I would like to fit a hierarchical regression model from Witte et al. (1994; see reference below). It's a logistic regression of a health outcome on quntities of food intake; the linear predictor has the form, X*beta + W*gamma, where X is a matrix of consumption of 82 foods (i.e., the rows of X represent people in the study, the columns represent different foods, and X_ij is the amount of

[Re-sending ...] I would like to ask why upstream and CentOS provide no compat-openssl packages like Novell does in SUSE. We are trying to install binaries for gLite (a huge toolkit for grid computing linked against upstream v4 libraries) on CentOS 5. I was under the impression that this would be possible because v5 is "binary-compatible" with v4. But it seems this "binary

Dear All, I have spatial data (presence/absence for 4000 squares) on 250 bird species and would like to use a model-based clustering technique to test for species associations. Is there any way of passing a distance/correlation matrix to mclust as with hclust, rather than the actual data? Or alternatively, is there a way of getting mclust to handle binary data? I'd appreciate any

Just cycled past The Fort. It's very busy because there's a fair on the common. Any plan B in case it's still full later?

I see it's been in the wishlist a while. Any possible timeframe for getting it working, or maybe a patch (or is it too big a change) to support it? I'm building a new server to move an existing userbase to. So far I have working: Postfix (with Maildir quota patches that work fine) Amavis-new with ClamAV scanning for viruses (will add SpamAssassin soon) SquirrelMail IMP (Horde)

Dear R-helpers, I have run the code below which I expected to make an object called dd1, but that object does not exist. So, in summary, my problem is that my function is meant to make an object (dd1), and it does indeed make that object (I know that the last line of the function prints it out) but then, after the function has run, the object has disappeared. It's late on a Friday so I may

Hi, I am having problems trying to assess the significance of random terms in a generalized linear mixed model using lme4 package. The model describes bird species richness R along roads (offset by log length of road log_length) as a function of fixed effects Shrub (%shrub cover) and Width (width of road), and random effect Site (nested within Site Cluster). >From reading answers to previous

Hello! I'm a college undergrad desperately trying to finish up my thesis. I have a dataset on the distribution of a grassland bird from the Breeding Bird Survey. I have a very straightforward and simple version of the logistic growth model to describe changes in this bird's abundance over time. The variables are the natural birth rate, mortality, and carrying capacity. The equation itself

Dear Community, I have a data set with two columns, bird number and mass. Individual birds were captured 1-13 times and weighed each time. I would like to remove those individuals that were captured only once, so that I can assess mass variability per bird. I¹ve tried many approaches with no success. Can anyone recommend a way to remove individuals that were captured only once? Thanks, Ray

Hello List, I am trying to implement a hierarchical cluster using the hclust method agglomerative single linkage method with a small wrinkle. I would like to cluster a set of numbers on a number line only if they are within a distance of 500. I would then like to print out the members of this list. So far I can put a vector: > x<-c(2,10,200,300,600,700) into a distance matrix: >

We don't have enough arguments here.... <g> I see that thunderbird's deprecated for RHEL 7, and they recommend evolution. I've certainly had some annoyances in the last couple-three years with t-bird. So, what are people's preferred mail tools, other than t-bird (or maybe mutt or pine.... <g>)? mark

The NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science is hiring a Computational Ecologist, a statistical/computational ecologist with experience fitting advanced spatial models to marine wildlife survey data (e.g., seabirds and marine mammal transects, fisheries trawl surveys) in R and other statistical languages. This is a full-time, long-term stable contract position. We are looking for an

Dear List, I want to compare the presence and absence of bird species based on the sites in a matrix. The matrix has 5 rows for Island A, B, C, D, and E. It has 100 columns for bird species D001-D100. In each cell of the matrix, the presence-absence of bird species will be recorded as 1 or 0. (For example, if species D001 is found on Island D, the matrix cell of species D001 and Island D

Hi all, I'm currently working through the "Beginner's Guide to R" (Zurr et al.) and I'm wondering about the first exercise in chapter 3: I imported the data from BirdFluCases.txt and executed the 'names' and 'str' functions as follows: Bird = read.table(file='C:\\rbook\\BirdFluCases2.txt', header=TRUE) names(Bird) [1] "Year"

Dear R-experts, I have a table with following collumns: State, SamplePlot, Species and BodySize. I sampled bird species at 34 SamplePlots and 5 States (regions) monthly during two years. On each bird record I measured bodysize and identified the species. So I have many records of each species (about 150 species) at each SamplePlot and each Region (State). Now I would like bootstrap

Hello, I'm now dealing with funny problem. I try to use Dovecot (2.1.rc1, actually) and mbox format to store old mailing, to keep logic of "one folder = one file". If I'd choose Maildir, I'd be able to create hierarchical folders (like "OldMail -> Maillists -> Dovecot"), and in fact on disk such a folders would be stored as real folders with dots in

I saw the latest update announcements on the announce list, so I ran "yum check-update" and did not see seamonkey in the list. Which I guess makes sense, since it's a name change from mozilla. However, devhelp is in the list, and "yum update devhelp" pulls in seamonkey as a dependency. This seems like a sort of backdoor way to get seamonkey onto the system. Did these

Dear Timo, Would there be any sense in giving Dovecot the option to split folders into multiple subfolders when they reached a specified size (probably message count) limit? Dovecot would monitor folders and when they reached, say, 10,000 messages, silently split the folder on the filesystem to ensure that access remains fast. I know that Dovecot scales very well but this would give

I'm trying to test a method of identifying individuals (birds) based on measured data (their calls). I have test data from known individual birds, and I am using the Mclust package to see if the program can correctly identify which calls come from different birds. So far, mclust has correctly ID'd the number of birds in the test data set (i.e., the correct # of clusters). However I
