Using R 1.8.1, and the negative binomial glm implemented in MASS, the default when using anova and a chi-square test is to divide the deviance by the estimated dispersion. Using my UNIX version of S-plus (v 3.4), and the same MASS functions, the deviances are *not* divided by the estimated dispersion. Firstly, I'm wondering if anyone can enlighten about the correct procedure (I thought

Is there a way a function ('parent', say) can manipulate the ... argument, and then pass the manipulated value into another function ('child', say) that it calls? What I'm trying to do is to use some plotting defaults within 'parent' that are not part of parent's argument list, but to let the use over- ride these defaults if they choose. A sketch is below.

Hi. I'm not having any luck installing the binary for the new Macintosh OS called "Tiger". I get error messages as below. Can anyone offer me some advice? (PS: I checked the bug list first but a search on "Tiger" turned up nothing so I hope it's OK to post here.) Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared

I've been using (and loving) R for quite a while now, but I have to admit that something simple is still stumping me. The question is how I can control the box within which a plot is drawn, in cases where I'm controlling the aspect ratio with the "asp" argument. The problem comes up in pdf() and png() output formats, but also with interactive windows, and so I'll

I believe there is a problem with the openbsd-compat/bsd-arc4random.c file. If arc4random () is called without seed_rng having previously been called (eg if you run ssh-keygen -p ) then it does not in fact invoke seed_rng () if it is the first time. Instead it will invoke seed_rng every time BUT the first time. At least that is the way I read the code, and changing it as below allowed me to

Hello friends. I've just switched from linux to osx, and I'm liking it, except now that I'm getting down to brass tacks, and needing to install some R packages, I'm at a roadblock. I'm hoping someone can help. My R is installed from a .dmg, and resides as follows: $ which R /usr/local/bin/R The problem is that I cannot build packages. For example, see the below (which

Dear all (not an R question per se, but given that the Real pRo's are all heRe I hope you foRgive) survival analyses assume that censoring is independent of hazard etc (eg, MASS 4th ed, pg. 354). Is there a standard test for this assumption? If there is not, what would you do to examine it empirically? (over and above some thinking about how censoring might be related to baseline factors).

Trevor, Thanks for your reply. That doesnot help Any other suggestions?

Hello. I'm having difficulties getting R_alloc() to work. The test platform is a 64-bit Mac running R 2.2.1 installed via a .dmg file obtained from the R site. Details are given below, in a level of detail that I hope is appropriate. My eye was particularly drawn to line #2 in the gdb 'where' output, but line #1 seems sensible so I may just be displaying my ignorance by

I am trying to obtain some more detail regarding the nlm function available in the latest release of R. Specifically, what mimimization routine is being used... and ... does there exist a fortran or C version of it? Thank you, Joanna Joanna Elizabeth MILLS, M.Sc. Ph: (902) 494-3747 Dalhousie University Fax: (902) 494-5130 Department of Mathematics and

I have an R program which basically reads in data. It then calls a C program which performs numerical integration until converging to a solution. The result is then passed back from C to R. Unfortunately, when running this program, the virtual memory associated with it explodes -> 2GIG!. Does anyone know what might be causing this or can suggest possiblie ways to debug? Thank you! Joanna

QUESTION: how should I do a linear regression in which there are errors in x as well as y? SUPPLEMENT: I've seen folks approach this problem by computing eigenvectors of the covariance matrix, and that makes sense to me. But I'm wondering if this has a "pedigree" (i.e. if it makes sense to folks on this list, and if it's something that has been published, so I can refer to

I was thinking of using rsync, since it has the ability of mapping the written user-name instead of using UID's. Anyone know how this work on WindowsNT? I've read, that CygWin hasn't the ACL's properly implemented yet? Does another "cross-platform" exist, that can map between the written usernames? Jacob ps. I've tried using scopy, but it fails : "Acces

Hello, I have two vectors x1 and x2 both in increasing order. I want to select the x1[j]th entry which is the max min of the x2[i]th entry. I can do this using if and for statements but is there a quick way to do it without running a loop? Thank you in advance, Pantelis

We ran across a strange problem that I'm hoping someone may have already solved. When we use Windows Explorer to copy a file from a Unix directory to a Windows directory or another Unix directory, some of the source files have their user execute bits removed. I haven't been able to see a pattern as to which source files are changed, and it doesn't always seem to be consistent. It

I have never used -> but I noticed at http://github.com/jiho/r-utils/blob/master/beamer_colors.R that some people do. In fact, the above-named code has a sort of elegance about it (except for the use of "=" for assignment...). To my eye, -> calls to mind a type of assignment that is meant to stand out. For example, perhaps it would make sense to use -> to assign

Hi. It's my understanding that a cross-correlation function of vectors x and y at lag zero is equivalent to their correlation (or covariance, depending on how the ccf is defined). If this is true, could somebody please explain why I get an inconsistent result between cov() and ccf(type = "covariance"), but a consistent result between cor() and ccf(type = "correlation")? Or

Hi all, I have created forest plots using the package "meta" that I submitted as pdf for publication. I just received an email from the editor asking me if I could send these files in an Excel or MS Word format such that they can treat them as tables with box plots. I am not sure if I can do this... Is this possible? I've tried the capture.output command, but I get a blank MS Word

Hi, I am trying to run the "schools" example in the rbugs library (running winbugs in linux via wine-20041201) but keep getting the following error. Note I have tested wine and winbugs to confirm that both are operational. Error in runBugs(bugs, script.file, n.chains, workingDir, useWine, wine, : BUGS stopped before getting to coda. The command I'm using is:
