similar to: changes in glm?

I hope this is the right place for my question, my apologise if it is not. I am a long time Mac/UNIX user and my local machine is a Mac. At present I run an orphan version of R which a worried out of (*****). On reflection I guess I'd better not say, but it changed my life. It is howerver a little out of date ( say 0.6ish) So the obvious question, do I move to MacLinux or is there likely

Dear List, After my laptop was stolen I (eventually) replaced it with a G4 laptop running Mac OS 9.1 . This also meant I updated to the current Mac binary 1.3.1. This is pretty wonderful except for one problem. I normally save R figs as eps files using the Mac OS and then read them into Latex documents. This no longer works as the legends overwrite the diagrams. Saving as ps from R also does

R ran find on our Sun until it was stolen. I have now set up R on one of our Dec Alphas OSF1 V4.0 386. R-0.49 configures builds and runs fine except that the glm command crashes R. R-0.60.1 configures builds and runs until a cis entered. I think the problem is the floating point conventions but before I get in over my head a question Has anyone used glm successfully on Alphas OSF1 V4.0 386?

I am new to R so may well have missed the point somewhere. I would like to use an exponential error in my generalized linear model. It seems natural to restrict the Gamma family to do this ( and as one might in GLIM) by specifying the scale. This does not seem possible in R . Have I missed something? Sorry to raise such a trivial point but I am keen to specify the scale G.Janacek

I am trying to give my students acces to R. rsept (the windows95 version ?) will not run on our setup which is PC's connected to a server. rapril (the 3.11?) version will run but the graphics vanish once the graphics window is activated. Any suggstions? I did try mounting it on a DEC Alpha but getting a version to run glm is beyond me. I would appreciate any suggestions Jan G.Janacek

hello I read "Practical Time Series" (Gareth Janacek; 2001) and they presented e.g the smoothing functions msmooth(x,k) or the bivariate function crosscorr(x,y,k), but both didn't work on my machine. I only load the ts library, is another library necessary or did this function change since 2001? Is there a more recent and detailed manual for ts? thanks, cheers Martin -- Martin

Hello out there, in their "R Complements" to Modern Applied Statistics W. Venables and B. Ripley say that there is a lack of time series related functions in R compared to S plus. Looking at CRAN I didn't find much, too. As I have to learn something about +-basic ts analysis, e.g. spectral analysis, I would like to know whether somebody has developed a "unpublished" time

Greetings, I am trying to install R (0.63.2) on a Digital Unix 4.0b Alpha Server 2100A using gcc 2.8.1 and f77 v 0.5.2.3. It seems to compile OK. However, when I try to run R I get the following message: R : Copyright 1999, The R Development Core Team Version 0.63.2 (January 12, 1999) R is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Help ! I am a graduate student in statistics, nearing the end of my first semester, and recently discovered R, but cannot figure out how to install it on my Mac. I am currently running OS 10.1.1, and know next to nothing about Unix or anything related. I would like to install this program on my Powerbook, as it come highly recommended, so I can use it for a class next semester. Any help

While it is good to have R on my local Unix box it would be wonderful to have a recent version to run on my (Mac) Powerbook. I know that the PowerMac version is on hold so (1) Any idea when it might appear (2) Any chance of a bit more functional Mac version G.Janacek Maths UEA -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read

My first attempt at using Wine within Ubuntu to run my favourite email program - Pegasus - resulted in a problem. Pegasus is preinstalled on windows98, I gave the correct filepath and everything appeared to be loading well until it asked for a 'user'. Gave my normal Pegasus username and got the error message that the user does not exist. Tried various permutations of upper and lower

Dear R-users, I'm running a lmer model using the lme4 package. My dependent variable is dichotomous and I'm using the "binomial" family. The results are slightly different from the HLM results based on a Bernoulli distribution. I read that a Bernoulli distribution is an extension of a binomial distribution. Is that right? If so, how can I adapt my R model to a Bernoulli

Hi, This is the first time I've come across this: pid 11415 (ipfw), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) The core dump landed in root's home directory in one of my jails. Has anyone seen this before? Should I be concerned? chkrootkit says nothing. (How trustworthy is its output? ;-) Thanks. Cheers. -- Ng Pheng Siong <ngps@netmemetic.com> http://firewall.rulemaker.net

Maybe this is dumb, but I seem to be having problems reading a file saved in R v. 0.99 into R 0.90.1 (in a different machine). I did >save(test1, file="test1.RData") then I tried to read that data file in R 0.90.1: >load("test1.RData") Error in load("test1.RData") : restore file corrupted -- no data loaded More info: - both machines are running Linux;

HI, Dear Greg, I AM A NEW to GBM package. Can boosting decision tree be implemented in 'gbm' package? Or 'gbm' can only be used for regression? IF can, DO I need to combine the rpart and gbm command? Thanks so much! -- Sincerely, Changbin -- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R-listers, Can someone suggest a method for generating a finite Bernoulli sequence that is likely to have a given point-biserial correlation with an existing Bernoulli sequence? _____________________________ Professor Michael Kubovy University of Virginia Department of Psychology USPS: P.O.Box 400400 Charlottesville, VA 22904-4400 Parcels: Room 102 Gilmer Hall

Hi all, I was wondering how to generate samples for two RVs X1 and X2. X1 ~ Bernoulli (p1) X2 ~ Bernoulli (p2) Also, X1 and X2 are correlated with correlation \rho. Regards, Vineet [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Full_Name: Uffe H?gsbro Thygesen Version: 2.2.0 OS: linux Submission from: (NULL) (130.226.135.250) Hello all. pbinom(q=0,size=0,prob=0.5) returns the value NaN. I had expected the result 1. In fact any value for q seems to give an NaN. Note that dbinom(x=0,size=0,prob=0.5) returns the value 1. Cheers, Uffe
