This posting has nothing to do with R (except maybe that I am using R very heavily in writing the paper to which the question pertains.) I simply wish to draw upon the impressive knowledge and wisdom of the R community. Since this question is way off topic, if anybody has the urge to reply, they should probably email me directly: rolf at math.unb.ca rather than via this list. My question

Hi, (I''m not a list member and may not see any responses to this) I''ve been using btrfs on my Raspberry Pi. Yesterday I tried to use the "btrfs scrub" function and, while the scrub started OK, I couldn''t run "btrfs scrub status" to see what was happening. Whenever I ran it, I just got the command help. The same command on my x86 box worked OK.

Hello all (especially MCLUS users). I'm trying to make use of the MCLUST package by C. Fraley and A. Raftery. My problem is trying to figure out how the (model) identifier (e.g, EII, VII, VVI, etc.) relates to the covariance matrix. The parameterization of the covariance matrix makes use of the method of decomposition in Banfield and Rraftery (1993) and Fraley and Raftery (2002) where

Dear all, This is just a placeholder really - I've spent quite a lot of time trying to track down the cause of a problem I'm seeing here, and have eventually got an answer. Thought it might be useful to have the solution googleable. Obviously, if someone has better ideas, I'd welcome comments. Similarly, if anyone wants detailed logs, tcpdump or strace output, I'd be happy to

Sorry for starting another topic, this is actually a reply to Segher's post on Sun Oct 22 on the 'mdct question' topic. I wasn't subscribed properly and so I didn't get email confirmation and thus can't add to that thread. So Segher, if the equation is indeed what you say it is, then replacing mdct_backward with this version should work, but it doesn't. Am I applying

Hello, I was wondering if someone knows the formula used by the function lm to compute the t-values. I am trying to implement a linear regression myself. Assuming that I have K variables, and N observations, the formula I am using is: For the k-th variable, t-value= b_k/sigma_k With b_k is the coefficient for the k-th variable, and sigma_k =(t(x) x )^(-1) _kk is its standard deviation.

Is there a weighted median function out there similar to weighted.mean() but for medians? If not, I'll try implement or port it myself. The need for a weighted median came from the following optimization problem: x* = arg_x min (a|x| + sum_{k=1}^n |x - b_k|) where a : is a *positive* real scalar x : is a real scalar n : is an integer b_k: are negative and positive scalars

Dear readers, Is it possible to specify a model y=X %*% beta + Z %*% b ; b=(b_1,..,b_k) and b_i~N(0,v^2) for i=1,..,k that is, a model where the random slopes for different covariates are i.i.d., in lmer() and how? In lme() one needs a constant grouping factor (e.g.: all=rep(1,n)) and would then specify: lme(fixed= y~X, random= list(all=pdIdent(~Z-1)) ) , that?s how it's done in the

Hello, Say one starts with creating an archive rsync work -> archive and periodically (below, i = 1 to N) does rsync --backup-dir=a_<i> work -> archive and rsync --compare-dest=archive work -> b_<i> Then suppose one wants to recover the work directory as it was at time k. Using the b_<i> directories, one would merely merge

...as promised. This describes the mdct used in my d.m.l patch. I think it is the same as the Lee fast-dct. I typed it in a kind of pseudo-TeX, 'cause the ascii art would kill me. Hope you can read TeX source; if not, ask someone who can to make a .ps/.gif/.whatever of the TeX output, and put it on a webpage or something. I'm to lazy to do it (and besides, I don't have access to TeX,

Hello dear r-gurus! I have a question about the logit-model. I think I have misunderstood something and I'm trying to find a bug from my code or even better from my head. Any help is appreciated. The question is shortly: why I'm not having same coefficients from the logit-regression when using a link-function and an explicite transformation of the dependent. Below some details. I'm

How can I do this w/o restarting services or rebooting? Thanks! jlc

Hi, I want to be certain that my apache and varnish logfiles are in strict date order when rotated. I'd like to run a sort command against them before they're compressed. I've had a look at the logrotate man page, and it looks like I can use a postrotate/endscript to do this. However, I can see any reference in the documentation for how to operate on the file. All the examples

Hello list. This is not a life-threatening question, but still quite important for debugging. I have the following crontab : 15 0,8,12,17 * * * /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'logger rotate' Because I have debug level 9, logfiles get quite large. I notice that the rotation of the logfiles goes to plan, except at 17h15. I currently have : -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 59024 Dec 2 09:36

Hi I Have a very large dataset that I would like to conduct ANOVA tests on.

Hi, Can someone tell me which MDCT and invMDCT equation uses? I implemented the invMDCT one given in eusipco.corrected.ps file (handed out by Monty way back) and it produces different time domain samples. I tried both the FFT method and the slow way directly from the equation and couldn't reproduce the results from the original code. This leads me to believe that the forward MDCT used in

Can someone point me to the appropriate functions for fitting multiple statistical models that are coupled to each other. The data are measurements of salinity s and temperature t at stations id and pressures at p as well as surface elevations h at stations id. The problem is, for any new station, to estimate s at all p, given t at all p and given h. If h is ignored, the for each p, there

Hi, SAS transport files created with the xport engine in SAS can be read using read.xport. However, the xport engine only works with SAS version 6, and consequently long variable names are not allowed... Can anyone tell me how to get SAS data (ver 8) into R (easily)?

I'm having trouble with the logging in Samba 2.2.2. I usually specify the name of the logfile on the command line (e.g., "nmbd -D -l /path/to/logfiles"). This used to work with Samba 2.2.1a but does not work anymore with Samba 2.2.2. I could not find anything about changes to the logging mechanisms in the 2.2.2 announcement, so I am wondering what's wrong here. Specifying

Hi! I am currently using Sweave for writing my bachelor thesis - and I have a problem: I am using a LaTeX style (report) with quite big margin spaces. The Sweave generated LaTeX code "floats" into the margin - and it looks ugly. The text is blocked and fine... then there comes some flattering code running over the margin... and blocked text again. Considering the LaTeX output, I guess
