Dear R-helpers, I was testing the truncgof CRAN package, found something that looked like a bug, and did my job: contacted the maintainer. But he did not reply, so I am resending my query here. I installed package truncgof and run the example for function ad.test. I got the following output: set.seed(123) treshold <- 10 xc <- rlnorm(100, 2, 2) # complete sample xt <- xc[xc >=

Hi R lovers! I'd like to know how to use the parameter 'start' in the function fitdistr() obviously I have to provide the initial value of the parameter to optimize except in the case of a certain set of given distribution Indeed according to the help file for fitdistr " For the following named distributions, reasonable starting values will be computed if `start'

Hi list, Does anyone know the code behind rlnorm(n, meanlog = 0, sdlog = 1)? I am going to write it in c#. thanks Alireza [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I tried to fit a lognormal distribution by using optim. But sadly the output seems to be incorrect. Who can tell me where the "bug" is? test = rlnorm(100,5,3) logL = function(parm, x,...) -sum(log(dlnorm(x,parm,...))) start = list(meanlog=5, sdlog=3) optim(start,logL,x=test)$par Carsten.

rlnorm takes two 'shaping' parameters: meanlog and sdlog. meanlog would appear from the documentation to be the log of the mean. eg if the desired mean is 1 then meanlog=0. So to generate random values that fit a lognormal distribution I would do this: rlnorm(N , meanlog = log(mean) , sdlog = log(sd)) But when I check the mean I don't get it when sdlog>0. Interestingly I

I am trying to fit a lognormal distribution to a set of data and test its goodness of fit with regard to predicted values. I managed to get so far: > y <- c(2,6,2,3,6,7,6,10,11,6,12,9,15,11,15,8,9,12,6,5) > library(MASS) > fitdistr(y,"lognormal",start=list(meanlog=0.1,sdlog=0.1)) meanlog sdlog 1.94810515 0.57091032 (0.12765945) (0.09034437) But I would

Full_Name: Anthony Gichangi Version: 1.90 OS: Windows XP Pro Submission from: (NULL) (130.225.131.206) The function rlnorm generates negative values for lognormal distribution. x- rlnorm(1000, meanlog = 0.6931472, sdlog = 1) Regards Anthony

The density of a lognormal should be 0 for negative arguments, but > dlnorm(-1) [1] NaN Warning message: NaNs produced in: dlnorm(x, meanlog, sdlog, log) A simple fix is to change dlnorm's definition to: function (x, meanlog = 0, sdlog = 1, log = FALSE) .Internal(dlnorm(x*(x>0), meanlog, sdlog, log)) It might be faster to put the same sort of adjustment into the internal code, but

Hola Ruben, Sí precisamente es lo que comentas, en matemáticas no se suele llamar bucketización (este término se emplea más en informática) sino datos agrupados. Pero la idea es la que tu mismo dices. Respecto a las gráficas que has puesto, me han aclarado mucho sobre el tema, gracias. Si realizo lo mismo, por ejemplo con nbucket=1000 sigo obteniendo un p-valor de 1. Es decir, que casi le

Dear all, Is there a way to generate K numbers of integer (K = 10^6). The maximum value of the integer is 200,000 and minimum is 1. And the occurrences of this integer follows a lognormal distribution. - Gundala Viswanath Jakarta - Indonesia

I frequently want to test for differences between animal size frequency distributions. The obvious test (I think) to use is the Kolmogorov-Smirnov two sample test (provided in R as the function ks.test in package ctest). The KS test is for continuous variables and this obviously includes length, weight etc. However, limitations in measuring (e.g length to the nearest cm/mm, weight to the nearest

Dear all, I have a code that generates data vectors within R. For example assume: z <- rlnorm(1000, meanlog = 0, sdlog = 1) Every time a vector has been generated I would like to export it into a csv file. So my idea is something as follows: for (i in 1:100) { z <- rlnorm(1000, meanlog = 0, sdlog = 1) write.csv(z, "c:/z_i.csv") Where "z_i.csv" is a filename that is

Mich besch?ftig folgende Fragestellung. Ich kenne die Verteilung (lognormal) zus?tzlich weiss ich das 99%, das 90% und das 1% Quantil. Gibt es in R eine M?glichkeit die Lognormalverteilung zu finden, das heisst den korrespondierenden logmean und logsd? Vielen Dank f?r ihre Hilfe Gruss Yvonne

Hello R-Experts, I want to calculate values like 15^200 or 17^300 in R. In normal case it can calculate the small values of b (a^b). I have fixed width = 10000 and digits = 22 but still answers are Inf. How to deal the cases like these? Thanks in advance. Regards, rehena [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I have a question regarding the use of an offset term with survreg(), in the Survival library. In particular, I am trying to figure out on what scale the offset term should be. Here's a simple example with no censoring and no coefficients: --------- y = rlnorm(1000, meanlog = 10, sdlog = 2) delta = rep(1, 1000) int = rep(1, 1000) survreg(Surv(y,delta)~offset(10*int), dist =

Hello, I am trying to compute the density of a variable k that is either (1) Normally distributed; (2) Log-Normally distributed; or (3) follows proportional error distribution. I tried to search R-help and the answer for normal distribution was easy to find (please see 1c). I am not sure if my formula for dlnorm is correct (please see 2c below)? I really don't know what function to use for the

Hi all, this might be a stupid question, but still. Everytime i find some new function it's prettty easy to understand how to use the syntax and to perform a text. Even the general idea of what the function does is pretty easy to understand, but i can not find an explanation (detailed explanation) of the R output for each function. For example, a function fitdistr() in MASS package i
