Hi, I am brand new to R and not familiar with the language, though I have been reading the manuals and making some slow going progress. I am working with some source code from a Global Vector Auto -Regressive program written by Ranier Puhr from the R-forge group. I need help interpreting the processes of the following code. I am going to post in parts since it's pretty long: GVAR

Hello, I have conducted an SEM in which the resultant standardized path coefficients are much higher than would be expected from the raw correlation matrix. To explore further, I stripped the model down to a simple bivariate relationship between two variables (NDVI, and species richness), where it's my understanding that the SEM's standardized path coefficient should equal the correlation

Hello all, I have an issue where I am generating data and trying to confirm the estimates using a sem. I keep getting an error about the degree of freedom being negative "Error in sem.default(ram, S = S, N = N, raw = raw, data = data, pattern.number = pattern.number, : The model has negative degrees of freedom = -6" Can someone explain this error or tell me what is wrong with my

Using R-studio, I am trying to run a structural equation model and I am running into problems with testing my primary model. Once I specify everything and try to run it I get this error: Error in eigen(S, symmetric = TRUE, only.values = TRUE) : 0 x 0 matrix And when I look at the object for my primary model in my workspace, which is created after I specify it, it lists all my model components,

Dear Users, I loaded my dataset as following: presu <- read.table("C:/_Ricardo/Paty/qtdata_f.txt", header=TRUE, sep="\t", na.strings="NA", dec=".", strip.white=TRUE) dep<-presu[,3]; exo<-presu[,4:92]; When I try: rq(dep ~ exo, ...) or mle.stepwise(dep ~ exo, ...) I got the same error: > rq(dep ~ exo) Error in model.frame(formula, rownames,

Hello all I have what seems like a simple question but have not been able to find an answer on the forum. I'm trying to define a function which involves regression models and a large number of covariates. I would like the function to accept any number of covariates and, ideally, I would like to be able to enter the covariates in a group (e.g. as a list) rather than individually. Is there any

Hello, I am using the SEM package in R to fit a multigroup latent variable model and ran into some difficulties. I have 2 questions: 1. First, I am getting the following error message and wondering what to do to fix it: Error in solve.default((N[g] - 1) * robustVcov(mod.g, adj.obj = adj.objects[[g]])) : system is computationally singular: reciprocal condition number = 4.52055e-23

Dear R users, Version 2.1-1 of the sem package, for structural equation modeling, is now on CRAN. Unlike version 2.0-0, which was a major overhaul of the package, version 2.1-1 just sprinkles some syntactic sugar on it, introducing the specifyEquations() and cfa() functions; specifyEquations() supports model specification in equation (rather than path) format, and cfa() facilitates compact

Hello, All, GWAF 1.2 R.Version() is below. system(lme.batch.imputed( phenfile = 'phenfile.csv', genfile = 'CARe_imputed_release.0.fhsR.gz', pedfile='pedfile.csv', phen='phen1', covar=c('covar1','covar2'), kinmat='imputed_fhs.kinship.RData', outfile='imputed.FHS.IBC.GWAF.LME.output.0.txt' )) Gives the error messages: Error in

Hi, I load my data set and separate it as folowing: presu <- read.table("C:/_Ricardo/Paty/qtdata_f.txt", header=TRUE, sep="\t", na.strings="NA", dec=".", strip.white=TRUE) dep<-presu[,3]; exo<-presu[,4:92]; Now, I want to use it using the wls and quantreg packages. How I change the data classes for mle and rq objects? Thanks a lot,

I'm not aware of any routine that those the job, although I think that it could be relatively easily done by multiplication the manifest variable vector with the estimates for the specific effect. To make an example: v1; v2; v3; v4 are manifest variables that loads on one y latent variablein a data frame called "A" the code for the model should be like: model <-specifymodel( y

dear: when I read a Excel file(exp-11),The R project give me a error ,Just like this: ??'datafile' > write.foreign("exp-11.xls") ???list(df = df, datafile = datafile, codefile = codefile) : ??'datafile' > write.foreign("exp-11.xls") ???list(df = df, datafile = datafile, codefile = codefile) : ??'datafile' >

Hi, it's my first time to write a loop with R for my homework. This loop is part of the function. I wanna assign values for hll according to panel [ii,1]=pp. I didn't get any error message in this part. but then when I further calculate another stuff with hll, the function can't return. I think it must be some problem in my loop. Probably something stupid or easy. But I tried to look

Dear User, I got the following error running a regression quantile: > rq1<-rq(dep ~ ., model=TRUE, data=exo, tau=0.5 ); > summary(rq1) Erro em rq.fit.fnb(x, y, tau = tau + h) : Error info = 75 in stepy: singular design Any hint about the problem?

We have just updated our office server to Asterisk 11.4.0 from 1.8.15 and internally everything is working fine. The problem we are having is that we cannot use any external phone connected through the Internet. This used to work fine with 1.8 but since the upgrade whenever you register any phone from an outside network the phone tries to register using the servers internal IP. I endo up

People, For some years I have been using rsync quite happily to send / retrieve files to / from SSHDroid Pro but recently I have started having a problem when transferring large numbers of file - I am pretty sure it started after upgrading from Fedora x86_64 28 to 29 - but I am not 100% sure. Below is the tail end of the output of: rsync -avvv root at 192.168.1.100:/storage . >

I am fitting a reduced form VAR model using VAR in the vars library. I have several endogenous variables, and two exogenous variables. I would like to explore the effects of a shock to one of the exogenous variables on one of the endogenous variables. Using irf in the vars library only calculates the irf for the endogenous variables, this is obviously by design, is there some theoretical

Hi. Recently, in addition to Gnome I installed xfce. Now, if firefox already started, and I open URLs in wine, I get this message box: ****************** Failed to execute default Web Browser. No child processes. ****************** With trial and error I found that the package exo is causing this. http://www.xfce.org/projects/exo Please someone try to reproduce: install exo and run: $ wine start

Hello, I have 3 hdd (120 GB, 120 GB and 80 GB) mounted on /data1 , /data2 and /data3. All these drives must be shared via a public access with Samba. For the moment, I can only share the 'data1' directory. [public] path = /data1 Is there a possibility to share several disks under the same account ? By example : [public] path = /data1, /data2, /data3 Then, under Windows, I'd like
