Dear R users, I have a couple of linear model related questions. 1) How do I produce a fixed effect linear model using lme? I saw somewhere (this may be Splus documentation since I use Splus and R interchangeably) that using lme(...,random= ~ -1 | groups,...) works, but it gives the same as lme(...,random= ~ 1 | groups,...), ie. fits a random effect intercept term. The reason why I want to do

Hi all, I have a problem using rdirichlet{gtools}. For Dir( a1, a2, ..., a_n), its mode can be found at $( a_i -1)/ ( \sum_{i}a_i - n)$; The means are $a_i / (\sum_{i} a_i ) $; I tried to study the above properties using rdirichlet from gtools. The code are: ############## library(gtools) alpha = c(1,3,9) #totoal=13 mean.expect = c(1/13, 3/13, 9/13) mode.expect = c(0, 2/10, 8/10) #

Muy buenas, Tengo la siguiente duda/problema, He optimizado con éxito un problema de este tipo: \sum f(x_i) donde f es una curva exponencial (función no lineal) sujeto a: a_i < x_i < b_i y \sum f(x_i) < Presupuesto Vamos, es repartir un presupuesto forzando a que inviertas como poco a_i y como mucho b_i para cada i Esto lo hecho correctamente usando el paquete:

According to Dr. Breiman, the RF should be more accurate method than a single tree. However, the performance of each method seems to depend on the proprotion of outcome variable in my case. My data set is a typical classification problem (predict bad guys). When I ran both of them with different proportion of outcome variables(there's a criterion to measure the degree of bad behavior), I

Can I say that RPART is a modified algo of CART and PARTY a modified of CHAID?

Dear People, I have a vexing problem related to pseudo-random number generation, and would appreciate any help and advice. This problem is not directly related to R, and the only reason I am posting it to this list is that my implementation is using R. Let me describe my problem by giving an example, that is close to what I am trying to do. Suppose we are given a stream of pseudo-random numbers,

Hi, Is here anyone knows the difference between rapart and bagging when grow a CART tree? Thanks Qin

I'm relatively new to R, but I'm attempting to do a non-linear maximum likelihood estimation (mle) in R, with the added problem that I have a non-linear constraint. The basic problem is linear in the parameters (a_i) and has only one non-linear component, b, with the problem being linear when b = 0 and non-linear otherwise. Furthermore, f(a_i) <= b <= g(a_i) for some (simple) f

I would like to code the following in R: a1(b1+b2+b3) + a2(b1+b3+b4) + a3(b1+b2+b4) + a4(b1+b2+b3) or in summation notation: sum_{i=1, j\neq i}^{4} a_i * b_i I realise this is the same as: sum_{i=1, j=1}^{4} a_i * b_i - sum_{i=j} a_i * b_i would appreciate some help.

Dear R-Users, I need to find a smooth function f() and coefficients a_i that give the best fit to y ~ a_0 + a_1*f(x_1) + a_2*f(x_2) Note that it is the same non-linear transformation f() that is applied to both x_1 and x_2. So my first question is how can I do it in R? A more general question is this: suppose I have a utility function U(a_i, f()), where f() is say a spline. Is there a general

Hi, I'd like to take difference for a sequence a between a_i and a_i-2, for instance, a<-c(2,3,4,8,1) I need (2, 5, -3) as a result. If not using a for loop, can anyone help me? Thanks a lot.

Hello, I'm very new to using R, but I was told it could do what I want. I'm not sure how best to enter the information but here goes... I'm trying to transfer the following integral into R to solve for ln(gamma_1), on the left, for multiple instances of gamma_i and variable N_i. gamma_i is, for example, (0, 0.03012048, 0.05000000, 0.19200000, 0.44000000, 0.62566845) N_i (N_1 or

Hi Folks, I am dealing with data which have been presented as at each x_i, mean m_i of the y-values at x_i, sd s_i of the y-values at x_i number n_i of the y-values at x_i and I want to linearly regress y on x. There does not seem to be an option to 'lm' which can deal with such data directly, though the regression problem could be algebraically

Hi the list, According to what I know, the Canberra distance between X et Y is : sum[ (|x_i - y_i|) / (|x_i|+|y_i|) ] (with | | denoting the function 'absolute value') In the source code of the canberra distance in the file distance.c, we find : sum = fabs(x[i1] + x[i2]); diff = fabs(x[i1] - x[i2]); dev = diff/sum; which correspond to the formula : sum[ (|x_i - y_i|) /

Dear OpenSSH developers, Hi, taking the liberty of sending this to your mailing list in the hope someone will be able to help. The KTH version of Kerberos 4 was the only one I was able to find. In case you don't want to look at all the stuff below, the situation is briefly that I am trying to compile openssh with kerberos 4 support, which it apparently has. However, it can't find krb.h,
