Dear Jarrod, I have a data set where residual have a heavy-tailed distribution with some extreme residual values and consequently the distribution deviates from the Gaussian one. Is it possible to include an skewed-normal density for the residual in MCMCglmm package? I have done the analysis of this data with both ASReml & MCMCglmm. The results are similar and outcome from MCMCglmm

Dear All, I am learning the ropes about logistic regression in R. I found some interesting examples http://bit.ly/Vq4GgX http://bit.ly/W9fUTg http://bit.ly/UfK73e but I am a bit lost. I have several questions. 1) For instance, what is the difference between glm.out = glm(response ~ poverty + gender, family=binomial(logit), data=mydata) and glm.out = glm(response ~ poverty * gender,

I have a data frame somewhat like this: myframe <- data.frame (ID=c(2,3,4,5), Hunger =c(415,452,550,318 )) myframe Now I would like to add a column to the right which summarizes the values for Hunger somewhat to reduce the number of values: If the values for Hunger are between 300-400 I would like to insert the number 350, between 400-500 insert 450 between 500-600 insert 550 Does

Hello, I tried for about three hours now to solve this problem but I can't figure it out. I am sure someone knows how do it. At least I hope so.

Hello, I've started using R few months ago and I really like it. I need to estimate standard deviation of certain statistics (some measures of poverty). I found a really simple program, and I just need to check whether it's OK and really calculates what it's supposed to. Let's suppose e. g. head-count index (as one of the simplest measures of poverty) which is calculated as a
