similar to: Quantiles of sums of independent discrete random variables

Greetings, I have the following? Problem: Given k (=10) discrete independent random variables X_i with n_i (= 5 to 20) values each,compute quantiles of the distribution of the sum X = X_1+...+X_k. Here X has n=n_1 x n_2 ... n_k distinct values which is too large to list them all together with their probabilities. I tried several approaches: (A) Convolution: each X_j is approximated with

To add to the wish-list for "convolve": For modeling processes that decay exponentially in time, e.g., fluorescence, it is desirable to have a function that convolves an arbitrary vector with an exponential using an iterative method. In the TIMP package (which won't be on CRAN till R 2.5.0 is official, but is for now at www.nat.vu.nl/~kate/TIMP) we implemented this special-purpose

I have been experimenting with convolve(). What I know about convolution I learned from engineering (they call this stuff linear systems theory), not statistics, so maybe this is all just a matter of different conventions. BUT I notice very weird things with convolve(). 1. First example, from the classic Bracewell The Fourier transform and its applications, chap 3 (p.32 in 2nd edition): {2 2 3 3

Hi, I'm new to R, and I'm a bit confused with the "convolve()" function. If I do: x<-c(1, 2, 3) convolve(x, rev(x), TRUE, "open") = 9 12 10 4 1 But I expected: 3 8 14 8 3 (like in Octave/MATLAB - conv(x, reverse(x)) ) 3 2 1 x 1 2 3 = 3 2 1 0 6 4 2 0 0 9 6 3 = 3 8 14 8 3 The thing is, that "convolve(x, x, TRUE, "open")" works. For me

We obtained some disturbing results from convolve() (inaccuracies and negative probabilities). We'll try to make the context clear in as few lines as possible... Our function panjer() (code below) basically computes recursively the probability mass function of a compound Poisson distribution. When the Poisson parameter lambda is very large, the starting value of the recursive scheme ---

Hi, Man page for 'convolve' says: conj: logical; if 'TRUE', take the complex _conjugate_ before back-transforming (default, and used for usual convolution). The complex conjugate of 'x', of 'y', of both? In fact it seems that it takes the complex conjugate of 'y' only which is OK but might be worth mentioning because (1) conj=TRUE is the

Full_Name: Bill Simpson Version: 65.1 , 0.90.1 OS: Linux Submission from: (NULL) (193.62.250.209) I reported this on r-help, but here is official bug report. The present convolve() does not do convolution by default. Its default behaviour is correlation. This is a bug. The default argument conj should be set to FALSE. The zero-padding should be on the right for linear convolution (don't

Dear R People: Here is something that I am sure is very simple. I'm just trying to re-create the C convolution example in the Extensions manual. Here is the subroutine: void convolve(double *a, int *na, double *b, int *nb, double *ab) { R_len_t i, j, nab = *na + *nb - 1; for(i = 0; i < nab; i++) ab[i] = 0.0; for(i = 0; i < *na; i++) for(j = 0; j < *nb; j++) ab[i + j] += a[i] *

Dear all, I have an image that I need to filter, and so I'm looking for a method to convolve it with a matrix. If I understood the docs for convolve correctly, it only works in 1D (and I have tried to convolve, it didn't look good). So, I wondered if anybody have implemented 2D convolution in R, or have any good advices to share (beyond having a look at mvfft), before I go hacking?

I would like to code the following in R: a1(b1+b2+b3) + a2(b1+b3+b4) + a3(b1+b2+b4) + a4(b1+b2+b3) or in summation notation: sum_{i=1, j\neq i}^{4} a_i * b_i I realise this is the same as: sum_{i=1, j=1}^{4} a_i * b_i - sum_{i=j} a_i * b_i would appreciate some help.

Dear R-ophiles, I've found something very odd when I apply convolve to ever larger vectors. Here is an example below with vectors ranging from 2^11 to 2^17. There is a funny bump up at 2^12. Then it gets very slow at 2^16. > for( i in 11:20 )print( system.time(convolve(1:2^i,1:2^i,type="o"))) user system elapsed 0.002 0.000 0.002 user system elapsed 0.373

I want to generate the following outcome using convolution of two sequences. x <- c(1,2,3,4,5) y <- c(6,7,8,9) The resulting convolution vector is 6 19 40 70 100 94 76 45 When using convolve(), it is hard to produce the result above. Would you help me out to get that? Best regards Moohwan Kim

Dear R-Helpers, I want to try the 2D (two-dimensional) convolution in R. For example, let us we have the following kernel and data. kernel <- (1,2,3,2,1) data <- array(1:100, dim=c(10,10)) I know the function 'convolve' only for one-dimensional convolution, but it is just for a 1D sequence. Is there any function for 2D convolution? For theory, please refer to the following link:

Hi I have made a R function 'convolve2' for convolution of two real valued vectors based on Rs 'convolve' with option type="open" - see below. (exp.length and irf.length are variables set in another part of the program) I wish to implement the function convolve2 in C and use it in a function used from R with .Call - e.g. I need to call fft in C. All I can find in the

As the request for the Savitzky-Golay Algorithm in R has come up several times, I here include my implementation based on code written for Matlab. Savitzky-Golay uses the pseudo-inverse pinv() of a matrix. There is an 'generalized inverse' ginv() in the MASS package, but I use a simpler form because I didn't want to 'require' MASS any time I apply Savitzky-Golay.

...as promised. This describes the mdct used in my d.m.l patch. I think it is the same as the Lee fast-dct. I typed it in a kind of pseudo-TeX, 'cause the ascii art would kill me. Hope you can read TeX source; if not, ask someone who can to make a .ps/.gif/.whatever of the TeX output, and put it on a webpage or something. I'm to lazy to do it (and besides, I don't have access to TeX,

Dear R users, I want to call C code via the .C or .Call interface. This works fine with integer values but using doubles the array received in C will be set to zeros. I have tried the convolve examples (Writing R extensions, chapter 5.2) and still the resulting array consists of zeros. My code (shortened for my purposes. Original did not work either):
