Hello, I try to do a very simple nonlinear regression. The function is y = (b0 + b1*x1 + b2*x2 + b3*x3) * x4^b4 I think I do everything well, but as I set the starting value of b4 to 0 (it is the theoretically sane starting value), it converges very quickly, and to the wrong solution. Wrong in a sense, that 1) we do not expect this and 2) we do not get this on E-Views, Stata and SAS. I do not

Hi, I am new to R, but a fairly `old' user of Stata. I read posts asking about survey methods and large datasets in the archive, so I will not ask those questions again. But some still remain: - R seems to consume more memory given the same set of data, say if I have only a data frame defined, than Stata. Am I right if I think that this is because the object oriented nature of R and can

Dear all, Using the tsls package, I noticed that regression lists longer than 64 character are getting truncated. Looking at the original source, tsls.formula <- function(model, instruments, data, subset, weights, na.action, contrasts=NULL){ if (missing(na.action)) na.action <- options()$na.action m <- match.call(expand.dots = FALSE) if (is.matrix(eval(m$data,

Dear all, Playing with a toy problem, I wondered how much it costs to generate `internal' objects in a function that are not strictly needed. An example: mean(apply(t(matrix(as.vector(x) - x0 / h, , nrow=nrow(x), ncol=ncol(x))), c(2) epakern, dim)) / h^dim It would be more _readable_ if I defined the object inside the apply(), stick it there and rm() after, but my feeling is that creating

Dear all, Being an economics student, I am trying to put together a little tutorial/FAQ/... for those who have (more) background in econometrics rather than in statistics -- just as I have. I'v been looking for a hypothesis testing tool in R (just linear or also nonlinear) for model parameters, but could not find anything so far. I did find a similar but unanswered question in the archives,

Dear all, I am running platform i386-pc-linux-gnu arch i386 os linux-gnu system i386, linux-gnu status major 1 minor 3.0 year 2001 month 06 day 22 language R and have my own library path set up having R_LIBS='~/lib/R'; export

I just downloaded version 1.0.0 and several binary libraries (VR, rpart, norm, stataread) - WinNT version. I then converted a file from Stata 6.0 to R format by using the stataread library. The file converts perfectly and I was able to use the VR function lda on the dataframe without difficulty. I then tried to use the same dataframe with RPART. The model statement:

Hi Zsombor, Thanks for the patch! Unfortunately I can't apply it because the llvm API has moved from BinaryOperator::create to BinaryOperator::Create. Are you using svn head? Now on the x86_64 part. There has been very little work on porting vmkit on x86_64. If you're having compilation problems, I suppose it's in the garbage collector directory (GCMmap2). If you could make the

Hola! I'm trying to make r-devel on windows XP. I downloaded an hour ago R-1.7.0beta_2003-03-30.tar.gz make terminates without any error messages, with make check I get error messages from tests of internet and socket functions, surely because my modem was not connected (It doesn't say in the documentation (file INSTALL) that internet must be connected under make check.) But the file

Hello, I'm trying to compile vmkit on a x86_64 linux box with gcc-4.1.2, but I'm running into troubles because of various problems with casts between pointers and integers. Is there anybody who succeeded in this task? Az I see, some of the problems can be fixed with an appropriate typedef/macro declaration, but in VMCore/JavaObject.cpp some lowlevel bitmanipulation is used, to mark

As most R developers maybe are already aware of, R version 1.2.0 introduced a new `generational' garbage collector which means that strings and vectors (and language objects) are handled differently from the numerical atomic types. >From ``Writing R Extensions'': Earlier code was written in a style like. VECTOR(dimnames)[0] = getAttrib(x, R_NamesSymbol);

Ok, I''m pretty sure I''ve seen this done before. I have a fixture that isn''t named the same as the table I want to insert the stuff into. Whats the right way to go about this?! Google has failed me! :( -Nick

Hello, I know how to share sessions between subdomains in PHP. Can anyone please guide me as to how I can share sessions using Ruby? Where can I set the value of domain for which the cookie is set? I would like for a user to login on the home page and then go to blog.home.com and not have to login again. Any guidance/pointers are appreciated. Thanks''

I'm writing an R extension. The language I'm using is ANSI C. One of the functions I'm writing will accept a string and return a dataset as a dataframe. i.e the prototype will be of the form: dataframe foo(R_String) { } Does anyone have any skeleton code for such a function, i.e. one that receives an R "string" and returns a dataset as a dataframe ? The main concerns I
