Hi all, Can some one tell me the difference between the following two formulas? 1. epiG.rf <-randomForest(gamma~.,data=data, na.action = na.fail,ntree = 300,xtest = NULL, ytest = NULL,replace = T, proximity =F) 2.epiG.rf <-randomForest(gamma~.,data=data, na.action = na.fail,ntree = 300,xtest = NULL, ytest = NULL,replace = T, proximity =F) [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

The PDF file on the web, which is an appendix on nonlinear regression associated with the CAR book, is very nice. When I ran through the code presented there, I found something odd. The code does a certain model in 3 ways: Vanilla NLS (using numerical differentation), Analytical derivatives (where the user supplies the derivatives) and analytical derivatives (using automatic differentiation). The

Hi, I conduct a panel data estimation and obtain estimators for two of the coefficients beta1 and beta2. R tells me the mean and covariance of the distribution of (beta1, beta2). Now I would like to find the distribution of the quotient beta1/beta2, and one way to do it is to simulate via the joint distribution (beta1, beta2), where both beta1 and beta2 follow t distribution. How could we

Hi, I hope somebody can help me on how to use the hypergeometric function. I did read through the R documentation on hypergeometric but not really sure what it means. I would like to evaluate the hypergeometric function as follows: F((2*alpha+1)/2, (2*alpha+2)/2 , alpha+1/2, betasq/etasq). I'm not sure which function should be used- either phyper or qhyper or dhyper Where

Dear R-users, May I seek some suggestions from you. I have a long programme written in R with several 'for' loops inside. I just want to get them out by any elegant way (if there is!) to reduce the computational time of the main programme. For instance, is there any smart way for the following programme that will lessen time?

Dear All, May I seek your suggestion on a simple issue. I want to draw vertical lines at some positions in the following R plot. To be more specific, I wish to draw vertical lines at d=c(5.0,5.5,6) and they should go till p=c(0.12,0.60,0.20) . I haven't found any way out, though made several attempts. Please run the following commands first if you are interested in!

Hi, I am trying to use the nls() function to closely approximate a vector of values, colC and I'm running into trouble. I am not sure how if I am asking the program to do what I think its doing, because the same minimization in Excel's Solver does not run into problems. If anyone can tell me what is going wrong, and why I'm getting a singular convergence(7) error, please tell me. I

Hi List, I was not able to make this work. I know it is a simple one, sorry to bother. Give me some hints pls. Thanks! Jen if(length(real.d)>=30 && length(real.b)>=30 && beta1*beta2*theta1*theta2>0 ) { r <- 1; corr <- 1; } real.d and real.b are two vectors, beta1,beta2,theta1,and theta2 are constants. The error occurred like this: Error in if

Hello, I would like to use the parfm package: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/parfm/parfm.pdfhttps://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/parfm/parfm.pdf in my work. This package fits parametric frailty models to survival data. To ensure I was using it properly, I started by running some small simulations to generate some survival data (without any random effects), and analyse the data using

Hi All, I'm trying to run nls on the data from the study by Marske (Biochemical Oxygen Demand Interpretation Using Sum of Squares Surface.

The cautions people have given about starting values are worth heeding. That nlxb() does well in many cases is useful, but not foolproof. And John Fox has shown that the problem can be tackled very simply too.

What's up fellows... I am a begginer in R and i am trying to find the parameters of one likelihood function, but when i otimize it, always appers a error or advertisement and the solve does not occur.

Hi there, Suppose mu is constant, and error is normally distributed with mean 0 and fixed variance s. I need to find a statistics that: Y_i = mu + beta1* I1_i beta2*I2_i + beta3*I1_i*I2_i + +error, where I_i is 1 Y_i is from group A, and 0 if Y_i is from group B. It is large when beta1=beta2=0 It is small when beta1 and/or beta2 is not equal to 0 How can I find it by R? Thank you very much
