Quoth manpage: otherwise easily guessable (English prose has only 1-2 bits of entropy per word, and provides very bad passphrases). The passphrase can be Whoever wrote that manpage is either possessed of some amazing human insight to which I am not privvy, chose a very non-representative sample of English prose, or is just plain wrong. I know none of you would ever make such a glaring error,

Thank you for this comment, Mike. So... your suggestion is to make a valid transform for each loop like: >for (;C;) { > S >} > >is to transform: > >top: >if (!C) goto end; > S >goto top; >end: For now, my code is incomplete so not ready to present for audit yet but I hope it asap. In fact, I couldn't understand what you said: >The cost of the .pdf

Can R do a repeated measures MANOVA and tell what dimensionality the statistical variance occupies? I have been using MATLAB and SPSS to do my statistics. MATLAB can do ANOVAs and MANOVAs. When it performs a MANOVA, it returns a parameter d that estimates the dimensionality in which the means lie. It also returns a vector of p-values, where each p_n tests the null hypothesis that the mean

Dear useRs, I'm happy to announce a substantial update of package actuar that bumps the version number to 2.0-0. This release focuses on additional support for continuous and discrete distributions, new functions to simulate data from compound models and mixtures, and revised and improved documentation.

Dear Prof.Adve and Bill, I deeply appreciate your comments and concerns. (Please forgive my late response. I've tried some more cases to make this issue) As Prof.Adve mentioned, I need to explain exactly what my problem is, but I have no good ability that I can explain it in this plain text space. For this reason, I made a .pdf file and linked it as follows:

Hi, I am new to R. My problem is with the ordered logistic model. Here is my question: Generate an order discrete variable using the variable wrwage1 = wages in first full calendar quarter after benefit application in the following way: * wage*1*Ordered *= 1 *if*0 *· wrwage*1 *< *1000 2 *if*1000 *· wrwage*1 *< *2000 3 *if*2000 *· wrwage*1 *< *3000 4 *if*3000 *· wrwage*1 *<

Hello, I am trying to use an accounting program specifically written for the management of local churches in Belgium. The original program was written in BPW Borland Pascal for Windows. When a print command is given, absolutely nothing happens. When using the notepad under Wine, printing is ok. I am wondering if someone has met a similar problem. What could I do to print the output of the

I am always fascinating by good programming techniques. R contains a lot of very good examples I have been learning from. Since I am using some functions from package "wmtsa", I though I could borrow the elegant example, in the documentation of function "wavBestBasis" to compute the entropy from the Wavelet Transform coefficients. In the following I have pasted the excerpt,

why don't you do some profiling instead of posting so many lines of email?

Hi, this is not a R question per se, but since I'm on the lookout for an R solution I thought this was the best place: I would like to calculate the entropy for a variable and the conditional entropy between two variables, H(X|Y) for variables X & Y I have coded the case for the categorical case but I'm having problems understanding how to do it for the continous case. >From

Maybe its slightly off-topic, but can anybody help with computing entropy on matrix of probabilities? Guess we have a matrix of probabilites, A, 2x2, something like this: z x 0 1 2 3 4 0 0.063 0.018 0.019 0.016 0.000 1 0.011 0.162 0.040 0.042 0.003 2 0.015 0.030 0.164 0.033 0.002 3 0.012 0.035 0.036 0.159 0.002 4 0.004 0.021 0.018 0.013 0.082 sum(A)=1 Can i

Hello list. I need help (e.g., a reference, code, package, etc.) in calculating the joint entropy of many variables (some sure highly mutually-informative and some not). Is there anyone here who knows a computationally-efficient solution (such as an R package)? I appreciate you help ... Best, Reza [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello. I was just digging around in the net and found the thread http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/12/103 So my questions: Are there any (good) news concerning the implementation of /dev/random in the kernel? I just cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail and saw I have about 250 in the DomU''s and 3500 on Dom0. I haven''t even started to implement encryption for the different kind

I need to use entropy based feature selection to reduce term space while doing text classification. Are there any R packages available that would help me do this? I can also make do with chi squared based algorithm, if there are packages for that. Thanks in advance.

About an hour ago I started getting regular messages from cron running /usr/libexec/save-entropy which contail the single line "IPv4: not found" Anybody got any ideas ? The only thing I did at that porint was to do an 'rm' of /usr/obj in preparation for compiling this mornings 61 code to test it. Removing /usr/obj should not affect a running system at all.
