I have a server running samba-3.0.9-1.3E.10. And I'm trying to update that so I can now add windows 7 pcs to my network. The server is a Dell Poweredge 2850 running Red Hat Enterprise Linux EX release 3 (taroon update 8). It's also running Webmin version 1.580. I wanted to download the update as an .rmp thinking it would be easier and I would be able to run it from my webmin command

Hello! If I understand this listserve correctly, I can email this address to get help when I am struggling with code. If this is inaccurate, please let me know, and I will unsubscribe. I have been struggling with the same error message for a while, and I can't seem to get past it. Here is the issue: I am using a data set that uses -1:-9 to indicate various kinds of missing data. I changed

Dear All, My question is more a statistical question than a R question. The reason I am posting here is that there are lots of excellent statistician on this list, who can always give me good advices. Per my understanding, the purpose of propensity score is to reduce the bias while estimating the treatment effect and its implementation is a 2-stage model. 1) First of all, if we assume that T =

There may be benefits to having a machine learning method that explicitly targets covariate balance. We have experimented with optimizing the weights directly to obtain the best covariate balance, but got some strange solutions for simple cases that made us wary of such methods. Machine learning methods that yield calibrated probability estimates should do well (e.g. those that optimize the

Hi. I am using the Matching package for propensity score matching. For each treated unit, I want to find all control units whose propensity scores lie within a certain distance from the treated unit. The sample code is as follows: > library(Matching) > x <- rnorm(100000) > y <- rnorm(100000) > z <- rbinom(100000,1,0.002) > logit.reg <-

Hi all, i am looking to built a simple example of a very basic propensity score adjustment, just using the estimated propensity scores as inverse probability weights (respectively 1-estimated weights for the non-treated). As far as i understood, MLE predictions of a logit model can directly be used as to estimates of the propensity score. I already considered the twang package and the

Typically, RPM's from RedHat or Fedora are pretty dependent on glibc and other system libraries. Newer version of RedHat will have newer versions of glibc, so the official packages are often not compatible with older versions. Sernet may have precompiled RPM's that may be useful. http://sernet.de/en/samba/samba-3/ If not you will probably need to compile from source. Or move to a

Dear R-list, i have 6 different sets of samples. Each sample has about 5000 observations, with each observation comprised of 150 baseline covariates (X), 125 of which are dichotomous. Roughly 20% of the observations in each sample are "treatment" and the rest are "control" units. i am doing propensity score matching, i have already estimated propensity scores(predicted

Hi, I am having trouble debugging this one. The code is attached below, but it seems to be a problem at the C-tk interface. If I run this 1 time there are no problems if I run it more than once I start to get warnings that increase in multiples of 11 everytime I run it. Here is a sample session > source("clrramp2.r") Loading required package: tcltk Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done

I'm using the "Match" package to do propensity score matching. Here's some example code that shows the problem that I'm having (much of this code is taken from the Match package documentation): *data(lalonde) glm1 <- glm(treat~age + I(age^2) + educ + I(educ^2) + black + hisp + married + nodegr + re74 + I(re74^2) + re75 + I(re75^2) + u74 + u75,

Hello! In the Samba network! How can I install Samba 2.2.8a? I have two different SuSE Distributions SuSE 7.2 professional and SuSE 8.1 professional The following files are in the Folder "/home/samba" For SuSE 8.1 professional libsmbclient-2.2.8a-34.i586.rpm libsmbclient-devel-2.2.8a-34.i586.rpm samba-2.2.8a-34.i586.rpm samba-client-2.2.8a-34.i586.rpm samba-doc-2.2.8a-34.i586.rpm

I have to the treatment effect base on the observational data.And the treatment variable is multinomial rather than binary.Because the treatment assignment is not random,so the selection-bias exists.Under this condition,what's the best way to estimate the treatment effect? I know that if the treatment is binary,I can use propensity score matching using MatchIt package.But what about

Dear All, I would like to find something ( references, code,..) to implement a comparison of three treatments in an observational study using the 'Propensity Score'. Any help is much appreciated.

Dear list, I am trying to set up a propensity-weighted regression using the survey package. Most of my population is sampled with a sampling probability of one (that is, I have the full population). However, for a subset of the data I have only a 50% sample of the full population. In previous work on the data, I analyzed these data using SAS and STATA. In those packages I used a propensity weight

The Toolkit for Weighting and Analysis of Nonequivalent Groups (twang 1.0) has been released to CRAN. The package collects functions useful for computing propensity score weights for treatment effect estimation, developing nonresponse weights, and diagnosing the quality of those weights. The package includes a vignette containing some basic theory and walks through two examples. It is available by

Dear List, I am having difficulty running the ps() function when variables are stored as factors and was hoping someone could provide some advice on how to proceed. I am running propensity score matching as outlined in: Greg Ridgeway, Dan McCarey, Andrew Morral, Lane Burgette and Beth Ann Grin (May 3, 2013) Toolkit for Weighting and Analysis of Nonequivalent Groups: A tutorial for the twang

"Matching" version 0.48 is now available on CRAN. Matching provides functions for estimating causal effects by multivariate and propensity score matching. The package includes a variety of univariate and multivariate tests to determine if balance has been obtained by the matching procedure. These tests can also be used to determine if an experiment or quasi-experiment is balanced on

Hi all, i am wondering if there?s any other method to adjust for selection related bias of estimates except propensity scoring and heckit / mills ratio approach? i also read documentation of Match and twang package so far, so i don?t speak of any ATE / ATT related methods, respectively any methods that match or stratify... Is there something else ? thx in advance
