similar to: glm Argument-Evaluation Does Not Match Documentation.

G'day all, I had a look at the GLM code of R (1.4.1) and I believe that there are problems with the function "glm.fit" that may bite in rare circumstances. Note, I have no data set with which I ran into trouble. This report is solely based on having a look at the code. Below I append a listing of the glm.fit function as produced by my system. I have added line numbers so that I

Bug summary: glm() causes a segfault if the argument 'data' is a data frame with more than 16384 rows. Bug demonstration: -------input --------------- N <- 16400 df <- data.frame(x=runif(N, min=1,max=2),y=rpois(N, 2)) glm(y ~ x, family=poisson, data=df) ------ output --------------- *** caught segfault *** address (nil),

Hi, Currently the `gaussian' family's initialization code signals an error if any response data are zero or negative and a log link is used. Given that zero or negative response data are perfectly legitimate under the GLM fitted using `gaussian("log")', this seems a bit unsatisfactory. Might it be worth changing it? The current offending code from `gaussian' is:

Yes, that will halve the number of multiplications. If you?re looking for such optimisations then you can also consider ifelse(G=='male', 65L, 58L). That will definitely use less time & memory if WC is integer, but the trade-offs are more complicated if WC is floating point. Regards, Jorgen Harmse.

I appreciate the compliment from Ivan and still share the puzzlement at the empty return. What is the policy for changing something that is wrong? There is a trade-off between breaking old code that worked around a problem and breaking new code written by people who make reasonable assumptions. Mathematically, it seems obvious to me that duplicated.matrix(A) should do something like this: v

I encountered a segfault running glm() and wonder if it could have something to do with the way memory is handled in a dual core system (which I just set up). I'm running R-base-2.4.0-1, installed from the SuSE 10.1 x86_64 rpm (obtained from CRAN). (My processor is an AMD Athlon 64 x2 4800+). The error and traceback are *** caught segfault *** address 0x8001326f2b, cause 'memory not

Avi: Thank you for checking. I think the optimization is limited. If test is all TRUE or all FALSE then at most one vector is evaluated. Anything beyond that would be very complicated. (Inspect the two expressions and verify that both specify elementwise computations. Then use indexing to shrink the input properly. Take into account all recycling rules for binary operations.) > ifelse(0:1,

Dear List, I'm trying to create a formula method, allowing for a "special" character in the formula (i.e., similar to for example the gam package with the character "s" in y ~ s(x)). I've checked and it seems this is done through attr(,"specials"). However, the section of code below (as an example extracted from the gam package) gives me an error as shown at

Just a minor point in the suggested solution: df$LAP <- with(df, ifelse(G=='male', (WC-65)*TG, (WC-58)*TG)) since WC and TG are not conditional, would this be a slight improvement? df$LAP <- with(df, TG*(WC - ifelse(G=='male', 65, 58))) -----Original Message----- From: R-help <r-help-bounces at r-project.org> On Behalf Of Jorgen Harmse via R-help Sent: Friday,

Hi everyone: I am just wondering how can I use weights with MCMClogit function (in MCMCpack package). For example, in case of glm function as given below, there is weights option in the arguments. Aparently there is no option of using weights in MCMClogit. glm(formula, family = gaussian, data, weights, subset, na.action, start = NULL, etastart, mustart, offset, control =

df$LAP <- with(df, ifelse(G=='male', (WC-65)*TG, (WC-58)*TG)) That will do both calculations and merge the two vectors appropriately. It will use extra memory, but it should be much faster than a 'for' loop. Regards, Jorgen Harmse. ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Fri, 3 Nov 2023 11:10:49 +1030 From: "Md.

Hello R Users, I am having difficulty deleting the last warning message in a loop so that the only warning that is produced is that from the most recent line of code. I have tried options(warn=1), rm(last.warning), and resetting the last.warning using something like: > warning("Resetting warning message") This problem has been addressed in a previous listserve string,

I have a source file with oxygen-style comments (and description & licence files), and I?m trying to build a package. oxygen & devtools seem to work, and the tarball exists, but install.packages balks.

I am trying to fit the generalised linear model for the negative binomial, but the results which come out are attached below. When we fit this model using few covariates, the model converge. Does it mean that this family is fitted differently from other glm? or the number of zeros in my response variable has a limiting factor?

Hello, Suppose one is interested in fitting a GLM with a log link to binomial data. How does R choose starting values for the estimation procedure? Assuming I don't supply them. Thanks, Tyler

With all this discussion, I shudder to ask this. I may have missed the answers but the discussion seems to have been about identifying and solving the problem rapidly rather than what maybe is best going forward if all parties agree. What was the motivation for what RSTUDIO did for their version and the decision to replace what came with utils unless someone very explicitly over-rode them by
