Hello All: I am looking for you help. I am trying to replicate the results of an example found in Alan Agresti's "Categorical Data Analysis" on pages 267-269. The example is one of a 2 x 2 cross-classification table of ordinal counts: job satisfaction and income. I am able to get Agresti's results for the independence model (G^2 = 12.03 with df = 9) assuming as he does that

I have been tinkering with mosaicplot() and friends as a way of learning R. As part of this, I've written a pair.table() method for mosaic matrices, and would like to extend mosaicplot to work with loglin and logln (MASS) objects. I'm using R 1.4.0 on Win 98. I've been trying to figure out the formula interface, and think there's a bug, but not sure how to find it, yet alone fix

Dear R-helpers, Im trying to fit a Log-linear model on a dataset with bird counts from 60 sites over 14 years for 12 months each (factors for the models). One of the aims is to predict the missing values in this dataset with model predictions. Ive first tried to work with GLM's, that worked fine except for models with one or more interaction-terms. The GLMs run, run .. for hours. So I

I am fairly new to log-linear modelling, so as opposed to trying to fit modells, I am still trying to figure out how it actually works - hence I am looking at the interpretation of parameters. Now it seems most people skip this part and go directly to measuring model fit, so I am finding very few references to actual parameters, and am of course clear on the fact that their choice is irelevant for

Summary: loglin will fail if there is a global variable called c. I have fixed this for 0.64.2 and 0.65.

Dear all, sorry to bother you all with this but I've been trying to use the loglm in MASS package (v2.8.0) and cannot get any sensible output. I'm wondering am I doing something very foolish or missing something obvious. For example, I tried the documentation help(loglm) example - here's the code # Case 1: frequencies specified as an array. sapply(minn38,

The null loglinear model is an intercept-only model for log frequency, log(f) = \mu For a one-way table the test of the null model is the same as the chisq.test. This can be fit using loglin(), but I don't think there is any way to specify this using MASS::loglm > t1<- margin.table(Titanic,1) > t1 Class 1st 2nd 3rd Crew 325 285 706 885 > loglin(t1, NULL) 0

Hello, I am searching for an R-Package that does an exentsion of the Mantel-Haenszel test for ordinal data as described in Liu and Agresti (1996) "A Mantel-Haenszel type inference for cummulative odds ratios". in Biometrics. I see packages such as Epi that perform it for binary data and derives a varaince for it using the Robbins and Breslow variance method. As well as another pacakge

Hi I would like to analyse an ordinal categorical variable. I know how I can analyse a nominal categorical variable (with multinom or if there are only two levels with glm). Does somebody know which command I need in R to analyse an ordinal categorical variable? I want to describe the variable y with the variables x1,x2,x3 and x4. So my model looks like: y ~ x1+x2+x3+x4. y: ordinal factor

Dear All, We are about to purchase the second edition of Agresti's "Categorical Data Analysis" (my old copy of the first ed. of that wonderful book is falling apart). I would appreciate suggestions about other comparable books which, if possible, have examples using R/S code (instead of SAS).

Dear R-help community, I am working with multidimensional contingency tables and I am having trouble getting loglm to run on all dimensions without typing out each dimension. I have generated random data and provided output for the results I want below: d1.c1 <- rnorm(20, .10, .02) d1.c2 <- rnorm(20, .10, .02) d2.c1 <- rnorm(20, .09, .02) d2.c2 <- rnorm(20, .09, .02) d3.c1 <-

Hello, I am almost new in R, so perhaps my question will be silly. I try to use R for analyzing capture-recapture data in epidemiology. A cancer registry has different sources of patients. We know in each list, patients already known in all other list. The aim is to use capture-recapture models for estimating the number of patients unknow of all the sources. Because no order in sources, one

Hi Peter and others, If it helps, I wrote a small function glm.scoretest() for the statmod package on CRAN to compute score tests from glm fits. The score test for adding a covariate, or any set of covariates, can be extracted very neatly from the standard glm output, although you probably already know that.

Hi all, I've been running loglinear models for three-way tables: one of the variables having three levels, and the other two having two levels each. An example looks like below: > yes.no <- c("Yes","No") > switch <- c("On","Off") > att <- c("BB","AA","CC") > L <- gl(2,1,12,yes.no) > T <-

Bug report: there is a problem with loglm (or some underlying code) when used with updating within a function. For example, this code works as expected, when used outside a function: ------------------------------------------------- library(MASS)

Hello All R Users, Function loglm() in library MASS can be cajoled to accomodate structural zeros in a cross-classification table. An example from Fienberg demonstrates how this can be done. My question is: Can the function glm() perform the same task? Can glm() estimate a log-linear model with fixed zeros like loglm()? Thanks for your help, Andrew ## Fienberg, The Analysis of Cross-Classified

Hi, I'm analyzing experimental results where two different events ("T1" and "T2") can occur or not during an experiment. I made my experiments with one factor ("Substrate") with two levels ("Sand" and "Clay"). I would like to know wether or not "Substrate" affects the occurrence probability of the two events. Moreover, for each

Dear R specialists, I have a multivariate statistics question that I want to submit to the R community (which conveys a very good statistical knowledge). I need to perform an optimal scaling based on a discrete variable and an ordinal variable. The discrete variable, Area, defines a geographical area. The ordinal variable, EducationLevel, describes the education level of individuals (the

Hello, I'm planning to start using R. Before getting into it, I'd like to ask a couple of questions. Does R carry out loglinear model analysis? That is, will it provide the chi-squared goodness of fit test statistic for a given hierarchical loglinear model? Maybe even do a model selection procedure (like Brown's two-step procedure, or forward/backward selection)? Thanks
