Thank you for Prof.Ripley's suggestion. I fixed the program by adding a lower scope, and the program ran, but I still got warning messages, and don't know what is going on, would this affect my results? ...

Hello all, I am trying to use stepwise procedure to select covariates in Cox model and use bootstrap to repeat stepwise selection, then record how many times variables are chosen by step() in bootstrap replications. When I use step() (or stepAIC) to do model selection, I got errors. Here is the part of my code for (j in 1:mm){ #<--mm=10 for (b in 1:nrow(reg.bs)){ #<--bootstrap 10

Hi all, When using package MIX, I often get the error: NA/NaN/Inf in foreign function call (arg 1). For example, > s<-prelim.mix(Y,6) Error in prelim.mix(Y, 6) : NA/NaN/Inf in foreign function call (arg 1) or when I ran: MI<-vector("list",5) #<--vector of complete data after MI fit.model.mi<-vector("list",5) rngseed(1234567) #<-- set random number

Dear Professor Schaefer I am experiencing a technical difficulty with your mix package. I would appreciate it if you could help me with this problem. When I run the following code, R 2.5.1 and R 2.6.0 crashes. It's been tested on at least 2 windows machine and it is consistent. Execution code it's self was coped from the help file of imp.mix. Only thing I supplied was a fake dataset.

I am desperately trying to impute missing data using 'imp.mix' but always run into this yucky error message to which I cannot find the solution. It's the first time I am using mix and I'm trying really hard to understand, but there's just this one step I don't get...perhaps someone knows the answer? Thanks! Jens My code runs:

Dear list, I'd like to use multiple imputations to try and save a somewhat badly mangled dataset (lousy data collection, worse than lousy monitoring, you know that drill... especially when I am consulted for the first time about one year *after* data collection). My dataset has 231 observations of 53 variables, of which only a very few has no missing data. Most variables have 5-10% of

Dear R-users I need to calibrate kappa, rho, eta, theta, v0 in the following code, see below. However when I run it, I get: y <- function(kappahat, rhohat, etahat, thetahat, v0hat) {sum(difference(k, t, S0, X, r, implvol, q, kappahat, rhohat, etahat, thetahat, v0hat)^2)} > nlminb(start=list(kappa, rho, eta, theta, v0), objective = y, lower =lb, > upper =ub) Error in dots[[1L]][[1L]] :

Hi all, A short while ago I asked a question about multiple imputation and I got several helpful replies, thanks! I have untill now tried to use the packages mice and norm but both give me errors however. mice does not even run to start with and gives me the following error right away: iter imp variable 1 1 Liquidity.ratioError in chol((v + t(v))/2) : the leading minor of order 1 is not

Dear R-help, I am trying to impute missing data for the first time using R. The norm package seems to work for me, but the missing values that it returns seem odd at times -- for example it returns negative values for a variable that should only be positive. Does this matter in data analysis, and/or is there a way to limit the imputed values to be within the minimum and maximum of the actual

I am conducting a simulation study generating multivariate normal data, deleting observations to create a data set with missing values and then using multiple imputation via da.norm in Schafer's norm package. >From da.norm, I get the following error message: "Error: NA/NaN/Inf in foreign function call (arg 2)" The frequency of the error message seems to depend on the ratio of n

I'm trying to run an ordered logistic regression model. I've run the following code, but the output does not provide the p-values. Is there some command to include the p-values in the output. reg2 <- polr(trade1 ~ age2 + education2 + personal2 + economy2 + partisan2 + employment2 + union2 + home2 + market2 + race2 + income2) summary(reg2) Re-fitting to get Hessian# Call:

I have a factor vector of subject races (Asian, Black, Hispanic, White; n=30) that I want to plot with a Cleveland dotplot or dotchart. I tried the following in R2.12.1 : > dotchart(table(school$Race)) Error in plot.xy(xy.coords(x, y), type = type, ...) : invalid plot type Using the same data set in R2.11.1 the operation succeeded (I tried several variations to be sure): >

Hello all I'm running da.norm function in R for climate data rngseed(1234567) theta1=da.norm(mydata, thetahat, steps=1000,showits=T) param1=getparam.norm(mydata,theta1) As I understand the 1000 steps represent the markov chain values. Is there a way to plot them? Something like plot(1:1000, param1$mu[]). I just can't find a way to extract them out of my theta1. Thank you, Andrey.

Greetings! I am bootstrapping and I am using EM in the norm package to fill in missing data for a financial time series with each step of the loop. For the most part EM works fine for me, but the following error message is guaranteed before I hit the 200th scenario: Iterations of EM: 1...2...3........348...349...Error: NA/NaN/Inf in foreign function call (arg 2) The following code should

Is there a way to add covariates to the system equation in a time-varying approach: Y[t] = F'[t]theta[t] + v[t], v[t] ~ N[0,V] #observation equation theta[t] = theta[t-1] + psi*Z[t] + w[t], w[t] ~ N[0,W] #system equation While F[t] is a matrix of regressors to capture the short term effect on the response series Y, Z[t] measures the long-term effect of either (1) two policies by a step

Hello all, I am trying to optimize my logistic regression model by using bootstrap. I was previously using SAS for this kind of tasks, but I am now switching to R. My data frame consists of 5 columns and has 109 rows. Each row is a single record composed of the following values: Subject_name, numeric1, numeric2, numeric3 and outcome (yes or no). All three numerics are used to predict

dear R wizards: X is factor with 20,000*20=800,000 observations of 20,000 factors. I.e., each factor has 20 observations. y is 800,000 normally distributed data points. I want to see how much R^2 the X factors can provide. Easy, right? > lm ( y ~ X) and > aov( y ~ X) Error: cannot allocate vector of size 3125000 Kb is this computationally infeasible?

Hello all, When I used commands "ecm.mix and dabipf.mix" to do a simulation (sample size is small 100), I got an error : Steps of ECM, missing value where True/False needed. I've checked the menu, and the option "prior" of ecm.mix said that if structural zeros appear in the table, hyperparameters for those cells should be set to NA. However, it didn't say how to do
