Hi, lme() users, Can some one tell me how to do this. I model Orthodont with the same G for random variables, but different R{i}'s for boys and girls, so that I can get sigma1_square_hat for boys and sigma2_square_hat for girls. The model is Y{i}=X{i}beta + Z{i}b + e{i} b ~ iid N(0,G) and e{i} ~ iid N(0,R{i}) i=1,2 orth.lme <- lme(distance ~ Sex * age, data=Orthodont, random=~age|Subject,

Dear all, Has anyone written functions to compute (and ideally project / plot onto a plane) confidence ellipsoids for q linear model parameters, q > 2 ?

To Windows R users: The binary build of R that I uploaded on Tuesday contained errors in the compiled HTML help files and some of the PDF versions of the manuals. In particular, the index was missing from the CHM files, and the table of contents was missing from at least one of the manuals. I've since found the error in my setup, and have rebuilt the distribution. I uploaded it to CRAN

Dear all, I have computed a digital terrain model from a set of points (x, y, z) using the function interp() in package akima. I want to predict flooded surfaces given target values of z. I can display the flooded surfaces with contour() or image(), but I don't know how to get the polygons delimiting the surfaces. Did anyone write a function for this purpose ? Best regards, Renaud --

Dear all, How could I use variables in a loop that their names are in a vector? For example: aaa <- 1:10 bbb <- aaa*2 ccc <- aaa+bbb varn <- c("aaa", "bbb", "ccc") m <- rep(NA, 3) for (i in 1:length(varn)) m[i] <- mean(varn[i]) # wrong thanks in advance Juli -- "Wars do not solve problems, wars generate even more problems"

thanks a lot Renaud. but i was interested in Finney's fiducial confidence intervals of LD50 so to obtain comparable results with SPSS. But your reply leads me to the next question: does anybody know what is the best method (asymptotic, bootstrap etc.) for calculating confidence intervals of LD50? i could "get rid" of Finney's fiducial confidence intervals but

Dear all, 1. How can I compute the intersecting area between 2 polygons ? 2. I have polygons with coordinates in decimal degrees (i.e. 13 deg 30 min = 13.5 decimal degrees). I want to compute their area and get the results in square meters or square kiometers. Can anyone give me a conversion coefficient or a pointer where I can find this information (sorry for this off topic question) ? Thanks

Dear R-Helpers, Is there a way to draw shaded (filled) polygons in panel graphs produced by xyplot ? I made different trials (see below) with polygon() and grid.polygon() but polygons are not drawn (probably for the same reason that prevents the use of lines, points, etc. in xyplot panels).

Dear all, I've just downloaded R.12.0 from CRAN (http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/release.htm). I am unable to find RGUI.exe as well as Rterm.exe. Conversely to what is explained in readme.R.2.12.0: There are two versions of the R executable in R-2.12.0\bin\i386 (32-bit) or R-2.12.0\bin\x64 (64-bit).

In Baron and Li's "Notes on the use of R for psychology experiments and questionnaires" http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/rpsych.htm they describe a balanced data set for a drug experiment: "... a test of drug treatment effect by one between-subject factor: group (two groups of 8 subjects each) and two within-subject factors: drug (2 levels) and dose (3 levels). "

Please, forgive my ignorance on statistics, but I have a rather simple question concerning AIC. Small values of AIC mean good fit of the model. How about negative values of AIC? Is a model with AIC=0.5 considered to have better fit than a model with AIC=-500? I couldn't find anything explaining this in the documentation or any elementary statistics textbook that I have at my disposal. Thanks

I've put up a build of the current R-patched (and updated recommended packages) for Windows at http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/RWin/Rpre/SetupRpatched.exe This should be able to rename files on Win 9x (unlike the mid-May build) and can build packages accessing Rblas.dll. As ever, this is less tested than an official release, in particular only on Windows XP, but ought to have fewer
