Hello, I have a data frame whose columns are factors with numeric levels and I want to convert the columns to numeric so that I can treat the data frame as a matrix. I found a way of doing this but would like to know if there is an easier way. My way is: M <- matrix(ncol=ncol(df) , nrow=nrow(df) , as.numeric(as.matrix(df))) where 'df' is the data frame. I am wondering if there is

Hello again, First I want to thank all the people who answered my question about line width in graphs. I promise I will learn the 'par' help page by heart for the end of the month ! I now want to trace some ellipses to emphasize groups of data. I found how to trace circles with 'symbols()', but no ellipse. I'm planning on writing my own function based on

Hi all, I'm currently working with a dataset that has quite a few missing values and after some investigation I figured that multiple imputation is probably the best solution to handle the missing data in my case. I found several references to functions in S-Plus that perform multiple imputation (NORM, CAT, MIX, PAN). Does R have corresponding functions? I searched the archives but was not

The Design library has been fully ported to R except for Cox proportional hazards regression modeling (using Therneau's survival package) which will be available in about two weeks. It will take much longer to make all the example code executable, is it currently contains many examples for which data are not provided. Thanks to Xiao Gang Fan <xiao.gang.fan1 at libertysurf.fr> who

Hello I am sure this is elementary, but I can't figure it out..... I am using SAS v8.2 and R 1.4.1 on a Windows platform. I have a large (6 megabyte) file in .sd2 format. I want to import it into R. If necessary, I can create a smaller file, as I don't need all the variables that are in this file I downloaded the package foreign. I then tried to use PROC CPORT in SAS to create a

Dear lister Few months ago I posted a question about the drawing of a nomogram through R routines.

Hello R-user I want to compute a multiple regression but I would to include a check for collinearity of the variables. Therefore I would like to use a ridge regression. I tried lm.ridge() but I don't know yet how to get p-values (single Pr() and p of the whole model) out of this model. Can anybody tell me how to get a similar output like the summary(lm(...)) output? Or if there is

In a .First.lib I want to issue two require()s to insure that two other packages are loaded. But I want the package being loaded by .First.lib using library.dynam("mypackage",pkb,lib) to be higher in the search order than the two required packages, because I want to have a couple of functions from the two required packages overridden. What is the best way to do that? Thanks in advance

I am unclear on whether to run R CMD check pgkname as user or as root on Linux. When running as user, after all the latex, html, and man files are created, I get the following error message: Rdconv(): Couldn't open '': Permission denied Has anyone dealt with that message? When I run R CMD check a second time, all latex, html, etc. are recreated which takes quite a while. Is there

I am using GLM to calculate logit models based on cross-sectional data. I am now down to the hard work of making the results intelligible to very average readers. Is there any way to calculate a psuedo analoque to the R^2 in standard linear regression for use as a purely descriptive statistic of goodness of fit? Most of the readers of my report will be vaguely familiar and more comfortable with

Dear all, I'm trying to solve the following problem, and hoping to get some advise here from the group I have a dataframe in which the same sample was measured more than once on the same day. I would reorganize the dataframe to get a single value (mean /median) for one day Patient Day Sample Test A 1 A 23 A 1 A 36 A 5 B 44 A 5 B 23 B 2 C 10 B 2 C 5 mean Patient Day Sample Test.mean A

Hi. I've a dataframe with about 46000 women with about 500 cases (cancers). I want to define a case-cohort sampling scheme, matching by age and hospital centre. Is there anyone who has already written a code for that? It should be something similar to the stcacoh macro in Stata.

Not exactly an R question but.......... Does anyone have a dataset with a nice story behind it that would be suitable for regression analysis but is missing data in one or two covariates ? I am playing around with different missing data routines and need a nice dataset to play with. Thanks, Steve __________________________________________________ Yahoo! News - Today's headlines

i make me thoughts about a "advanced tabulation" package similar to commercial software products like Quantum or Wincross. Before i'm beginning to fight with coding - is in the mailing-List anybody doing something similar in the past and have a good starting point and/or suggestions for me ? My purpose ist to define for a dataset headers (i.e. sex,age-groupes..) which should

Dear list members, I have a statistical question, that doesn't belong to this list, and I apologise for that in advance but I would appreciate your help very much. Is there some convention for selecting the a level for significance testing in scientific (e.g. chemical processes) studies? Most people use the 0.05 level but I could not find a reference to justify this. Why not 0.01 or 0.1?

Hello, Does R have any capabilities (or are there any add on packages) which can do estimation of standard statistical models (means, regression, logistic regression, etc) which take into account not only weights (e.g. post-stratification weights) but also the sample design, such as stratification and clustering information (to compute a robust taylor linearized variance estimator, for

Hi, I've read in the past a thead in the R discussion list about the multi-valued type variable (what was called checklist). At the moment Gregory had intention to add some general code in his gregmisc package. I'm wondering if there's some general code / packages available ? A general class for taking account this type of variable would be very useful in the domain of survey

Hi, For computing correlation among variables in a matrix, I use cor( ), but for computing the p-values I'm using cor.test in the following way: cor.p <- function(X) { res <- matrix(0, ncol(X), ncol(X)) for (i in 1:ncol(X)) for (j in 1:ncol(X)) res[i, j]<- cor.test(X[, i], X[, j])$p.value rownames(res) <- colnames(res) <- colnames(X) res } I'm just wondering if there is a
