similar to: R question: generating data using MASS

Newsgroup members, Does anyone have a clever way to simulate a correlation matrix such that each column contains dichotomous variables (0,1) and where each column has different prevalence rates. For instance, I would like to simulate the following correlation matrix: > CORMAT[1:4,1:4] PUREPT PTCUT2 PHQCUT2T ALCCUTT2 PUREPT 1.0000000 0.5141552 0.1913139 0.1917923 PTCUT2

Dear R users, I’m trying to understand how correlated predictors impact the Relative Importance measure in Stochastic Boosting Trees (J. Friedman). As Friedman described “ …with single decision trees (referring to Brieman’s CART algorithm), the relative importance measure is augmented by a strategy involving surrogate splits intended to uncover the masking of influential variables by others

Thanks for your reply. I use mvrnorm from the *MASS* package and lmrob from the *robustbase* package. To further explain my data generating process, the idea is as follows. The explanatory variables are generated my a multivariate normal distribution where the covariance matrix of the variables is defined by Sigma in my code, with ones on the diagonal and rho = 0.15 on the non-diagonal. Then y

Dear List: First, many thanks to those who offered assistance while I constructed code for the simulation. I think I now have code that resolves most of the issues I encountered with memory. While the code works perfectly for smallish datasets with small sample sizes, it arouses a windows-based error with samples of 5,000 and 250 datasets. The error is a dialogue box with the following: "R

Dear all, I have been trying to investigate the behaviour of different weights in weighted regression for a dataset with lots of missing data. As a start I simulated some data using the following: library(MASS) N <- 200 sigma <- matrix(c(1, .5, .5, 1), nrow = 2) sim.set <- as.data.frame(mvrnorm(N, c(0, 0), sigma)) colnames(sim.set) <- c('x1', 'x2') # x1 & x2 are

d is the number of observed variables (d = 3 in this example). n is the number of observations. 2018-03-04 11:30 GMT+01:00 Eric Berger <ericjberger at gmail.com>: > What is 'd'?

Dear list members, I want to perform an MM-regression. This seems an easy task using the function lmrob(), however, this function provides me with NA coefficients. My data generating process is as follows: rho <- 0.15 # low interdependency Sigma <- matrix(rho, d, d); diag(Sigma) <- 1 x.clean <- mvrnorm(n, rep(0,d), Sigma) beta <- c(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0) error <- rnorm(n = n,

Dear All, I wonder if there is any implemented statistical test in R to test the equality between many correlations. As an example, let X1, X2, X3 X4 be four random variables. let Phi(X1,X2) , Phi(X1,X3) and Phi(X1,X4) be the corresponding correlations. How to test Phi(X1,X2) = Phi(X1,X3) = P(X1,X4)? Many thanks in advance, Bernard

Hi all, I understand that it is simple to create data with a specific correlation (say, .5) using mvrnorm from the MASS library: > library(MASS) > set.seed(1) > > a=mvrnorm( + n=10 + ,mu=rep(0,2) + ,Sigma=matrix(c(1,.5,.5,1),2,2) + ,empirical=T + ) > a [,1] [,2] [1,] -1.0008380 -1.233467875 [2,] -0.1588633 -0.003410001 [3,] 1.2054727 -0.620558768

Hi, I would like to estimate coefficients using poisson regression and then get standard errors that are adjusted for heteroskedasticity, using a complex sample survey data. Then I will calculate prevalence ratio and confidence intervals. Can sandwich estimator of variance be used when observations aren?t independent? In my case, observations are independent across groups (clusters), but

Dear list, I am trying to use the 'mvrnorm' function from the MASS package for simulating multivariate Gaussian data with given covariance matrix. The diagonal elements of my covariance matrix should be the same, i.e., all variables have the same marginal variance. Also all correlations between all pair of variables should be identical, but could be any value in [-1,1]. The problem I am

Hi All This might be something very trivial but I seem to miss something in the syntax or logic which makes me keep wandering around the problem without arriving at a solution. What I want to do is to simulate a sample data for performing cluster analysis. I tried to use x1= mvrnorm(10,rep(0.8,3),diag(3)) x2= mvrnorm(10,rep(0,3),diag(3)) x3= mvrnorm(10,rep(-0.5,3),diag(3)) x=rbind(x1,x2,x3)

Hello, does anybody know another faster function for random multivariate normal variable simulation? I'm using mvrnorm, but as profiling shows, my algorithm spends approximately 50 % in executing mvrnorm function. Maybe some of you knows much faster function for multivariate normal simulation? I would be very gratefull for advices. -- View this message in context:

Dear List: I am generating N datasets using the following Sigma<-matrix(c(400,80,80,80,80,400,80,80,80,80,400,80,80,80,80,400),4,4 ) mu<-c(100,150,200,250) N=100 for(i in 1:N) { assign(paste("Data.", i, sep=''), as.data.frame(cbind(seq(1:1000),(mvrnorm(n=1000, mu, Sigma))))) } With these datasets, I need to work on some of the variables and then run each dataset

Hi all, [this is a bit hard to describe, so if my initial description is confusing, please try running my code below] #WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO I'd appreciate any help in trying to speed up some code. I've written a script that converts a matrix of integers (usually between 1-10,000 - these represent allele names) into two new matrices of normally distributed values (representing

Hello Everyone, I was analysing big survey data using survey packages on RStudio. Survey package allows survey data analysis with the design effect.The survey package included functions for all other statistical analysis except two-proportion z tests. I was trying to calculate the difference in prevalence of Diabetes and Prediabetes between the year 2011 and 2017 (with 95%CI). I was able to

Hi, I would like to simulate data with a binary outcome and a set of predictors that are correlated. I want to be able to fix the number of event (Y=1) vs. non-event (Y=0). Thus, I fix this and then simulate the predictors. I have 2 questions: 1. When the predictors are continuous, I can use mvrnorm(). However, if I have continuous, ordinal and binary predictors, I'm not sure how to simulate

Dear everyone, I am having problem simulating multivariate data. Though I was able to simulate the data, but finding the variance-covariance matrix of simulated data did not give exact covariance matrix used in simulating the data. Unlike some other packages, like stata, using command "corr2data" will simulate data having the covariance matrix exactly with the specified covariance
