Dear all, Has anyone worked on coding for calculating Lyapunov Exponent for a time series data? or any package is available for computing Lyapunov? Please advice and many thanks in advance. Catherine X Wang

For a Monte Carlo study I need to extract from an lme model the estimated standard deviation of a random effect and store it in a vector. If I do a print() or summary() on the model, the number I need is displayed in the Console [it's the 0.1590195 in the output below] >print(fit) >Linear mixed-effects model fit by maximum likelihood > Data: datag2 > Log-likelihood:

Hello, Does anybody know if there is somewhere in R a function to calculate the Lyapunov exponent in a time series?

Hello, i have a little problem with R and i hope you can help me. I want to use splines to estimate a function but i want to force the interpolation to be monotone. Is this possible with R ? Thank you, Rémi. --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I'm seeking some advice on effectively using the new Matrix library in R1.9.0 for operations with large dense matrices. I'm working on integral operator models (implemented numerically via matrix operations) and except for the way entries are generated, the examples below really are representative of my problem sizes. My main concern is speed of large dense matrix multiplication. In R

R help list subscribers, I am a new user of R. I am attempting to use R to explore a set of equations specifying the dynamics of a three trophic level food chain. I have put together this code for the function that is to be evaluted by LSODA. My equations Rprime, Cprime, and Pprime are meant to describe the actual equation of the derivative. When I run LSODA, I do not get the output that

Dear all, I'm using a binomial distribution with a logit link function to fit a GAM model. I have 2 questions about it. First i am not sure if i've chosen the most adequate distribution. I don't have presence/absence data (0/1) but I do have a rate which values vary between 0 and 1. This means the response variable is continuous even if within a limited interval. Should i use

Dear all, Following the help from gam(mgcv) help page, i tried to analyze my dataset with all the default arguments. Unfortunately, it can't be run successfully. I list the errors below. #m.gam<-gam(mark~s(x,y)+s(lstday2004)+s(slope)+s(ndvi2004)+s(elevation)+s(disbinary),family=binomial(logit),data=point)

Hi, I'm running gam (mgcv version 1.3-29) and glm (logit) (stats R 2.61) on the same models/data, and I got error messages for the gam() model and warnings for the glm() model. R-help suggested that the glm() warning messages are due to the model perfectly predicting binary output. Perhaps the model overfits the data? I inspected my data and it was not immediately obvious to me (though I

Dear R-experts, I am trying to fit a GAM with 2 binary predictors (variables coded 0,1). I guess I cannot just smooth binary variables. By the way I code them as 0=no,1=yes, then mgcv will think those variables are numeric.? I have tried to change 0 and 1 in no and yes. It does not work. How to solve my problem. Here below my toy example. Many thanks. Best, Sacha ? ########################

Hello, I'm interested in correcting for and measuring unobserved heterogeneity ("missing variables") using R. In particular, I'm searching for a simple way to measure the amount of unobserved heterogeneity remaining in a series of increasingly complex models (adding additional variables to each new model) on the same data. I have a static database of 400,000 or

Dear Sacha, use glm() in this case. I'd rather code the covariable as TRUE / FALSE or as a factor. Best regards, ir.

Dear all, I run the GAMs (generalized additive models) in gam(mgcv) using the following codes. m.gam <-gam(mark~s(x)+s(y)+s(lstday2004)+s(ndvi2004)+s(slope)+s(elevation)+disbinary,family=binomial(logit),data=point) And two repeated warnings appeared. Warnings$B!'(B 1: In gam.fit(G, family = G$family, control = control, gamma = gamma, ... : Algorithm did not converge 2: In gam.fit(G,

-- R Help List -- I am looking for a bivariate normal cdf routine in R. I have some fortran routines for this, which appear to be based on 15-point quadrature. Any guidance/suggestions on making these in loadable R-functions would be appreciated. Thanks, Dan =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Daniel A.

Hi I am afraid i am not understanding something very fundamental.... and does not matter how much i am looking into the book "Generalized Additive Models" of S. Wood i still don't understand my result. I am trying to model presence / absence (presence = 1, absence = 0) of a species using some lidar metrics (i have 4 of these). I am using different models and such .... and when i

Dear list, I´m using the mgcv package to model the proportion by weight of certain prey on the stomach content of a predator. This proportion is the ratio of two weights (prey weight over stomach weight), and ranges between 0 and 1. The variance is low when proportion is close to 0 and 1, and higher at intermediate values. It seems that the best way to go is to model this using the

Hi.., is there a function in R to fit bivariate splines ? I came across 'polymars' (POLSPLINE) and 'mars' (mda) packages. Are these the one to use or are there other specific commands? Thanks. Harsh

Dear R-help users, I am trying to analyze some visual transect data of organisms to generate a habitat distribution model. Once organisms are sighted, they are followed as point data is collected at a given time interval. Because of the autocorrelation among these "follows," I wish to utilize a GAM-GEE approach similar to that of Pirotta et al. 2011, using packages 'yags' and

Dear R users, I am using the *mgcv package* to model the ratio of hectares of damaged culture by wild boar in french departments according to some environmental covariates. I used a _Beta distribution_ for the response. For each department, we estimated the damaged in 3 different culture types (??Culture??). Our statistical individual are therefore the department crossed by the culture

Hi, I was wondering if there is a function in R which performs bivariate non parametric smoothing which allows for the possibility of including some weights in the smoothing (for each data points in my grid I have some predefined weights that I would like to include in the smoothing).
