similar to: Goodman / Kruskal gamma

Dear r-helpers! I want to classify my vegetation data with hierachical cluster analysis. My Dataset consist of Abundance-Values (Braun-Blanquet ordinal scale; ranked) for each plant species and relev?. I found a lot of r-packages dealing with cluster analysis, but none of them is able to calculate a distance measure for ranked data. Podani recommends the use of Goodman and Kruskals' Gamma for

Dear List, I would like to calculate the Goodman-Kruskal gamma for the predicted classes obtained from an ordinal regression model using lrm in the Design package. I couldn't find a way to get gamma for predicted values in Design so have found previous positings suggesting to use : Rcorr.cens(x, S outx = TRUE) in the Hmisc package My question is, will this work for predicted vs

Dear list, I have a problem on calculating the standard error of Goodman-Kurskal's gamma using delta method. I exactly follow the method and forumla described in Problem 3.27 of Alan Agresti's Categorical Data Analysis (2nd edition). The data I used is also from the job satisfaction vs. income example from that book. job <- matrix(c(1, 3, 10, 6, 2, 3, 10, 7, 1, 6, 14, 12, 0, 1, 9,

Dear R-helpers, I recently switched from SAS to R, in order to model the occurrence of rare events through logistic regression. Is there a package available in R to calculate the Goodman-Kruskal Gamma? After searching a bit I found a function "rcorr.cens" which should do the job, but it is not clear to me how to define the input vectors? Is "x" a vector with the fitted

Dear R-help, This is an example in the {Hmisc} manual under rcorr.cens function: > set.seed(1) > x <- round(rnorm(200)) > y <- rnorm(200) > round(rcorr.cens(x, y, outx=F),4) C Index Dxy S.D. n missing uncensored Relevant Pairs Concordant Uncertain 0.4831 -0.0338 0.0462 200.0000

Hi I need to know which package in R calculates the Goodman Kruskal's tau statistic for nominal data. Also is there any implementation for multiple classification analysis (Andrews at al 1973) in R? Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Upasna -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Upasna Sharma Research Scholar Shailesh J. Mehta

Hello useRs, I have a problem at hand which I'd think is fairly common amongst groups were R is being adopted for Analytics in place of SAS. Users would like to obtain results for logistic regression in R that they have become accustomed to in SAS. Towards this end, I was able to propose the Design package in R which contains many functions to extract the various metrics that SAS reports.

Hello everyone. This is a question regarding generation of the concordance index (c index) in R using the function rcorr.cens. In particular about interpretation of its direction and form of the 'predictor'. One of the arguments is a "numeric predictor variable" ( presumably this is just a *single* predictor variable). Say this variable takes numeric values.... Am I

Hello R Community, I'm continuing to work through logistic regression (thanks for all the help on score test) and have come up against a new opposition. I'm trying to compute Somers Dyx as some suggest this is the preferred method to Somers Dxy (Demaris, 1992). I have searchered the [R] archieves to no avail for a function or code to compute Dyx (not Dxy). The overview of Hmisc has

lrm does some binning to make the calculations faster. The exact calculation is obtained by running f <- lrm(...) rcorr.cens(predict(f), DA), which results in: C Index Dxy S.D. n missing 0.96814404 0.93628809 0.03808336 32.00000000 0.00000000 uncensored Relevant Pairs Concordant Uncertain 32.00000000

Hi, I'm trying to calculate 95% confidence interval of C statistic of logistic regression model using rcorr.cens in rms package. I wrote a brief function for this purpose as the followings; CstatisticCI <- function(x) # x is object of rcorr.cens. { se <- x["S.D."]/sqrt(x["n"]) Low95 <- x["C Index"] - 1.96*se Upper95 <- x["C

the method is described in the article:goodman leo A.,a modified multiple regression approch to analysis of dischotomous variables",american sociological review 33(hebruary):28-46 thank you in advance:)

Dear all, I am interested to evaluate reclassification using net reclassification improvement and Integrated Discrimination Index IDI after survival analysis (Cox proportional hazards using stcox). I search a R package or a R code that specifically addresses the categorical NRI for time-to-event data in the presence of censored observation and, if possible, at different follow-up time points. I

Dear colleagues in R, Has anybody implemented the 1) (Goodman & Kruskal) lambda 2) (Thiel's) uncertainty coefficient Tanks Rafael M Ramos [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear Prof. Therneau I was impressed to discover that the 'survConcordance' now handles Surv() objects in counting format (example below to clarify what I mean). This is not documented in the help page for the function. I am very curious to see how a c-index is estimated in this case, using just the linear predictors. It was my impression that with left truncation the ordering of

Hi R experts, I am trying to do a prognostic model validation study, using cancer survival data. There are 2 data sets - 1500 cases used to develop a nomogram, and another of 800 cases used as an independent validation cohort. I have validated the nomogram in the original data (easy with the Design tools), and then want to show that it also has good results with the independent data using 60

Hi all, one of my packages uses the rcorr.cens function from the Hmisc package. Until now I have simply put the Hmisc package into Depends:, but prodded on by new CRAN requirements, I tried to moving it into Imports:. However, this fails because rcorr.cens calls the function is.Surv from survival, which does not seem to be on the search path when Hmisc is "imported from" rather then

Hi R-users, I'm having some problems in using the Hmisc package. I'm estimating a cox ph model and want to test whether the drop in concordance index due to omitting one covariate is significant. I think (but I'm not sure) here are two ways to do that: 1) predict two cox model (the full model and model without the covariate of interest) and estimate the concordance index (i.e. area

Hello R-Users, I have been using (nnet) by Ripley to train a neural net on a test dataset, I have obtained predictions for a validtion dataset using: PP<-predict(nnetobject,validationdata) Using PP I can find the -2 log likelihood for the validation datset. However what I really want to know is how well my nueral net is doing at classifying my binary output variable. I am new to R and I
