similar to: LOCF - Last Observation Carried Forward

Hi R-helpers I'm looking for a vectorised function which does missing value replacement as in last observation carried forward in the zoo package but instead of a locf, I would like the locf function to add +1 to each time a missing value occurred. See below for an example. > require(zoo) > x <- 5:15 > x[4:7] <- NA > coredata(na.locf(zoo(x))) [1] 5 6 7 7 7 7 7 12 13

Hi, I have a series of id's with multiple visits and questionnaire scores. This is a clinical trial that will be analyzed using the last observation carried forward method. In other words, in order to comply with intent to treat analysis when many subjects withdraw, data points for the last visit must be generated and filled in with the last observation. The ultimate goal is to tabulate the

It sounds as thought you are interested in Hoyt's Anova which is a form of generalizability theory. This is usually estimated using by getting the variance components from ANOVA. > -----Original Message----- > From: r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch > [mailto:r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch] On Behalf Of Karl Knoblick > Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2006 6:10 AM > To: r-help at

Hallo! I read SPSS data in the following way: library(Hmisc) library(foreign) dat<-spss.get("surv_abb.sav") In R1.9.1 I got the message: "Error in all(arg == choices) : Object "typeDate" not found" In R1.8.0 the same script works fine. Does anybody know a possibilty to read a SPSS file under R1.9.1? Thanks! Karl

Hallo! GENERAL QUESTION: I'm trying to change the tick marks of the x-axis in a grouped data plot (nlme). CONCRETE EXAMPLE: In the example (see below) I want the x-axis to have tick marks at 0, 6, 12, 18, 24. How can I do this? WHAT I TRIED I tried "normal" methods like axis(...) but this does not work with this plot. And I also tried xlim=c(0,24) but the ticks are unchanged and

Hello! I have the problem that in my function the passed variable is not used, but the variable name of the dataframe itself?- difficult to explain, but an easy example: TestFunc<-function(df, group) { ??? print(names(subset(df, select=group))) } df1<-data.frame(group="G1", visit="V1", value=0.9) TestFunc(df1, c("group", "visit")) Result: [1]

Hello! I want to calculate the intra- and interrater reliability of my study. The design is very simple, 5 raters rated a diagnostic score 3 times for 19 patients. Are there methods/funtions in R? I only found packages to calculate interrater variability and intraclass correlation coefficients for matrices of n*m (n subjects, m raters) - I have n subjects, m raters and r repetitions. Can

Karl, If you use one of the specialized packages to calculate your ICC, make sure that you know what you're getting. (I haven't checked the packages out myself, so I don't know either.) You might want to read David Futrell's article in the May 1995 issue of Quality Progress where he describes six different ways to calculate ICCs from the same data set, all with different

Hallo! I want to understand / recalculate what is done to get the CI of the logistic regression evaluated with lrm. As far as I came back, my problem is the variance-covariance matrix fit$var of the fit (fit<-lrm(...), fit$var). Here what I found and where I stucked: ----------------- library(Design) # data D<-c(rep("a", 20), rep("b", 20)) V<-0.25*(1:40) V[1]<-25

Hi everybody, I have a small question about the function "na.locf" from the package "zoo". I saw in the help that this function is able to fill NA gaps with the last value before the NA gap (or with the next value). But it is possible to fill my NA gaps according to the last AND the next value at the same time? Actually, I want R to fill my gaps with the method of

Hallo! I have a problem with fitting data with nls. The first example with y1 (data frame df1) shows an error, the second works fine. Is there a possibility to get a fit (e.g. JMP can fit also data I can not manage to fit with R). Sometimes I also got an error singularity with starting parameters. # x-values x<-c(-1,5,8,11,13,15,16,17,18,19,21,22) # y1-values (first data set)

Hallo! I have two groups (placebo/verum), every subject is measured at 5 times, the first time t0 is the baseline measurement, t1 to t4 are the measurements after applying the medication (placebo or verum). The question is, if there is a significant difference in the two groups and how large the differnce is (95% confidence intervals). Let me give sample data # Data

Hi, Is there some alternative to cumsum for chron objects? I have data frames that contain some chron objects that look like this: DateTime 13/10/03 12:30:35 NA NA NA 15/10/03 16:30:05 NA NA ... and I've been trying to replace the NA's so that a date/time sequence is created starting with the preceding available value. Because the number of rows with NA's following each available

[Apologies in advance for the train of thought prose, but it is brainstorming after all…] I'm going to focus on self-descriptive names rather than literary or fantasy references… Advanced Compiler Kit, affectionately known as “ACK!”? It has an ill- deserved nod to NeXT, even. (Completely the wrong language, after all.) Core Compiler? Heh, I don't think that'd get past certain

Hi! While reading through PROTOCOL.krl I came across "5. KRL signature sections". If my understanding is correct - and that's basically what I would like to get knocked down for if appropriate ;) - this is a way for SSHDs to ensure they only accept KRLs signed by a trusted CA. However, I cannot seem to find a way to actually _sign_ a KRL with ssh-keygen? The aforementioned

tmp <- c(-1,NA,NA,1,1,NA,NA,1) without using a loop, how can I replace all NAs in the list above with the previous none NA value in the list?

Dear all: Here is my problem: Example data: dat<-data.frame(x=rep(c("a","b","c","d"),2),y=c(10:17)) If I wanted to aggregate each level of column dat$x I could use: aggregate(dat$y,list(x=dat$x),sum) But I just want to aggregate two levels (c and d) to obtain a new level e I am expecting something like: x y 1 a 10 2 b 11 3 e 25 4 a 14 5 b 15 6

Colleagues After reading in some clinical data, I discovered that the subject ID column contains entries only for the first record for each individual; subsequent rows are recorded as NA. For example: > 1 > NA > NA > NA > NA > 2 > NA > NA > NA > NA > 3 > NA > NA > ... I can think of various approaches to replace the NA values with appropriate
