similar to: Automatic Differentiation for R

Hi I recently gave a presentation about Automatic Differentiation (AD) and R at the Eighth Euro AD Workshop in Oxford (17/07/09). The presentation was intended as a general introduction to R and the desire for a generic AD interface for R. During the presentation I emphasised the need and the high level of interest that the R community has in developing such an interface and that input from the

Hey, what is the R function for the mathematical limit ? e.g. to calculate and return the amount that the expression X^2 +X +2 approach as X approach 2 (X-> 2) thanks hassan [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, can anyone tell me if R can be used to rearrange very complicated equations in terms of one of the variables? I have: dx/dt = a*b*m*y*(1-x)-r*x and, having set: dy/dx = 0, need to rearrange in terms of x. The problem I have is that I don't know how to rearrange equations when the variables are not yet defined (I get messages warning me that x etc can't be found). I'm not sure

Hi, as I find problems with yacas package... is there any R function equivalent to the yacas function "Factor" ? the factor function which i found in the R help is not the same. it doesn't factor an algebraic expression...... thanks hassan [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello yet again, R People: I was working with Ryacas and yacas last night and all was well. Now this morning, I keep getting the following: > a <- Sym("a") > a Error in summary.connection(x) : invalid connection > When I go to yacas from the command line, it works fine. Any suggestions, please? I'm thinking that a port might be open, but here I have: >

Hi, Could anyone tell me what is the command used in R to do 1. Differentiation 2. Newton Raphson method (Numerical Analysis in general...) Are there any packages separately for this? Thanks for your help! BR, Shubha [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi everybody, I'm trying to create a script that picks a txt file with 2 columns of coordinates (depth and variable1) and automatically tries to fit several polynomial with the function nls(). After that, it creates a list of observed, predict, residuals and other, and then it calculates AIC, RMSD, MAD and R^2. At the end of the script I create a series of vectors with MAD for all

Hi all, I wrote a symbollic differentiation function in R, which can be downloaded here: http://www.econ.upenn.edu/~clausen/computing/Deriv.R http://www.econ.upenn.edu/~clausen/computing/Simplify.R It is just a prototype. Of course, R already contains two differentiation functions: D and deriv. However, these functions have several limitations. They can probably be fixed, but

Hi, I have a problem with R CMD BATCH, because I created a .bat file to run a script: C:\R\R-2.9.2\bin\R CMD BATCH C:\Scrip_test.R It work perfectly but after 3 lines of script there is a line with a nls() function that cannot be fitted and this end in an error message. I'm not bother by the error message, I just want that the script continue. If I use the R windows GUI the script show the

Martin (see below) gives a good explanation of the difference between AD and symbolic differentiations. I'm of the opinion we can use both. However, the real issue as far as I'm concerned (from an optimizer's point of view, which may also be that of ODE and PDE folk) is that right now none of the offerings that we have are easy to use. Indeed, usability is one of the key issues in my

Hi R People: Is there a package for automatic differentiation, please? thanks in advance, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences University of Houston - Downtown mailto: erinm.hodgess at gmail.com

Hi, I am now running Samba services to a network of 200 or so PC's accessing a central UNIX filserver and overall it is a success. There are just a few niggles however. I'll email my smb.conf later if this is required but I guess this may be a common newbie problem. Users all have a home directory mapped to their Z drive. This is okay, but if they try to rename a file (right click

I appologise as this is probably an FAQ but I have read the FAQ's and have been unsuccessfull in finding a solution. I have a Solaris 2.5 server running the latest version of samba (can't remember the version no. but was only downloaded on Friday). I have set up a homes share and would like to connect my NT workstations to it. I have been able to connect by specifying the username and

Hi, I have a problem fitting the following Weibull Model to a set of data. The model is this one: a-b*exp(-c*x^d) If I fitted the model with CurveExpert I can find a very nice set of coefficients which create a curve very close to my data, but when I use the nls.lm function in R I can't obtain the same result. My data are these: X Y 15 13 50 13 75 9 90 4 With the commercial

Hi there, I have created the function below: pirate<-function(x){ a<-x-1; b<-a/5; c<-a-b; d<-c-1; e<-d/5; f<-d-e; g<-f-1; h<-g/5; i<-g-h; j<-i-1; k<-j/5; l<-j-k; m<-l-1; n<-m/5; o<-m-n; final<-o/5; final } I want to run this function until the output ('final') is an exact integer (e.g. 893.00000 rather than 893.78332). I then need to

Dear Alberto, There are fisheries people also in Europe using AD Model Builder (Denmark and England for instance), but you are probably right that it is more widespread in North America. There is also effort going on where people try to make assessment models written in ADMB callable from R. best regards, hans > think AD Model Builder is mainly used for fisheries assessment in North

Hi all, I'm having major difficulty using the rSymPy package this week, but I have used it without problems before now. Here is an example of what's happening: > library(rSymPy) Loading required package: rJava > sympy("var('a b c d')") Error in .jcheck() : No running detected. Maybe .jinit() would help. And I have no idea how to fix it. I Have tried re-installing
