I tried to mount a volume using cifs as the filesystem type. I am using the cifs 1.02 patch on kernel version 2.4.22. The machine holding the disks is a WinXP Pro machine. When I use plain vanilla mount with cifs as the filesystem, I get: Mosix4 / # mount -t cifs //192.168.0.3/Fukuoka_c /fukuoka/c -o username=Administrator,pass=passw0rd,ro mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on

Dear All, I have a database of 200 observations named myD. In the dataframe there are a column named code (with codes varying from 1 to 77), a column named "prevalence" with some quantitative measurements are given and an column named Pr_mean, with no values. I would like to set a cycle to compute the average of prevalence values for each different code and store the averages under the

Hello Everyone, I was analysing big survey data using survey packages on RStudio. Survey package allows survey data analysis with the design effect.The survey package included functions for all other statistical analysis except two-proportion z tests. I was trying to calculate the difference in prevalence of Diabetes and Prediabetes between the year 2011 and 2017 (with 95%CI). I was able to

Dear Md Kamruzzaman, To answer your second question first, you could just use the svychisq() function. The difference-of-proportion test is equivalent to a chisquare test for the 2-by-2 table. You don't say how you computed the confidence intervals for the two separate proportions, but if you have their standard errors (and if not, you should be able to infer them from the confidence

Hey everyone, I'm working on a contour plot depicting asymptomatic prevalence at varying durations of infectiousness and force of infection. I've been able to work everything out except for this one - my legend title keeps getting cut off. Here's what I have: filled.contour(x=seq(2,30,length.out=nrow(asym_matrix)), y=seq(1,2,length.out=ncol(asym_matrix)), asym_matrix, color =

Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to specify the prevalence of events in logistic regression using lrm() from Design package? Linear Discriminant Analysis using lda() from MASS library has an argument "prior=" that we can use to specify the prevalent of events when the actual dataset being analyzed does not have a representative prevalence. How can we incorporate this information in

Hello, I'm an MD working in an eye clinic. I'm learning by myself to use R for use in my research works and for implementation in a software project. There are some authors who recomends the use of Cox regression as a substitute for Logistic regression (<a href="http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2288/3/21.pdf"> Barros AJD, Hirakata VN. BMCMedical Research Methodology, 2003;

Dear R colleagues, consider my data.frame named "df" with 3 columns - being level, prevalence and sensitivity - and 7 rows of data (see dump below). df <- structure(list(level = structure(1:7, .Label = c("0", "1", "10", "100", "1010", "11", "110"), class = "factor"), prevalence = structure(c(4L, 2L, 3L,

Dear all, I have been stuck on this problem, am rather struggling and would appreciate some advice if anyone can help. I apologise if this is a bit long-winded, but I've tried to limit it to the bare essentials, but don't know how to make it more generic! I have some slightly odd real world data that I'm looking at representing number of positive diagnoses for different diseases,

Dear colleagues: This summer, the ASA will award a new prize for statistical software. This note is to encourage you to apply or nudge someone you know to apply. The award is for software that contributes to better use of computing in statistical research and applications, written while the applicant was a student. There is a $1,000 prize plus the opportunity to give an invited talk at the

I'm resending this message because I did not include a subject line in my first posting. Apologies for the inconvenience! Tanja > Hello, > > I'm trying to fit a generalized linear mixed model to estimate diabetes prevalence at US county level. To do this I'm using the glmer() function in package lme4. I can fit relatively simple models (i.e. few covariates) but when

Hello R users, I am working with the GAM to inspect the effect of some factors (year, area) and continuous variables (length, depth, latitude and longitude) on the intensity and prevalence of the common parasite Anisakis. I would like introduce interaction in my models, both "continuous variables-continuous variables" and "continuous variables-factor". I have read some

Newsgroup members, Does anyone have a clever way to simulate a correlation matrix such that each column contains dichotomous variables (0,1) and where each column has different prevalence rates. For instance, I would like to simulate the following correlation matrix: > CORMAT[1:4,1:4] PUREPT PTCUT2 PHQCUT2T ALCCUTT2 PUREPT 1.0000000 0.5141552 0.1913139 0.1917923 PTCUT2

Hi all! I'm new to this forum so please excuse me if I don't conform perfectly to the protocols on this board! I'm trying to get an estimate of true prevalence based upon results from an imperfect test. I have various estimates of se/sp which could inform my priors (at least upper and lower limits even if with a uniform distribution) and found the following code on this website..

I am trying to allow users with permissions in one group (DEV) to have full access to a folder that is owned by (QA). I have not been able to figure this out. Its running samba 4.2 in WORKGROUP mode (I can find everything for domain but I am not ready for that). Its running on freebsd on the latest nas4free build NAS with a ZFS file system..
