similar to: Selecting First Incidence from Longitudinal Data

I have a vaiable named NAM having value : 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. I want to make an indicator variable that will take value 1 if NAM=7 or NAM=8 or NAM=9. How can I do that? I usually do: Var001<- ifelse(NAM==7,1,0) for the simplest case. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I have two indicator variables ABS and DEFF. I want to create another indicator variable which will take value 1 if either ABS=1 or DEFF=1. Otherwise, it will take value 0. How can I make that? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I have a generalized linear model to solve. I used package "geepack". When I use the correlation structure "unstructured", I get a messeage that- R GUI front-end has stopped working. Why this happens? What is the solution? The r codes are as follows: a<-read.table("d:/bmt.txt",header=T")

Hello, I have a problem regarding calculation of Cumulative Incidence Function. The event of interest is failure of bone-marrow transplantation, which may occur due to relapse or death in remission. The data set that I have consists of- lifetime variable, two indicator variables-one for relapse and one for death in remission, and the other variables are donor type (having 3 categories), disease

Dear R Users, I have a question based on my research. I am analyzing reader-based diagnostic data set. My study involves diabetic patients who were evaluated for treatable diabetic retinopathy based on the presence or absence of two pathologies in their eyes. Pathologies were identified using the clinical examination (Gold standard method). In addition it can be identified by taking digital

Hi, I am trying to write a loop to recode my data from -999 to NA in R. What's the most efficient way to do this? Below is what I'm presently doing, which is inefficient. Thanks, Chris dat0 <- read.table("time1.dat") colnames(dat0) <- c("e1dq", "e1arcp", "e1dev", "s1prcp", "s1nrcp", "s1ints",

Hi dear R-help memebers, When building a CART model (specifically classification tree) using rpart, it is sometimes obvious that there are variables (X's) that are meaningful for predicting some of the outcome (y) variables - while other predictors are relevant for other outcome variables (y's only). *How can it be estimated, which explanatory variable is "used" for which of

Hello all, I have read as many merge issues as I possibly could tonight and although I presume this is a small error, I have not found the solution to my problem. I'm trying to merge two data sets: dat0 and TransTable. As you can see below, dat0 has 8000 rows, whereas TransTable has 47296 rows. I would expect when I merge the two data sets, with all.x=F, and all.y=F, that the

I'm trying to use mars{mda} to model functions that look fairly close to a sequence of straight line segments. Unfortunately, 'mars' seems to totally miss the obvious places for the knots in the apparent first order spline model, and I wonder if someone can suggest a better way to do this. The following example consists of a slight downward trend followed by a jump up after

Hi, I am wondering if anyone can propose a simple/best way to do the following: Let's say I have a data frame dat <- cbind(expand.grid(mode=c('right','left'),time=0:3,id=c('p1','p2','p3')),y=c(3,5,rep(4,6),6,2,rep(3,6),4,4,rep(2,6))) dat mode time id y 1 right 0 p1 3 2 left 0 p1 5 3 right 1 p1 4 4 left 1 p1 4 5 right 2

In the first line, use the dist function, found in library mva, to get the distance between each pair of rows. From this calculate an incidence matrix for which element i,j is true if row i in dat equals row j in dat (and false elsewhere). In the second line, for each row calculate the indices of the matching rows and take the minimum of those as the key. incid <-

Hi, I am trying to merge data similar to the example data below > dat0 id var1 var2 var3 2 1 0 1 3 1 0 1 4 0 1 1 5 0 1 1 > dat1 id var4 var5 var6 2 1 0 1 3 1 0 1 6 0 1 1 7 0 1 1 > dat2 id

Dear All, I would like to find something ( references, code,..) to implement a comparison of three treatments in an observational study using the 'Propensity Score'. Any help is much appreciated.

A data set(dat),has 2 variables: x and a, and 100 rows. I wanna add 2 variables,and call the new data set dat1: var1:f = a/median(a) var2:x_new = x*f My solution: dat1<-transform(dat,f = a/median(a),x_new = x*f) But gets error reply which says that "f" is not exits since dat has no variables called "f". So I have to do through 2 steps:

Hi I'm doing a regression analysis with dummy variables and I'm getting NA for some coefficients. I've inspected residuals, leverage effects and Cook's distance and it seems ok. Can someone explains what can cause this problem ? Thanks EJ

Hi, what to do with this? thanks in advance [serge@rex serge]$ wine write.exe Invoking /opt/wine/bin/wine.bin write.exe ... For language 'fr' several language ids were found: fr_FR - 040C; fr_BE - 080C; fr_CA - 0C0C; fr_CH - 100C; fr_LU - 140C; Instead of using first in the list, suggest to define your LANG environment variable like this: LANG=fr_FR Wine exited with a successful status

Bonjour tout le monde. En fait je voudrait savoir si il est possible d''enlever l''une des trois fonctions de la frame(maximize_box, minimise_box, close_box). On peut retirer les 3 en même temps, mais est-ce que l''on peut juste retirer l''une des trois? merci sebastien http://beusse.liveror.com _______________________________________________ wxruby-users mailing
