Dear R users, this is a follow up of this message http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e6/help/09/05/13897.html I'm reproducing the core of it for convenience. > // > / data(Oats, package = "MEMSS") / > / tp1.oats <- xyplot(yield ~ nitro | Variety + Block, / > / data = Oats, / > / panel = function(x, y, subscripts, ...) { /

I have a two-dimensional loess fit, and need to calculate the gradient field from it. Even after looking at loess.c and loess.f, I don't understand the meaning of the returned polynomial coefficients. Or is the brute force method of using a tangential approx to the fitted values the way to go? Dieter Menne --------------------------------------- Dr. Dieter Menne Biomed Software 72074

Is there an easy way to remove data frame columns by name instead of by index? The following gives the idea remove<-c("subj","drug") data[-remove] I found a solution with a few evals and substitutes, similar to that used in reshapeLong, but there must be an easier way out.

Using a formula converted with as.formula with lme leads to an error message. Same works ok with lm, and with lme and a fixed formula. # demonstrates problems with lme and as.formula demo<-data.frame(x=1:20,y=(1:20)+rnorm(20),subj=as.factor(rep(1:2,10))) demo.lm1<-lme(y~x,data=demo,random=~1|subj) print(summary(demo.lm1)) newframe<-data.frame(x=1:5,subj=rep(1,5))

deriv seems to have problems with a minus-sign before a bracket. Below are four examples of the same function, the top one is wrong, all others are correct (hopefully).

Dear Mixed Effect Friends, Somehow, R(1021, Windows) seem to run differently from S Plus: The soybean example from Pinheiro/Bates on page 290 fails in R. (Soybean1 is Soybean with the NA and "critical" case removed. Same procedure with full Soybean). > fm1Soy.lis<-nlsList(weight~SSlogis(Time,Asym,xmid,scal),data=Soybean1) > fm1Soy.nlme<-nlme(fm1Soy.lis) Error: Singularity

Dear R-Listers, to measure the psychometric curve of pitch discrimination, one sequentially presents two tones of slightly different pitch to an observer (animal will do), and asks "which is higher". The pschometric curve is the fraction of correct responses plotted against the pitch difference. It passes through 50% (pure guessing) at zero and normally approaches 100% at large

Dear R's, I have a survey where customers rank a set of 5 packages for a product, so the response variable looks like a d b c a c d b d b a c Predictors variables are 4 socio-economic parameters. I have modelled the FIRST choice of each subject as a multinomial model, similar to the housing example in MASS ch7.3, , but I would prefer to use the whole rank-set instead. Can someone give me a

I try to display the grouping variable in coplot. It work, but it's special solution and rather ugly. Any better idea? # Simulate my data frame data(state) x77<-data.frame(state.x77) x77$region<-state.region coplot(Life.Exp ~ Income | region, data=x77, show.given=F, subscripts=T, panel = function(x, y,subscripts, ...) { panel.smooth(x, y, span = 1., ...)

Dear friends of nlme, Running quinModel (Pinheiro/Bates page 380) on R (current release, windows) gives: Nonlinear mixed-effects model fit by maximum likelihood Model: conc ~ quinModel(Subject, time, conc, dose, interval, lV, lKa, lCl) Data: Quinidine Log-likelihood: -497 Fixed: lV + lKa + lCl ~ 1 lV lKa lCl 5.382 -0.273 2.470 Random effects: Formula: list(lV ~ 1, lCl ~ 1)

I am confused by the logic of renaming: # Rename individual list items? Empl<-list(employee="Anna",spouse="Fred") names(Empl)<-c("empl","spo") names(Empl) #[1] "empl" "spo" # worked like a charm... but names(Empl[1])<-"newempl" # no error message, yet .... names(Empl) #[1] "empl" "spo" #

We have extracted parameters from physiological measurements by fitting SSlogis-like curves with nlsList and nlme. We presented residuals plot in a paper, but a referee argues that these cannot be included (too technical), and r-square values should be given instead to compare the goodness of fit with those of other authors. I remember that 30 years ago in my stat 101, I learned that r-square is

I have problem getting the concept of a nested fixed variable into the nlme scheme. I fear the question is very stupid. In the past I had asked this before, and never got a reply (in other cases, the response was within hours). I also checked the S-list, where several similar enquiries of other people are orphaned. We have a cross-over design, where patient are treated two weeks with placebo,

Thanks to Dieter Menne and Spencer Graves I started to get my way through lsoda() Now I need to use it in with nls() to assess parameters I have a go with a basic example dy/dt = K1*conc I try to assess the value of K1 from a simulated data set with a K1 close to 2. Here is (I think) the best code that I've done so far even though it crashes when I call nls()

Dear friends of lattice, I know how to position trellis plots with print(...,split,more=T) or (...position). Sometimes I wish I had something like the old "par(mfcol=2, mfrow=3)" mechanism, where the next free viewport is automatically chosen. I tried fiddling with grid-viewports, but could not find an easy solution. Did I miss something? Dieter Menne

Hi Dieter, Sorry my mistake. I wanted to convert them into Decimal (not Hexadecimal).
