For block effects with small variance, lmer will sometimes estimate the variance as being very close to zero and issue a warning. I don't have a problem with this -- I've explored things a bit with some simulations (see below) and conclude that this is probably inevitable when trying to incorporate random effects with not very much data (the means and medians of estimates are plausibly

I have a time series of data from an electroencephalogram (EEG). I wish to filter the data to get rid of 50Hz mains 'hum'. I have 'designed' a combination bandpass and notch filter using a web- site. The site returns the filter in "ANSI C" source code. It is:- /* Digital filter designed by mkfilter/mkshape/gencode A.J. Fisher Command line:

I'm looking for something in R to fit a multivariate linear model robustly, using an M-estimator or any of the myriad of other robust methods for linear models implemented in robustbase or methods based on MCD or MVE covariance estimation (package rrcov). E.g., one can fit an mlm for the iris data as: iris.mod <- lm(cbind(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width, Petal.Length, Petal.Width) ~ Species,

My name is Michela Marignani and I'm an ecologist trying to solve a problem linked to knight' s tour algorithm. I need a program to create random matrices with presence/absence (i.e. 1,0 values), with defined colums and rows sums, to create null models for statistical comparison of species distribution phenomena. I've seen on the web many solutions of the problem, but none provides

The Wine development release 1.5.30 is now available. What's new in this release (see below for details): - Mouse capture support in the Mac driver. - NTLM and Negotiate authentication in WinHTTP. - Support for proxy bypass in WinInet. - Various bug fixes. The source is available from the following locations: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine-1.5.30.tar.bz2

Here is a proposal for a new ''copies'' property which would allow different levels of replication for different filesystems. Your comments are appreciated! --matt A. INTRODUCTION ZFS stores multiple copies of all metadata. This is accomplished by storing up to three DVAs (Disk Virtual Addresses) in each block pointer. This feature is known as "Ditto Blocks".
