similar to: AW: binom.test appropriate?

Hi there, as part of a 2 x 2 contingency table analysis I would like to estimate conditional probabilities (success rates) in a Bernoulli experiment. In particular I want to test a null hypothesis p <= p0 versus the alternative hypothesis p > p0. As far as I understand the subject, there are UMPU tests for these types of hypotheses. Now I know about R's "binom.test" but the

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

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 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

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

Hello everybody. Does anyone else find the last test in the following sequence odd? Can anyone else reproduce it or is it just me? > binom.test(100,200,0.13)$p.value [1] 2.357325e-36 > binom.test(100,200,0.013)$p.value [1] 6.146546e-131 > binom.test(100,200,0.0013)$p.value [1] 1.973702e-230 > binom.test(100,200,0.00013)$p.value [1] 0.9743334 (R 1.5.1, Linux RedHat 7.1) --

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)

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. Is there a better way or function to calculate this? > binom.test(x=12, n=50, p=12/50, conf.level = 0.90) Exact binomial test data: 12 and 50 number of successes = 12, number of trials = 50, p-value = 1 alternative

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

Hi, I noticed this problem on my home desktop running FC4 and again on my laptop running FC5. Both have previously compiled and passed make check-all on 2.3.1 svn revisions from 10 days ago or so. On both these machines, make check-all is consistently failing (4 out of 4 attempts on the FC 4 desktop and 3 out of 3 on the FC 5 laptop) in the p-r-random-tests tests. This is with both default

Hi, I was hoping to get some advice regarding the testing of interactions, when one factor is modelled as a random effect... I have a model with binomial error structure where the response variable is the proportion of time spent at the main sett (animals were tracked for 28 consecutive days in each season, and were recorded either at the main sett or an outlier sett, so the response variable is

Dear Listers, I am trying to use "rbinom" in my C code, but i always get zeros as output no matter the probability. Am not sure what I am doing wrong because the function has worked before. Attached in an example. Noticed that "rbinom" expects 'n' to be REAL. Regards, Vumani R 2.3.1 (2006-06-01) Windows XP Gcc /* Called this file binom.c and then ran rcmd shlib on it

Dear All, I have been trying to simulate data from a fitted glm using the simulate() function (version details at the bottom). This works for lm() fits and even for lmer() fits (in lme4). However, for glm() fits its output does not make sense to me -- am I missing something or is this a bug? Consider the following count data, modelled as gaussian, poisson and binomial responses: counts
