Hello list! I would like to fit a distribution to each of the peaks in a histogram, such as this: http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7029/2724/1600/DU145-Bax3-Bcl-xL.png . The peaks are identified using Petr Pikal peaks function ( http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/33097.html), but after that I am quite stuck. Any idea as to how I can: Fit a distribution to each peak Integrate the

Hi, I am currently working on fitting a mixture density to financial data. I have the following data: http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=00083355432555420222 I want to fit a mixture density of two normal distributions. I have the formula: f(l)=πϕ(l;μ1,σ21)+(1−π)ϕ(l;μ2,σ22) my R code is: normalmix<-normalmixEM(dat,k=2,fast=TRUE) pi<-normalmix$lambda[1] mu1<-normalmix$mu[1]

In 2004 there was this R-Help posting from Jan 2004: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/33097.html R equivalent of Splus peaks() function? The peaks function there has worked well for me on a couple of projects, but some code using "peaks" failed today, which had worked fine in the past. I was looking for a peak in a test case that was a sine curve over one

Hello, Thank you to all those great folks that have helped me in the past (especially Dennis Murphy). I have a new challenge. I often generate time-series data sets that look like the one below, with a variable ("Phase") which has a series of flat-topped peaks (sample data below with 5 "peaks"). I would like to calculate the phase value for each peak. It would be great to

Hi Elisa, I hope this is what you wanted. dat1<-read.csv("peaks.csv",sep=",") #Subset dat2<-dat1[1:5,] res1<-do.call(cbind,lapply(seq_len(nrow(dat2)),function(i) do.call(rbind,lapply(split(rbind(dat2[i,],dat2[-i,]),1:nrow(rbind(dat2[i,],dat2[-i,]))), function(x) {x1<-rbind(dat2[i,],x);

I'm sure there must be various peak-finding algorithms out there. Not knowing of any, I have written one myself*, but I thought I'd ask to see what's out there. Basically, I have a 2-dimensional data set and I want to identify local peaks in the data, while ignoring "trivial" peaks. My naive algorithm first identifies every peak and valley (point of inflection change

Is there any R package that can help me with digging out the maxima of a 1-D trajectory ? I have 975 1-D curves. They are only known as time series. That is a set of points ordered with respect to time. Some curves exhibit one only peak. Others have two peaks of different height. We wish to find the number of peaks and their position along the time axis. Apparently it's a trivial problem

http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n3312061/x_and_y_values.txt x_and_y_values.txt I have the absorbance values form HPLC Chromatogram. I need to find the peaks in datapoints and area under each peak. I am not sure how how to find the peaks, I tried couple of libraries and peak function but they return me a list of values which when computed from area turns out to be huge nnumbers. In the

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of a package that contains the ability for peak/valley detection. Here is an example of what I'm looking for, only problem is that it's written in Matlab. http://www.billauer.co.il/peakdet.html Thanks for any help in advance. -Joe

Hello, I have some xy data which clearly shows a non-monotonic, peaked triangular trend. You can get an idea of what it looks like with: x<-1:20 y<-c(2*x[1:10]+1,-2*x[11:20]+42) I've tried fitting a quadratic, but it just doesn't the data-structure with the break point adequately. Is there anyway to fit a triangular or 'tent' function to my data in R? Some sample code

I have a seasonal time series. I want to calculate the annual mean value of the time series at its peak (say the mean of the three values before the peak, the peak, and the three values after the peak). The peak of the time series might change cycle slightly from year to year. # E.g., nPts <- 254 foo <- sin((2 * pi * 1/24) * 1:nPts) foo <- foo + rnorm(nPts, 0, 0.05) bar <- ts(foo,

Hello all I'm trying to do a simulation that involves identifying the minimum point between two peaks of a (usually) bimodal distribution. I can do this easily if there are only two peaks: CnBdens<-density(Ys/Xs) #probability density function for ratio of Ys to Xs for(p in 1:512) ifelse(CnBdens$y[p]>CnBdens$y[p-1],peak1<-p,break) #identifies first peak in probability

This is probably a trivial question, but I did not see it in the FAQs. Perhaps I simply need to be pointed to some URLs. In any case, I have some sampled data that has peaks, and I would like to extract peak height, location, and width, according to almost any statistical model. Gaussian would seem to make the most sense. There can also be "steps" increasing the amplitude over a

Dear useRs, I have a curve which is a mixture of Gaussian curves (for example UV emission or absorption spectrum). Do you have any suggestions how to implement searching for optimal set of Gaussian peaks to fit the curve? I know that it is very complex problem, but maybe it is a possibility to do it? First supposement is to use a nls() with very large functions, and compare AIC value, but it is

Hello all, I have some histograms of amount of DNA in some cells (DU145 cells overexpressing Bax and Bcl-xL for those who wish to know). The histograms show not only two peaks as expected, but three, indicating that some cells have more than normal amounts of DNA. I am interested in knowing how much of the cell populations are in each peak as well as between. I am not really sure how to go

Hi everyone, first of all, I would like to say that I am a newbie in R, so I apologize in advance if my questions seem to be too easy for you. Well, I'm looking for periodicity in histograms. I have histograms of certain phenomenons and I'm asking whether a periodicity exists in these data. So, I make a periodogram with the function spec.pgram. For instance, if I have a histogram h, I

Happy New Year, r-helpers! I am using lowess to smooth a scatter plot, xx<-lowess(xinput,f=.04) #defaults for other args followed by turnpoints(xx$y) #defaults for other args I plot the smoothed result as well as turnpoints (using yy$tppos) on top of raw data plot. Result is exactly as expected, graphically. For another purpose, I calcuate the difference between turnpoints (representing

Dear Sirs, The below listed code fits a gamma and a pareto distribution to a data set danishuni. However the distributions are not appropriate to fit both tails of the data set hence a mixed distribution is required which has ben defined as "mixgampar" as shown below. library(fitdistrplus) x<- danishuni$Loss fgam<- fitdist(x,"gamma",lower=0) fpar<-

I am looking for a function in R that is equivalent to the function "peaks" in Splus. This function gives the local maxima of a vector. I do not find it using the help and I 'm not sure it exits in R. Could someone help me ?
