NLS results different from Excel
The idea that the Excel solver "has a good reputation for being fast and accurate" does not withstand an examination of the Excel solver's ability to solve the StRD nls test problems. Solver's ability is abysmal. 13 of 27 "answers" have zero accurate digits, and three more have fewer than two accurate digits -- and this is after tuning the solver to get a good

problem with deriv3?
Using S+ 6 for Linux and R 1.4.1 Taking verbatim some lines from S-Plus that work perfectly, and running them on R, I get an unexpected error message: R : Copyright 2002, The R Development Core Team Version 1.4.1 (2002-01-30) > library(MASS) > data <- read.table("/usr/local/data/mcmanus.dat",header=T) > mcmanus.frm <-

Sharing a Secondary Hard Drive
I just recently installed a second hard drive in my Samba server with the hopes of sharing it with the rest of my home network. It seems like Samba can not get the correct permissions to the drive, however. I have the drive mounted under /media/public, and when I try to map a share directly to it and open the share with a client, I get an NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME error. When I map the

References verifying accuracy of R for basic statistical calculations and tests
Do you know of any references that verify the accuracy of R for basic statistical calculations and tests. The results of these studies should indicate that R results are the same as the results of other statistical packages to a certain number of decimal places on some benchmark calculations. Thanks, Corey Powell Clinical Data Analyst Broncus Technologies cpowell@broncus.com [[alternative

Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm
Hi All, Is the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm available in R. This method combines the steepest descent algorithm and Newton's method.

PBQP register allocation and copy propagation
Hi, > > I think one idea to improve the situation is to consider the cost vector of adjacent nodes during RN. Let's say you decided to do a RN for node A and want to compute the costs for choosing register %Ri. The current implementation does this by computing min(row/column i of edge A <--> B) but you can do better by adding B's cost vector to the row/column before computing

SP? Re: Rounding problem R vs Excel
Hi again Sam, Sorry for not replying sooner. I have been ignoring everything for a while to work on the AMMP analysis tool and the continuing saga of migrating the legacy AMMP data. Our consultant has written some programs that take a VERY long time to run :( Anyway, I now know Java and a certain amount of JSP. I hope to be able to get around to this soon. It is all a bit hard now with our

SUMMARY: Comparison of SAS & R/Splus
My thanks to Drs. Armstrong, Bates, Harrell, Liaw, Lumley, Prager, Schwartz, and Mr. Wang for their replies. I have pasted my original message and their replies below. After viewing http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/strd/ as suggested by Dr. Schwartz, it occurred to me that it might be educational to search for some data repositories on google. I was able to find some,though I'm sure many of

Plotting Comparisons with Missing Data
Hi, I'm new to R and I've run into a problem that I'm not really sure how to express properly in the language. I've got a data table that I've read from a file containing some simple information about the performance of 4 algorithms. The columns are the name of the algorithm, the problem instance and the resulting score on that problem (if it wasn't solved I mark that

Excel Solver Add-In / Alternatives
Hi, I can't seem to get any Excel Add-Ins to work. In particular, I need the 'Solver' for an assignment ... I've tried with two office versions (2007/2003), which I've managed to install successfully (you have to enable the Solver add-in during installation), but it's the same every time. When I try to start it up I get a message saying can't access SOLVER.XLA, and

'gmm' package: How to pass controls to a numerical solver used in the gmm() function?
Hello -- The question I have is about the gmm() function from the 'gmm' package (v. 1.4-5). The manual accompanying the package says that the gmm() function is programmed to use either of four numerical solvers -- optim, optimize, constrOptim, or nlminb -- for the minimization of the GMM objective function. I wonder whether there is a way to pass controls to a solver used while calling

NIST StRD linear regression
NIST maintains a repository of Statistical Reference Datasets at http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/strd/. I have been working through the datasets to compare R's results to their references with the hope that if all works well, this could become a validation package. All the linear regression datasets give results with some degree of accuracy except one. The NIST model includes 11 parameters,

[LLVMdev] Puzzle solver on LLVM 2.1
Dear guys, I've put the puzzle solver running on LLVM 2.1. Well, at least partially, for it is failing three of SPEC2000 benchmarks. I will try to debug it now. The results are not as good as before. I mean, the puzzle solver is still the same, but the default allocator is producing very good code now. Even though, the puzzle solver produces faster code for half the benchmarks. It

general inverse solver?
Just wondering if there's an R package which does tricks similar to what TK!Solver does. TK!Solver, for those not lucky enough to have found it, basically allows one to define a bunch of equations, assign values to an arbitrary subset of the variables, from which it calculates (either directly when possible or back-solving when not) the values of the other variable(s). thanks Carl
