Hi, I need help regarding estimating a linear model where restrictions are imposed on the coefficients. An example is as follows: Y_{t+2}=a1Y_{t+1} + a2 Y_t + b x_t + e_t restriction a1+ a2 =1 Is there a function or a package that can estimate the coefficient of a model like this? I want to estimate the coefficients rather than test them. Thank you for your help Ahmad Abu Hammour --------------

Is there a way to add residuals to plots produced by plot.gam in the mgcv package? I'm looking for something like what you get using resid=T in Splus plot.gam.

Would anyone be able to provide insight for the following question, please? Setting: estimation of prediction intervals for age-period-cohort models using GAMs (rate ~ s(age,period)) Method: bootstrap (Davison and Hinkley, 1997) Issue: standardisation of the residuals for resampling requires an adjustment using the diagonals of the hat matrix. Is there a simple way to get the hat values out of a

I hope this is the right place for my question, my apologise if it is not. I am a long time Mac/UNIX user and my local machine is a Mac. At present I run an orphan version of R which a worried out of (*****). On reflection I guess I'd better not say, but it changed my life. It is howerver a little out of date ( say 0.6ish) So the obvious question, do I move to MacLinux or is there likely

To R users: I am running an R program with .Fortran() calls, and discovered that the memory, as reported by gc(), continues to grow with new loop iterations. I hadn't been able to find information on how to 'destroy' objects in earlier loops to keep the program size from continuous growth; calling rm() to remove some what I thought to be large arrays didn't seem to help. Any

Hi Allstaters, Does anybody know if the R package can fit Generalised Additive Models?.

Dear R-users, I've a question regardiing multiple linear regression. Is it possible to regress a function of the type y=b0+b1*x1+b2*x2 constraining the partial derivatives dy/dx1 and dy/dx2 to be greater than 0 ??? Thank you very much for any possible suggestion.

Hello everybody, I think my question has been asked before but I am posing it once again since I need it. Is there any way to find the rank of a matrix in R or Splus? ______________________ Indrajit SenGupta Department Of Statistics St. Xavier's College Calcutta University mailto:indra_calisto at yahoo.com mailto:indrajitsg at vsnl.net

I'm trying to figure out a good way to smooth binary data. The ideal approach appears to be the "sm.logit" function in library "sm", but I haven't had success with it. Below, is some code illustrating what I've come up with so far, but I'm hoping there is a better approach. I'm using R 1.2 (development) under Windows 98. -Bill library(MASS) data(birthwt)

Hi, Is there any difference in the gam() function in R and Splus? I just tried to do an Ace Plot (plotting the result of the gam() ) on a dataset. R gave me four (the data set has one response and four explanatory variables) ace plot with perfectly straight lines. I kind of felt that it is highly unlikely, so I tried it in Splus. Using the exact commands Splus gave me four completely

Hi helpteam, may you send me the exact syntax for getting the estimated degrees of freedom for a gam? I tried to do it by name <- edf(gam_name) but this didn't work.

Has anyone got a function for smooth monotonic interpolation of a univariate function? I'm after something like the NAG function PCHIM which does monotonic Hermite interpolation. Alternatively, montononic cubic spline interpolation. Please reply directly.

Dear List I am using R with mcgv package to model spatial variation in density estimates of dorcas gazelle in Sinai. I have 59 points of data and 4 explanatory variables(distance from mountain edge, camel presence, Latitude & Longitude). I want to test the model fir via bootstraping. I have used the jacknife bootstraping but it have the limitation of allowing only 58 trials. I tried to use the

Hi R Users, I am very new to R and would like to do something quick if possible, please help! Suppose I have a data set of y versus x, how can I generate a smoothing line of y versus x (for example, using loess) and at the same time, generate a pair of confidence intervals for the smoothing or mean plus/minus standard deviation?

Dear R users, Using the library(mgcv) and running R under MacOSX, I have fitted a generalised additive model with binomial errors in order to check the linearity of two continuous variables ap2mm and diffdaysm in a glm: > mymodel.gam <- gam(diedhos~ s(ap2mm) + Dweekm + s(diffdaysm) + Dweekm:diffdaysm + ap2mm:Dweekm, binomial) I would like postscript gam plots for the two smoothed

I noticed that there is no generalised additive model functions in R (1.1.1) ... is there a package that implements them?

Hi there, I'm using R1.0.1 Windows 98. This file contains some inputs and an aov function code. Can someone check it for me? Somehow I got completely different answer when typing them in R and in Splus. Splus gives me this: > summary( Turnip.aov ) Error: Blocks Df Sum of Sq Mean Sq F Value Pr(F) Residuals 3 163.7367 54.57891 Error: Plots %in% Blocks

To whom it may concern, I am a student at Macaleste College, and next semester Macalester is going to offer a course for CellBio that is mainly statistically based. For the most part the students will be using R for analysis. The problem is there will be some simple differential equations for the students to solve.

Hello I'm upgrading from R-1.4.1 to R-1.5.1, locally on my Linux PC running Debian. after running 'configure' this is what I get (just in case it helps figuring out what follows later...)
