Hello, all, I'm running Version 1.1.0 (June 15, 2000), on Mandrake 6.1 Linux. I think that I'm getting nonsense results from the density function. When I feed it a sample generated by v<-runif(1000,0,1), I get back some small negative numbers for density values, as follows: >v<-runif(1000,0,1) > dump("v","/home/tomlinso/auction/test.vector.R") >

Thanks for the advice, folks! Shravan Vasishth <vasishth at ling.ohio-state.edu> Try pico. There's no substitute for/comparison with emacs, though, IMHO. but just to be sure: you don't have to have ESS to use (x)emacs for editing R scripts. Sven Garbade <garbade at psy.uni-muenchen.de> ESS can be installed via rpm on Mandrake. baron at cattell.psych.upenn.edu (Jonathan

Hello, all, I'd like to propose that now that the underscore-as-assignment-operator is to be removed from R (good thing, too), that the Windows GUI should replace the underscore ``_'' with the proper assignment operator ``<-'' when you type in the underscore character. This is the current default behaviour in the ESS mode in emacs, and seems to me to be a generally good

Hi, I am currently looking for a program or programmng language easy to learn, easier to operate on.I heva heard about "R", However I understand that "R" is designed especially for statisticians. As an economist, working on applied econometrics, I am not sure if it can meet my needs. Will I be able to reach precise time series or panal data regression results with

The package AER accompanying the forthcoming book "Applied Econometrics with R" by Christian Kleiber and me in the Springer useR! series has (finally!) been released to CRAN: http://CRAN.R-project.org/package=AER It contains some new R functionality o tobit regression convenience interface (to "survival") o instrumental variables regression (two-stage least squares)

Yuelin Li and I have made some revisions in our introductory document, "Notes on the use of R for psychology experiments and questionnaires," which is still available through my R page (below) in html or pdf. We fixed typos. We updated and organized the list of commands. ("Re"-organized isn't quite right.) We made a few other additions throughout. And we revised the

Hi all, Please recommend good books for the following three categories. (I am aim at finance, macroeconomics, trading and business applications). (1) statistical (financial) data analysis; (2) time series; (3) econometrics. More specifically, I am looking for the following two types of books: (1) Books that provide big pictures and intuitions and books that connect dots... For example, there

Hello, I have just started using R, maybe more like learning it. I am interested in using it for Time Series Analysis and I wanted to know if anyone was familiar with packages other than TS that might be appropriate. Allan

Dear all, The new version of AdMit (version 1.01-01) is now available from CRAN. SUMMARY The package provides functions to perform the fitting of an adaptive mixture of Student-t distributions to a target density through its kernel function. The mixture approximation can then be used as the importance density in importance sampling or as the candidate density in the Metropolis-Hastings

Dear R users, I am putting together reading and resources lists for spatial statistics and spatial econometrics and am looking for some pointers from more experienced practitioners. In particular, I find two "camps" in spatial modelling, and am wondering which approach is better suitied to which situation. The first camp is along the lines of Venables and Ripley's Chapter 14

Hi, We have some sample data from the US census, and we know the marginal totals for the population. We need to make the population estimates add up to the correct sums. I have two questions: Is there some package in R which does this adjustment, by any means? Is there some more modern reference for this problem than Deming's 1943 monograph, ``Statistical Adjustment of Data''?
