similar to: 2d loess question

Hi All, I am trying to use loess to smooth a 2D image, and also obtain the standard error for every pixel. I see that the standard error does not make sense. For example, running the following: library(stats) x <- array(c(1:100), dim=c(100,100)) y <- t(x) v <- exp(-((x-50)^2+(y-50)^2)/30^2) s <- v*0.02 g_noise <- rnorm(10000, mean = 0, sd = s) f <- v + g_noise f.loess <-

Hi, For some reason I have been unable to use the predict function when I desire the standard error to be calculated too. For example, when I try the following: l<- loess(d~x+y, span=span, se=TRUE) p<- predict(l, se=TRUE) I get the following error message: Error in vector("double", length) : vector size cannot be NA In addition: Warning message: In N * M1 : NAs produced by

Dear R developers! Considering I got no response or comments in the general r-help forum so far, perhaps my question is actually better suited for this list? I have added some more hopefully relevant technical details to my original post (edited below). Any comments gratefully received! Best regards, David Kreil. ---------- Dear R experts, I have a problem that is a related to the question

Hi all, I'm trying to apply loess regression to my data and then use the fitted model to get the *standardized/studentized residuals. I understood that for linear regression (lm) there are functions to do that:* * * fit1 = lm(y~x) stdres.fit1 = rstandard(fit1) studres.fit1 = rstudent(fit1) I was wondering if there is an equally simple way to get the standardized/studentized residuals for a

>From what I understand, loess in R uses the standard tri-cube function. SAS/INSIGHT offers loess with Gaussian weights. Is there a function in R that does the same? Also, can anyone offer any references comparing properties between tri-cube and Gaussian weights in LOESS? Thanks. - Andr? -- View this message in context:

Hi All, I am trying to trace the origin of the current loess implementation in R. The reference mentions that Prof Ripley based it on the 1998 version of dloess. When I look at dloess in http://www.netlib.org/a, the file "changes" mentions dloess was made available in 1992 and that a memory leak was plugged in 1996 with no mention of 1998. Is there another version available?

Hello, I am interested in performing a 2D loess smooth on microarray data, i.e. log2 ratios on a 2D grid, using different spans in the horizontal and vertical directions (the immediate reason being that replicate spots are laid out in the horizontal direction). Is it possible to do this in R? Functions like loess(stats) seem to apply the same span for all predictors, which carries over to

Is there an R implementation of a scheme for automatic smoothing parameter selection with loess, e.g., by minimizing one of the AIC/GCV statistics discussed by Hurvich, Simonoff & Tsai (1998)? Below is a function that calculates the relevant values of AICC, AICC1 and GCV--- I think, because I to guess from the names of the components returned in a loess object. I guess I could use

I am trying to (semi) calculate the confidence intervals for a loess smoother (function: loess()), but have been thus far unsuccessful. The CI for the loess predicted values, yhat, are apparently yhat +- t*s * sqrt(w^2), where s is the residual sum of squares and w is the weight function Correct me of I'm wrong, but R uses the tricubic function (1-abs(z)^3)^3, where z = (x-xi)/h, where h

Please do as we ask (repeatedly) and study the help page before posting. 'family' is a separate argument, not part of loess.control, as the help page correctly documents. If you use cars.lo2 <- loess(dist ~ speed, cars, family = "symmetric", control = loess.control(surface = "direct", iterations = 20)) cars.lo2$pars$iterations it prints *20*, as it is

Hello, I found a little BUG in loess <stats>. It does not receive the iterations parameter. It can be debugged in the following way: THIS IS AN EXCERPT FROM THE CODE: .... fit <- simpleLoess(y, x, w, span, degree, parametric, drop.square, normalize, control$statistics, control$surface, control$cell, iterations, control$trace.hat) Replace argument iterations with

Hello Masters, I run the loess() function to obtain local weighted regressions, given lowess() can't handle NAs, but I don't improve significantly my situation......, actually loess() performance leave me much puzzled.... I attach my easy experiment below #------SCRIPT---------------------------------------------- #I explore the functionalities of lowess() & loess() #because I have

Good morning, I am Marta Colombo,student at Politecnico,Milan. I am studying local regression models and I am using loess function. My problem is that when I have a loess object I don't know how to display the fitted surface; in fact, while in S when you have a loess object you can see it writing plot(object), in R this dosen't work. Also I'd like to know if there is something like the

hi! i want to change the "robustness weights" used by loess. these are described on page 316 of chambers and hastie's "statistical models in S" book as r_i = B(e_i,6m) where B is tukey's biweight function, e_i are the residulas, and m is the median average distance from 0 of the residuals. i want to change 6m to, say, 3m. is there a way to do this? i cant

I have a two-dimensional loess fit, and need to calculate the gradient field from it. Even after looking at loess.c and loess.f, I don't understand the meaning of the returned polynomial coefficients. Or is the brute force method of using a tangential approx to the fitted values the way to go? Dieter Menne --------------------------------------- Dr. Dieter Menne Biomed Software 72074

Hi, I'm trying to normalize data by fitting a line through the highest density of points (in a 2D plot). In other words, if you visualize the data as a density plot, the fit I'm trying to achieve is the line that goes through the "crest" of the mountain. This is similar yet different to what LOESS does. I've been using loess before, but it does not exactly that as it takes

Dear All I'm having trouble working out what exactly loess means by its "Standard Error of the Residuals" denoted s and in particular when the weights argument is invoked. For example, if the weights are weights are all =1, then s^2 is nearly sum sq res/ (n -1 - 'equiv num paras') If the weights are all k then s is proportional to k If the weights are unequal, I

Dear all, I have some questions regarding the validity an implementation of statistical tests based on linear models and loess. I've searched the R-help arhives and found several informative threads that related to my questions, but there are still a few issues I'm not clear about. I'd be grateful for guidance. Background and data set: I wish to compare the growth and metabolism

I am typing the following on the command prompt: >variab = read.csv(file.choose(), header=T) >variab It lists 900,000 ( this is the total number of observations in "variab" ) minus 797124 observations and prompts the following message [ reached getOption("max.print") -- omitted 797124 entries ]] Is there a way to see the entire set of data, ie all of 900,000 obs, and

I have so far used the following command glm(formula = s ~ age + gender + gemedu + gemhinc + es_gdppc + imf_pop + estbbo_m, family = binomial(link = "probit")) My question is 1. How do i discard the non significant selection variables (one out of the seven variables above is non-significant) and calculate the Inverse Mills Ratio of the significant variables 2. I need the inverse
