Dear R-users, I am new to R and would like to use it for fitting the zipf distribution to some numeric data that I have. Here's the snippet that I use: library(VGAM) X <- read.table(file("~\\mydata.txt", encoding="latin1")) w <- as.vector(t((X[2]))) w <- w/sum(w) y <- (1:length(w)) fit = vglm (y ~ 1, zipf, tra=TRUE, weight=w) zipf(N=NULL,

Dear all, Is there anyway too generate MA plot for 2 qPCR assays (an array of 2x 400). -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Bioconductor-MA-plot-for-qPCR-array-tp4182805p4182805.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Using R, I plotted a log-log plot of the frequencies in the Brown Corpus using plot(sort(file.tfl$f, decreasing=TRUE), xlab="rank", ylab="frequency", log="x,y") However, I would also like to add lines showing the curves for a Zipfian distribution and for Zipf-Mandelbrot. I have seen these in many articles that used R in creating graphs. Thank you! [[alternative HTML

Hi every one, How is it possible to create a matrix with 3 dimensions from several 2 dimensional matrice? Is it possible that each of "elementary/building block" matrices could be called by its corresponding original name? Thanks alot. -- View this message in context:

Hi all, I want to do this: B.list$aa= (a loop containing My.fun acting on the reults of second function on a A.list$aa)) or, overally B.list$aa = function (A.list$aa) B.list and A.list has many sublists aa, ab and.... Is there a way I can apply the function and loop on all sublists of A.list and get B.list? Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context:

Dear R-helpers I would like to do a fit of the form: y = a (x+c)**b, where a, b and c are unknown. Does anybody know how to do it? Thanks Thomas

Hi, Is there a Zipf-like distribution RNG in R? Thanks, Weiguang

Dear all, How can I fit a truncated power law to a vector? I can't find a function to do that. If the function provides an AIC, even better. John

Hi, I have a question on generating random variables based on zipf-mandelbrot distribution. So when I execute the following lines: ZM = lnre ("zm", alpha = 2/3, B=0.1) zmsample = rlnre (ZM, n =100) zmsample It generates 100 random values based on a zipf-mandelbrot distribution as below. But how do I make sure the generated random number is within the range of 1 - 6000 only? Can I

Newbie here. Many apologies in advance for using the incorrect lingo. I'm new to statistics and VERY new to R. I have a "nx2" matrix , I want to sort the values based on the average of 2 columns and put k lowest (or highest) values in bin1, second k high/low values in bin2, and so on (bins would be of the same dimensions). I should also know what the first index (or position) of

Hi all, I have a matrix (n*2), I want to compare 2 operators (2 normalization for array results) on these matrix. The 2 columns should ideally become the same after operations (normalization). So to compare operations, I do this for each normalization: s= sum (apply (normalized.matrix, 2,sd)) c= cor (normalized[,1],normalized [,2], method='pearson') I expect that if normalization 1

Hi there, How may I smooth spline two vectors with the smoothing parameter selected by generalized maximum likelihood (GML) .?

Dear all, I am new to R, and I am a biotechnologist, I want to fit a smoothing spline with smoothing parameter selected by generalized maximum likelihood. I was wondering what function implement this, and, if possible how I can find the fitted results for a certain point (or predict from the fitted spline if this is the correct language) -- View this message in context:

I have scoured the documentation and mailing list but can't find what seems to be an obvious question. I would simply like to index binary files (images, zips, dwg files) so that they are included in the search results. They wouldn't need to be parsed for content, only have the filenames searchable. Is this possible with Xapian? If not has anyone come up with an alternate strategy?

Sorry about the very long email, but this is a hairy topic that''s been annoying me for some time and I decided to try to do something about.
