R-helpers: It looks like http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/search.html has stopped spidering the mailing lists -- this used to be my go-to site for searching for R solutions. Are there any good replacements for this? I want to be able to search both functions and mailing lists at the same time. Cheers! --j -- Jonathan A.

Folks, I'm kind of newbie in R, but with some background in Matlab and VBA programming. Last month I was implementing a Maximum Likelihood Estimation in Matlab, but the algorithms didn't converge. So my academic advisor suggested using R. My problem is: estimate a mean reverting jump diffusion parameters. I've succeeded in deriving the likelihood function (which looks like a gaussian

Hey there, I was wondering if someone could tell me if there's a package or command that allows me to compute a GINI coefficient using a vector of weights. Also the coefficient should be bias corrected. Diego Rojas [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi just a quick question in which I must use the "function and return" part of R. If I was asked to define a function called "median" where the function has a single argument x and returns the median value of a vector. How would I go about saying the median = element x in terms of n (say (n + 1)/2 or whatever it would be) if there is an even amount of elements, or x in terms

Dear R folks, I am having problems getting good results when searching for R related topics, that means I have not found out yet what keywords I should use to get only relevant results. Most of the time I get also MATLAB related things and nothing related at all. The nature of this is of course the name of R consisting just of one letter. What keywords do you use? Or do you just go to certain

Don't do anything yet. I may have found the problem by accident. I tried to use the computer from something else, and it was being drastically slowed down by some leftover processes, which turned out to be xlhtml. That is something that converts Excel files. Apparently, some excel files got into the libraries, and they were causing the indexing to hang completely. I am now running everything

Hello, All: Jonathan Baron is "giving up" maintaining the RSiteSearch database. This breaks three things: (1) The R Site Search web service that Baron has maintained. (2) The RSiteSearch function in the utils package. (3) The sos package, for which I'm the maintainer and lead author. Might someone else be willing to take these over? For me,

Hi everyone, I have a very quick question: Is there a ready-made function in R or any R packages to find the prime factorization of an integer? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Prime-Factorization-tp2548877p2548877.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hello everyone. In matlab  (again) there is a fucntion find that returns you the indexes where the condition in find was met. I want the same functionality in R i.e find(Mydata>2) to return all the indexes where the condition is met. Do you know something like that? Also when I try to search in google using for example the word R inside the search lemma I get very few results as the R confuses

Hello, I need some results from the survival analysis of my data that I do not know whether exist in Survival Package or how to obtain if they do: 1. The Mean survival time 2. The standard error of the mean 3. Point and 95% Lower & Upper Confidence Intervals estimates Any help will be greatly appreciated. Cem [[alternative HTML version

Dear R-users, I am looking for a R function that would be the equivalent of the SAS proc freq ( http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/procstat/63104/HTML/default/viewer.htm#/documentation/cdl/en/procstat/63104/HTML/default/procstat_freq_sect006.htm). The table, ftable, xtabs functions are close but do not quite offer the same capabilities (e.g. they just return counts and no %ages as far as

Dear colleagues in R, Has anybody implemented the 1) (Goodman & Kruskal) lambda or the 2) (Thiel's) uncertainty coefficient statistics (in the asymmetric and symmetric forms), or is anyone aware that they might reside in some package? A search in the R archives does indicate that they are (somehow) part of the CoCo package, but I would rather not start learning how to transform my

Hello: How can one get the number of functions and data sets in a package? I've written a function "PackageSum2" to get an extended package summary for an installed package. I get much of what I want from the object returned by "help(package=pkgName)". For example, "help(pac=...)$info[[1]]" is a character vector giving author, maintainer,

Hi I tried to calculate modified Diebold-Mariano Test in R . I have already find a "forecast" package to calculate the Diebold-Mariano Test.

Hi, I want to fit a mean and variance model jointly. For example I might want to fit an AR(2)-GARCH(1,1) model i.e. r_t = constant_term1 + b*r_t-1 + c*r_t-2 + a_t where a_t = sigma_t*epsilon_t where sigma^2_t = constant_term2 + p*sigma^2_t-1 + q*a^2_t-1 i.e. R estimates a constant_term1, b, c, constant_term2, p, q TIA Aditya

Dear Experts, If I have a vector of numbers x. (1) How can I write R code to compute the moments around zero of order one to four?

Hello, I am a new R user and trying to learn how to implement the mahalanobis function to measure the distance between to 2 population centroids. I have used STATISTICA to calculate these differences, but was hoping to learn to do the analysis in R. I have implemented the code as below, but my results are very different from that of STATISTICA, and I believe I may not have interpreted the help
