Hi, I am trying to maximize a utility function using optim. I have a problem with optim, since some of the values in the caw, mom, me and btm matrixes in the code bellow are missing. Is there a handy way just to skip the missing values in the loop? g <- 5 retp <- NULL object <- function (x) { b1 <- x[1] b2 <- x[2] b3 <- x[3] for(i in 1:nrow(ret)){ for(j

Hi, when using a laptop and trying to install packages for R for Windows 2.2.1 I get the following error > utils:::menuInstallPkgs() --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- Warning: unable to access index for repository http://cran.dk.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.2 Warning: unable to access index for repository

I have R-0.62.3 and RedHat 5.0 with fort77. At the office R is running but when I install a package, eg. 'akima' I get a message make: f77: Command not found 'R INSTALL library' does not accept fort77, but R installation checks f77/g77/fort77. Is there an easy way to edit some file and replace f77/g77 with fort77? At home I have the same R and Linux versions, but when

Sigfried, I am not a statistician, but I have learned that according to the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) sums of random variables, regardless of their form, will tend to be normally distributed. CLT does not require the variables in the sum to come from the same underlying distribution. Ciao, Hannu Kahra Progetti Speciali Monte Paschi Asset Management SGR S.p.A. Via San Vittore, 37 IT-20123

I have a monthly price index series x, the related return series y = diff(log(x)) and a POSIXlt date-time variable dp. I would like to apply annual blocks to compute for example annual block maxima and mean of y. When studying the POSIX classes, in the first stage of the learning curve, I computed the maximum drawdown of x: > mdd <- maxdrawdown(x) > max.dd <- mdd$maxdrawdown > from

We here at HGSI have a consultant doing some statistical work for us. HGSI bought and installed SAS, but our consultant insists that R and Rweb is a better solution. I do not know either package so I do not know, hence we are ditching SAS for R and Rweb. Any comments on this are welcom. Now for the real problem. Rweb is very expensive (time wise). The number of prereqs is way more than I thought

Hi, I have a graph with seven parallel horizontal lines. Is it possible to shade the area between two adjacent lines? Thank you in advance, Hannu

Dear ExpeRts,t I am trying to read tab delimted data produced by somewhat brain dead software that seems to think it's a good idea to have an extra tab character after the last column - except for the header line. As explained in the help page, read.delim now assumes that the first column contains the row.names (which is not even wrong) but now and all col.names get shiftet by one column.

Hi, I have adviced my students to install R and an editor on a USB drive for working in the computer class. With R everything works fine following these instructions: http://personal.bgsu.edu/~mrizzo/Rmisc/usbR.htm. But several editors (e.g., Tinn-R and WinEdt) require administrator rights. I have found out that Emacs (Vincent Goulet's Emacs for Windows Modified

Hello: would you please help me with the following glm question? for the R function glm, what I understand is: once you specify the "family", then the link function is fixed. My question is: is it possible I use, for example, "log" link function, but the estimation approach for the guassian family? Thanks, Shuangge Ma, Ph.D. ******************************************** *

Hello All, I would like to optimize a (log-)likelihood function subject to a number of linear constraints between parameters. These constraints are equality constraints of the form A%*%theta=c, ie (1,1) %*% 0.8,0.2)^t = 1 meaning that these parameters should sum to one. Moreover, there are bounds on the individual parameters, in most cases that I am considering parameters are bound between zero

Dear R users, I've just posted a similar question about Illustrator. This time I would like to export the results of my statistic tables and my dataframes into Excel files. Up to now I've used write.csv(), but I have to resave every file in .xls in Excel. I would like to know if there is a function or package to export directly into *.xls. I have found xlsReadWrite which would be
