Hello R-Users, I'm new to R so I apologize in advance for any big mistake I might be doing. I'm trying to fit a set of samples with some probabilistic curve, and I have an important question to ask; in particular I have some data, from which I calculate manually the CDF, and then I import them into R and try to fit: I have the x values (my original samples) and the y values

UseRs, actuar is a package for Actuarial Science. A rather preliminary version (0.1-3) of the package has been available on CRAN since February 2006. We now announce the immediate availability of version 0.9-2 sporting a large number of new features. Non actuaries behold! There can be some features of interest for you, especially those related to new probability distribution and to the

Dear all, I'm trying to fit a curve to some 1 year failure-time data, so that I can extrapolate and predict failure rates up to 3 years. The data is in the general form: Treatment Time Status Treatment A 28 0 Treatment B 28 0 Treatment B 28 0 Treatment A 28

Hi all, Using the exponential distribution to exemplify: The dexp function is the PDF (1) and pexp is the CDF (2), that is obtained integrating the PDF. How can I get the qexp and the rexp? Considering that I have the PDF, how this two are mathematically related to the PDF? (1) ke^{-kx} (2) 1-e^{kx} Thanks in advance.

UseRs, Version 0.9-4 of actuar should be making its way to CRAN mirrors. The main highlights of this new version are speed enhancements for a few functions, support for phase-type distributions and functions for ruin theory. The relevant section of the NEWS file follows Version 0.9-4 ============= Maintenance and new features release. NEW FEATURES -- LOSS DISTRIBUTIONS o Functions

Hi, I would like to overlap the cdf curve for observed and generated data  Here is my code: plot(cdf,main ="CDF of the sum for winter season-Hume",cex.axis=1.2,xlab="Rainfall (mm)", xaxs="i",yaxs="i",col=c("black","red"), lty=c(1,1),ylab="Cumulative probability", xlim=c(0,800),lwd=1) lines(ecdf(datobs))

Dear R users, I?m trying to optimize simultaneously two binomials inequalities used to acceptance sampling, which are nonlinear solution, so there is no simple direct solution. The 'n' represents the sample size and the 'c' an acceptance number or maximum number of defects (nonconforming) in sample size. The objective is to obtain the smallest value of 'n' (sample size)

Hi - I have a dataframe of (x,y) values. I'd like to fit an exponential curve to the data for further statistical analysis (pretty much the same functionality provided by Excel's LOGEST worksheet array function). Can someone point me to the (set of) functions/ package that is best suited to provide this functionality? Admittedly, I am a novice in the use of R statistical functions,

Dear R-help, Here's a simple example of nonlinear curve fitting where nls seems to get the answer wrong on a very simple exponential fit (my R version 2.7.2). Look at this code below for a very basic curve fit using nls to fit to (a) a logarithmic and (b) an exponential curve. I did the fits using self-start functions and I compared the results with a more simple fit using a straight lm()

Hi, I am trying to fit experimental points by exponemtial curve my data are stored into a matrix data the first column is the geographical point (a number = data[,1] ) ( I would like to plot several graphes at the same time) the second column is the time of measurement (x in the plot) the third column is a speed (y in the plot) if we assume the point are folowing this exponential behaviour

Hi folks, I've looked through the list archives and online resources, but I haven't really found an answer to this -- it's pretty basic, but I'm (very much) not a statistician, and I just want to check that my solution is statistically sound. Basically, I have a data file containing two columns of data, call it data.tsv: year count 1999 3 2000 5 2001 9 2002 30 2003 62 2004 154

Hello, I have what should be an easy question. I'm a new r user and making the transition from menus to the command line so as to do batch processing of tons of data. One of my data streams needs to be detrended. It's a vector of numbers that follows a negative exponential decay. I need to fit a curve to it and use the residuals as an object. The data looks something like this: foo.dat

Dear all, I would like for a given vector to calculate the pdf and the cdf and then plot these two graphs. Is there in R any toolkit that can help me do that fast? Regards Alex

Dear R users, I?m trying to optimize simultaneously two binomials inequalities used to acceptance sampling, which are nonlinear solution, so there is no simple direct solution. Please, let me explain shortly the the problem and the question as following. The objective is to obtain the smallest value of 'n' (sample size) satisfying both inequalities: (1-alpha) <= pbinom(c, n, p1)

Hi, I ran a linear regression on a data set and got an Rsq of about .27. The plot looks as though an exponential curve would be a better fit. What codes do I use to do this? Thank you, Ryan Munroe [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi. I'm fairly new to R and have a quick question regarding AIC, logLik and numbers of parameters. I see that there has been some correspondence on this in the past but none of the threads seem to have been satisfactorily resolved. I have been trying to use R to obtain AIC for fitted models and then to extrapolate to AICc. For example, using simple x-y regression data, I fitted a

Please, I have a problem with nonlinear quantile regression. My data shows a large variability and the quantile regression seemed perfect to relate two given variables. I got to run the linear quantile regression analysis and to build the graph in the R (with quantreg package). However, the up part of my data dispersion seems a positive exponential curve, while the down part seems a negative
