similar to: Finite Mixture Analysis

Sorry for the off-topic post, but there is such a wealth of knowledge here that I thought someone might have suggestions. Geoff MacLachlan and David Peel have a program - EMMIX - available for mixture modelling. It is only available as FORTRAN source code and is "downloadable" from Geoff's site. The code is reputed to run on Unix machines and is compilable according to

I just updated rpart to the latest version (3.1.0). There are a number of changes between this and previous versions, and some of the code I've been using with earlier versions (e.g. 3.0.2) no longer work. Here is a simple illustration of a problem I'm having with xpred.rpart. iris.test.rpart<-rpart(iris$Species~., data=iris[,1:4], parms=list(prior=c(0.5,0.25, 0.25))) + ) >

Probably wrong group for this, but a quick question. I've just switched from emacs to Xemacs. In reinstalling ESS 5.1.19 I keep getting the following error when loading Xemacs: "Error in init file: Symbol's function definition is void: w32-using-nt" I've debugged the ess-site.el file, which is where the error originates from. The line causing the difficulty is:

What is the generally accepted way to put certain math symbols into plain text email? For example, how does one convey the "is exactly equal to", "is approximately equal to", and "delta" symbols in a standard text-based (e.g. Courier) font? Dr. Marc R.

I've created a bunch of postscript trees (post.rpart), which I subsequently edit in Adobe Acrobat 4.05 (I need additional labelling that isn't easy to add with R). After editing the labels and annotations using Acrobat, I then export the file to Adobe's .eps format so I can insert the picture into a Microsoft Word 2000 document. The .pdf file distilled from the .ps file is

Forgive what may seem to be a trivial question/problem.

In my research area, researchers are very stingy about sharing data. In fact, they are frequently downright secretive about these morsels. Typically, we get fed a diet of summary statistics and the assurance that the data are *normal* without any necessary documentation that they really are. With that as background and assuming that the data really are normal, is there any way in R (or any

Hey, I have a set of data and want to use Bootstrap method to estimate some pararameters. So does anybody know if there are such functions in R to achieve this? Thanks for your points.

Dear colleague, I'd like to compute linear discriminant analysis, using R. In the book Modern applied statistic with Splus (Venables & Ripley, p. 396), lda function is used. Could you tell me where I can find this function? At what site, can I download this library ? Thank for your help.

I ran across this error the other day while using lm(). I confess that I haven't used it for awhile and haven't been tracking the changes between versions of R. However, the piece of code below is a tiny modification of the example in the help file for "lm". I just separated the commands apart for clarity. A similar piece comes from the help file for

Thanks to John Day, Tom Richards, Mike Prager, Thomas Lumley, and Goran Brostrom, for various helpful suggestions that finally allowed me to get EMMIX compiled on my Linux (and my Windows) machines. The problem was a simple case-sensitivity issue concerning a single file, which I had correctly downloaded but named using the wrong case ("emmix.max" instead of "EMMIX.max").

Running 1.4.1 (Windows) under Windows XP Pro. Have had no difficulty for several weeks since moving to the new OS. Today, while checking the behavior of my mouse, I loaded Rgui as usual. I then immediately tried to exit the program. Upon exiting, I got the following message: Error in save.image(name) : image could not be renamed and is left in .RDataTmp I can move the .RData file to any

I've rolled up R-1.4.1.tgz a short while ago. This is a patch upgrade, fixing the most important bugs that cropped up after the 1.4.0 release. A set of recommended packages which have been tested with R-1.4.1 has been bundled up. Binary distributions are expected to include these packages. You can get the files from the developer site ftp://cvs.r-project.org/pub/CRAN/src/base/R-1.4.1.tgz

It may be my lack of unerstanding, but round() seems to me to give inconsistent results when rounding 5s as in the following examples? > round(1.45, 1) [1] 1.4 # OK > round(2.45, 1) [1] 2.5 # shouldn't this be 2.4? > round(1.05, 1) [1] 1.1 # 1.0 ? and signif(): > signif(2.445, 3) [1] 2.44 # OK > signif(3.445, 3) [1]

QUESTION: how should I do a linear regression in which there are errors in x as well as y? SUPPLEMENT: I've seen folks approach this problem by computing eigenvectors of the covariance matrix, and that makes sense to me. But I'm wondering if this has a "pedigree" (i.e. if it makes sense to folks on this list, and if it's something that has been published, so I can refer to

Thanks to all who offered advice on how to solve a loss of resolution problem involving ps from R, ps -> eps from Acrobat, and Word. It appears that this problem will need to be resolved inside R. If I try to add anything additional (more text, clipart embellishments) to a ps/eps file (using, say, Adobe Acrobat, PaintShop Pro, Powerpoint, or Adobe Illustrator), it gets placed as a
