Hello, I have a big dataframe with *NO* na's (9 columns, 293380 rows). # doing memory.limit(size = 1000000000) cor(x) #gives Error in cor(x) : missing observations in cov/cor In addition: Warning message: NAs introduced by coercion #I found the obvious workaround: COR <- matrix(rep(0, 81),9,9) for (i in 1:9) for (j in 1:9) {if (i>j) COR[i,j] <- cor (x[,i],x[,j])} #which works fine,

Another newbie question.... I want to create a factor (say cT)from a numerical variable (sy temp) by regrouping the values in classes (say cT <390, [390,400[,[400,409[...>=550) Is there a simple way of doing that using the factor function? AND I do not find how to manipulate strings (I want to concatenete characters strings ("abkdas","chjw") into something like

Hello R helpers! I looked but did not find a table-lookup R-utility. I could use a loop to do the job (old FORTRAN/C habits die hard) but if I have a big table in which I have to search for the values corresponding to a vector, I end up logically with a double loop. Is there already such a utility? Otherwise, is there a way without loops? Thanks as always Anne

Sorry, sorry.... of course levels(testf)[c(2,1,3)] will do the job My excuses to all Anne PS I will meditate the following saying "la parole est d'argent et le silence est d'or" BONNES FETES A TOUS SEASONAL GREETINGS ---------------------------------------------------- Anne Piotet Tel: +41 79 359 83 32 (mobile) Email: anne.piotet@m-td.com

Is there an upgrate of the vcd library (visualisation of categorical data) for the latest R version? Trying to download it from CRAN I get URL /data/WWW/ftp/pub/R/bin/windows/contrib/r-release/vcd_0.1-3.4.zip was not found on this server. googling it, I found it for instance on http://www.sourcekeg.co.uk/cran/bin/windows/contrib/1.9/ but trying to install it gave me the message >

Hi! I'm trying to do some ploytomous logistic regression using multinom() in the nnet package, but am a bit confused about interpretation of the results Is it possible to get the following quantities: I: maximum likelihood estimates to test for fit of model and significance of each predictor (I would like to produce a table of the following type) Analysis of Variance: MLE (values are

Hello everyone, I am searching for a covariate selection procedure in a cox model formulated as a counting process. I use intervals, my formula looks like coxph(Surv(start,stop,status)~ x1+x2+...+cluster(id),robust=T) where id is a country code (I study occurence of civil wars from 1962 to 1997). I'd like something not based on p-values, since they have several flaws for this purpose. I turned

Dear R-helpers, I have a problem which I suppose is trivila, but... I have included NA values as factors ( (to be able to make nice printed summaries with NAs % ba category ) with the following code dat$x.f<-factor(dat$x, exclude=NULL); levels(dat$x.f)<-c("A1","A2","A3","A4","NA"); length(dat$x.f) Now, I want to impute the missing values.

Hello everyone, Hope it is the good place for this (I discuss the question of the right place below). Most of the time, warnings are more than 1000 characters long and thus are truncated. Most of the time, this generates printouts with unbalanced parentheses. Intelligent text editors which do parentheses highlighting get very confused with this. After too many warnings, they give errors, and

Hi everyone. There's been several threads on baseline hazard in Cox model but I think they were all on cumulative baseline hazard, for instance http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/01a/0464.html http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/01a/0436.html "basehaz" in package survival seems to do a cumulative hazard. extract from the basehaz function: sfit <- survfit(fit) H

To the R developers, The discussion below reminded me that I think it might be a good idea to take the Relevel function from the Lexis package and replace relevel in stats with it. This is really nothing special for epidemiology. It is fully compatible with the existing relevel (it actually contains the relevel code almost verbatim as a subset), but it has the extra functionality of combining

Hello R helpers! I'm using the avas function form package acepack (called from areg.boot package Hmisc) to estimate automatically transformations of predictors (in this case monotonous) and response. Well, it seems to work quite well, but I have 3 basic questions: - which set of basis functions is used in this procedure? - how do I back transform my estimate (y hat ) to the originasl scale?

Hi, I have been dreaming about a complete R environment on my USB stick for a long time. Now I finally want to realize it but what I am missing is a good, portable editor for R which has tabs and syntax highlighting, can execute code, has bookmarks and a little project file management facility pretty much like Tinn-R has those. I like Tinn-R but it seems like there is only a very old version of

Hi R helpers! I'm still a bit ( alot) confused by the use of "inverseTrans" and "ytype" in areg.boot (Hmisc): What I want to do seems very simple, but I do not get the result I want: plot the predicted values in the original scale. (I did not understand the documentation, sorry!) for instance the following code

Hello! I would like to know if there is a simple way to reorder levels of a given factor.Let's say that the vector testf<-factor(c("red","red","red","blue","blue","white")) levels(testf) : blue red white should have reordered levels such as levels(testf) : red blue white (this is for presentation purposes) I guess

hello to all! I have a small problem wit predict() for lm Let's say I have predictors x1 and x2, response y I want to predict for a new ds say dn<-data.frame(x1= seq(min(x1),max(x1),length=10),x2=rep(median(x2),10)) predict(lm(y~x1+x2),dn,se.fit=T) Error message > Error: variables 'x1', 'x2' were specified differently from the fit (I looked in the help and found

I was wrong about needing the Relevel from the Lexis package. The default verson of relevel does the job of reshuffling levels in any desired order, albeit with a warning (which comes from the fact that apparently only a single number had been anticipated by the designer): > testf <- factor( sample( letters[1:4], 100, replace=T ) ) > table( testf, newf=relevel( testf, ref=c(3,2,1,4) )
