similar to: default for 'signif.stars'

I read through the editorial. This is the one of the most mega-ultra-super-biased articles I've ever read. e.g. The authors encourage Baysian methods, and literally encourage subjective approaches. However, there's only one reference to robust methods and one reference to nonparametric methods, both of which are labelled as purely exploratory methods, which I regard as extremely

Hi Martin, I take your point - but I'd argue that significance stars are a clumsy solution to the very real problem that you outline, and their inclusion as a default sends a signal about their appropriateness that I would prefer R not to endorse. My preference (to the extent that it matters) would be to see the significance stars be an option but not a default one, and the addition of

printCoefmat(signif.legend =FALSE) does not work properly. The option "signif.legend = FALSE" is ignored as shown in the example below. cmat <- cbind(rnorm(3, 10), sqrt(rchisq(3, 12))) cmat <- cbind(cmat, cmat[,1]/cmat[,2]) cmat <- cbind(cmat, 2*pnorm(-cmat[,3])) colnames(cmat) <- c("Estimate", "Std.Err", "Z value", "Pr(>z)") #

OK. I give up. I'll ask a stupid question. How do I get the $!#@*$ signif stars line printed by summaries to not look extremely bizarre in the latex produced by Sweave? For example, see p. 7 of http://www.stat.umn.edu/geyer/aster/library/aster/doc/tutor.pdf I can see what the problem is. R emits non-ascii characters (as it is supposed to do), Sweave puts them in the tex file, and

Dear all, I agree with both Russ and Terry that the significance stars option should default to FALSE. Here's what Sandy Weisberg and I say about significance starts in the current edition of the R Companion to Applied Regression: 'If you find the ?statistical-significance? asterisks that R prints to the right of the p-values annoying, as we do, you can suppress them, as we will in the

Today's GNU R tutorial in http://how-to.linuxcareer.com/a-quick-gnu-r-tutorial-to-statistical-models-and-graphics points out how bad statistical practice is being further perpetuated, by virtue of "significance stars" still being the default in printed output from lm models. ----- Frank Harrell Department of Biostatistics, Vanderbilt University -- View this message in context:

The addition of significant stars was, in my opinion, one of the worst defaults ever added to R.?? I would be delighted to see it removed, or at least change the default.? It is one of the few overrides that I have argued to add to our site-wide defaults file. My bias comes from 30+ years in a medical statistics career where fighting the disease of "dichotomania" has been an eternal

My question is about the "Signif. codes" , the output when I run matcoef =cbind(fit$par, se.coef,tval,2*(1-pnorm(abs(tval)))) dimnames(matcoef)=list(names(tval),c("Estimate","Std.Error","t value","pr(>|t|)")) cat("\nCoefficient(s):\n") printCoefmat(matcoef, digits=4, signif.stars = TRUE) Coefficient(s): Estimate

I think your idea to remove the warnings is excellent, and a good compromise. Characters already work fine in modeling functions except for the silly warning. It is interesting how often the defaults for a program reflect the data sets in use at the time the defaults were chosen. There are some such in my own survival package whose proper value is no longer as "obvious" as it was

Dear list, I'm trying to write a class for Gaussian error propagation of measured values and their (estimated) errors, > setClass("sec", representation(val="numeric", err="numeric")) I've already successfully implemented basic arithmetics using mostly the "Arith" group generics. But I'm running into trouble when trying to get signif() to

PROBLEM `signif' does change to scientic notation at different levels depending on the number of significant digits in the input. This can generate tables where figures change ``irregularly'' from normal to scientific notation. PROPOSAL The change to the scientific notation should be made only if the figure in scientific notation - with potentially as

Hi all, Does anyone know a way to change the significant stars in mtable (package memisc)? The default is Signif. codes: 0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1, however I need it to be Signif. codes: 0 '***' 0.01 '**' 0.05 '*' 0.1 ' ' 1 Kind regards, Erich [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

signif(.) is a <primitive> function. Unfortunately, I couldn't even find WHERE in the source, signif(.) is defined. Here are the symptoms: xmin <- .Machine $ double.xmin signif(xmin,3) #--> NA umach <- unlist(.Machine)[paste("double.x", c("min","max"), sep='')] for(dig in 1:10) {cat("dig=",dig,": ");

Hi, I recently spent quite a bit of time trouble shooting a function that I had written only to discover that the problem I was having was with the comparison operator. I assumed that the following would return TRUE: > testMean <- 82.8 + 0.1 > testMean [1] 82.9 > testMean == 82.9 [1] FALSE Apparently this has to do with deciml places. Look: > newTest <- 82.0 > newTest [1]

Dear R experts, I am posting this question on behalf of a Japanese R user who wants to know how to change the siginificant codes default. As you know, R's default significant codes are: Signif. codes: 0 `***' 0.001 `**' 0.01 `*' 0.05 `.' 0.1 ` ' 1 But he says that it is usual in economics to give codes such as `***' for 0.01, `**' for 0.05 and `*' for

Hi! I have a dataset with three columns -the first two refer to x and y coordinates, the last one are odds ratios. I'd like to plot the data with x and y coordinates and the odds ratio shown as a fourfold plot, which I prefer to do using the stars function. Unfortunately the stars option in symbols is not as cool as the stars function on its own, and now i can't figure out how to do it!

Hi I don't know if you can help. I am a 2nd year Bsc Cosmetic Science student and in R I need some help in drawing stars. The problem that I have is I want to recreate a radar diagram similar to the one in excel. I have put in these commands in a script window: stars(shampoo1[, 1:6], locations = c(0,0), radius = TRUE, key.loc=c(0,0), main = "Ranked Results for the Sensory
