Full_Name: Ulrike Gr?mping Version: 2.3.0 OS: Windows Submission from: (NULL) (84.190.150.205) Whenever any observations are excluded from a regression analysis (lm, glm, and other similar procedures) because of missing values, I would find it very useful if this fact is directly visible from the output. I think that the information should not only be available (I can e.g. look at length of the

Dear helpeRs, on my new machine - Windows 7 64Bit, R 2.15-2, I can no longer source files for which the path contains the o-Umlaut (?). As a historical burden, my username is Gr?mping and contains that Umlaut (I wouldn't have chosen it now, but decided to keep it for easy transfer). I have had the difficulty that I couldn't use the R CMD tools on files with Umlauts in the path (and

Dear R-helpers, I have a question regarding LU-decomposition with function lu in package Matrix. The following simple example confuses me: Why is as.matrix(elu$U) not an upper triangular matrix? u3 <- matrix(c(1,1,1,1,1,1,-1,1,0,0,0,0,0,-1,1,0,0,0,-1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,-1,1,0,0),5,6,byrow=T) elu <- expand(lu(Matrix(u3,sparse=F))) as.matrix(elu$U) I only have very limited experience with the

Dear R experts, I have defined a class "myclass" and would like the slots to be extractable not only by "@" but also by "$". I now try to write a method for "$" that simply executes the request object at slotname, whenever someone calls object$slotname for any object of class "myclass". I don't manage to find out how I can provide this

Full_Name: Ulrike Gr?mping Version: 2.2.1 OS: Windows Submission from: (NULL) (84.190.139.94) A wish somehow related to my wish 8658: Package foreign allows to import categorical data from SPSS (and possibly other software) using the original codes, which are often useful for data manipulation, since one can use already available lists of codes from others who don't use R etc. The original

Dear userRs, Version 2.0 of package relaimpo is on CRAN (and on my homepage with an additional metric for non-US users). It contains several major improvements: - usage of factors - incorporation of interactions (for metric lmg only) - incorporation of observation weights - application to data from complex surveys - processing of multiply imputed data The latter two points are somewhat

Full_Name: Ulrike Gr?mping Version: 2.2.1 OS: Windows Submission from: (NULL) (84.190.139.94) When importing data from SPSS, it is a nice feature of the package foreign that it allows (option use.value.labels=F) to work with the original SPSS codes while keeping the value labels as information in an attribute. Unfortunately, after merging or subsetting, these attributes disappear. The code

Has anyone implemented Tibrishani's gap statistic in R or S plus? If so I would greatly appreciate the relevant script file.

Dear List I am looking for a script that will calculate the Box M test to test the homogeneity of the variance/covariance matrix between two matrices. If anyone could send me the script I would appreciate it. I am aware of the scepticism about this test, where due to extreme sensitivity a p value of 0.01 is recommended. Despite this however Box's M test is the established

Is there a function available in R that implements Mojena's Upper Tail Rule or that draws a Mojena plot? I would also like to find a function that implements Duda and Hart's stopping rule. Finally with function cophenet how can I achieve a straightforward Cophenet correlation coefficient (i.e. one number for example 0.876) that gives the agreement between the structure of the

I have two data frames with a number of common variables that I wish to put into "long format". The first contains the variables es(Csales) [1] "terr" "Dec.02" "Jan.03" "Feb.03" "Mar.03" "Apr.03" "May.03" "Jun.03" [9] "Jul.03" "Aug.03" "Sep.03" "Oct.03"

I have a set of data that consists of a number of biological measurements. The columns are Time that runs from 01/01/2005 to 01/5/2007, Group which has 23 levels and postcode which is nested within group. This is a balanced panel but the number of postcodes differs within groups, from 15 to 400. The rest of this data consists of a number of columns of quantitative measures, largely counts.

Does any package available in R contain the V-fold cross-validation method for determining the right number of clusters?

Dear all, we received a bug report for betareg, that in some cases the optim call in betareg.fit would hang the R session and the command cannot be interrupted by Ctrl-C? We narrowed down the problem to the dbeta function which is used for the log likelihood evaluation in betareg.fit. Particularly, the following command hangs the R session to a 100% CPU usage in all systems we tried it (OS X

I was pleased to find integrate() using the quadpack routines "dqags" and "dqagi". However, I would also like to have the routine "dqawoe" included. This routine is summarized as follows... c***keywords automatic integrator, special-purpose, c integrand with oscillatory cos or sin factor, c clenshaw-curtis method, (end point) singularities,

Dear R-developers, the following may seem a weird question for R-devel – I try anyway, because it does seem to be related to usage of R and R's way of interacting with the hardware. When running R (2.4.0) on my new dual core Windows XP system (Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, Mainboard ASUS P5B, BeQuiet Power Unit), I observe various types of sounds (not related to fans) when running at full
