Are there any S-Plus or R libraries/packages that do Finite Mixture Analysis following the algorithms similar to those implemented in Geoffrey MacLachlan's EMMIX program? Thanks. Dr. Marc R.

I just updated rpart to the latest version (3.1.0). There are a number of changes between this and previous versions, and some of the code I've been using with earlier versions (e.g. 3.0.2) no longer work. Here is a simple illustration of a problem I'm having with xpred.rpart. iris.test.rpart<-rpart(iris$Species~., data=iris[,1:4], parms=list(prior=c(0.5,0.25, 0.25))) + ) >

Our lab just picked up a G4 Powerbook (1 GHz, 1GB RAM, OS X 10.2.6). None of us have any experience with Macs but for various reasons we need to have one around for development. In any case, we've installed fink, all the Apple Developer Tools and the Dec2002updater to gcc 3.3. We're now trying to compile R 1.7.1 without too much success. First we had to get g77, which turned out to

Probably wrong group for this, but a quick question. I've just switched from emacs to Xemacs. In reinstalling ESS 5.1.19 I keep getting the following error when loading Xemacs: "Error in init file: Symbol's function definition is void: w32-using-nt" I've debugged the ess-site.el file, which is where the error originates from. The line causing the difficulty is:

I've created a bunch of postscript trees (post.rpart), which I subsequently edit in Adobe Acrobat 4.05 (I need additional labelling that isn't easy to add with R). After editing the labels and annotations using Acrobat, I then export the file to Adobe's .eps format so I can insert the picture into a Microsoft Word 2000 document. The .pdf file distilled from the .ps file is

I ran across this error the other day while using lm(). I confess that I haven't used it for awhile and haven't been tracking the changes between versions of R. However, the piece of code below is a tiny modification of the example in the help file for "lm". I just separated the commands apart for clarity. A similar piece comes from the help file for

I've been using the package rpart with R 1.3.0 for Windows to produce simple classification trees for some measurement data from paleontological specimens. Both the rpart documentation and the output confirm that the program produces splits on continuous data that leave "holes" in the data. It is probably of little practical importance, but is there a reason why the binary

What is the generally accepted way to put certain math symbols into plain text email? For example, how does one convey the "is exactly equal to", "is approximately equal to", and "delta" symbols in a standard text-based (e.g. Courier) font? Dr. Marc R.

Hello, Does logistic regression really provide better results than lda or qda ? (my purpose is not classification but highlighting of discriminant variables). If this is true, where could I get an R script performing stepwise logistic regression ? Thanks -- Daniel AMORESE Lab.

I just downloaded version 1.0.0 and several binary libraries (VR, rpart, norm, stataread) - WinNT version. I then converted a file from Stata 6.0 to R format by using the stataread library. The file converts perfectly and I was able to use the VR function lda on the dataframe without difficulty. I then tried to use the same dataframe with RPART. The model statement:

Sorry for the off-topic post, but there is such a wealth of knowledge here that I thought someone might have suggestions. Geoff MacLachlan and David Peel have a program - EMMIX - available for mixture modelling. It is only available as FORTRAN source code and is "downloadable" from Geoff's site. The code is reputed to run on Unix machines and is compilable according to

Hi Are there any functions that de-convolute data into a given number of clusters, rather like the NPMLE GLIM macros from Murray Aitkin and Brian Francis? Basically I would like to code into R the same approach but include the possiblility of some data being censored. In principle the formulae are the same (just replace the likelihood function) but I haven't managed to get my head round the

At the risk of starting a holy war, I'd like opinions on the "best" current Linux distribution to run "out of box" with current versions of R. I note rpms for various versions of RedHat, SUSE, Mandrake, and Debian. I've had experience with RH 7.1 & 7.2 and it hasn't been entirely pretty. I understand that 7.3 is a bit "better", but have also

Hey, I have a set of data and want to use Bootstrap method to estimate some pararameters. So does anybody know if there are such functions in R to achieve this? Thanks for your points.

Thanks for your reply Nassar. What I really want is to overlay (like add=TRUE) the plots 1 and 2. With plots "at the same screen" I meant overlaid and not one beside the other, i.e., only one plot with all the points (1 to 10) in blue (or any other color), the points 5 to 9 in red and a regression line from points 5 to 9.

Dear colleague, I'd like to compute linear discriminant analysis, using R. In the book Modern applied statistic with Splus (Venables & Ripley, p. 396), lda function is used. Could you tell me where I can find this function? At what site, can I download this library ? Thank for your help.

All Is there an R command to produce error bars around a plotted point. Crawley's book uses the command error.bar() but my version of R rejects it. Must be an S+ command(?). Thanks REX [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
