Hello, I was wondering whether anyone out there knows of the solution to a problem that I'm having with the Fields package. I am getting the error message when I try and run the fields function tps (thin plate splines). Namely, for two different sets of variables, I get: > bout <- Tps( bvolcap, bdsm) Error in svd(tempM) : error 159 in dsvdc > wout <- Tps( wvolcap, wdsm)

Dear WizaRds, having met some of you in person in Vienna, I think even more fondly of this community and hope to continue on this route. It was great talking with you and learning from you. Thank you. I am trying to work through an artificial example in post stratification. This is my dataset: library(survey) age <- data.frame(id=1:8, stratum=rep(

Just a general question concerning the woolf test (package vcd), when we have stratified data (2x2 tables) and when the p.value of the woolf-test is below 0.05 then we assume that there is a heterogeneity and a common odds ratio cannot be computed? Does this mean that we have to try to add more stratification variables (stratify more) to make the woolf-test p.value insignificant? Also in the

Hello everyone,   I am a very new user of R and I have a query about the cuminc function in the package cmprsk. In particular I would like to verify that I am interpreting the output correctly when we have a stratification variable.   Hypothetical example:   group : fair hair, dark hair fstatus: 1=Relapse, 2=TRM, 0=censored strata: sex (M or F)   Our data would be split into:   Fair, male,

Dear WizaRds, Working through sampling theory, I tried to comprehend the concept of stratification and apply it with Survey to a small example. My question is more of theoretic nature, so I apologize if this does not fully fit this board's intention, but I have come to a complete stop in my efforts and need an expert to help me along. Please help: age<-matrix(c(rep(1,5), rep(2,3),

I have almost the same setup (NT4 domain, with W2K3 Terminal Server).... I am using Suse 9.2, Samba 3.0.21b, with winbindd on a generic x86 server. No special package configurations...just the rpms from samba for Suse. I do have the same problems. -- I have home directories mapped for users. When I log into the Term Server with RDP my home directory on my Samba box comes up just fine.. What

I sent a request for help on the 21st of January....I waited.....I sent it again on the 24th....I waited.... I sent the same question crafted differently on the 25th.... I waited. The help on this list is horrible..... I am sorry for whining. I talk up open source regularly and I help when I can..... but, the claim of "better" support from the open source community because there are so

Hi all I am hoping to use the SamplingStrata R package for a dataset describing a population of businesses wherein I have information on the type of business, as well as, for designated employment number bands, number of employees and business turnover information. So in this context the employment number bands can be described as micro, small, medium and large, i.e. size of business. Hence I

I want to draw boxplot where the geom_points are displayed based on "ERBB2.MUT" subset and they should be displayed in the right box (based both on the "ERBB2.2064" field and "ERBB2_Status"). However, given my command I currently only see "red" points corresponding to "MUT" subset in one straight line corresponding to only "ERBB2.2064"

1. There is no question here. 2. In any case, this is not a code writing service, so a question about how to code models without any offering of your own attempts might not be replied to anyway. 3. For what sorts of queries you might expect replies to, please read and follow the posting guide below. Also, if you do post, please post in plaint text, not html, as the latter (especially code) can

Hi R-users!! I have some trouble with the survey pakage and i would be very glad if you can give me an advice. I have a sample from a survey where household were interviewed. The sample has 4 criteria on which the stratification was based: REGION, SIZE OF HOUSEHOLD, SIZE OF LOCALITY, AGE OF HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD. Since i don't have the whole information in each cell of the cross

Hi Bert thank you for the reply. Not a coding query as such. Just wanted some pointers towards how to handle strata using the package in my situation, i.e. business type X business size with information for count and financial turnover. many thanks On 31 October 2017 at 14:37, Bert Gunter <bgunter.4567 at gmail.com> wrote: > 1.

Terry - your example didn't demonstrate the problem because the variable that interacted with strata (zed) was not a factor variable. But I had stated the problem incorrectly. It's not that there are too many strata terms; there are too many non-strata terms when the variable interacting with the stratification factor is a factor variable. Here is a simple example, where I have

Hi R-users, Can anyone tell me where can i find info about they way how post stratification weights are calculated when i have an already stratified survey design, especially in Survey Package (but any theoretical material would do me just fine) ? Thank you and have a nice day! --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Using R version 1.8.1 for Windows, I obtain an error message using the following code. The data frame was constructed in the counting process style, where V1 is the start time, V2 is the stop time, and V3 is the censoring indicator. There are no zero-length time intervals. Variable V4 is the stratification factor (gender: F,M). S<-Surv(V1,V2,V3) fit<-survfit(S ~ V4,data=test.dat)

>Hello, I am hoping for assistance in regards to examining the contribution of stratified variables in a cox regression. A previous post by Terry Therneau noted that "That is the point of a strata; you are declaring a variable to NOT be proportional hazards, and thus there is no single "hazard ratio" that describes it". Given this purpose of stratification, in the

Good afternoon! I'm trying to use the Survey package for a stratified sample which has 4 criteria on which the stratification is based. I would like to get the corrected weights and for every element i get a weight of 1 E.g: tipping design <- svydesign (id=~1, strata= ~regiune + size_loc + age_rec_hhh + size_hh, data= tabel) and then weights(design) gives

Are there any gotcha's..... I am currently using winbindd and very successfully integrating my Samba boxes with the NT4 domain structure. The admin who is doing the migration (A corporate person not used to Linux at all) is already nervous about the migration since it involves Linux. Usernames are not supposed to change..but, the authentication domain is going to be a completely new

Folks, Not even a peep. Did I ask the wrong question or am I on the wrong list? I don't mind pointers to more information.... I own both the recent books on Samba 3 and they are very good, but I seem to be missing something. Anyways...
