Hello I have used recently the kolmogorov smirnov test, which is a test of normality. This test is named ks.test() in ctest library of R. I wonder if the results of ks.test () are true, because the results are strange, time to time. thank you for help meriema -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read

I simulate a uniform data and then transformed into Burr(1,3,1) data, which is of pdf: f(x)=[3*(x^2)] / [(1+x^3)^2], x>0 How can I perform a goodness-of-fit test (k-s, anderson-darling,chisq,cramer-von mises,...) on it (should highly accept) to get test-statistics & p-values? Thanks! Sincerely, Shelton Jin -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

# Why does expressing one function require(ctest) t.test # return only function (x, ...) UseMethod("t.test") <environment: namespace:ctest> # but expressing another function shapiro.test # returns more complete code? function (x) { DNAME <- deparse(substitute(x)) x <- sort(x[complete.cases(x)]) n <- length(x) if (n < 3 || n > 5000)

This question is mainly aimed at Kurt Hornik as author of the ctest package, but I'm cc'ing it to r-help as I suspect there will be other valuable opinions out there. I have been attempting 2 sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests using the ks.test function from the ctest package (ctest v.0.9-15, R v.0.63.3 win32). I am comparing fish length-frequency distributions. My main reference for the

I frequently want to test for differences between animal size frequency distributions. The obvious test (I think) to use is the Kolmogorov-Smirnov two sample test (provided in R as the function ks.test in package ctest). The KS test is for continuous variables and this obviously includes length, weight etc. However, limitations in measuring (e.g length to the nearest cm/mm, weight to the nearest

Hi, In ?shapiro.test, there seems to be no option to pass mean and sd information of the Normal distribution which I want to compare my sample data to. For example in the code below, I want to test my sample to N(0, 10). shapiro.test(rnorm(100, mean = 5, sd = 3)) Is there any way to pass the information of the benchmark normal distribution?

Hi Everyone, We have just upgraded to R-1.2.1, and I note, in contrast to R-1.1.1, that ctest is now loaded automatically. The mechanism for this is to create a .First function in base: .First <- function() { require("ctest", quietly=TRUE) } Now I don't want ctest, but I find that simply putting if (length(grep("ctest", search()))) detach(package:ctest) into

Hi Sir I did find ctest package from CRAN. Where it can be found? Regards -- AMINA SHAHZADI Department of Statistics GC University Lahore, Pakistan. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Please send me the r package : ctest to the following e-mail mak.stat09@gmail.com Thank you. Best regards MAK [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

R-help, I was searching the R archives for information on multiple comparisons and found that "ctest" package may contain something useful for my study. But there seems not to be such a package on CRAN. Anything I am missing? Thanks in advance

On a PMac 7200 (running LinuxPPC 3Q 99), trying to install "R-ctest-0.9.R16-1.ppc.rpm" and "R-splines-2.0.R3-3.ppc.rpm" rpms currently in the linuxppc binary download directory results in error messages saying that files in these rpms conflict with files from R-base 1.01-1. Of course, "R-rpart" and "R-survival4" then also can't be installed because the

Hi, does the shapiro wilk test in R-1.3.0 work correctly? Maybe it does, but can anybody tell me why the following sample doesn't give "W = 1" and "p-value = 1": R> x<-1:9/10;x [1] 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 R> shapiro.test(qnorm(x)) Shapiro-Wilk normality test data: qnorm(x) W = 0.9925, p-value = 0.9986 I can't imagine a sample being

I'm pretty new to R and are trying to do some reliable normality testing... but, can't find the Shapiro Wilk test in R Does some experienced user have such a function that will be wanting to share with me? Or there is maybe some other way to get hte Shapiro Wilk test done... I'll appreciate any hint on this, Thanks -- *********************** Horacio Samaniego Dep. Ecologia P.

I have a large amount of data which I break down into a collection of vectors of 100-125 values each. I would like to test the normality of the vectors and compare them. In the interactive mode I can test any one vector using the Shapiro-Wilk test or the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. My problem is that when I try to write out the results to a file, the term output is a mixture of alpha characters

In the past months (maybe even years), I have received a variety of suggestions on improving/extending/... my ctest package. Some of the wishes have already been fulfilled. In the future, I will at least: * provide a formula-based interface * provide an option for controlling the behavior of 2-sided p-values (sum of more extreme, tail balancing a la S-PLUS, double one-sided, mid p-value,

R 0630 for windows > library(ctest) > binom.test(7,10,p=0.3, alternative="two.sided") returns a p-value of =< 2.2e-016 and a warning In Splus 3.4 > binom.test(7,10,p=0.3, alternative="two.sided") returns a p-value of 0.0106 I think it is the max(v[v<=(1+eps)*PVAL]) causing the problem... max() of an empty vector.......

I am contemplating improving my ctest package as follows: * Add exact p,q,r,s functions for the Wilcoxon distribution, and change the test accordingly (make `exact' work). * Make Fisher's test work for tables larger than 2 by 2. * Perhaps add an exact unconditional test for 2 by 2 tables? * Perhaps add something on estimating/testing relative risk and odds? As clearly I'd like to
