Hello, I am having trouble using "optim". I want to maximalise a function to its parameters [kind of like: univariate maximum likelihood estimation, but i wrote the likelihood function myself because of data issues ] When I try to optimize a function for only one parameter there is no problem: llik.expo<-function(x,lam){(length(x)*log(lam))-(length(x)*log(1-exp(-1*lam*

Does anyone know where I can download the latest version of Sweave.sty? I have looked all over the site http://www.stat.umn.edu/~charlie/Sweave/ with no luck.

Is there a way to rename the columns to something like A and B in the cbind function? x <- rnorm(n = 10, mean = 0, sd = 1) y <- rnorm(n = 10, mean = 0, sd = 1) cbind(x,y)

Hey folks, I've been through the rsync documentation, and to the best of my ability, I dont see how to do exactly what I wish to do. I'd go through the mailing list archives, but there doesnt seem to be a search function. Essentially, I need to rsync securely between some sites, but I want logs written. The problem is, it appears that using rsyncd is the only way to get logs, but if

Sorry about that ./configure --with-included-popt But then 200+ plus lines of warnings :( I'll read some more -pete

set.seed(1) x <- rnorm(n = 1000, mean = 0, sd = 1) plot(x = x, asp = 2000) Could someone please explain what the 'asp' parameter is doing?

Hi all, Is there a way to implement folder quotas instead of just partition quotas? I'm trying to limit home dirs from getting out of control. And I did RTFM but it seems only partition/share quotas are possible :) - aurf -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Just out of curiosity, what is the difference between the terms for package and library ? Why are we loading a package with the library() command ? If this is a case of RTFM, I would be happy to do so if pointed in the right direction. I have searched the FAQ and mail archives and only came up with http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/02/12162.html but this still does not explain what is

Simple one, have read and googled, still no luck! I want to create several empty vectors all of the same length. I would like multiple empty vectors (vec1, vec2, vec3) and want to create them all in one line. I've tried vec1,vec2,vec3 <- vector(length=5) and c(vec1,vec2,vec3) <- vector(length=5) and several other attempts but nothing seems to work ... suggestions? Thanks Jim

I'm trying to fit a Weibull distribution to some data via maximum likelihood estimation. I'm following the procedure described by Doug Bates in his "Using Open Source Software to Teach Mathematical Statistics" but I keep getting warnings about NaNs being converted to maximum positive value: > llfunc <- function (x) { -sum(dweibull(AM,shape=x[1],scale=x[2], log=TRUE))} >

hi, I have an 20G archive of pic files which would have to be mirrored onto another server. It contains large JPEGs, around 10k files, one of the servers is located in Boston, the another is in Budapest, Hungary. I use rsync rsync://remote_box/remotedir localdir/ -zcvr --progress --size-only The issue is that the remote server sends the filelist very slow. Looking into the rsyncd process with

Hi ... probably one of those RTFM kind of questions (while I'd be happy to know where a good reference "FM" is :-) ) Has anyone an idea on how to disable the console sound driver. My problem is that a running asterisk is muting my speakers. Thank you in advance for your help Conrad

Newbie question here. I am doing some work with Bering uClibC and have been wondering about the meaning of the various parameters in the syslinux.cfg file. I have already read the FAQ (http://syslinux.zytor.com/faq.php) which leaves me wondering where to find more information on the 'default' and 'append' parameters. For example, what are all of the kernel and other arguments that

Hi all, I'm looking for documentation about the internals of the bridging software. We're putting together a new chip that incorporates, among other things, a core for a managed switch and a processor that will be running Linux. I wanted to have the Linux code (among other things) field SNMP requests and configure the managed switch. I'm hoping that it's as simple as

Hello Dovecot admins. I've started writing manual pages for Dovecot v2.0. I'm sure they are not perfect yet. I'd like to ask you all to read the manual pages. It would be nice to get some ideas/suggestions/improvements. So that that the Dovecot v2.0.0 release could be distributed with /fine manuals/. The manual pages are available at: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/ManPages This is also

Hi, I've been having problems having my samba server configured to be the master browser of my network. I've used in smb.conf the flags: preferred master = True local master = Yes domain master = True and even: os level = 255 And still, as soon as I turn on my windows XP pro, it looses it's title as the master browser! I don't know what else I can try! Did I

Hello, I'm thinking of implementing centralized authentication using Kerberos on 48 servers, all Linux. I have no Active Directory. Can you please point me out to where I should RTFM :-) maybe some of you have tips or tutorials for me. Cheers!

Hi, all. I want to have a button on my receptionist's 601 that, when pressed, will forward her current call to a given extension. Is there any way to do that? I've tried to RTFM, but I'm coming up empty. Thanks, -Ken D'Ambrosio
