I am trying to make R-1.5.0 from source on a new G4 system with the apple developer tools and X11 installed and with ATLAS. Running ./configure appears to end normally, but running make yields: gcc -no-cpp-precomp -I. -I../../src/include -I../../src/include -I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O2 -c Rdynload.c -o Rdynload.o Rdynload.c: In function `R_FindSymbol': Rdynload.c:942:

Hi, I am trying to use quantile regression to perform weighted-comparisons of the median across groups. This works most of the time, however I am seeing some odd output in summary(rq()): Call: rq(formula = sand ~ method, tau = 0.5, data = x, weights = area_fraction) Coefficients: Value Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|) (Intercept) 45.44262 3.64706 12.46007

Dear List, I would greatly appreciate help on the following matter: The RuleFit program of Professor Friedman uses partial dependence plots to explore the effect of an explanatory variable on the response variable, after accounting for the average effects of the other variables. The plot method [plot(summary(rq(y ~ x1 + x2, t=seq(.1,.9,.05))))] of Professor Koenker's quantreg program

He folks=) I want to check whether a coefficient has an impact on a quantile regression (by applying the sup-wald test for a given quantile range [0.05,0.95]. Therefore I am doing the following calculations: a=0; for (i in 5:95/100){ fitrestricted=rq(Y~X1+X2,tau=i) tifunrestrited=rq(Y~X1+X2+X3,tau=i) a[i]=anova(fitrestricted,fitunrestricted)$table$Tn) #gives the Test-Value } supW=max(a) As anova

Hi. I am aware of three different R packages for linear programming: glpk, linprog, lpSolve. From what I can tell, if there are N variables and M constraints, all these solvers require the full NxM constraint matrix. Some linear solvers I know of (not in R) have a sparse matrix input format. Are there any linear solvers in R that have a sparse matrix input format? (including the

Hi All, I'm still having significantly difficulty getting the quantreg library running in R. I'm running R on MEPIS using the debs created by Dirk Eddelbuettel and placed in apt testing. When I try to install quantreg using the install.packages() function it fails with: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lblas-3 Dirk was nice enough to send me a .deb for quantreg which installs without

I've just installed R 1.0.8 (for Windows) and I tried to install the package Quantreg directly from Cran but it's not in the list of downlodable packages. I tried also downloading the zip file and then install it but there is an error. How can I do it? Thank you [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear All, I'm trying to track down a problem with my quantreg package reported by a user doing censored quantile regression. When he runs the test4.R file attached below (which reads the csv file also attached) on his windows machine he gets an error like this: > Error in dimnames(B) <- list(c("tau", dimnames(x)[[2]], "Qhat"), NULL) : > length of

I was trying "quantreg" package, lm1 <- lm(y~x) rq1 <- rq(y~x) plot(summary(rq1)) #then got a warning says singular value, etc. but this line can be omited plot(lm1) #crash here It happened every time on my PC, Windows XP Pro Serv. Pack 1, Pentium(4) 3.00G. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Rers: I installed R 2.9.0 from the Debian package manager on our amd64 system that currently has 6GB of RAM -- my first question is whether this installation is a true 64-bit installation (should R have access to > 4GB of RAM?) I suspect so, because I was running an rqss() (package quantreg, installed via install.packages() -- I noticed it required a compilation of the source) and

I used R and the quantreg package in a manuscript that is currently in the proofs stage. I cited both R and quantreg as suggested by citation() and noted the version of R and quantreg that I used in the main text as "All tests were computed with the R v2.9.0 statistical programming language (R Development Core 2008). Quantile regressions were conducted with the quantreg v4.27 package

I've been trying to figure this out for a while, but my knowledge of R is obviously still too limited. The context is as follows: I have some time series, and I would like to estimate their densities, and then use the actual densities in a monte carlo simulation. Now, I can easily estimate the density using density(); I can write a random number generator to fit an arbitrary density

Dear all, When using latex.table from the quantreg package, I don't seem to be able to set table.env=FALSE: when I don't specify caption (as I think I should, when understanding the R help rightly(?)), I get an error message, and when I do so, of course I get one, as well. The funny thing is, that a table is indeed produced in the first case, so I get a nice tabular, but as I'm using

Dear all, I am having v.4.36 of Quantreg package and I noticed strange behaviour when weights were added. Could anyone please explain me what if the results are really strange or the behavioiur is normal. As an example I am using dataset Engel from the package and my own weights. x<-engel[1:50,1] y<-engel[1:50,2] w<-c(0.00123, 0.00050, 0.00126, 0.00183, 0.00036, 0.00100, 0.00122,

I am trying to implement an ANOVA on a pair of quantile regression models in R. The anova.rq() function performs a basic check to see whether the models are nested, but I think this check is failing in my case. I think my models are nested despite the anova.rqlist() function saying otherwise. Here is an example where the GLM ANOVA regards the models as nested, but the quantile regression ANOVA

All - Does anyone know if there is a method to calculate a goodness-of-fit statistic for quantile regressions with package quantreg? Specifically, I'm wondering if anyone has implemented the goodness-of-fit process developed by Koenker and Machado (1999) for R? Though I have used package quantreg in the past, I may have overlooked this function, if it is included. Citation: Koenker, R. and

Thierry, I have this: if (require(MatrixModels) && require(Matrix)) { X <- model.Matrix(Terms, m, contrasts, sparse = TRUE) in my function rqss() I've tried variants of requireNamespace too without success. If I understand properly model.Matrix is from MatrixModels but it calls sparse.model.matrix which is part of Matrix, and it is the latter function that I'm not

I've been playing with a quincunx animation in R 1.2.2 and would like to have finer control over the speed of the animation. I know that I can use system("sleep 1") on unix systems at least, but it would be nice to have something like pause(.01).

I've had a play with this and, due to my own short-comings, remain none the wiser. In particular, I'm not sure what value of 'spar' is consistent with the magic lambda=1/1600 for quarterly data. I initially interpreted spar as lambda and tried setting spar=1/1600. This results in almost no smoothing while spar=1600 causes an error. The smooth.spline function seems to want
