similar to: quadratic model with plateau

Hi All, I am trying to shift from running mixed models in SAS using PROC MIXED to using lme4 package in R. In trying to match the coefficients of R output to that of SAS output, I came across this problem. The dataset I am using is this one: http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/statug/63033/HTML/default/viewer.htm#statug_mixed_sect034.htm If I run the following code: proc mixed data=rc

Dear R colleagues: Am trying to fit a simple NL model to determine Economical Optimum Nitrogen Rates. The segmented (quadratic + plateau) model only works with some y's, in some cases I get a "singular gradient" error. I'll appreciate any ideas in how to solve the singular gradient error. Thanks, Jose # The following code works using yield2 in the nls model but not using

DeaR experts, I was asked for a log-rank pairwise survival comparison. I've a straightforward way to do this using the SAS system: http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/statug/63033/HTML/default/viewer.htm#/documentation/cdl/en/statug/63033/HTML/default/statug_lifetest_sect019.htm What I've found in R is shown below, but it's not a logrank test, I suppose. (The documentation

Dear All, I'm a beginner user in R and I would like to make a quadratic and plateau model in R. Can you help please with an example? Thanks so much -- Ahmed M.

lrm does some binning to make the calculations faster. The exact calculation is obtained by running f <- lrm(...) rcorr.cens(predict(f), DA), which results in: C Index Dxy S.D. n missing 0.96814404 0.93628809 0.03808336 32.00000000 0.00000000 uncensored Relevant Pairs Concordant Uncertain 32.00000000

Hello, I am working on extracting data from sound recording (fee bee song of the black-capped chickadee). I obtained a two column matrix with x=time(s) and y=frequency(khz). The part of the recording that is interesting me is when the frequency is stable. Does somebody ever used a fonction that extract only constant data among a huge list of data (sample= 180000)? Thanks Thibault Grava

Hi All, I'd like to build a package for the community that replicates the output produced by SAS "proc varclus". According to the SAS documentation, the first few steps are: 1. Find the first two principal components. 2. Perform an orthoblique rotation (quartimax rotation) on eigenvectors. 3. Assign each variable to the rotated component with which it has the higher squared

Hi all, Consider the following function: #### my.func = function(x){ y=ifelse(x>-.5,0,ifelse(x< -.8,abs(x)/2,abs(x))) print(c(x,y)) #print what was tested and what the result is return(y) } curve(my.func,from=-1,1) #### When I attempt to find the maximum of this function, which should be -.8, I find that optimize gets stuck in the plateau area and doesn't bother testing the

Hello All, ? Am replicating in R an analysis I did earlier using SAS. See this as a test of whether I'm ready to start using R in my day-to-day work. ? Just finished replicating a Kaplan Meier analysis. Everything seems to work out fine except for one thing. The 95% CI around my estimate for the median is substantially larger in R than in SAS. For example, in SAS I have a median of 3.29 with a

Hello, I have a question regarding the candisc package. My data are: species three five 1 2.95 6.63 1 2.53 7.79 1 3.57 5.65 1 3.16 5.47 2 2.58 4.46 2 2.16 6.22 2 3.27 3.52 I put these in a table and then a linear model >newdata <- lm(cbind(three, five) ~ species, data=rawdata) and then do a candisc on them >candata<-candisc(newdata)

Hello all, I'm trying to establish some confidence intervals on predictions I am making using >predict(nls(...)) and predict.nls (unfortunately) does not utilize the se.fit option. A little more background is that I am trying to match the output with older SAS routines to maintain consistency. Because predict.nls does not provide se's for individual predictions, I have been using a

Dear list members, I am analysing my microarray data using limma package. Now I encounter several problems. Looking forward to your suggestions! Question 1: During the process of background correction using method="normexp", four warning messages appeared as "NaNs produced in: log(x)" (as you can see in the program posted below). What does that mean? How will it effect the

Dear All, I am analysing a dataset on levels of herbivory in seedlings in an experimental setup in a rainforest. I have seven classes/categories of seedling damage/herbivory that I want to analyse, modelling each separately. There are twenty maternal trees, with eight groups of seedlings around each. Each tree has a TreeID, which I use as the random effect (blocking factor). There are two

Hi, Does anybody have experience to solve an quadratic programming problem with quadratic constraints in R? It seems that the package "quadprog" only handles the quadratic programming with linear constraint. My probelm is to maximze x^T\Sigma_{xy} y, subject to x^Tx=1, y^T\Sigma_{yy} y=1, and sum(y)<t, or sum(y)=t, where x and y are the variable, and the Sigma's and t are

Hi all, Could anybody please point me to the solver function in R on QCQP? The quadprog package seems to be only able to handle the linear constraints... Thank you! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I'm attempting to find multiple breakpoints in an association of my response variable (R.AUC) with two explanatory variables ('s.size' and 'bedekking'). The association between 's.size' and 'R.AUC' shows a plateau, but the value when this plateau is reached is differs for different values of 'bedekking'. Initially I thought these different

Hi there are some predefined self-start functions, like SSmicmen, SSbiexp, SSasymp, SSasympOff, SSasympOrig, SSgompertz, SSflp, SSlogis, SSweibull, Quadratic, Qubic, SSexp (nlrwr) Btw, do you know graphic examples for this functions? The SSexpDecay (exponential decay) for y = (y0 - plateau)*exp(-k*x) + plateau from

Hi there, Is it basically possible to solve a non-convex quadratic programming with optimal solution by any way? What could be the way? How can be this problem dealt with? Could you guide me to some references please? I thank you very much for eny help. Tobi --------------------------------- Boardwalk for $500? In 2007? Ha! ---------------------------------

Dear R Users , As a beginner in QP, I'm trying to solve a Support Vector Machine problem by a QP. In particulare I am using the quadprog package. My questions are here: 1- In the document for the package (The quadprog Package), the inequality constraint is mentioned with >= , however in a standard QP, this usaully is written with <= . This constraint should be multiplied by a
