similar to: contrasts in lm

I have a model (run with glm) that has a factor, type. Type has two levels, "general" and "regional". I am trying to get estimates (and SEs) for the model with type="general" and type ="regional" using fit.contrast but I can't get the syntax of the coefficients to use in fit.contrast correct. I hope someone can show me how to use fit.contrast, or some

David, Thank you for responding to my post. Please consider the following output (typeregional is a factor having two levels, "regional" vs. "general"): Call: glm(formula = events ~ type, family = poisson(link = log), data = data, offset = log(SS)) Deviance Residuals: Min 1Q Median 3Q Max -43.606 -17.295 -4.651 4.204 38.421 Coefficients:

David, Again you have my thanks!. You are correct. What I want is not technically a contrast. What I want is the estimate for "regional" and its SE. I don't mind if I get these on the log scale; I can get the anti-log. Can you suggest how I can get the point estimate and its SE for "regional"? The predict function will give the point estimate, but not (to my knowledge)

What I want is the estimate for "regional" and its SE. There needs to be a reference value for the contrast. Contrasts are differences. I gave you the choice of two references

David, predict.glm and se.fit were exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks!

Hello, I have spent considerable time trying to figure out that which I am about to describe. This included searching Help, consulting my various R books, and trail and (always) error. I have been assuming I would need to use a loop (looping over columns) but perhaps and apply function would do the trick. I have unsuccessfully tried both. A scaled down version of my situation is as follows:

Hello~   Did any one have used the package 'orcutt' ?   I find that it can not work smoothly in a single variable regression. I use the example following, it function very well.   But when I regress "cons" on "price" (use the "reg1<-lm(cons~price+income+temp)") , then  use "reg11<-cochrane.orcutt(reg1) ". There is an error message “Error in

Hello I can construct a correlation matrix from an (ordered) vector of correlation coefficients as follows: x <- c(0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5) n <- length(x) cmat <- diag(rep(0.5,n)) cmat[lower.tri(cmat,diag=0)] <- x cmat <- cmat+t(cmat) But how to do the reverse operation, i.e. produce x from cmat? Thanks for help, Serguei Kaniovski [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

printCoefmat(signif.legend =FALSE) does not work properly. The option "signif.legend = FALSE" is ignored as shown in the example below. cmat <- cbind(rnorm(3, 10), sqrt(rchisq(3, 12))) cmat <- cbind(cmat, cmat[,1]/cmat[,2]) cmat <- cbind(cmat, 2*pnorm(-cmat[,3])) colnames(cmat) <- c("Estimate", "Std.Err", "Z value", "Pr(>z)") #

Hi, In the data below, "case" represents cases, "x" binary states. Each "case" has exactly 9 "x", ie is a binary vector of length 9. There are 2^9=512 possible combinations of binary states in a given "case", ie 512 possible vectors. I generate these in the order of the decimals the vectors represent, as:

My data looks like this: > data name G_hat_0_0 G_hat_1_0 G_hat_2_0 G_0 G_hat_0_1 G_hat_1_1 G_hat_2_1 G_1 1 rs0 0.488000 0.448625 0.063375 1 0.480875 0.454500 0.064625 1 2 rs1 0.002375 0.955375 0.042250 1 0.000000 0.062875 0.937125 2 3 rs2 0.050375 0.835875 0.113750 1 0.877250 0.115875 0.006875 0 4 rs3 0.000000 0.074750 0.925250 2 0.897750 0.102000

Dear R'ers, I am fighting with a problem that is driving me crazy. I use "lm" in my user-defined function, but it seems to be looking for weights outside of my function's environment: ### Generating example data: x<-data.frame(y=rnorm(100,0,1),a=rnorm(100,1,1),b=rnorm(100,2,1)) myweights<-runif(100) data.for.regression<-x[1:3] ### Creating function

Hi, I have a correlation matrix of about 3000 items, i.e., a 3000*3000 matrix. For each of the 3000 items, I want to get the top 50 items that have the highest correlation with it (excluding itself) and generate a data frame with 3 columns like ("ID", "ID2", "cor"), where ID is those 3000 items each repeat 50 times, and ID2 is the top 50 correlated items with ID,

In a package I've been developing for manipulating genetic data I discovered a problem when indexing into character arrays using NA's: Create a character matrix and a numeric matrix > cmat <- matrix( letters[1:4], ncol=2, nrow=2) > nmat <- matrix( 1:4, ncol=2, nrow=2) Create an index vector containing an NA value > indvec <- c(1,2,NA) Indexing works fine for both

Hi! I am a bit new to R. I am looking for the right function to use for a multiple regression problem of the form: y = c1 + x1 + (c2 * x2) - (c3 * x3) Where c1, c2, and c3 are the desired regression coefficients that are subject to the following constraints: 0.0 < c2 < 1.0, and 0.0 < c3 < 1.0 y, x1, x2, and x3 are observed data. I have a total of 6 rows of data in a data set. Is

Hi Can anybody please suggest me about the documentation of "factanal.fit.mle()" (Not factanal()------ searching factanal.fit.mle() in R always leads to factanal()). Is there any function for doing principal component factor analysis in R. Regards Souvik Bandyopadhyay JRF, Dept Of Statistics Calcutta University [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello. I'm not a regular subscriber in this mailing list, but I think that this announce may interest somebody. Please, forgive me if this is the wrong place. Based on the code of RSPython, but modifying it a little, I wrote an interface for using R from Python. The main reason for writing it was to make it robust, in order to avoid segmentation faults. Also, it is (IMMO) a very
