This question has little or nothing to do with R; as usual I'm simply hoping to take advantage of the great depth of knowledge and expertise in the R community. Anyone who is interested in replying should send email directly to me (rolf at math.unb.ca) and not to this list. To get to my question: In a two person zero-sum game, the value of the game to the row player is v_r = max min

NaturallySpeaking under wine is working remarkably well considering the amount of complexity present in both systems.. When I use it, it's just smoother and feels better than NaturallySpeaking under Windows. My undying gratitude is extended to all of those that helped. Here's what doesn't work so well. Audio. Specifically, vxi-b200 USB microphone In order to use it, I need to turn off

I had asked for a way of gracefully exiting from a dynamically loaded subroutine (possibly several levels down) --- without knocking R over --- if an error condition was detected. As usual, if there is anything at all reasonable in the question, and if there exists an answer, Brian Ripley will tell you the answer. Since Prof. Ripley's answer was already posted to this list, I won't

As mentioned three days ago, the R-help mailing list is now only accepting postings from subscribers (more or less) unconditionally. Non-subscriber postings are currently held for moderation which we would like to "out source". To this end, we look for volunteers who are willing to share the load (I estimate about 10 minutes a day in total). One possibility would be to have a moderator

I have a Master's student working on a project which involves estimating parameters of a certain model via maximum likelihood, with the maximization being done via optim(). A phenomenon has occurred which I am at a loss to explain. If we use certain pairs of starting values for optim(), it simply returns those values as the ``optimal'' values, although they are definitely not

Thanks to Rolph Turner and Jason Turner ... I guess I was too excited about getting back on the list after an absense of several years ... I'll be a little more thoughtful about the problem before posting next time, and a little less trigger-happy with the "Send" e-mail button. Never-the-less, much appreciated. - Mohamed -----Original Message----- From: Rolf Turner

A student (at another university) has contacted me for advice about a good text dealing with the general linear model (which she needs to know about for her thesis defense). [One might say that if she used the GLM in her thesis she ***ought*** to know about the concept already, but ought to and does are very different, so ne'er mind.] The lady is an engineering student so I guess she'd

A colleague here at U.N.B. has provided a counter example for me. So the conjecture (that the existance of the ``product limit'' is implied by the existance of the limits involving the first three powers) is false. If anyone is interested in the details, they should contact me off-list. My apologies for confusing everyone with my initial mis-statement of the problem. cheers,

OK, that "VOIP dialtone?" thread was getting really out of hand, so I'll condense my answers into one big ugly message: 1) 911 service. Yes, that is one of three reasons to keep your PSTN line. The other two reasons are: Inbound calls from local callers still should work on a POTS line, for now. You can't find VOIP providers in most area codes, so you'll most

I've built R functions to ``effect'' a particular distribution, and would like to find out if that distribution is already ``known'' by an existing name. (I.e. suppose it were called the ``Melvin'' distribution --- I've built dmelvin, pmelvin, qmelvin, and rmelvin as it were, but I need a real name to substitute for melvin.) The distribution is really just a toy

Why don't you implement and uplad the package to CRAN?

Apologies for the off-topic question; as usual I'm trying to draw upon the unparalleled knowledge and sagacity of the r-help list. Please reply off-list if you can help me out. A collaborator of mine found a formula we need, on sheets which he had photocopied out of a book, some years ago. He cannot remember which book (he's getting to be as senile and forgetful as I am, poor bloke!).

Hello Chris, I was implying you are capable enough to implement it, while you have already identify a research paper. If there is no package out there, uploading to CRAN would help future user too. I am more than happy to help if you want to implement from scratch. Best, Mehmet On 27 June 2017 at 17:45, Chris Buddenhagen <cbuddenhagen at gmail.com> wrote: > Does anyone know of some

In what way does reminding people that packages exist because others just like them contributed something count as being uncivil? Terse, perhaps, since it bypassed the obvious suggestion to use a search engine, but not rude. -- Sent from my phone. Please excuse my brevity.

It's probably toadally elementary (and, like, duhhhhh) but I can't figure out why the following doesn't work: curve(function(x){qnorm(x,4,25)},from=0,to=1) I get the error: Error in xy.coords(x, y, xlabel, ylabel, log) : 'x' and 'y' lengths differ But if I do foo <- function(x){qnorm(x,4,25)} curve(foo,from=0,to=1) it goes like a train. Also

There are many possible responses to the question "Is there a package to do X." Some that I can imagine are: * Yes, see package Y... * No, I am familiar with all 10000 packages and there isn't... * Silence (because no one who is paying attention is familiar with the one that exists) * Use a search engine... * You are a jerk because you did not use a search engine * Packages exist

Thanks I too wondered about the tone. The first suggestion was that I should "google it" and the second, write my own code. I think if I did I'd be reinventing the wheel, (and it'd be a big challenge for me). Also, I have been searching and not found such code, despite evidence that it has been coded (just not sure if it was in R). BTW I did write to authors of the article I

Does anyone know of some code, and examples that implement game theory/Nash equilibrium hypothesis testing using existing packages like igraph/statnet or similar?

I am recruiting a ROR developer to join my team to bring a fairly well researched/thought out project to a beta state (and beyond!) ROR experience with commercial (preferably including familiarity with payments technology and interfaces) sites would be prefered, although what I really need is some new blood and guts to kickstart things. Working knowledge of unix internals (specifically
