I'm next at installing packages. I seem to have successfully installed "evir", but I can't use it. I'm wondering if I need to specify the installation to match my working directory, or something else. thx, G

  Hi r-users,   I would like to use gev and my data (annual rainfall ) is as follows:   > head(dat,20) A B C D E F G H I J 1 45.1 41.5 58.5 50.1 46.0 49.1 37.7 49.1 59.8 54.0 2 50.3 39.8 49.4 56.4 49.4 48.8 42.1 49.8 49.4 58.3 3 41.7 39.3 44.6 39.1 35.7 41.5 40.8 40.8 38.5 45.6 4 50.7 33.9 48.4 28.2 35.5 39.1 61.4 17.0 30.7 38.3 5 39.3 30.6 46.9 23.8 25.8

I am estimating a large model by groups. How do you save the results and?returns the associated quantiles? For this example I need a data frame n?? ?xi??????? mu????????beta 1?? 0.1033614? 2.5389580 0.9092611 2? ?0.3401922? 0.5192882 1.5290615 3?? 0.5130798? 0.5668308 1.2105666 I also want to apply gevrlevelPlot() for each "n" or group. ? #Example n <- c(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2,

I have a monthly price index series x, the related return series y = diff(log(x)) and a POSIXlt date-time variable dp. I would like to apply annual blocks to compute for example annual block maxima and mean of y. When studying the POSIX classes, in the first stage of the learning curve, I computed the maximum drawdown of x: > mdd <- maxdrawdown(x) > max.dd <- mdd$maxdrawdown > from

I am trying to use the evir package but I cannot find a way to change my excel csv files into R-objects, which are used in the package. In particular, I do not know how to change a csv list object into a numeric vector. Anybody done this before? Thanks in advance for your time. Vikentia [[alternate HTML version deleted]]

Up to now, I have recognized problems with "gpd(..)", the function from the package "evir" I think that all these functions that estimate the parameters xi, beta for the GPD by given threshold mu use the function "optim(..)" ( gpd, fitgpd, ...) "Error" example: data1 <- rgpd(1000, xi= -1.5, mu=1000, beta=100) so the created poinnts take place in about

hi, rgev function gives me random deviates and I have a data set which I am fitting to an EVD,IS there a way I can plot both observed and ideal evd on the same plot thankyou Rangesh

Hello, I have the following problem when trying to use rm: In a top level script file I have a loop iterating over some index. The loop is not contained within a function, so the scope of variables declared in the loop is global. Within this loop I generate several variables which should be removed at the end of each iteration. To do this, I wrote a function to clean up the workspace. An example

Dear List: I have a simple two-column data set in .csv format, with the first column being the date and second column being some value. I use read.csv() to import the data as follows: x <- read.csv("myfile.csv",header=T, dec=".", colClasses=c(Date="POSIXct")) The structure of x is: > str(x) `data.frame': 2959 obs. of 2 variables: $

Hi, I was doing a Kolmogrov test on x, y shown below. They are both 151 long. According to the help file, exact p-value is not available so I set "exact = FALSE", but still got the warning. There are no duplicated values in either X or Y. Thank you for your tips. BTW, is there functions in R about Extreme value theory? ******************************************** > ks.test(x, y,

I am a new R user. As a test, I want to write a simple code that does the following simulation: 1. Randomly generate a number from a distribution, say, Poisson. Let's say that number is 3. 2. Randomly generate 3 numbers from another distribution, say, Normal. 3. Compute the sum of the numbers generated in step 2 and read it into a vector, V. 4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for 100,000 times. 5.

Hi all, I have a list of 20000 data, and the list look like below. I wonder what is the simplest way to extract 'kappa' value (or 'xi' or 'alpha' for the matter) from each of the data. How can I simply code it without having to change the list to a dataframe first? Many thanks! $X19997 xi alpha kappa 784.7718640 165.4065141 -0.2709599 $X19998

Dear List, This inquiry probably does not directly pertain to R. I am using library(evir) to learn EVT. Based on my reading of things, it is my understanding that if one wants to calculate quantiles of GPD, one could use either riskmeasures() or qgpd(). However, using data(danish) as an example, the quantile estimates produced by riskmeasures() are considerably different from those produced by

Dear Sirs, I am working with a time series of financial data compiled in a csv file. When i tried to apply the findthresh funtion of the evir package to that data I got the following error messages (the second after transforming the list in a vector): "Error in as.double.default(x) : (list) object cannot be coerced to double" "Error in as.double.default(as.vector(port)) :

Hi, I'm fitting a generalized Pareto distribution to POT exceedances of a data set. The practical stuff works ok, but I have a question regarding theory. Is there an equation relating parameters of a gpd tail to its (first) moments? According to theory for certain parameters either the first moment does not exist or the distribution has an upper bound, but I haven't found the

Not sure this is a bug in R. Maybe its a bug in my understanding of unz(). The character 'b2' (hexadecimal) is in position 535 of line 1 of 'naughty.csv'. This character appears as superscript '2' and came to me in an EXCEL file that I converted to text in a comma separated ( *.csv ) format. The first line gets truncated by readLines after 534 characters using unz():

Concerning the Rmetrics packages, (1) There is a _much_ better thing to do than >simply ... to remove the stuff related to MS Win from zzz.R; > in partricular the lines after if( .... ) to clear your message. > As you can see, the info relates to the WinMenu under MS Win. as Janusz Kawczak suggests, and that is to *wrap* the troublesome code in if

I''m trying to move my application from Rails 2.3.5 to Rails 3.1 which is a challenge.

Hi all, sorry if I am Off Topic on this list, but I think that this could be interesting also for other people; anyway: what would be the best way to recover a password from a zip file? And for other type of files (eg. xls, pdf)? I googled a bit, and I can only find ugly/unthrusted ( ;) ) windows programs... what about Linux? TIA Lorenzo Quatrini
