similar to: Mininum number of resamples required to do BCa bootstrap?

I'm using R 2.15.1 on a 64-bit machine with Windows 7 Home Premium. Sample problem (screwy subscripted syntax is a relic of edited down a more complex script): > N <- 25 > s <- rlnorm(N, 0, 1) > require("boot") Loading required package: boot > v <- NULL # hold sample variance estimates > i <- 1 > v[i] <- var(s) # get sample variance >

I am trying to compute bootstrap confidence intervals for a sample using R 2.5.1 for Windows. I can get "Normal", "Basic", "Percentile", "BCa" and "ABC" from boot.ci() and boot() in the Davison & Hinkley "boot" package. But I can't figure out how to use tilt.boot() to get the "tilting" confidence interval.

Based on simulations, I've come up with a simple function to compute the confidence interval for the variance of the binomial variance, where the true variance is v = rho*(1-rho)/n where rho = true probability of success and n = # of trials. For x = # successes observed in n trials, p = x / n as usual. For p < 0.25 or p > 0.75, I use the proportion-based transformed confidence

I like to bootstrap regression models, saving the entire set of bootstrapped regression coefficients for later use so that I can get confidence limits for a whole set of contrasts derived from the coefficients. I'm finding that ordinary bootstrap percentile confidence limits can provide poor coverage for odds ratios for binary logistic models with small N. So I'm exploring BCa confidence

Are there any packages in R that reproduce the package "resample" of S-Plus? The sample() function in R doesn't provide equivalent flexibility of bootstrap() and bootstrap2(). ================================================================ Robert A. LaBudde, PhD, PAS, Dpl.

Hi everyone, I use the boot package within the MBESS package to automate much of the hard part for folks interested in performing a (simple) mediation model. The function mediation() works well, except for a (probably) unrealistic artificial data set. When I apply the bootstrap I sometimes get: Error in t.star[r, ] <- res[[r]] which is (I think) due to Inf and -Inf and NaN values produced for

I''m using Ferret on a Swedish website and I get some unexpected behaviour on searches containing the swedish charchters ???. An exampel, if I index a string "Varf?r fungerar det inte" ("Why doesnt it work" in swedish) and search for "f?r" I''ll get one (1) match. The expected behaviour would be no matches since ''f?r'' is part of

I need to construct confidence intervals for the binomial variance. This is the usual estimate v = x*(n-x)/n or its unbiased counterpart v' = x*(n-x)/(n-1) where x = binomial number of successes observed in n Bernoulli trials from proportion p. The usual X^2 method for variance confidence intervals will not work, because of the strong non-normal character of the sampling

I'm using R 2.10.1 with the latest version of all packages (updated today). I'm confused as to why I'm getting a hard singularity in a simple set of experimental data: > blots ID Lot Age Conc 1 1 A 3 4.44 2 2 A 3 4.56 3 3 B 41 4.03 4 4 B 41 4.57 5 5 C 229 4.49 6 6 C 229 4.66 7 7 D 238 3.88 8 8 D 238 3.93 9 9 E 349 4.43 10 10 E 349

Given a set of data with a number of variables plus a response, I'd like to obtain a randomized subset of the rows such that the marginal proportions of each variable are maintained closely in the subset to that of the dataset, and possibly maintaining as well the two-factor interaction marginal proportions as well for some pairs. This must be a common problem in data mining, but I

I don't seem to be able to put any syntax into identify() that gets it to work with "lattice" cloud() graph: layout(1) require('lattice') cloud(g3 ~ g1 + g2, data=gapp, col = "blue", xlab='G1 Score', ylab='G2 Score', zlab='G3 Score', main='3D Plot for Applicants') identify(gapp[,2:4], labels=gapp$ID) Here g1 is gapp[,2], g2

How does one ideally handle and display multidimenstional contingency tables in R v. 2.6.2? E.g.: > prob1<- data.frame(victim=c(rep('white',4),rep('black',4)), + perp=c(rep('white',2),rep('black',2),rep('white',2),rep('black',2)), + death=rep(c('yes','no'),4), count=c(19,132,11,52,0,9,6,97)) > prob1 victim perp

Let's say I have a program that returns variables whose names may be any string within the vector NAMES=c("varA","varB","varC","varD","varE","varF"..."varZ"), but I do not ever know which ones have actually been created. So in one example output, "varA", "varC", and "varD" could exist, but

I am designing an interlaboratory validation study for a presence/absence alternative method test kit vs. a presence/absence reference method test kit. There will be 10 laboratories conducting tests using both methods. In each laboratory, there will be 5 specimens tested, each of the 5 specimens twice by both methods (alternative, standard). The total number of data are 10 x 5 x 4 = 200.

I need to be able to run a generalized linear model with a log() link and a Weibull family, or something similar to deal with an extreme value distribution. I actually have a large dataset where this is apparently necessary. It has to do with recovery of forensic samples from surfaces, where as much powder as possible is collected. This apparently causes the results to conform to some type
