similar to: acs package: analyze data from the U.S. American Community Survey

We are pleased to announce the release of version 2.1.0 of the "acs" package, now available on CRAN <http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/acs/index.html>. The package allows users to download, manipulate, analyze, and present demographic data from the U.S. Census, with special tools and methods to simplify the tasks of working with estimates and standard errors contained in data

Ari, There were multiple errors in the acs package. If CRAN states that the maintainer abandoned it, that is what happened. Had you reached out to Ezra Glenn (cc-ed here) and offered to help keep the package maintained, this hiccup need not have happened. The three problems were: 1) stale URLs using http: not https:, of which some are dead (locally changed to https:, so reported as such):

Roger, just to you: Thanks for taking the time! I hope that Ari follows your recommendation, fingers crossed.

*Bottom Line: How can I compare the individual components of two data frames with different row lengths without the levels interfering?* Example: I have two data frames to those respectively named 'dfCity' and 'dfState' that have the following output: dfCity Name City 1 Bill Detroit 2 Jody Chicago 3 Frank Memphis 4 Ron Houston

Hello, I want to create side-by-side maps of similar attribute data in two different cities using a single legend. To simply display side-by-side census block group boundary (non-thematic) maps for Minneapolis & Cleveland I do the following: library(rgdal) library(sp) Minneapolis=readOGR("../Minneapolis/Census/2010/Census_BlockGroup_GEO/","tl_2010_27053_bg10")

I am trying to perform a backwards stepwise variable selection with an mlogit model. The usual functions, step(), drop1(), and dropterm() do not work for mlogit models. Update() works but I am only able to use it manually, i.e. I have to type in each variable I wish to remove by hand on a separate line. My goal is to write some code that will systematically remove a certain set of variables

Hi Folks: I am oot able to add HP Intel 4Port PCIe to a linux hvm domain. HW is a HP DC7900. ErrorMessage: VmError: pci: to avoid potential security issue, 0000:22:00.0 is not allowed to be assigned to guest since it is behind PCIe switch that does not support or enable ACS. I also added in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp: pci-passthrough-strict-check no pci-dev-assign-strict-check no but no

Hi all, I've got an old avaya partner acs <7.0 system here. I'd like to add a simple voip bridge so I can hook up our remote offices. From my research, it would seem the pre-7.0 series doesn't have a t1 port, so if I wanted to do this, I would have to feed the avaya system fxs ports from the asterisk box. Does that sound about right? Has anybody ever done this? Does

Hi, Has anybody tried to get an ACR-38 USB smart card reader working with the devel/pcsc-lite library under FreeBSD? The vendor, Advanced Card Systems, seems to provide a Linux driver with sources, which I could probably port without too much hassle (depending on the license and such) at http://www.acs.com.hk/downloads_drivers.asp#ACR38, but neither that page nor Google nor marc.theaimsgroup.com

I'm trying to connect an Asterisk system to an Avaya Partner ACS R6 system. The problem I'm having is that I cannot get the partner system to get CallerID over the T1 modlue. The partner is using the T1 with E & M signalling (which I don't think can be changed), and whatever I tried didn't work. My only option right now is to get FXS ports on the Avaya side plugged into the

Hi, folks: I remain intrigued by the gap in BRI implementation between North America and Europe, and I wanted to get feedback from the list members on the matter. I'm seriously considering making the leap in our office. In Europe, the idea that an office that does not have enough lines to justify PRI would use analog lines is perceived as technologically backwards, and yet that's what

Hello, I am using lmer (LME4) to build a model from data for 19 different neighborhoods drawn, in part, from the American Communities Survey (ACS). The ACS data is static while other variables change over the five years under investigation. I am new to mixed effects models and was hoping that someone could suggest a way to include the ACS standard error for each covariate into the model. I

Hello all - does anyone know if there is a package in R that will allow me to create a map of the US (or individual states) that uses the American Community Survey PUMS boundaries? Thanks [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Howdy, Referencing the below exchange: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2006-April/103862.html I am still getting the same warning ("non-integer #successes in a binomial glm!") when using svyglm:::survey. Using the API data: library(survey) data(api) #stratified sample dstrat<-svydesign(id=~1,strata=~stype, weights=~pw, data=apistrat, fpc=~fpc)

A procedure that , after adjusting for sampling weights, also explicitly does an age adjustment to conform with an age distribution of an older census?

I have a repetative task in R and i'm trying to find a more efficient way to perform the following task. lst <- list(roots = c("car insurance", "auto insurance"), roots2 = c("insurance"), prefix = c("cheap", "budget"), prefix2 = c("low cost"), suffix = c("quote", "quotes"),

Dear all, Kosuke Imai and I announce the new package "list," which is now available on CRAN. list: Multivariate Statistical Analysis for the Item Count Technique List allows researchers to conduct multivariate statistical analyses with data from the item count technique for sensitive survey questions. This survey methodology, also known as the list experiment or the unmatched count

I know nothing about your package, but "list" is a terrible name for it, as "list" is also the name of a data type in R. -- Jeff

I'm writing a function and keep getting the following error message. myfunc <- function(lst) { lst <- list(roots = c("car insurance", "auto insurance"), roots2 = c("insurance"), prefix = c("cheap", "budget"), prefix2 = c("low cost"), suffix = c("quote", "quotes"), suffix2 = c("rate",
