similar to: Bug in VGAM z value and coefficient ?

Dear useRs, upon request, the VGAM package (currently version 0.7-1) has been officially released on CRAN (the package has been at my website http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~yee/VGAM for a number of years now). VGAM implements a general framework for several classes of regression models using iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS). The key ideas are Fisher scoring, generalized linear and

Anyone know how to get p-values for the t-values from the coefficients produced in vglm? Attached is the code and output ? see comment added to output to show where I need p-values + print(paste("********** Using VGAM function gamma2 **********")) + modl2<- vglm(MidPoint~Count,gamma2,data=modl.subset,trace=TRUE,crit="c") + print(coef(modl2,matrix=TRUE))

Hi Folks, I wonderif someone who is familiar with the details of vglm in the VGAM package can assist me. I'm new to using it, and there doesn;t seem much in the documentation that's relevant to the question below. Say I have a vector x of 0/1 responses and another vector y of 0/1 responses, these in fact being a bivariate set of 0/1 responses equivalent to cbind(x,y). E.g.

The symptom triggering this email is that an S4 summary method sometimes refuses to be invoked, even when a package is explicitly loaded, if the first load of the package is implicit. It may or may not be specific to 'summary' methods and/or the 'VGAM' package. I've sent to R-devel because (i) it looks like some kind of bug to me, but I'm not sure; (ii) it's not

Dear R-help gurus (and T.Yee, the VGAM maintainer) - I've been banging my head against the keyboard for too long now, hopefully someone can pick up on the errors of my ways... I am trying to use optim to fit a zero-inflated negative binomial distribution. No matter what I try I can't get optim to recognize my initial parameters. I think the problem is that dnbinom allows either

Hello R users, I am performing a multinomial logit regression and would like to constrain a few model coefficients to be equal. Here is my model: multi <- vglm(case123con ~ SNP_A1+SNP_A2+age, multinomial, work.analy) where case123con is a four level categorical variable (case 1, case 2, case 3, control) and SNP_A1 and SNP_A2 are indicator functions (yes/no). The output of this

R-Experts: I am using the vglm function of the VGAM library to perform proportional odds ordinal logistic regression. The issue that I would like help with concerns the format in which the response variable must be provided for this function to work correctly. Consider the following example: ------ library(VGAM) library(MASS) attach(pneumo) pneumo # Inspect the format of the original dataset

Hello everyone, using the VGAM package and the following code library(VGAM) bp1 <- vglm(cbind(daten$anzahl_b, daten$deckung_b) ~ ., binom2.rho, data=daten1) summary(bp1) coef(bp1, matrix=TRUE) produced this error message: error in object$coefficients : $ operator not defined for this S4 class I am bit confused because some day ago this error message did not show up and

I would like to fit a Pareto Distribution and I am using the following codes fit=vglm(ycf1 ~ 1, pareto1(location=alpha), trace=TRUE, crit="c") fitted(fit) But the fitted values turn out to be the same for each observation. I guess the problem is with "ycf1 ~ 1", I would be grateful if anyone can give me some advice on how to define the formula. Many thanks -- View this

Hi All, I'm fitting an proportional odds model using vglm() from VGAM. My response variable is the severity of diseases, going from 0 to 5 (the severity is actually an ordered factor). The independent variables are: 1 genetic marker, time of medical observation, age, sex. What I *need* is a p-value for the genetic marker. Because I have ~1.5 million markers I'd rather not faffing

Hi , I know this question has been asked twice in the past but to my knowldege, it still hasn't been solved. I am doing a zero inflated binomial model using the VGAM package, I need to obtain p values for my Tvalues in the vglm output. code is as follows > mod2=vglm(dmat~Season+Diel+Tidal.phase+Tidal.cycle,zibinomial, data=mp1) > summary(mod2) Call: vglm(formula = dmat ~ Season +

I am trying to figure out how to apply a loglog link to a binomial model (dichotomous response variable with far more zeros than ones). I am aware that there are several relevant posts on this list, but I am afraid I need a little more help. The two suggested approaches seem to be: 1) modify the make.link function in GLM, or 2) use the loglog or cloglog functions in the VGAM package.

Hello R users, I have a puzzle with the VGAM package, on my first excursion into generalized additive models, in that this very nice package seems to want to do either more or less than what I want. Precisely, I have a 4-component outcome, y, and am fitting multinomial logistic regression with one predictor x. What I would like to find out is, is there a single nonlinear function f(x) which acts

Question: after fitting a gamma function to some data, how do I get predicted values? I'm a SAS programmer, I new R, and am having problems getting my brain to function with the concept of "object as class ...". The following is specifics of what I am doing: I'm trying to determine the pdf from data I have created in a simulation. I have generated frequency counts

I want to test whether the proportional odds assumption for an ordered regression is met. The UCLA website points out that there is no mathematical way to test the proportional odds assumption (http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat//R/dae/ologit.htm), and use graphical inspection ("We were unable to locate a facility in R to perform any of the tests commonly used to test the parallel slopes

Hi All, I get the following error when i perform a t.test. studentt<-apply(tlr, 1, function(x) t.test(x[2:6], x[7:11],var.equal=TRUE)$p.value) # tlr is a table of 11 columns and 22500 rows. I am not able to post tlr due to its size. Error in if (stderr < 10 * .Machine$double.eps * max(abs(mx), abs(my))) stop("data are essentially constant") : missing value where

Dear R users, I'm having a problem with maxiter specification in VGLM function. I tried to increase the number of iteration to 100, but it still stopped at 30, which is the default. Here is my script: FIT <- vglm(SFH_PCT ~ RD_DEN + CAR_HH + TRS + RES_L, tobit(Lower=0), maxiter = 100) Thanks Gary [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, R-users Could someone help me to understand this following error.
