I have some big combinations like: 4444444444444444444444444444 choose 784645433 Can R compute these? Is there any package that does stirlings approximation in R? -- Thanks, Jim. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Am I trying to perform multiple linear regressions on each 'VARIABLE2'. I figured out that there are different ways, using the following code: (data is given at the end of this message) reg <- lapply(split(TRY, VARIABLE2), function(X){lm(X2 ~ X3, data=X)}) lapply(reg, summary) Which produces the following: $`1` Call: lm(formula = X2 ~ X3, data = X) Residuals: Min

Hello all, I was going to solve (n-m)! * (n-k)! = 0.5 *n! * (n-m-k)! for m when values of n and k are provided n1<-c(10,13,18,30,60,100,500)         # values of n kx<-seq(1,7,1);                               # values of k slv2<-lapply(n1,function(n){    slv1<-lapply(kx,function(k){              lhs<-function(m)              {                

Dear: I try to revise the maximum likelihood function below using something constrains. But it seems something wrong with it. Becasue R would not allow me to edit the function like this. It is very appreciate if you can help. function (parameters,y,x1,x2) { p<-parameters[1] alpha1<-parameters[2] beta1<-parameters[3)] delta1<-parameters[4] alpha2<-parameters[5]

Hello I have a time-comsuming program which need to simplify, I have tested the annotated program as follow: > #define function which will be call > calsta <- function(c, n=100000) + { + i <- seq(from=0, length=c) + logx <- lchoose(NT-n, CT-i) + lchoose(n, i) + logmax <- max(logx) + logmax + log(sum(exp(logx - logmax))) + } > CT=6000 #assignment to CT >

Hello I want to calculate natural logarithm of sum of combinations as follow: (R code) { com_sum=choose(2000000,482)*choose(1000000,118)+choose(2000000,483)*choose(1000000,117)+...+choose(2000000,i)*choose(1000000,600-i)+...+choose(2000000,600)*choose(1000000,0) #calculate the sum result=log(com_sum) #calculate the log of the sum } But

Aloha all, I know too little about what I'm about to write and hope I'm not wasting your time. For a class I'm teaching in archaeological data analysis, I'm trying to put together a routine that calculates the so-called Petersen index and, especially, confidence intervals for the index. This was introduced to archaeologists by N.R.J. Fieller and A. Turner in an article

Dear: Continuing the issue of 'ifelse'! I selecting the data whose 'x2'=1 for maximizing likelihood. I used two way to do this but the results are different. 1.Way one I use the data for x2=1 and run the program. It works for me. Tthe program is described as below: function (parameters,y1,x11) { p<-parameters[1] alpha1<-parameters[2] beta1<-parameters[3]

Hi all, Suppose I want to set the values in a column to the log of the values of another column like so: object$LogDist <- log10(object$Distance) How do I loop through the objects if I have object1, object2, etc to perform this function? object1$LogDist <- log10(object1$Distance) object2$LogDist <- log10(object2$Distance) object3$LogDist <- log10(object3$Distance) I was trying to

Dear colleagues. I wonder if anybody knows about a procedure in R to calculate the Brillouin Diversity index. I searched the net but did not find anything about it.

Hi, I'm trying to calculate p-value to findout definitely expressed genes compare A to B situation. I got this data(this is a part of data) from whole organism , and each number means each expression values (that means, we could think 'a' gene is 13 in A situation, and it turns 30 in B situation) To findout probability, I'm going to use Audic - Claverie Method. ( The significance

Hello T I want to order some calculation "result", there will be lots of "result" that need to calculate and order PS: the "result" is just a intermediate varible and ordering them is the very aim # problem: # For fixed NT and CT, and some pair (c,n). order the pair by corresponding result # c and n are both random variable CT<-6000 #assignment to CT

PLEASE HELP I actually want to do the following: a[j] = (1/(j!))*Π (i-1-d), j = 500, Π means product i = 1 to j   Yet, j! will stop at 170 and Π (i-1-d) at 172; so, a[j] will not exceed 170. I would like to have at least 200 a[j].   WHAT SHOULD I DO?   PLEASE SEE MY CODE FOR DETAIL!! #################################################### R CODE:

Dear All: I used optim() to minimise the loglikelihood function for fitting data to negative binomial distribution. But there initial value of log-likelihood and iteration 10 value are reasonable. for example: initial value 1451657.994524 iter 10 value 47297.534905 iter 20 value -623478636.8236478 Then the iter 20 vlaue suddelnly changes to a negative value and in the end the error mesage is

OK, I see what you mean. But in those cases, we don't get the catastrophic failures from the if (k < 0) return 0.; if (k == 0) return 1.; /* else: k >= 1 */ part, because at that point k is sure to be integer, possibly after rounding. It is when n-k is approximately but not exactly zero and we should return 1, that we either return 0 (negative case) or n

Hi Rers, I have a silly question. I don't know how to express the loglikelihood function of 1/(x!) where x=x1,x2,....xn in R. Could anyone give me a hint? Thank you in advance. Chunhao Tu

Hello, I am struggling for some time now to estimate AR(1) process for commodity price time series. I did it in STATA but cannot get a result in R. The equation I want to estimate is: p(t)=a+b*p(t-1)+error Using STATA I get 0.92 for a, and 0.73 for b. Code that I use in R is: p<-matrix(data$p) # price at time t lp<-cbind(1,data$lp) # price at time t-1
