Hello, I am a graduate student at UNC Chapel Hill, and I am attempting to create a SiZer plot for a nonparametric analysis. I have found the file to use this program in Matlab, however I was hoping to find a package to use this in R. Does anyone know of a package that can create this type of graph? Thanks, Stephanie

Hi, does anybody know of a nice test to detect trend turning points in time series? Possibly with reference? Thanks, joerg

This might be of interest: http://math.usu.edu/~minnotte/research/software/modetree.r (I was not able to get to the link, but google has a cached version.) Prof. Marron's SiZer maps may also be of interest, but AFAIK the code is in Matlab only.

Hey, Does anyone know of a package in R that provides univariate kernel density estimation with boundary correction ? or how to easily extend an existing bivariate kernel density estimation function (e.g. lambdahat in the spatialkernel package) with boundary corrections to allow univariate density estimation? Thanks a lot, Steve B. -- View this message in context:

Hi R-Community, I have a vector of Weibull distributed observations and I would like to estimate the parameters "shape" and "scale" of the Weibull distribution. Is there a way to do this in R? Much thanks in advance, Hagen Schm?ller -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dipl.-Ing. Hagen K. Schm?ller Institut f?r Elektrische Anlagen und

Dear All, A method for the estimation is univariate unimodal densities (with unknown mode) is described in "Statistical Inference under Order Restrictions" by Barlow et al.. Would anyone know whether there is an R-implementation (preferably with reference) for the estimation of univariate discrete unimodal densities (with unknown mode)? Thanks in advance for your help. Kind

Dear colleagues, In checking a function I am adding to an R package, I get the following warning pair: ... Bad \usage lines found in documentation object 'nominal': "\\method{print}{nominal}"(x, max.print = 10, posthoc = "std.pearson.residuals.sign", assoc = ifelse("univariate" list(c("N", "alpha.X2",

Has anyone developed a defensible method of estimating percentiles from a univariate kernel density estimate? I am working on a problem in which the density estimate is of interest, but I would also like to estimate the value of the variable for which the distribution was, say, 0.20. I spent some time searching the archives and found some message from 2006 that implied such a method was not

How to test the statistical significance of the difference of two univariate Linear Regression betas? Hi all, There are two samples of data: D1 and D2. On data D1 we do a univariate Linear Regression and get the coefficient beta1. On data D2 we do a univariate Linear Regression and get the coefficient beta2. How do I test the statistical significance of (beta1-beta2)? Could you please

Dear R Helpers, Currently I'm working with the ts package of R and created a TimeSerie from pixels extracted from satellite imagery(S10 NDVI data, 10 daily composites). I'm trying to decompose this signal in different signals (seasonal and trend). When testing out the STL method is says => Only univariate timeseries are allowed, but the current Timeserie I'm using is univariate!

Hi everyone. I'm having some troubles with STL function to decompose some data. My issue is that I have monthly data from September 2005 up to August 2010 i. e. 60 observations. I define it in the following way: *u<-read.csv("C:/CELEBREX.csv",header = TRUE) u.ts<-ts(u, start=c(2005,9), frequency=12) * The issue is that when I try to use stl(u.ts, 'per') Then the

Hi, I got the same problem like http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/devel/04/11/1204.html R crashes when I use the em function from the mclust package on univariate data and on a special case on bivariate data (when the matrix is not provided as written in the manual). It seems as if the problem is the format of the data to be analyzed. Operating System: Windows XP (SP2) R version: R-2.0.1 The

Dear R users I use Windows XP, R2.5.1 (I have read the posting guide, I have contacted the package maintainer first, it is not homework). In a research project on renal cell carcinoma we want to compute Harrell's c index, with optimism correction, for a multivariate Cox regression and also for some univariate Cox models. For some of these univariate models I have encountered an error

Dear R users, I use the excelent Anova function of the library car because the easy way to get sphericity correction. Unless I use the scan function. I have not been able to access the values ​​of sum squares and degrees of freedom for each effect in the univariate summary table. Example of the car library for Anova function: library(car) phase <- factor(rep(c("pretest",

Hi, I have a nested unbalanced data set of four correlated variables. When I do univariate analyses, my factor of interest is significant or marginally significant with all of the variables. Small effect size but always in the same direction. If I do a MANOVA instead (because the variables are not independent!) then my factor is far from being significant. How does that come about? I have

Hi all, I'd like to fit a multivariate regression with the variance of the error term porportional to the predictors, like the WLS in the univariate case. y_1~x_1+x_2 y_2~x_1+x_2 var(y_1)=x_1*sigma_1^2 var(y_2)=x_2*sigma_2^2 cov(y_1,y_2)=sqrt(x_1*x_2)*sigma_12^2 How can I specify this in R? Is there a corresponding function to the univariate specification lm(y~x,weights=x)??

R Help Community I'm trying to understand time series (TS) objects. Thought I understood but recently have run into a series of error messages that I'm not sure how to handle. I have 15 years of quarterly data and I typically create a TS object via something like... data.ts <- ts(mydata, start = 2002, frequency = 4) this create a matric as opposed to a vector object as I receive a

Dear all, The other day I was reading this post [1] that slightly surprised me: "To reject the null of no correlation, an hypothsis test based on the normal distribution. If normality is not the base assumption your working from then p-values, significance tests and conf. intervals dont mean much (the value of the coefficient is not reliable) " (BOB SAMOHYL). To me this implied that in

Hi, I am trying to perform Maximum Likelihood estimation of a Multivariate model (2 independent variables + intercept) with autocorrelated errors of 1st order (ar(1)). Does R have a function for that? I could only find an univariate option (ar.mle function) and when writing my own I find that it is pretty memory-consuming (and sometimes wrong) so there must be a better way. Thanks, KB

This seems like a FAQ, but I can't figure it out. I have a mv ts object: R > tsp(pg) [1] 1982 2003 1 R > dim(pg) [1] 22 12 and a univariate ts: R > tsp(rw) [1] 1690 1996 1 Yet, when I try to intersect them: R > tsp(ts.intersect(rw, pg)) [1] 1982 2176 1 the process goes awry. How to I get rw and pg to be one ts that runs from 1982 to 1996 and has 13 univariate time
