Dear all, I have bad RAM on the machine that I am using to create the backports, so I need to replace it. It took me a while to figure it out... While I was able to create the backport after several iterations with spurious segfaults, I will not upload it as I am not sure if it could be corrupted in some way. I hope to be able to upload a clean backport of R 3.4.1 during the rest of the week

Dear Johannes, Thanks a lot for this work! I have to admit that I'm now a little bit puzzled, though. I'm running Debian Jessie (current testing) with great satisfaction. When it comes to R, I simply have the SID repository (official Debian) enabled, with some pining to get only R-related stuff. Now, I'm not sure to understand the benefit of using the CRAN repository for Jessie?I

After Johannes set up the CRAN repository for Jessie, I had quite some trouble figuring out what any user should do to have a running and up-to-date R in Debian (particularly Testing). Part of the problem is, I think, the overwhelming documentation on the page "DEBIAN PACKAGES OF R SOFTWARE" which is provided on CRAN at /bin/linux/debian. Some information is also lacking in places.

Hi Johannes, I didn't know what would be the best approach to modify the page?how it was generated, is there a central place, etc.?which is why I posted on r-sig-debian in the first place. Anyway, although I'm more or less familiar with markdown and pandoc, it was easier for me to edit directly README.html as it was on CRAN. Please find attached a revision with the modifications I

Hello, I am modeling some survival data wih cph (Design). I have modeled a predictor which showed non linear effect with restricted cubic splines. I would like to retrieve the se(coef) for other, linear, predictors. This is just to make nice LateX tables automatically. I have the coefficients with coef(). How do I do that? Thanks, David Biau.

Thanks Johannes to clarify this point. It makes more sense to me now. So I understand that the idea is to make it simpler without apt-pinning for less adventurous people (I mean normal people :)): just add jessie-cran3 repo and you're good to go. Am I also correct that jessie-cran3 is essentially a backport of Debian SID, with some (short?) delay? In other words, modulo a couple of days,

Hello, I would like, if it is possible, to compare the effect of a variable across regression models. I have looked around but I haven't found anything. Maybe someone could help? Here is the problem: I am studying the effect of a variable (age) on an outcome (local recurrence: lr). I have built 3 models: - model 1: lr ~ age y = \beta_(a1).age - model 2: lr ~ age + presentation

Dear Help List, I am trying to install a package (DiagnosisMed) on R (R version 2.10.1 (2009-12-14)) on Debian Lenny (architecture i386). I get the following error message: ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ * installing *source* package ‘DiagnosisMed’ ... ** R ** data ** preparing package for lazy loading Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package) : Tcl/Tk support is not available on this

Hello, I would like to get the likelihood ratio and score tests for specific variables in a multivariate coxph model. The default is Wald, so the tests for each separate variable is based on Wald's test. I have the other tests for the full model but I don't know how to get them for each variable. Any idea?

Dear list, It looks like set.seed does not work for me (see code below). I am running Debian squeeze. Is this an issue with the distribution or with my understanding of the function? I'm pretty sure, but not certain, it used to work that way on windows > runif(5) [1] 0.6516557 0.5677378 0.1135090 0.5959253 0.3580500 > runif(5) [1] 0.42880942 0.05190332 0.26417767 0.39879073

Dear R help list, I am modeling some survival data with coxph and survreg (dist='weibull') using package survival. I have 2 problems: 1) I do not understand how to interpret the regression coefficients in the survreg output and it is not clear, for me, from ?survreg.objects how to. Here is an example of the codes that points out my problem: - data is stc1 - the factor is dichotomous

OK, thanks both. I'll try that. I suspect (very strongly) that it comes from the fact that I did not replace the cran mirror line by an actulal cran mirror URLs... I will give a look at all my backports this weekend and do a little cleaning too! thanks,   David Biau.   ################################# From: Johannes Ranke <jranke@uni-bremen.de> To: r-sig-debian@r-project.org

Dear all, I have a dataframe of names (netw), with each cell including last name and initials of an author; some cells have NA. I would like to extract only the last name from each cell; this new dataframe is calle 'res' Here is what I do: res <- data.frame(matrix(NA, nrow=dim(netw)[1], ncol=dim(netw)[2])) for (i in 1:x) { wh <- regexpr('[a-z]{3,}',

1. The weibull is the only distribution that can be written in both a proportional hazazrds for and an accelerated failure time form. Survreg uses the latter. In an ACF model, we model the time to failure. Positive coefficients are good (longer time to death). In a PH model, we model the death rate. Positive coefficients are bad (higher death rate). You are not the first to be confused
