As preparation I would like to get to know R a little bit better. For Stata there are tons of books, however, can you recommend a book for R? I have some substantiated econometrics knowledge, so it should be more a how-to book.

Hi, All, I have a dataset with binary response ( 0 and 1) and some numerical covariates. I know I can use logistic regression to fit the data. But I want to consider more locally. So I am wondering how can I fit the data with 'loess' function in R? And what will be the response: 0/1 or the probability in either group like in logistic regression? Thank you, Cindy [[alternative HTML

Hi - I read through dse package manual a bit. I'm not quite certain how I can use it to estimate a time varying coefficient regression model? I might pick up an inappropriate package. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. rh

Dear all, I'm a beginner of R and I need to carry out some three-way mixed ANOVAs. Following examples at http://personality-project.org/r/r.anova.html, I managed to get the ANOVA part, but I don't know how can I check data normality and homogeneity of variance in R (since they're the required assumptions of ANOVA analysis). Are there any special command/packages? Could anyone give me

Hello, I'm having an error when trying to fit the next GLM: >>model<-glm(response ~ CLONE_M + CLONE_F + HATCHING +(CLONE_M*CLONE_F) + (CLONE_M*HATCHING) + (CLONE_F*HATCHING) + (CLONE_M*CLONE_F*HATCHING), family=quasipoisson) >> anova(model, test="Chi") >Error in if (dispersion == 1) Inf else object$df.residual : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed If I fit

Dear R-helpers, I would like to compare the fit of two models, one of which I fit using lm() and the other using glm(family=poisson). The latter doesn't provide r-squared, so I wonder how to go about comparing these models (they have the same formula). Thanks very much, Mark Na [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I wrote a simple master function, run(), that has inside six qplot functions. The goal is to type run() and have all six graphs appear as separate windows so that I can copy them into PowerPoint for a client. When I type run(), only the last graph appears, the first five apparently being overwritten. How do I get all six in separate windows, ready for copying? By the way, is the a way

Hi All. I'd like to programm a 4 dimensional chart in R. Acctually I wanted to solve that problem in Excel cause I had the data there. Here is a link of my actual problem description (there are some chart pictures as well).... http://www.mrexcel.com/board2/viewtopic.php?t=187336&highlight=stacked+column because I still couldn't solve that problem I came to R. The chart should be

Hi while teaching R, the question came up if it would be possible to add a picture (saved on the HDD) to a graph (generated by plot()), which we could not answer. It might easily kill a clean graph, but: is there a way of doing this, even one should not do it? On a similar line of thought: is it possibe to define own symbols so that they can be used in the plot function with pch=? Rainer

Dear R Community, I?m relatively new in the field of R and I hope someone of you can help me to solve my nerv-racking problem. For my Master thesis I collected some behavioral data of fish using acoustic telemetry. The aim of the study is to compare two different groups of fish (coded as 0 and 1 which should be the dependent variable) based on their swimming activity, habitat choice, etc.
