similar to: R-beta: Bug in dhyper (and phyper) (fwd)

Aloha all, I know too little about what I'm about to write and hope I'm not wasting your time. For a class I'm teaching in archaeological data analysis, I'm trying to put together a routine that calculates the so-called Petersen index and, especially, confidence intervals for the index. This was introduced to archaeologists by N.R.J. Fieller and A. Turner in an article

Hi there, Here is a record of an R session: > library(survival4) Autoloading required package: splines > coxph(Surv(c(1,2,3,4), c(1,1,1,1)) ~ c(1,0,1,0)) Error in .C("coxfit2", iter = as.integer(iter.max), as.integer(n), as.integer(nvar), : C/Fortran function not in load table Why is "coxfit2" not in the load table? How do I fix it? System is Linux. Goran

Hmm... I have the same problem on hpux10.20. I put the additional libs into a subdir called contrib, and R INSTALL from there. I have R-0.61.1 Alpha Dec21 1997. Without restored data they work OK.

Full_Name: Morten Welinder Version: snapshot OS: Submission from: (NULL) (65.213.85.218) Time to kick phyper's tires... The current version has very serious cancellation issues. For example, if you ask for a small right-tail you are likely to get total cancellation. For example phyper(59, 150, 150, 60, FALSE, FALSE) gives 6.372680161e-14. The right answer is dhyper(0, 150, 150, 60,

Dear All I have a question about the hypergeomteric distribution. Example 1: I have a universe of 6187 objects, and 164 have a particular attribute, therefore 6187-164 do not have that attribute. I sample 249 of those objects, and find that 19 have that attribute. I get a p-value here (looking at just over-representation): phyper(19, 164, 6187-164, 249, lower.tail=FALSE) [1] 7.816235e-06

Hi all, I have tried to compute a p-value for a hypergeometric distribution as: dhyper(x,k,l,n) + phyper(x,k,l,n,lower.tail=FALSE) and sometimes obtained negative values. Do you know if it is because a round error or am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance, Aurora

Hi, I hope somebody can help me on how to use the hypergeometric function. I did read through the R documentation on hypergeometric but not really sure what it means. I would like to evaluate the hypergeometric function as follows: F((2*alpha+1)/2, (2*alpha+2)/2 , alpha+1/2, betasq/etasq). I'm not sure which function should be used- either phyper or qhyper or dhyper Where

I'm going to use dhyper(x, m, n, k) to get a 95% coverage. Let me use an example to explain my problem: Suppose I have a urn containing 90 red and 10 black balls. Now I wanna remove 3 from the urn. By the following codes: m<-90;n<-10;k<-3; x<-0:3 dhyper(x,m,n,k) I can obtain the probability that 0,1,2,3 red balls will be removed. 0.000742115 0.025046382 0.247680891

I'm wondering how odds ratio is computed. I thought that it is (n11/n12)/(n21/n22), but it is not what fisher.test() computes.

In both versions of R to which I currently have access (R-0.16.1 and R-0.61.1), "phyper" stops returning correct cumulative probabilities as the parameters of the hypergeometric distribution get large. For example, when N1=1345, N2=1055, and n=1330, phyper returns either 0 or 1, and nothing in between. Looking at phyper.c, it's clear what's happening. First a term (called

"help" We want to estimate the number of caribou in Jasper. We recently conducted an aerial survey and saw 70 uncollared caribou and 8 of 11 collared caribou. We want to estimate the number of caribou in this population with 95% confidence limits. Gary White uses the hypergeometric distribution and determines the population estimates using maximum likelihood and 95%CL as

There is a problem with `rpois'. It does seem to take care about the order of the arguments. This is an example: > rpois(n=1,lambda=2) [1] 3 > rpois(lambda=2,n=1) [1] 2 0 It obviously uses the first argument as the number of samples to be drawn, which is wrong. I used Version 0.49 Beta (April 23, 1997). Fredrik
