Sorry for the repeat. The PRESS statistic is defined as sum(y-yhat(i))^2, where yhat(i) denotes the ith predicted value using all the data except the ith case (as used typically in linear models).

I am using R-2-15-1 with latest version of RTools under Windows 7 on a 64bit machine. When trying to build a dll from a simple test program matm.f I get the following error: > R CMD SHLIB matm.f gfortran -O3 -mtune=core2 -c matm.f -o matm.o f951.exe: out of memory allocating 312 bytes make: *** [matm.o] Error 1 Can someone please help NJ ________________________________

I would like to plot two data sets (frequency (y-axis) of mean values for 0-1(x=axis)) on a single histogram for comparison. The hist() only allow the overlay of two histograms, and although barplot() allows beside=TRUE, it does not show frequency values (like hist) but rather all of the values. Is there any way that I can use the hist() to plot two data sets similar to the barplot(). Any help or

Dear UseRs I would like to show my students how to use "resampling" to solve the following simple problem: If a family has two children of which one is a boy, what is the probability that the other child is also a boy. The answer is (obviously) 1/3, and can be show easily using the usual methods. But I would like to get the students to think of resampling, by doing the following:

Hi Is it possible to use the rep command (or maybe some other "shortcut") to create a vector with the following format: 4 3 4 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 Any help is much appreciated.

Dear List In my short life as a beginning R-user i've encountered a following problem that i'm unable to solve myself: I have a database in MySQL containing table and field names as well as some data containing Polish accentuated characters (like ????), utf8-encoded. It works just fine with just any external query browser i can find, jdbc, odbc, native, whatever. Also mysql is happy

Hallo Is there an elegant way to do the following: Dataset consists of 2 variables: var1: some measurements, and var2: a grouping variable with two values, 1 and 2. There are (say) 10 measurements from group 1 and 15 measurements from group 2. The idea is to study the permutation distribution of mean(group 1) * mean(group2). One way would be to permute 1s and 2s and select the corresponding

Hi I have installed the new version 2.7.1, and get the following messages. Is there some way I can "fix it" ? I use SciViews as well, so the problem may be with one of the libraries that is loaded at start-up: Start-up: Loading required package: datasets Loading required package: utils Loading required package: grDevices Loading required package: graphics Loading required package:

I have a question regarding the package LOCFIT of C Loader. After fitting a smooth surface (y modeled by two regressors), I can't seem to find a nice way of making a perspective (or other 3d plot). The contours don't look quite so good. It is meant to be used as illustration of smoothing to my students in regression analysis. Could anybody perhaps assist me in producing a

Hi I think there was a built-in function (perhaps C-code) called "band_den_bin" in the base library (used for kernel density estimators). Is there a newer version of this function. I have an old routine using this but it won't run in the newer version of R. Any help is much appreciated. Jacob Jacob L van Wyk Dept of Statistics University of Johannesburg, APK Campus Box

Hi I have 3 vectors, say g1, g2 and f, where g1 and g2 contain the row and column indices of a matrix, with corresponding elements in f. How can I create a matrix containing the values in f ? For example: g1 g2 f 3 4 10 2 1 30 4 4 50 How can then get a matrix that looks as follows: 0 0 0 0 30 0 0 0 0 0 0 10 0 0 0 50 I am still learning R. I think reshape will

Hi I run R in Windows. Is there a simple way of changing the prompt symbol ">" to, say, "R>" ? (Not just for a temporary session, but every time R command window is opened.) The documentation of doing this is rather "sparse". Much appreciated for your assistance. Jacob Jacob L van Wyk Department of Statistics University of Johannesburg, APK P O Box 524

Hallo I am trying to use the package LocFit to follow the example given in an Introductory note of C Loader concerning density estimation. It involves the "geyser" dataset (107 observations on durations, inlc in the package). I have tried the following (using the latest version of R): fit.of <- locfit(~geyser,flim=c(1,6),alpha=c(0.15,0.9)) plot(fit.of,get.data=T,mpv=200) This

Thanks to Greg and Michael for their advice. I have tried all these possibilities (and other); nothing seems to work; I persistently get the message: In open.connection(con, "r") : cannot open: HTTP status was '407 Proxy Authentication Required' It seems as if "proxy authentication required" is causing the problem. It seems I have to set up an .Renviron file, but I am

I hope somebody can help. A student of mine is doing a study on Measurement Error models (errors-in-variables, total least squares, etc.). I have an old reference to a "multi archive" that contains leiv3: Programs for best line fitting with errors in both coordinates. (The date is October 1989, by B.D. Ripley et al.) I have done a search for something similar in R withour success. Has

Could somebody please assist with the problem I have now. At our university certain changes have been made to users regarding accessing the internet. I have re-installed the (current) version of R, using custom settings (for Windows XP), choosing amongst other things "Internet2" somewhere. Now, when I wish to install new packages, I first have to select a CRAN mirror. R gives me a list

I have just installed the latest versions of R and Tinn-R (running Windows XP prof.) R 2.11.0 Tinn-R version 2.3.5.2 Everything seems fine, except for the following: I usually do this: Open Tinn-R and click on the R icon to open R - this splits the screen into two parts horiozontally, with Tinn-R on top and R in the bottom window. My problem is simply this: By highlighting one line, and click the

I am trying to find studentized bootstrap intervals for the skewness of a data set. I have tried the following (nerve.dat is a set of data containing observations on one variable) (using Windows XP): x <- scan("e:/Flashbackup2009/Nonparametrics/nerve.dat") n <- length(x) library(e1071) skewness(x) library(boot) sampleskew <- function(x,d) {return(skewness(x[d]))} bb <-

This might be a trivial question, but I would appreciate if anybody could suggest an elegant way of plotting a function such as the following (a simple distribution function): F(x) = 0 if x<=0 =(x^2)/2 if 0<x<=1 =2x-((x^2)/2)-1 if 1<x<=2 =1 if x>2 This is just an example. In this case it is a continuous function. But how to do it in general in an elegant way.

Hi Thanks again to Greg, and Prof Ripley. Greg, I was trying to send you an email, but has been unsuccessful. Speaking to someone from our IT deparment, I am trying to follow your advice to implement the settings to my computer (using Windows), by using Control Panel. I have selected System in Control Panel and chose System, Advanced tab, Environmental Variables, and created the user variables:
