A bit late, but you might like to look at http://www.qimr.edu.au/davidD/polyr.R Regarding the original posters queries: You can analyse polychoric correlations as if they were Pearson correlations using standard software (eg sem), and this usually doesn't do too badly, or go to AWLS (Browne) in LISREL etc, or ML analysis of the full multidimensional contingency table using programs such as

I don't know of any R package that can match all the functionality of LEM eg fitting equality constraints to model parameters a la LISREL. WRT dumping tables, I would have thought that as.data.frame.table does pretty much what you want, [not tested] newtab <- as.data.frame(table(a,b,c)) cat("dim\n") for(i in seq(1, ncol(newtab)-1) { cat(nlevels(newtab[,1]," ") }

Hi. I just noticed the paper by Morales and Nocedal Remark on "Algorithm 778: L-BFGS-B: Fortran Subroutines for Large-Scale Bound Constrained Optimization". TOMS 2011; 38(1): 7 http://www.ece.northwestern.edu/~morales/PSfiles/acm-remark.pdf which describes a couple of improvements (speed and accuracy) to the original Netlib code which AFAICT is that still used by optim() via f2c.

Newsgroup members, I appreciate the help on this topic. David Duffy provided a solution (below) that was quite helpful, and came close to what I needed. It did a great job creating two vectors of dichotomous variables with a known correlation (what I referred to as a phi-coefficient). My situation is a bit more complicated and I'm not sure it is easily solved. The problem is that I must

Hi there, If I do an lm, I get p-vlues as p-value: < 2.2e-16 Suppose am interested in exact value such as p-value = 1.6e-16 (note = and not <) How do I go about it? stephen

If I run an analysis which generates statistical tests on many SNPs I would naturally want to get more details on the most significant SNPs. Directly from within R one can get the information by loading RSNPer (from Bioconductor) and simply issuing a command SNPinfo(2073285). Unfortunately, the command cannot handle a vector and therefore only wants to do one at a time. I tried the lapply and

Hi, I am looking to do some quantitative genetic analyses using animal models and was wondering if someone could suggest an appropriate package in R. It would help if it was similar to the ASReml genetic analyses software.

Hi I was wondering whether anyone can provide any help or suggestions on the boostrap method for latent class analysis please. My main question is: can the bootstrap procedure sometimes be less precise than the non-bootstrap procedure when carrying out latent class analysis? I am asking this question because I carried out some analyses and when I *did not* use the bootstrap procedure I found

Dear all, I'm using the package "Genetics", and I'm interested in the computation of D' statistics for Linkage Disequilibrium, for which the LD() command has been realised. Unfortunately I don't find any reference on "how" the D' is computed by the LD() function. In the package documentation it is generally referred as "MLE" estimation, but
