I have two vectors (a and b) with counts of animals and wanted to calculate fisher's alpha: library(vegan) a <- c(2043, 1258, 52, 1867, 107, 1624, 2, 157, 210, 402, 5, 107, 267, 2, 13683) b <- c(2043, 1258, 52, 1867, 107, 1624, 2, 157, 210, 402, 5, 107, 267, 2, 3000) fisher.alpha(a) fisher.alpha(b) fisher.alpha(a) gave the following warnings: > fisher.alpha(a) [1] 1.572964

Hi, I want to calculate the t- and p-values for a linear model using the Newey West estimator. I tried this Code and it usually worked just fine: > oberlm <- lm(DYH ~ BIP + Infl + EOil, data=HU_H) > coeftest(oberlm, NeweyWest(oberlm, lag=2)) t test of coefficients: Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|) (Intercept) 0.1509950 0.0743832 2.0300 0.179486 BIP

I want to qqnorm every column in a table. When I try the first column using qqnorm(table$column1), it worked. But when I use qqnorm(table[1]), it tells me "Error in stripchart(x1, ...) : invalid plotting method". What happen? How can I make a function that qqnorms every column? thanks a lot. -jiong The email message (and any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended

Hi all, I have just started using R to produce qqnorm plots. I am trying to switch the x and y axes so that the theoretical values are plotted on the y axis and my data on the x axis. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Flipping-axes-of-qqnorm-tp23248007p23248007.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I know this topic has had plenty of discussion in the last couple of days, but.... I've been trying to compare the effects of different fitted methods for systems of equations (OLS, SUR, 2SLS, 3SLS ) and would like to compare the residual plots (easy) and the qqnorm/qqplot of the fits for the different fitted methdos. For example, qqnorm( residuals( lm( q ~ p + f + a ) ) ) par( new = TRUE )

# I can not draw a 45 degree line on a qqnorm() plot, jj <- sample(c(1:100), 10) qqnorm(jj) abline() don't work. Thank you.

Referring to "Using R for Data Analysis and Graphics" by J H Maindonald, and available from the R site, I found the example on p.30 non-working: > stem(qqnorm(possum$hdlngth)) Error in stem(qqnorm(possum$hdlngth)) : 'x' must be numeric Since qqnorm(possum$hdlngth) plots, and > class(possum$hdlngth) [1] "numeric" , the problem must be here: >

Hello, I am trying to do some plotting to check random effect assumptions for a model I fit using lme. I want to use qqnorm and pairs (similarly to examples given in Pinheiro & Bates p. 188), but it's not working. Here's some relevant code and the error message: library(nlme) data(Machines) m1 <- lme(fixed=score~Machine,random=~1|Worker/Machine, data=Machines) qqnorm(m1,

Hello R friends, I'm wondering why I get funny qqnorm() results. It seems that they should all be reflected in the normal qqline(). For instance: if I qqnorm() bimodal or uniform data I get a sigmoidal in which the qqnorm() points lie above the qqline() at -ve theoretical quantiles, and the qqnorm() points lie below the qqline() at +ve theoretical quantiles. Yet I expect such platykurtic

Dear List, invoking qqnorm-plots in Version 63.3 produces funny things: using the option `type="s"´ on qqnorm should give a nice *line* of observed quantiles. Now, the line is walking along in order to the points index instead from lowest to highest, wich makes funny slopes. try x <- table(rnorm(1000) # or similar and qqnorm(x,type="s") # in 0.63.2 and 63.3 Well, the

Hello, I have a doubt about the plotting position of the theoretical quantile for the qqnorm command in R. Let F be the theoretical distribution of Y, we observed a sample of size n, y1,y2, ..., yn. We then sort it and comspare these empirical quantiles to the expected ones from F. For the plotting poition, there are several options: 1. i/(n+1) 2. (i-.375)/(n+.25) 3. (i- .3175)/ (n + .365) etc.

Hi all, I am an R newbie, and I have a question about scripting. I have the following lines which I want to put int\ o a script which I can call from the shell of a Mac/Linux machine : myrns <- read.csv(file="/Users/vihan/test.csv",sep="",header=FALSE) qqnorm(myrns) qqline(myrns) This works fine on an interactive R session. However, as I understand the basic framework of

Hi, I tried to calculate the MLE estimation of a parameter of a gamma distribution of a data set, which is called "amount".. I did it with the command: fitdistr(amount,"gamma") and got the error message: Error in optim(x = c(363.36, 551.15, 603.91, 170.99, 225.21, 218.01, 1816.82, : non-finite finite-difference value [2] Warning message: NaNs wurden erzeugt

Dear all, I have two variables called c2 and c3 and want to plot these variables in the same qqnorm-plot with two different symbols or colors to distinguish them so I can easily compare the variables aginst each other. How can I do in R? I only manage to do two separated qqnorn-plots. Thanks for your help, All the best, Jenny c2= -0.1545775144 -0.0601161235

Hi, When qqnorm on a vector of length 10M+ I get a huge pdf file which cannot be loaded by acroread or evince. Any suggestions? (apart from sampling the data).

Hi all, Does anyone know how to plot overlapping qqnorm plots on the same window? Suppose I have data in the vector x and y: qqnorm(x) lines(qqnorm(y)) I though these two lines will do the job... However, lines doesn't seem to work. Anyways, thanks in advance! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Plotting-two-qqnorm-plots%3A-tp25352893p25352893.html Sent from the R help

Hello everybody, I'm running a panel regression with dummy variables controlling for years. While this works fine for most of my models, in some cases I get the error message "In sqrt(diag(object$vcov)) : NaNs wurden erzeugt" and missing results for some or all of my year dummies: Estimate Std.

dear all, it will just take you a minute to tell me the difference between qnorm and qqnorm. are they same or is there any difference between them?? regards

Do you know of a reference that discusses alternative choices for plotting positions for a normal probability plot? The documentation for qqnorm says it calls ppoints, which returns qnorm((1:m-a)/(m+1-2*a)) with "a" = ifelse(n<=10, 3/8, 1/2)? The help pages for qqnorm and ppoints just refer to Becker, Chambers and Wilks (1988) The New S Language (Wadsworth & Brooks/Cole),

Hi, r-gurus: I happened to have a question in my work: I have a dataset, which has only one dimention, like 0.99037297527605 0.991179836732708 0.995635340631367 0.997186769599305 0.991632565640424 0.984047197106486 0.99225943762649 1.00555642128421 0.993725402926564 .... the data is saved in a file called f392.txt. I used the following codes to play around :)
