Hi RUsers, I am wonder if I can search observations whose IDs matches any of the values in another vector, such as in MySQL. While I am learing MySQL for future database management, I appreciate if anyone could give me a hint. Suppose I have one 5*1 vector containing observation IDs and frequencies, and one 3*1 vector containing observation IDs. observation<-c(1,2,3,4,5) ID<-c(1,3,4)

Hi R users, I appreciate if you could give me some hint/help on this string operation. Suppose I have a list of string objects in varying sizes like [[1]] [1] "A" [2] "B" [3] "C" [[2]] [1] "D" [2] "E" [[3]] [1] "F" Then I would like to create a vector that contains all elements like [1] "A" "B" "C"

Hi I bought a new laptop HP dv9500 just a week ago and installed a Ubuntu gutsy ribbon on this laptop. I wanted to install Fedora but there are more threads on Ubuntu, so I decided to install Ubuntu. After hours of struggle in configuring x server/graphic card stuff, I installed R for Gutsy ribbon using "sudo apt-get install g77 r-core'. Now when I tried to install 'sp' package

Hi, I just wonder if this is a rounding error by the princomp command in R. Although this does not make much sense, using a hypothetical dataset, a, a<-matrix(runif(1000),100,10) I did PCA with the princomp, and compared it with the results estimated with the eigen and the prcomp commands. And I found some differences in the results: opposite signs in the loadings; slight differences in

Hi, I am trying to install RSQLite package on my Fedora workstation. I tried to install other packages as well, but each time I got the same error messages saying "compilation error" and "non zero exit status". Do I have to specify "lib="? I never specified the library path before when I was using Fedora Core 6. Warning in install.packages("RSQLite")

Hi, I'm running this for a simulation study, so many combinations of parameter produce many predictions that I need to correlate with data. The problem ---------------- I'm using rating data with 3 to 5 categories (e.g., too low, correct, too high). The underlying continuous scales should be normal, so I chose the polychoric correlation. I'm using library(polychor) in its

Hello. Using the polychor function > polychor(data[c(s1,s2)] ) for polychoric correlations of two ordinal variables in R takes a long time for N=7000 (20 minutes+) and significantly slows down my computer. Now, I have a pretty old computer, but it takes about 20 seconds for MPLUS to print out the complete polychoric correlation matrix for all 16 variables, while I am running the R function

A bit late, but you might like to look at http://www.qimr.edu.au/davidD/polyr.R Regarding the original posters queries: You can analyse polychoric correlations as if they were Pearson correlations using standard software (eg sem), and this usually doesn't do too badly, or go to AWLS (Browne) in LISREL etc, or ML analysis of the full multidimensional contingency table using programs such as

Hello, I am running polychoric correlations on a dataset composed of 12 ordinal and binary variables (N =384), using the polycor package. One of the association (between 2 dichotomous variables) is very high using the 2-step estimate (0.933 when polychoric run only between the two variables; but 0.801 when polychoric run on the 12 variables). The same correlation run with ML estimate returns a

Dear Professor Fox, Apologies for my oversight relating to the polychor command and thank you for your advice. I turned to the polychor command when trying to find an equivalent for the polychoric command found in the psych package (I am following a procedure outlined in Gadermann, Guhn & Zumbo, 2012 that uses this command rather than the polycor package) . The polychoric command is returning

Hi there, I'm generally more a Stata user than a R user, but I need to computed something, and I am not able to do it with Stata 13. So, here I am! I have a database that has multiple imputations (imputations are already done) with a complex sample design (Strate and Weight). Is it possible, in R, to run polychoric correlation with multiple imputation, a Strate and a Weight ? For the

I have data set with binary responses. I would like to conduct polychoric principal component analysis (pPCA). I know there are several packages used in PCA but I could not find one that directly estimate pPCA and graph the individuals and variables maps. I will appreciate any help that expand these reproducible scripts. #How to conduct polychoric principal component analysis pPCA using #either

Hello, It has been found that SEM analysis using polychoric correlations + maximum likelihood estimator produces incorrect test statistics and standard errors (e.g., Flora, D. B., & Curran, P. J. (2004). An Empirical Evaluation of Alternative Methods of Estimation for Con?rmatory Factor Analysis With Ordinal Data. Psychological Methods, 9(4), 466-491). Standard errors can be dealt with by

Hi there, Am I correct to believe that tetrachoric correlation is a special case of polychoric correlation when there are only two levels to the ordered factor? Thus it should be okay to use hetcor from the polycor package to build a matrix of correlations for binary variables? If this is true, how can one estimate 95% confidence intervals for the correlations? My guess would be mat =

Dear list members, I've uploaded a new package, called polycor (version 0.5-0), to CRAN. The package has functions for computing polychoric and polyserial correlations, either by maximum-likelihood (in which case, standard errors are available) or by faster approximations. There's also a function to compute "heterogeneous" correlation matrices composed of product-moment,

Hi, I created a matrix of correlation coefficients and their respective scatterplots using the commands hetcor() and panel.cor(). Can I edit this matrix? I would like to have the scale values display at the top, as opposed to the alternating top-bottom scale approach. Also, I would like to increase the font size of the graphic for print purposes. Any help on how to accomplish this would be

Dear all, I get a strange error when I find polychoric correlations with the ML method, which I have been able to reproduce using randomly-generated data. What is wrong? I realize that the data that I generated randomly is a bit strange, but it is the only way that I duplicate the error message. > n<-100 > test.x<-rnorm(n, mean=0, sd=1) > test.c<-test.x + rnorm(n, mean=0,
