Dear friends. Is this as expected ?

Dear all, we received a bug report for betareg, that in some cases the optim call in betareg.fit would hang the R session and the command cannot be interrupted by Ctrl-C? We narrowed down the problem to the dbeta function which is used for the log likelihood evaluation in betareg.fit. Particularly, the following command hangs the R session to a 100% CPU usage in all systems we tried it (OS X

Hi, sorry for repeating the question but this is kind of important to me and i don't know whom should i ask. So as noted before when I do a parameter fit to the beta distr i get: fitdist(vectNorm,"beta"); Fitting of the distribution ' beta ' by maximum likelihood Parameters: estimate Std.

Dear all, I am trying to use the logistic regression with MCMClogit (package: MCMCpack/Coda) and I want to put a beta prior on the parameters, but it's giving me error message (please see output below) no matter what shape 1 or 2 I use. It works perfect with the cauchy or normal priors. Do you know if there is a catch there somewhere? Thanks logpriorfun <- function(beta,shape1,shape2){

Hi all, I compiled 64-bit R on an Apple Mac G5 running OS X, but it failed make check.

Hello, I am new to R and have two easy questions. How can you plot multiple density functions in one graph? I have five beta densities that I would like to plot in one graph. I understand how to plot one beta density as a line: plot (x,(dbeta(x,shape1=,shape2=,), type ="l") Does the Pareto distribution need to be added to R with an additional package? thanks, John [[alternative

Good-day Sir, I am R.Language users but am try to? estimate parameter of beta distribution particular dataset but give this error, which is not clear to me: (Initial value in "vmmin" is not finite) beta.fit <- fitdistr(data,densfun=dbeta,shape1=value , shape2=value) kindly assist. expecting your reply:

Hi , I'm having problem with the following plot. Basically I have to do 51(length of d, see below) plots. I want 6 plots (say) in a page and rests are in different pages. win.graph() starts a plot in new page. But I'm not being able to combine par(mfrow = c(3,2)) and win.graph() within a loop. > d [1] 14.108 13.883 11.022 13.426 2.341 9.010 12.868 15.603 30.810 3.931 11.825

Hi all How can I change the limits (xlim or ylim) in a plot that has been already created? For example, consider this naive example curve(dbeta(x,2,4)) curve(dbeta(x,8,13),add=T,col=2) When adding the second curve, it goes off the original limits computed by R for the first graph, which are roughly, c(0,2.1) I know two obvious solutions for this, which are: 1) passing a sufficiently large

I answer my own question: I had overlooked the fact that the normalization factor is also a function of the parameters I want to optimise, hence I should write dbeta2 <- function(x, shape){ res <- x^(shape-1)*(1-x)^(shape-1)/beta(shape, shape) return(res) } after which the results are consistent. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Lorenzo Isella <lorenzo.isella

Dear All, I need to fit a custom probability density (based on the symmetric beta distribution B(shape, shape), where the two parameters shape1 and shape2 are identical) to my data. The trouble is that I experience some problems also when dealing with the plain vanilla symmetric beta distribution. Please consider the code at the end of the email. In the code, dbeta1 is the density of the beta

Dear All, There is one problem I encountered when I used ADAPT to compute some 2-D integral w.r.t beta density. For example, when I try to run the following comments: fun2<-function(theta){return(dbeta(theta[1],0.005,0.005)*dbeta(theta[2],0.005,0.005))} int.fun2<-adapt(ndim=2,lo = c(0,0), up = c(1,1),functn = fun2,eps = 1e-4) It seems it will take very long time to run. Acturally, I

Suppose i want to compute a 95% highest density for a beta distribution beta(a,b) the two end points x1 and x2 shoudl satisfy the following two equations: pbeta(x1,a,b)-pbeta(x2,a,b)=95% dbeta(x1,a,b)=dbeta(x2,a,b) Is there any fast way to compute x1 and x2 in R?
