similar to: binom.test appropriate?

No, since I'd like to test null: p <= p0 alternative: p > p0. and my understanding is that binom.test tests null: p = p0 (can only be a "simple" null hypothesis according to help(binom.test)) alternative: p > p0 (or p < p0 or p != p0).

Hi there, I'm quite new to R (and statistics), and I like it (both)! But I'm a bit lost in all these packages, so could someone please give me a hint whether there exists a package for fitting exponential curves (of the type t --> \sum_i a_i \exp( - b_i t)) on a noisy signal? In fact monoexponential decay + polynomial growth is what I'd like to try. Thanks in advance,

Hello, please excuse me if this is not the appropriate mailing list, but I'll give it a try! I recently switched from using Emacs 20.7.1 to XEmacs 21.4, both on cygwin / MS W2K. On Emacs the ESS 5.1.17 was working well, but now, when calling R from within XEmacs, it first asks for the working directory, then says "R process is not running". The ESS buffer holds the

Hi folks, I was able to track down the problems I had with xemacs / ESS / cygwin / MS W2000 to the file "essd-r.el" in the ESS 5.1.18 package. ESS seems to think, it is running in a complete Unix environment and sends the wrong command line option ("--no-readline" instead of "--ess") to the MS W2000 executable "Rterm.exe". My temporary patch looks

Dear all, this looks pretty much a standard problem, but I couldn't find a satisfying and understandable solution. (A) Given a data frame (or matrix), e.g. x <- data.frame(A=c(1, 2, 2), B=c(4, 5, 5)) and a row of this data frame, e.g. r <- c(2, 5) I need to find one row index i (or all such indices) such that r is at the i-th row in x, that is, the

Hi folks, I tried to retain the Weibull distribution using the `nls' function and proceeding along the lines of the example provided in the `SSweibull' help (at least I thought so): t <- (1:200)/100 v <- pweibull(t, shape=3, scale=1) df <- data.frame(Time=t, Value=v) Asym <- 1.0; Drop <- 1.0; lrc <- 0; pwr <- 1 df.estimate <- nls(Value ~ SSweibull(Time,

Hello all, I am trying to understand the different results I am getting from the following 3 commands: chisq.test(c(62,50), p = c(0.512,1-0.512), correct = F) # p-value = 0.3788 binom.test(x=62,n=112, p= 0.512) # p-value = 0.3961 2*(1-pbinom(62,112, .512)) # p-value = 0.329 Well, the binom.test was supposed to be "exact" and give the same results as the pbinom, while the chisq.test

Hello everybody. Does anyone else find the last test in the following sequence odd?

running R 1.4.1 on MAC and 1.2.2 on Linux When I use run binom.test with small N the results are a little perplexing to me >binom.test(9,20,p=0.5) gives the below plus other stuff 95 percent confidence interval: 0.2305779 0.6847219 Now: >pbiom(9,20,0.6847219) [1] 0.02499998 # i.e., lower 2.5% of distribution >pbinom(9,20,0.2305779) [1] 0.9923132 >pbinom(8,20,0.2305779)

I believe the binom.test procedure is producing one tailed p values rather than the two tailed value implied by the alternative hypothesis language. A textbook and SAS both show 2*9.94e-07 = 1.988e-06 as the two tailed value. As does the R summation syntax from R below. It looks to me like the alternative hypothesis language should be revised to something like " ... greater than or equal

With this line: > binom.test(x=12, n=50, p=12/50, conf.level = 0.90) I get this output: > Exact binomial test > > data: 12 and 50 > number of successes = 12, number of trials = 50, p-value = 1 > alternative hypothesis: true probability of success is not equal to 0.24 > 90 percent confidence interval: > 0.1447182 0.3596557 > sample estimates: > probability

Hello, I'm running debain on my machine with postfix, squirrelmail and dovecot installed. Everything works fine and I'm able to access my mail via squirrelmail and via Outlook with imap. However I want to create subfolders what is not possible. After reading I discovered that I use mbox and that maildir is needed in order to be able to use subfolders. I have created a Maildir folder with

R-experts: A quick question, please. >From a lab exp, I got 12 positives out of 50. To get 90% CI for this , I think binom.test might be the one to be used.

Hi all, I am wondering whether there is a small bug in the binom.test function of the ctest library (I'm using R 1.6.0 on windows 2000, but Splus 2000 seems to have the same behaviour). Or perhaps I've misunderstood something. the command binom.test(11,100,p=0.1) and binom.test(9,100,p=0.1) give different p-values (see below). As 9 and 11 are equidistant from 10, the mean of the

Dear UseRs, I have a very simple question. I have a big matrix (say x) including probabilities (values in (0,1)). I have to store in a list the names of the row and the column where max(x) is located. How can I proceed? Thanks in advance for your assistance! mirko

Hi Folks, The recent correspondence about "strange fisher.test result", and especially Peter Dalgaard's reply on Tue 03 April 2007 (which I want to investigate further) led me to take a close look at the code for binom.test(). I now have a query! The code for the two-sided case computes the p-value as follows: if (p == 0) (x == 0) else if (p == 1) (x == n)

Hello, I am planning to build a bigger Internet platform and actually evaluating Java EE and Rails. I have a lot of Java experience and I am quite new to Rails. After playing some weeks with Rails I am sure that it is a mature web framework and I really like the productivtity of Rails. One of the key advantages is that new developers will understand this platform much quicker than all the Java
