Hi all, I'm running R version 2.9.2 on a PC. I'm having a problem with a loop, and have tried using an if statement within to fix it, but to no avail. Any advice would be appreciated. Here is my code: ***************************************************** eblest <- function(i,dir, sterr, weight, aux) { n <- nrow(dir) Y <- as.matrix(dir[,i], ncol=1) sigma2ei <-

Hi, I have 12 independent variables and one dependent variable. Now I want to select the best adj. R squared model by using the regsubsets command, so I code: > plot(regsubsets(Gesamt ~ CommunistSocialist + CountrySize + GNI + Lifeexp + Schoolyears + ExpMilitary + Mortality + + PopPoverty + PopTotal + ExpEdu + ExpHealth, data=olympiadaten, nbest=1, nvmax=12), scale='adjr2') Then I

Hello, I am pretty new to R, I have always used SAS and SAS products. My target variable is binary ('Y' and 'N') and i have about 14 predictor variables. My goal is to compare different variable selection methods like Forward, Backward, All possible subsests. I am using misclassification rate to pick the winner method. This is what i have as of now, Reg <- glm (Graduation ~.,

Hello, I am using the 'regsubsets' function (from leaps package) to get the best linear models to explain 1 variable from 1 to 5 explanatory variables (exhaustive search). Is there anyone who can tell me on which criterion is based the 'regsubsets' function ? Thank you. samuel Samuel BERTRAND Doctorant Laboratoire de Biomecanique LBM - ENSAM - CNRS UMR 8005

Hi all I am hoping this is just a minor problem, I am trying to implement a best subsets regression procedure on some ecological datasets using the regsubsets function in the leaps package. The dataset contains 43 predictor variables plus the response (logcount) all in a dataframe called environment. I am implementing it as follows: library(leaps)

The function 'regsubsets' appears to calculate a BIC value that is different from that returned by the function 'BIC'. The latter is explained in the documentation, but I can't find an expression for the statistic returned by 'regsubsets'. Incidentally, both of these differ from the BIC that is given in Ramsey and Schafer's, The Statistical Sleuth. I assume

Hello dear R-help members, I recently became interested in using biglm with leaps, and found myself somewhat confused as to how to use the two together, in different settings. I couldn't find any example codes for the leaps() package (except for in the help file, and the examples there are not as rich as they could be). That is why I turn to you in case you could share some good tips and

Hi, I'm new to R and this mailing list, so I will attempt to state my question as appropriately as possible. I am running R version 2.7 with Windows XP and have recently been exploring the use of the function regsubsets in the leaps package in order to perform all-subsets regression. So, I'm calling the function as:

Hi i need to create a model from 250 + variables with high collinearity, and only 17 data points (p = 250, n = 750). I would prefer to use Cp, AIC, and/or BIC to narrow down the number of variables, and then use VIF to choose a model without collinearity (if possible). I realize that having a huge p and small n is going to give me extreme linear dependency problems, but I *think* these model

Hi, I would like to perform a forward selection procedure on a data set with 6 observations and 10 predictors. I tried to run it with regsubsets (I set nvmax=number of observations) but I keep getting these warning messages: Warning messages: 1: 5 linear dependencies found in: leaps.setup(x, y, wt = weights, nbest = nbest, nvmax = nvmax, 2: nvmax reduced to 5 in: leaps.setup(x, y, wt =

I'm interested in writing some model selection functions (for linear regression models, as a start), which incorporate the PRESS criterion since it, to my knowledge, is not currently implemented in any available model selection procedure. I thought it would be simplest to build on already existing functions like regsubsets in package leaps. It's easy enough to calculate the PRESS

Hi Folks, I've got a question concerning the calculation of the Schwarz-Criterion (BIC) done by summary.regsubsets() of the leaps-package: Using regsubsets() to perform subset-selection I receive an regsubsets object that can be summarized by summary.regsubsets(). After this operation the resulting summary contains a vector of BIC-values representing models of size i=1,...,K. My problem

Hi, I want to make model selection with regsubsets. My code is: a<-regsubsets(Gesamt ~ CommunistSocialist + CountrySize + GNI + Lifeexp + Schoolyears + ExpMilitary + Mortality + PopPoverty + PopTotal + ExpEdu + ExpHealth, data=olympiadaten, nbest=2) summary(a) plot(a,scale="adjr2") (output attached) The problem is now, that I want to fit the best model again "manually"

Dear R-help, I have used the regsubsets function from the leaps package to do subset selection of a logistic regression model with 6 independent variables and all possible ^2 interactions. As I want to get information about the statistics behind the selection output, I?ve intensively searched the mailing list to find answers to following questions: 1. What should I do to get the statistics

Hi, I'm using regsubsets and it works fine when nvmax = 4. However when I go for any value above 4, I get the error: Warning message: XHAUST returned error code -999 in: leaps.exhaustive(a, really.big = really.big) I'm calling regsubsets as: lp <- regsubsets(x,y,nbest=1,nvmax=5,intercept=T,really.big=T, method="exhaustive") x is a data.frame with 40 variables and 277

Hello, I have encountered a problem which may be arising from details of my data and or the statistics I am trying to do, or may be arising due to the way leaps works internally. Unfortunately, I am not yet savvy enough to tell why. I can say that this statement works (or at least works to the degree I expect): b <- regsubsets(FUND~.,data=all, intercept=TRUE, nbest=1, nvmax=8, really.big=T,

Hello I am trying to use all subsets regression on a test dataset consisting of 11 trails and 46 potential predictor variables. I would like to use Mallow's Cp as a selection criterion. The leaps function would provide the required output but does not work with this many variables (see below). The alternative function regsubsets should be used, but I am not able to define the function in

Dear R-helpers, I am trying to do a stepwise procedure in which I want to force some variables in the model. I have searched around and it seems that only leaps package allows to force the variable in the stepwise procedure. I use the leaps package and use the regsubsets(lm1, force.in = 1, data) to force 1 variable in the model. However, the force.in command only allow me to force 1 variable

Hi, I'd like to run regsubsets for model selection by exhaustive search. I have a list with 20 potential explanatory variables, which represent the real and the imaginary parts of 10 "kinds" of complex numbers: x <- list(r1=r1, r2=r2, r3=r3, ..., r10=r10, i1=i1, i2=i2, i3=i3, ..., i10=i10) Is there an easy way to constrain the model search so that "r"s and

I would like to run a loop in R. I have never done this before, so I would be very grateful for your help ! 1. I have a sample set: 25 objects. I would like to draw 1 object from it and use it as a test set for my future external validation. The remaining 24 objects I would like to use as a training set (to select a model). I would like to repeat this process until all 25 objects are used as a
