similar to: a Weighted Least Square model for a binary response variable

Dear R Users, I would like to use R to fit a Weighted Least Square model for a binary outcome, say Y. The model is the one widely used for a binary dependent variable when the logistic model has not been proposed. Does anyone know how to specify the weight as the square root of 1/(E(Y)(1-E(Y)) in lm() or any other regression functions? I know that varPower() in the package of gls() can provide

Hello all, I am using the function lm to do my weighted least square regression. model<-lm(Y~X1+X2, weight=w) What I am confused is the r.squared. It does not seem that the r.squared for the weighted case is an ordinary 1-RSS/TSS. What is that precisely? Is the r.squared measure comparable to that obtained by the ordinary least square? <I also notice that model$res is the unweighted

Dear All, Which package/function could i use to solve following linear least square problem? A over determined system of linear equations is given. The nnls-function may would be a possibility BUT: The solving is constrained with a inequality that all unknowns are >= 0 and a equality that the sum of all unknowns is 1 The influence of the equations according to the solving process is

Hi all, I met with a problem about the weighted least square regression. 1. I simulated a Normal vector (sim1) with mean 425906 and standard deviation 40000. 2. I simulated a second Normal vector with conditional mean b1*sim1, where b1 is just a number I specified, and variance proportional to sim1. Precisely, the standard deviation is sqrt(sim1)*50. 3. Then I run a WLS regression without the

Hi, This is more of a general question than a pure R one, but I hope that is OK. I want to combine one-tailed independent p-values using the weighted version of fisher's inverse chi-square method. The unweighted version is pretty straightforward to implement. If x is a vector with p-values, then I guess that this will do for the unweighted version: statistic <- -2*sum(log(x)) comb.p <-

hello, I work since a few time on R and i wanted to know how to obtain the Wald chi square value when you make a binary logistic regression. In fact, i have the z value and the signification but is there a script to see what is the value of Wald chi square. You can see my model below, Best regards, S??verine Erhel [Previously saved workspace restored] > m3 = glm(reponse2 ~ form +

Dear all, I encounter some discrepancies when comparing the deviance of a weighted and unweigthed model with the AIC values. A general example (from 'nls'): DNase1 <- subset(DNase, Run == 1) fm1DNase1 <- nls(density ~ SSlogis(log(conc), Asym, xmid, scal), DNase1) This is the unweighted fit, in the code of 'nls' one can see that 'nls' generates a vector

Dear all, I am trying to implement goodness-of-fit tests for logistic regression models described in : Hosmer, D.W., Lemeshow, S., 2000. Applied logistic regression. New-York, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 373 p. (pp. 152-154) Namely I would like to reproduce Osius & Rojek's test (Osius, G., Rojek, D., 1992. Normal goodness-of-fit tests for multinomial models with large degrees of

Hello, is it possible in R to calculate a Weighted averaging partial least squares regression? I'm not firm in statistics and didn't found anything about weighted averaging in combination with PLS in the help archives. Or is it possible to develop a workaround with the pls-package? thanks for help in advance Andreas Plank -- _____________________________________________ Dipl. Biol.

I need to find out the difference between the way R calculates weighted regression and standard regression. I want to plot a 95% confidence interval around an estimte i got from least squares regression. I cant find he documentation for this ive looked in ?stats ?lm ?predict.lm ?weights ?residuals.lm Can anyone shed light? thanks Chris. -- View this message in context:

Hello, I have a data set of data which is best fit by an exponential decay function. I would like to use a nonlinear weighted least squares regression. What function should I be using? Thank you! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I got simple x,y pairs of data and simple scatterplot and just cannot figure how to do it , there are many examples but always there is error popping out please show me an example stripped with additional data just core of what I need to do to get this damn line -- View this message in context:

As John noted, there are different kinds of weights, and different terminology: * inverse-variance weights (accuracy weights) * case weights (frequencies, counts) * sampling weights (selection probability weights) I'll add: * inverse-variance weights, where var(y for observation) = 1/weight (as opposed to just being inversely proportional to the weight) * weights used as part of an

Hi everyone, I admit I am a bit of an R novice, and I was hoping someone could help me with this error message: Warning message: In lm.fit(x, y, offset = offset, singular.ok = singular.ok, ...) : extra arguments weigths are just disregarded. My equation is: lm( Y ~ X1 + X2 + X3, weigths = seq(0.1, 1, by = 0.1)) -- View this message in context:

Hi there, I'm trying to fit a growth curve to some data and need to use a weighted least squares estimator to account for heteroscedasticity in the data. A weights argument is available in nls that would appear to be appropriate for this purpose, but it is listed as 'not yet implemented'. Is there another package which could implement this procedure?

Howdy, In SPSS, there are 2 ways to weight a least squares regression: 1. You can do it from the regression menu. 2. You can set a global weight switch from the data menu. These two options have no, in my experience, been equivalent. Now, when I run lm in R with the weights= switch set accordingly, I get the same set of results you would see with option #1 in SPSS. Does anybody know how to

Dear UseRs: Recently, I have read an article regarding the association between age and lymph node metastases. http://jco.ascopubs.org/content/27/18/2931.long In statistical analysis, the authors stated "Because a nonlinear relationship between age and lymph node involvement was expected based on existing literature, lymph node involvement was also regressed on age using nonparametric

Dear all, I'm struggling with weighted least squares, where something that I had assumed to be true appears not to be the case. Take the following data set as an example: df <- data.frame(x = runif(100, 0, 100)) df$y <- df$x + 1 + rnorm(100, sd=15) I had expected that: summary(lm(y ~ x, data=df, weights=rep(2, 100))) summary(lm(y ~ x, data=rbind(df,df))) would be equivalent, but

I?m running some logistic regressions and I?ve been trying to include weights in the equation. However, when I run the model, I get this warning message: Here?s what it says: Warning message: In eval(expr, envir, enclos) : non-integer #successes in a binomial glm! I think it is because the weights are non-integer values. What is a good way to run logistic regressions in R when using
