Hello! I'm a newcomer to R hoping to replace some convoluted database code with an R script. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out how to implement the following logic. Essentially, we have a database of transactions that are coded with a geographic locale and a type. These are being loaded into a data.frame with named variables city, type, and price. E.g., trans$city

Dear useRs, I was searching CRAN for implementation of kurtosis and skewness tests, and found that there is some kind of lack on it. So, I have written three functions: 1. Anscombe-Glynn test for kurtosis 2. Bonett-Seier test based on Geary's kurtosis (which is not widely known, but I was inspired by original paper describing it, found coincidentally in Elsevier database) 3.

Hi, I'm a newcomer to R, having previously used SPSS. One problem I have run into is computing kurtosis. A test dataset is here: http://www.whinlatter.ukfsn.org/2401.dat > library(moments) > data <- read.table("2401.dat", header=T) > attach(data) > loglen <- log10(Length) With SPSS, I get Skewness -0.320 Kurtosis -1.138 With R: > skewness(loglen) [1]

is there a way to use the actual index value for plotting zoo objects this is the way that the index is set up and a sample range of what I would like to plot 01/01/06 00:00:00 - 01/01/06 23:45:00 { library(zoo) # chron library(chron) fmt.chron <- function(x) { chron(sub(" .*", "", x), gsub(".* (.*)", "\\1:00", x)) }} x <- structure(c(15.57, 15.5,

Dear R Users, I was hoping for some help with a recurrent error message in lmer. I am trying to model the effect of temperature on metabolic rate in animals (response = int.length) at different temperatures (mean.sst), with repeated measurements on the same individuals (random effect = female). Ideally I would make a random slope and intercept model where the rate can change differently with

Hello I am a new user of R . and I ve problem with R and netcdf . I succed installation , I could use all examples . But when I take my netcf it is different . I want to do statistic on this kind of file . 1) first calculate mean . my data is like that through ncdump -h test.nc netcdf test { dimensions: lat = 301 ; lon = 401 ; time = UNLIMITED ; // (80 currently)

Hello, This is probably very simple but I am trying to select a region from the OIv2 SST dataset that crosses 0 longitude. The longitude variable is arranged from 0 to 360 and I get an error message when trying to go from 330 to 30 for example. The data are from a NOAA netCDF file. *temp = open.ncdf("c:/documents and settings/theoni/desktop/sstoi_v2.nc") print(temp) y1 = get.var.ncdf(

Greetings Everybody: I generated a 1.2MB dta file based on the general social survey with Stata8 for linux. The file can be re-opened with Stata, but when I bring it into R, it says all the values are missing for most of the variables. This dataset is called "morgen.dta" and I dropped a copy online in case you are interested http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn/R/morgen.dta looks like this

Hi- I'm wrestling with some of my data apparently not being called into a GLM or an LM. I'm looking at factors affecting fish annual catch rates (ie. CPUE) over 30 years. Two of the factors I'm using are sea surface temperature and sea surface temperature anomaly. A small sample of my data is below: CPUE Year Vessel_ID Base_Port Boat_Lgth Planing SST Anomaly 0.127

i use library(ncdf) to read this file as follow library(ncdf) sst.nc = open.ncdf(title) lonall = get.var.ncdf(sst.nc,'lon') latall = get.var.ncdf(sst.nc,'lat') precip = get.var.ncdf(sst.nc,'pre') close(sst.nc) if i use this method my pc freeze and not respond until i restart it is there -- View this message in context:

Hi, I am fitting a weighted least square regression and trying to compute SSE,SST and SSReg but I am not getting SST = SSReg + SSE and I dont know what I am coding wrong. Can you help please? xnam <-colnames(X) # colnames Design Matrix fmla1 <- as.formula(paste("Y ~",paste(xnam, collapse=

According to R help: princomp() uses eigenvalues of covariance data. prcomp() uses the SVD method. yet when I run the (eg., USArrests) data example and compare with my own "hand-written" versions of PCA I get what looks like the opposite. Example: comparing the variances I see: Using prcomp(USArrests) ------------------------------------- Standard deviations: [1] 83.732400 14.212402

Hi, I'd like to compare SST data for year 2000 with SST for year 2001. I managed to get filled contour plots showing monthly SST for both years (12 plots for each year, 24 plots in total). In order to compare year 2000 and year 2001, however, I'd need to have the same legend scale (same color bar) in both years plots. Thus, my question is: is there a way to set the legend scale in

Hello I do not know very much about statistics (and English language too :-( ), then I come in search of a clarification (explanation): I found two distinct results on KURTOSIS and I do not know which of them is the correct one.

Hello all, I have used describeBy to generate the following summary statistics. I simply need x and y error bars on a plot that has CQN (xaxis) and Price (yaxis). There should be four total points on the graph (one for each supplier). Using "error.crosses(desc$CQN, desc$Price)" does not work. group: a vars n mean sd median trimmed mad min max range skew CQN

Thanks to all who response my problem. Here are my summary : 1. from Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd at debian.org> We could try a mixture of normals -- ie flip a coin (use a uniform with some cutoff c where 0 < c < 1 ) to choose between N(0, sigma_1) and N(0, sigma_2). 2. from Michaell Taylor <michaell.taylor at reis.com> We could use the gld library to specify the lambdas of
