similar to: Curious finding in MASS:::confint.glm() tied to eval()

I have the following binary data set: Sex Response 0 1 0 159 162 1 4 37 My commands library(MASS) sib.glm=glm(sib~sex,family=binomial,data=sib.data) summary(sib.glm) The coefficients in the output are Estimate Std. Error z value Pr(>|z|) (Intercept) -3.6826 0.5062 -7.274 3.48e-13

the function confint uses the profiling method of the function of the package MASS confint.glm even after the package has been detached! 1: might this be the intenden behavior? 2. How does the function remember its 'MASS' functionality after detaching the package? R: 1.8.0; Windows 2000 Here is a sample program > set.seed(7882) > x<-rep(c(0,1),c(20,20)) >

It seems that confint.default returns an empty data.frame for objects of class mlm. For example: ``` nobs <- 20 set.seed(1234) # some fake data datf <- data.frame(x1=rnorm(nobs),x2=runif(nobs),y1=rnorm(nobs),y2=rnorm(nobs)) fitm <- lm(cbind(y1,y2) ~ x1 + x2,data=datf) confint(fitm) # returns: 2.5 % 97.5 % ``` I have seen proposed workarounds on stackoverflow and elsewhere, but

I can't get confint.glm to work from within a function. Consider the following (using R 1.9.1, Windows 2000): # FIRST: SOMETHING THAT WORKS FROM A COMMAND PROMPT DF <- data.frame(y=.1, N=100) (fit <- glm(y~1, family=binomial, data=DF, weights=DF[,"N"])) Call: glm(formula = y ~ 1, family = binomial, data = DF, weights = DF[, "N"]) Coefficients:

Dear R-helpers, I am using confint() within a function, and I want to turn off the message it prints: x <- rnorm(100) y <- x^1.1+rnorm(100) nlsfit <- nls(y ~ g0*x^g1, start=list(g0=1,g1=1)) > confint(nlsfit) Waiting for profiling to be done... 2.5% 97.5% g0 0.4484198 1.143761 g1 1.0380479 2.370057 I cannot find any way to turn off 'Waiting for. .."

Full_Name: Christian Lajaunie Version: 2.5.1 OS: Fedora fc6 Submission from: (NULL) (193.251.63.39) confint() does not use the appropriate variance term when the design matrix contains a zero column (which of course should not happen). Example: A 10x2 matrix with trivial column 1: > junk <- data.frame(x=rep(0,10), u=factor(sample(c("Y", "N"), 10, replace=T))) The

Hi, I am currently doing logistic regression analyses and I am trying to get confidence intervals for my partial logistic regression coefficients. Supposing I am right in assuming that the formula to estimate a 95% CI for a log odds coefficient is the following: log odds - 1.96*SE to log odds + 1.96*SE then I am not getting the right CI. For instance, this is a summary of my model:

Dear R developers, I noticed a bug in the stats4 package, specifically in the confint method applied to ?mle? objects. In particular, when some ?fixed? parameters define the log likelihood, these parameters are stored within the mle object but they are not used by the ?confint" method, which retrieves their value from the global environment (whenever they still exist). Sample code: >

Dear colleagues, I have used statistical software "R" in academic research, and I find very interesting. So now I have started my studies at advanced level. I have conducted several statistical models of the type "*nls*". In respect of procedures for models of the type nls, I'd like you answer only one question that I have had doubts, related to the formula

Hi all! I'm getting a model fit from glm() (a binary logistic regression fit, but I don't think that's important) for a formula that contains powers of the explanatory variable up to fourth. So the fit looks something like this (typing into mail; the actual fit code is complicated because it involves step-down and so forth): x_sq <- x * x x_cb <- x * x * x x_qt <- x * x * x

Dear list, I just hit an error that stopped my make && make check-devel operation on my linux box (FC3, i686 P4 2GB RAM). Just to note that I've been building the development branch(?) for some time and this is the first hint of a problem. 1) updated the src tree using svn update 2) ran ../configure --with-recommended-package=no from my build directory 3) got: R is now configured

I need confint() for glm() to supress the messages "Waiting for profiling to be done..." because they mess up the caching mechanism of pgfSweave (see https://github.com/cameronbracken/pgfSweave/issues/40). I have read the help page of confint(), but I do not know how to get the help page for the glm() version, if any such help page exists. Is there a general way of turning of output

Which confint() method do you have in mind? There is at least four of them by default in R, and many additional classes could make use of stats:::confint.default by implementing vcov(). >

Full_Name: Soren Feodor Nielsen Version: 2.5.0 OS: linux-gnu Submission from: (NULL) (130.225.103.21) The print-out of xtable in the following example is wrong; instead of yielding the correct ci's for the second model it repeats the ci's from the first model. require(xtable) require(MASS) data(cats) b1<-lm(Hwt~Sex,cats) b2<-lm(Hwt~Sex+Bwt,cats)

Dear all, I have run the confint() function according to below and I get the following error message: > confint(stepAIC.glm.spe.var.konn2.abund, level=0.95) Waiting for profiling to be done...

Hello, Would a less resource-intensive value, such as 1, be a safer default CPU value for confint? I noticed excessive CPU usage on a I.T. administrator-managed server which was being three-quarters used by another staff member when the confidence interval calculation in an R Markdown document suddenly changed from two seconds to ninety seconds because of competition for CPUs between users. Also,

I am unable to calculate confidence intervals for the slope estimate in a quasibinomial glm using confint(). Below is the output and the package info for MASS. Thanks in advance!

I have found some "issues" (bugs?) with nls confidence intervals ... some with the relatively new "port" algorithm, others more general (but possibly in the "well, don't do that" category). I have corresponded some with Prof. Ripley about them, but I thought I would just report how far I've gotten in case anyone else has thoughts. (I'm finding the code
