Hi, Amazing work you folks have been doing! I don't know if this is the proper place to talk about this, but this looks like the best place to start! I've been messing with the latest version of FLAC and as an end-user I have this problem. The verification process currently does not use the fingerprint file during verification. So, only the integrity of the FLAC file is checked.

Hi everyone, I'm working on a script trying to use foreach %dopar% but without success, so I manage to run the code with foreach %do% and looks like this: The code is part of a MCMC model for projects valuation, returning the most important results (VPN, TIR, EVA, etc.) of the simulation. foreach (simx = NsimT, .combine=cbind, .inorder=FALSE, .verbose=TRUE) %do% { MCPVMPA = MCVAMPA[simx]

Hi, I am using the nls function and it stops because the number of iterations exceeded 50, but i used the nls.control argument to allow for 500 iterations. Do you have any idea why it's not working? fm1 <- nls(npe ~ SSgompertz(npo, Asym, b2, b3), data=f,control=nls.control(maxiter=500)) Error in nls(y ~ exp(-b2 * b3^x), data = xy, algorithm = "plinear", start = c(b2 =

I'm trying to fit a Gompertz sigmoid as follows: x <- c(15, 16, 17, 18, 19) # arbitrary example data here; y <- c(0.1, 1.8, 2.2, 2.6, 2.9) # actual data is similar gm <- nls(y ~ a+b*exp(-exp(-c*(x-d))), start=c(a=?, b=?, c=?, d=?)) I have been unable to properly set the starting value '?'s. All of my guesses yield either a "singular gradient" error if they

List gurus, I'm trying to code a Gompertz growth curve function as part of a larger project and have run across a problem due to my ignorance of environments. Some sample data and the function are as follows: growth <- data.frame(age = c(1.92, 3, 5.83, 3.17, 15.5, 1.17, 5.58, 13.33, 14.29, 5.83, 13.79, 6.33, 13.75, 16.83, 13, 11.67, 0.25, 1.73, 9.46, 5.67), length = c(157, 165, 179,

Dear all, This is a rather lengthy message, but I don't know what I made wrong in my real example since the simple code works. I have two variables a, b and a function f for which I would like to calculate all possible combinations of the values of a and b. If f is multiplication, I would simply do: a <- 1:5 b <- 1:5 outer(a,b) ## A bit more complicated is this: f <-

Hi all I?m trying to get confidence intervals for parameters from nls modeling.

Hi there are some predefined self-start functions, like SSmicmen, SSbiexp, SSasymp, SSasympOff, SSasympOrig, SSgompertz, SSflp, SSlogis, SSweibull, Quadratic, Qubic, SSexp (nlrwr) Btw, do you know graphic examples for this functions? The SSexpDecay (exponential decay) for y = (y0 - plateau)*exp(-k*x) + plateau from

Dear all i want to fit the self start model in nls. i have two question. i have a function, (asfr ~ I(((a*b)/c))+ ((c/age)^3/2)+ exp((-b^2)*(c/age)+(age/c)-2) i am wondering how to build the selfstart model. there is lost of example, (i.e. SSgompertz, SSmicman, SSweibull, etc). my question is, how to derive the function of parameters. and also which model to use for get the initials values. In the

Hi all, Sorry if this has been answered already, but I couldn't find it in the archives or general internet. Is it possible to implement the gompertz distribution as survreg.distribution to use with survreg of the survival library? I haven't found anything and recent attempts from my side weren't succefull so far. I know that other packages like 'eha' and

Dear list: I am attempting to use what I thought would be a pretty straightforward practical application of Cox regression. I figure users of the survival package must have come across this problem before, so I would like to ask you how you dealt with it. I have set up an illustrative example and included it at the end of this post. I took a sample of 100 data points from each of two populations

Hello, all. I have co-opted a number of functions that can be used to plot the hazard/survival functions and associated density distribution for a Gompertz mortality model, given known parameters. The Gompertz hazard model has been shown to fit relatively well to the human adult lifespan. For example, if I wanted to plot the hazard (i.e., mortality) functions: pop1 <- function (t) {

Dear all! I tried to fit Gompertz growth models to describe cummulative germination rates using nls. I used the following code: germ.model<-nls(percent.germ~a*exp(-b*exp(-k*day)),data=tab,start=list(a=100,b=10,k=0.5)) My problem is that I want that the fitted model goes through the origin, since germination cannot start before the experiment was started, and y-max should be 100. Does anyone

Hi, r-help members. I have a question about summing two density distributions. I have two samples from which I've estimated hazard parameters for a Gompertz mortality model. With those parameters, I can calculate the PDF (survival function times hazard function) of ages-at-death in a birth cohort subject to the hazard function at each age. I'd like to combine these two density

I haven't used r in quite a while but would like to get back into it. I have a problem that I would like to solve with r. I have some multinomial data that looks to follow an asymmetric sigmoidal growth pattern. Solving a multinomial gompertz partial differential equation in r is what I’m after. Would anyone be able to provide me the code and packages to do something like this? Regards,
