Dear R help, I am trying solve an MLE convergence problem: I would like to estimate four parameters, p1, p2, mu1, mu2, which relate to the probabilities, P1, P2, P3, of a multinomial (trinomial) distribution. I am using the mle2() function and feeding it a time series dataset composed of four columns: time point, number of successes in category 1, number of successes in category 2, and

Dear R Help, I have two nested negative log-likelihood functions that I am optimizing with the spg function [BB package]. I would like to perform model selection on these two objective functions using AIC (and possibly anova() too). However, the spg() function returns a list and I need a fitted model object for AIC(), ICtab() [bbmle package], or anova(). How can I perform AIC-based model

Windows 7, R 2.12.1 Colleagues, I am trying to understand the n.for.2means function. The code below is a copy of the function (renamed to n.for.2means.js). I have inserted a single line of code towards the bottom of the function which uses the cat function to print the value of n1. You will note the value (preceded by stars) is printed as 1. The function (1) prints a lot of output without any

hello: I have 3 data.frame objects. First df object: Of dim (149,31). Columns 2:31 are marked as T1..T14 and N1..N16.

Hi all, I appreciate the help this list has given me before. I have a question which has been perplexing me. I have been working on doing a Bayesian calculating inserting studies sequentially after using a non-informative prior to get a meta-analysis type result. I created a function using three iterations of this, my code is below. I insert prior mean and precision (I add precision manually

Hello, I am a new R user and trying to learn how to implement the mahalanobis function to measure the distance between to 2 population centroids. I have used STATISTICA to calculate these differences, but was hoping to learn to do the analysis in R. I have implemented the code as below, but my results are very different from that of STATISTICA, and I believe I may not have interpreted the help

I believe the problem is here: cor1 <- cor(x1, y1, method="spearman") cor2 <- cor(x2, y2, method="spearman") The x's and y's are not looked for in data (i.e. NSE) but in the environment where the function was defined, which is standard evaluation. Change the above to: cor1 <- with(d, cor(x1, y1, method="spearman")) cor2 <- with(d, cor(x2, y2,

Given four known and fixed vectors, x1,x2,x3,x4, I am trying to generate a fifth vector,z, with specified known and fixed partial correlations. How can I do this? In the past I have used the following (thanks to Greg Snow) to generate a fifth vector based on zero order correlations---however I'd like to modify it so that it can generate a fifth vector with specific partial

Hi, The code below is giving me this error message: Error in while (err > eps) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed In addition: Warning messages: 1: In dnbinom(x, size, prob, log) : NaNs produced 2: In dnbinom(x, size, prob, log) : NaNs produced I know from the help files that for dnbinom "Invalid size or prob will result in return value NaN, with a warning", but I am not able

R-Experts, Here below my R code working without error message but I don't get the results I am expecting. Here is the result I get: [1] "All values of t are equal to 0.28611928397257 \n Cannot calculate confidence intervals" NULL If someone knows how to solve my problem, really appreciate.

Hi! All, I have 2 correlation matrices of 4000x4000 both with same row names and column names say cor1 and cor2. I have extracted some information from 1st matrix cor1 which is something like this: rowname colname cor1_value a b 0.8 b a 0.8 c f 0.62 d k 0.59 - - -- -

By accident, I left out the lines defining n1 and n2. Here it is as a function. Peter B. hotelling <- function(d1,d2){ k <- ncol(d1) n1 <- nrow(d1) n2 <- nrow(d2) xbar1 <- apply(d1,2,mean) xbar2 <- apply(d2,2,mean) dbar <- xbar2-xbar1 v <- ((n1-1)*var(d1)+(n2-1)*var(d2))/(n1+n2-2) t2 <- n1*n2*dbar%*%solve(v)%*%dbar/(n1+n2) f <-

Dear All, I may look ridiculous, but I am puzzled at the behavior of the nls with a fitting I am currently dealing with. My data are: x N 1 346.4102 145.428256 2 447.2136 169.530634 3 570.0877 144.081627 4 721.1103 106.363316 5 894.4272 130.390552 6 1264.9111 36.727069 7 1788.8544 52.848587 8 2449.4897 25.128742 9 3464.1016 7.531766 10 4472.1360 8.827367 11

Hello all, I believe this can be done using bootstrap, but I am wondering if there is some other way that might be used to tackle this. #Let's say I have two pairs of samples: set.seed(100) s1 <- rnorm(100) s2 <- s1 + rnorm(100) x1 <- s1[1:99] y1 <- s2[1:99] x2 <- x1 y2 <- s2[2:100] #And both yield the following two correlations: cor(x1,y1) # 0.7568969 (cor1) cor(x2,y2)

I am using JRI (Java R Interface) library in order to call R from within my Java application. But since the "rmu1" and "rmu2" ,see the following code, are objects of type S4 once i run the application the value of Null will be returned for both of them. On this regard, i would appreciate it if anyone can tell me how i am going to display and/ or convert these objects to Java

Hi, i would to know, if someone have ever write the code to estimate the parameter (mixing proportion, mean, a var/cov matrix) of a mixture of two multivariate normal distribution. I wrote it and it works (it could find mean and mixing proportion, if I fix the var/cov matrix), while if I fix anything, it doesn't work. My suspect is that when the algorithm iterates the var/cov matrix, something
