Dear all, Has anyone written functions to compute (and ideally project / plot onto a plane) confidence ellipsoids for q linear model parameters, q > 2 ?

Please, forgive my ignorance on statistics, but I have a rather simple question concerning AIC. Small values of AIC mean good fit of the model. How about negative values of AIC? Is a model with AIC=0.5 considered to have better fit than a model with AIC=-500? I couldn't find anything explaining this in the documentation or any elementary statistics textbook that I have at my disposal. Thanks

Sorry if this is obvious, but my S skills aren't great and I haven't been able to find it documented anywhere. I want to write a new function for use with lme objects; the function will simply calculate an ICC (aka "rho") for each level of a mixed-effects model. What I need for this is pretty simple: (c(var1..varn, residual)) / sum(c(var1..varn, residual)) where var1..varn

I have a number of plots that I'm trying to do using the lattice package, unfortunately, they involve Posix values. A small sample of the data is as follows: Time TC.1 <Snipped> 1 2003-04-24 13:29:15 26.61 2 2003-04-24 13:29:30 26.48 3 2003-04-24 13:30:00 26.53 4 2003-04-24 13:30:30 27.85 <Snipped> where str(data) `data.frame': 415 obs. of

I've put up a build of the current R-patched (and updated recommended packages) for Windows at http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/RWin/Rpre/SetupRpatched.exe This should be able to rename files on Win 9x (unlike the mid-May build) and can build packages accessing Rblas.dll. As ever, this is less tested than an official release, in particular only on Windows XP, but ought to have fewer

Dear all, 1. How can I compute the intersecting area between 2 polygons ? 2. I have polygons with coordinates in decimal degrees (i.e. 13 deg 30 min = 13.5 decimal degrees). I want to compute their area and get the results in square meters or square kiometers. Can anyone give me a conversion coefficient or a pointer where I can find this information (sorry for this off topic question) ? Thanks

I've been using par() to check the graphics parameters associated with both plot(<fitted linear model>) and plot(<grouped data object>). AFAIK the only differences are in the $cxy, $usr, $xaxp, and $yaxp parameters but the background color for the grouped data plot is grey while the linear model plot has a white background. When I've tried par(bg = "white") prior to

Hello R-users, I'm using the boot's library. I have two questions: 1. I execute for example data<-rnorm(100) boot(data,mean,500) and I obtain 500 equal bootstrap samples of data. Why? 2. I need to calculate the bootstrap confidence intervals for a statistic, but when I use the function boot.ci it shows the error message: Error in if

Dear all, I have computed a digital terrain model from a set of points (x, y, z) using the function interp() in package akima. I want to predict flooded surfaces given target values of z. I can display the flooded surfaces with contour() or image(), but I don't know how to get the polygons delimiting the surfaces. Did anyone write a function for this purpose ? Best regards, Renaud --

hi, during a for(i in 1:xx]) loop I always newly calculate a vector (e.g. tmp<-c(a,b,c,d,e) ) now i need that vector to be attached at the bootom of a matrix (or data.frame). e.g. m<-matrix() for(i in 1:5]){ #some calculations for a,b,c,d,e a<- ... b<- ... c<- .. .... tmp<-c(a,b,c,d,e) ??? now I need to attach this tmp to the matrix m ??? } i couldn't get rbind

I'm having problems copying and saving lattice graphs using R-1.4.0 under Win2k. It seems I've see this alluded to recently in R-help. If I do the following example: > data(quakes) > xyplot(long ~ lat , data = quakes) And then try to copy or save the graph as either a metafile or bitmap or if I use any of the bitmap/metafile devices via (for example) >

Dear R-Helpers, Is there a way to draw shaded (filled) polygons in panel graphs produced by xyplot ? I made different trials (see below) with polygon() and grid.polygon() but polygons are not drawn (probably for the same reason that prevents the use of lines, points, etc. in xyplot panels).

Hi, I'd like to plot 4 groups of data using xyplot and panel.superpose so that the points are overlayed on a single plot. For each group of data I'd also like a loess smoothed function (using panel.loess). I have tried the following: xyplot(series ~ time | gr, data=etable, panel = function(x,y, ...) { panel.superpose(x,y, ...) panel.loess(x,y,span=.15)

Hi all, Here's a curosity I ran into since upgrading to 1.6.2 (precompiled for Windows). When using the chm help I get the following warning. I saw a recent post regarding this as a new warning (``dyn.load warning message in R1.6.2 on Windows XP'' dated 1/28/03), but not in the context of the help system. The warning only appears once and does not prevent the chm file from
