Dear all, Has anyone written functions to compute (and ideally project / plot onto a plane) confidence ellipsoids for q linear model parameters, q > 2 ?

To Windows R users: The binary build of R that I uploaded on Tuesday contained errors in the compiled HTML help files and some of the PDF versions of the manuals. In particular, the index was missing from the CHM files, and the table of contents was missing from at least one of the manuals. I've since found the error in my setup, and have rebuilt the distribution. I uploaded it to CRAN

Dear all, I am trying to avoid the warnings produced by: > x <- -2:2 > log(x) [1] NaN NaN -Inf 0.0000000 0.6931472 Warning message: production de NaN in: log(x) I thought that using ifelse would be a solution, but it is not the case: > ifelse(test = x < 0, yes = NaN, no = log(x)) [1] NaN NaN -Inf 0.0000000 0.6931472 Warning message: production

Sorry if this is obvious, but my S skills aren't great and I haven't been able to find it documented anywhere. I want to write a new function for use with lme objects; the function will simply calculate an ICC (aka "rho") for each level of a mixed-effects model. What I need for this is pretty simple: (c(var1..varn, residual)) / sum(c(var1..varn, residual)) where var1..varn

I have a number of plots that I'm trying to do using the lattice package, unfortunately, they involve Posix values. A small sample of the data is as follows: Time TC.1 <Snipped> 1 2003-04-24 13:29:15 26.61 2 2003-04-24 13:29:30 26.48 3 2003-04-24 13:30:00 26.53 4 2003-04-24 13:30:30 27.85 <Snipped> where str(data) `data.frame': 415 obs. of

thanks a lot Renaud. but i was interested in Finney's fiducial confidence intervals of LD50 so to obtain comparable results with SPSS. But your reply leads me to the next question: does anybody know what is the best method (asymptotic, bootstrap etc.) for calculating confidence intervals of LD50? i could "get rid" of Finney's fiducial confidence intervals but

Dear all, 1. How can I compute the intersecting area between 2 polygons ? 2. I have polygons with coordinates in decimal degrees (i.e. 13 deg 30 min = 13.5 decimal degrees). I want to compute their area and get the results in square meters or square kiometers. Can anyone give me a conversion coefficient or a pointer where I can find this information (sorry for this off topic question) ? Thanks

Please, forgive my ignorance on statistics, but I have a rather simple question concerning AIC. Small values of AIC mean good fit of the model. How about negative values of AIC? Is a model with AIC=0.5 considered to have better fit than a model with AIC=-500? I couldn't find anything explaining this in the documentation or any elementary statistics textbook that I have at my disposal. Thanks

I've been using par() to check the graphics parameters associated with both plot(<fitted linear model>) and plot(<grouped data object>). AFAIK the only differences are in the $cxy, $usr, $xaxp, and $yaxp parameters but the background color for the grouped data plot is grey while the linear model plot has a white background. When I've tried par(bg = "white") prior to

Hello R-users, I'm using the boot's library. I have two questions: 1. I execute for example data<-rnorm(100) boot(data,mean,500) and I obtain 500 equal bootstrap samples of data. Why? 2. I need to calculate the bootstrap confidence intervals for a statistic, but when I use the function boot.ci it shows the error message: Error in if

In Baron and Li's "Notes on the use of R for psychology experiments and questionnaires" http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/rpsych.htm they describe a balanced data set for a drug experiment: "... a test of drug treatment effect by one between-subject factor: group (two groups of 8 subjects each) and two within-subject factors: drug (2 levels) and dose (3 levels). "

hi, during a for(i in 1:xx]) loop I always newly calculate a vector (e.g. tmp<-c(a,b,c,d,e) ) now i need that vector to be attached at the bootom of a matrix (or data.frame). e.g. m<-matrix() for(i in 1:5]){ #some calculations for a,b,c,d,e a<- ... b<- ... c<- .. .... tmp<-c(a,b,c,d,e) ??? now I need to attach this tmp to the matrix m ??? } i couldn't get rbind

Dear all, I have computed a digital terrain model from a set of points (x, y, z) using the function interp() in package akima. I want to predict flooded surfaces given target values of z. I can display the flooded surfaces with contour() or image(), but I don't know how to get the polygons delimiting the surfaces. Did anyone write a function for this purpose ? Best regards, Renaud --

hello I make a subroutine that give-me a (mathematical) function in string format. I would like transform this string into function ( R function ). thanks for any tips. cleber #e.g. fun_String = "-100*x1 + 0*x2 + 100*x3" fun <- function(x1,x2,x3){ return( ############ evaluation( fun_String ) ############ ) True String mathematical function :-( :-( > nomes [1]

Dear R-Helpers, Is there a way to draw shaded (filled) polygons in panel graphs produced by xyplot ? I made different trials (see below) with polygon() and grid.polygon() but polygons are not drawn (probably for the same reason that prevents the use of lines, points, etc. in xyplot panels).
