similar to: Fitting a distribution involving a cusum

Dear friends: I have just read an article entitled " Monitoring of nosocomial invasive aspergillosis and early evidence of an outbreak using cumulative sum tests (CUSUM)", which is published in "Clinical Microbiology and Infection". We have great need to estimate the fluctuation of incidence of IFI in our hospital. But I don't know the details of the stastical method and

Dear all, I'm trying to estimate the parameters of a lognormal distribution fitted from some data. The tricky thing is that my data represent the time at which I recorded certain events. However, in many cases I don't really know when the event happened. I' only know the time at which I recorded it as already happened. Therefore I want to fit the lognormal from the cumulative

Dear all, Does anyone know where there is R or S code for the CUSUM SQUARED structural breaks approach? (Brown, Durban and Evans, 1975 - used in Pesaran and Timmerman, 2002) The problem is that the breaks package only appears to offer the standard 'unsquared' CUSUM, even though it appears most think it is inferior to the squared version. It might appear to be a relatively simple

Dear R Community: I am working on a public health early warning system, and I see that the qcc package allows for CUSUM and other statistical quality tests but I am not sure if my project is a good match for qcc functions as written. Any advice you may have is very much appreciated. I have four years worth of daily counts of emergency room admissions for different conditions (e.g. respiratory,

Hello R users: I'm trying now to apply the package strucchange to see whether there is a structural change in linear regression. I have noted the following problem that arises in my case with recursive-based CUSUM: generic function recresid() in efp() generates an error, since (probably) it cannot compute the inverse matrix of (X^(i-1)^T)*(X^(i-1)) at each step (i-1), because the matrix

Hi. I have a vector of quantiles and a vector of probabilites that, when plotted, look very like the gamma cumulative distribution function. I can guess some shape and scale parameters that give a similar result, but I'd rather let the parameters be estimated. Is there a direct way to do this in R? Thanks, Tim. week <- c(0,5,6,7,9,11,14,19,39) fraction <-

Hello Everybody, I am running R 2.2.0 with Windows XP i am trying to fit nonlinear differential equation to data sets which looks like this: Week N C 0 1 1 1 5 6 2 6.2 12.2 3 59 71.2 4 39 110.2 5 38 148.2 6 44 192.2 7 20.4 212.6 8 19.4 232 9 34.2 266.2 10 35.4 301.6 and i need to fit these data to the following diff equation: dNdt=a*N-b*N*C, dCdt=N^2, Where a=birth rate, b=death rate and N=

Dear all, first I would like to tell you that I've been using R for two days... (so, you can predict my knowledge of the language!). Yet, I managed to implement some stuff related with the Long-Tail model [1]. I did some tests with the data in table 1 (from [1]), and plotted figure 2 (from [1]). (See R code and CSV file at the end of the email) Now, I'm stuck in the nonlinear regression

Dear all, I need to plot an cumulative distribution plot of a variable and then to fit a distribution to that, probably a weibull or lognormal. I have plotted the ecdf as > plot(ecdf(x)) but I haven't managed to fit the distribution. I have as well attached the data. I would appreciate if you could help me on that. Thank you. Kind regards Maria -------------- next part --------------

Is it possible to calculate partial sums in R? I have the equation: Px = (k / x) * SUM_{from j >= x to infinity} Pj x=1,2,3,... where k is a parameter, Pj is the Poisson probability, and x is a rank. (This is for rank-frequency data.) In other words, the frequency of an entity at rank x depends on the sum of frequencies of all entities at ranks j > x. Many thanks, Andrew

I am trying to fit a nonlinear regression to infiltration data in order to determine saturated hydraulic conductivity and matric pressure. The original equation can be found in Bagarello et al. 2004 SSSAJ (green-ampt equation for falling head including gravity). I am also VERY new to R and to nonlinear regressions. I have searched the posts, but am still unable to determine why my data come up

I am trying to fit a rank-frequency distribution with 3 unknowns (a, b and k) to a set of data.

I need to write a C# program to create and display Cusum chart from any of the packages, spc, qcc or strucchange. Issues: 1-The data resides in a MS SQL Database. The C# program will handle obtaining the data for the requisite types of samples. Assistance needed on: 1-How can I call the cusum capabilities of any of the above packages and pass the data to the cusum function and plot? 2-How

Good Afternoon, I am currently writing a program to perform a cusum with v-mask and since I am experiencing a few problems, was wondering if there is something similar in existance?

Dear R-help list members, I have the following question concerning the strucchange()-package: is it possible to get the boundaries for one-sided (upper / lower) CUSUM and MOSUM tests? Thank you in advance. Julia

Can someone help me understand simulations of a one-sided Cusum? Consider the following: Q[i] = max(0, Q[i-1]+z[i]), z[i] ~ N(offset, 1), with Q[0] = FIR (fast initial response). With offset < 0, mean{Q[i] for fixed i averaged over many simulations} approaches an asymptote as i -> Inf. In simulations with abs(offset) small and FIR close to the asymptote, Q[i]

I need to store each matrix generated in a loop. I've been working with the CUSUM algorithm and I've been trying to implement it in R. What I need to do with my dataset is to create 1000 randomized datasets and cumulative sum them all and store all of those randomized CUSUMed datasets for further analysis and creation of the simulation envelope in the CUSUM chart. But I can't manage
