similar to: GLM with binomial distribution: a bug?

Hello useRs, I`m running structural equation models with R, but for one of my models the below error message apears. I`m trying to change startvalues but without success. The manual for sem package did not help me. Does anyone knows how to change startvalues for iteration in sem package? Or it can be another problem with the model? Error in startvalues(S, ram, debug = debug, tol = start.tol)

Hi, I would like to print elements from sem (structural equation modeling) function (e.g., model-reproduced covariance matrix (C); estimated asymptotic covariance matrix of parameter estimates (cov)). How can I do this? Thanks, Andr?? -- Andr?? Tavares Corr??a Dias Laborat??rio de Ecologia Vegetal Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro CCS-IB-Departamento de Ecologia Caixa Postal 68020

Hello, This is my first post in this e-mail list and I hope it's enough to justify calling for help. In case it's not, sorry. I'm trying to do analysis and graphics using a factor as a criteria to split data and do the analysis/graphics for each subset of data. Right now what I'm trying to do is to fit and plot the following logistic model, according to a third variable named

Hi Rneters, I'm running a GLM model with a full factorial design in blocks and binomial error distribution. I would like to have the F values for this model but I got a message that "using F test with a binomial family is inappropriate in: anova.glm(model, test = "F")". Should I not report F statistics on this kind of analysis? I would appreciate any comment on this.

Hello everyone, I'm having a big trouble with which seems to be a bug in as.POSIXct() date-time conversion. I have massive GPS datasets in which each location has it's own date and time attribute. As I convert them to POSIXct format, 1300 cases (of about half a million locations) simply return NA values. I picked up a small sample of failed cases and normal cases to demonstrate the

*Hello all ** I am a newbie to R plotting maps. I am trying to plot over a world map a layer of Biogeochemical provinces (BGCP) by A.R. Longhurst. Each ocean region unfortunately are quite irregular in shape (not perfect squares). In GIS this layer of ocean provinces would be a layer of polygons, which I am assuming it cannot be plotted with R. I was wondering If anybody has encounter this

Hi I have tryed to do the meta-regression in metafor package, but I would like to get the standardized coefficients for each variable, however in command:   Ø  res<-rma.uni (yi, vi, method="REML", mods=~cota+DL+uso+gadiente+idade, data= turbidez)   I just have the coefficients no standardized (estimate) of the multiple regression. What I need to do? Thanks Fernanda Melo

Dear all I have Kubuntu linux and have updated to the latest version (6.06 dapper). I do not know why but now I can not make no plots. For instance, when I type >hist(...) this is the message I get: >can't find X11 font > Error in X11 (display, width, heigth......) > unable to start devide X11 > In addition: Warning messages: > 1:locale not supported by Xlib: some X ops

Hi again, thank you for your previous answers. Just another question, though ... I get the following variance components after fitting a mixed model. Groups Name Variance Std.Dev.

Hi, I am new to this list as a poster, but a reader for some time. I've using R for several weeks now, and I have a lot of questions about certain procedures. Here I go: I want to test if there are differences in the time spent by pollinators visiting flowers of a given plant species, according to a number of experimental manipulations made on those flowers. All experimental

Dear R users, The parameters xaxs and yaxs (function par, package graphics) seem not to work with the function hist (package graphics), even when the parameters xlim and ylim are defined. Is there any way to make yaxs="i" and xaxs="i" work properly with the function hist, mainly to produce histograms that "touch" the horizontal axis? The R documentation and the R

Hi there Sorry for what may be a naive or dumb question. I have the following data: > x <- c(1,2,3,4) # predictor vector > y <- c(2,4,6,8) # response vector. Notice that it is an exact, perfect straight line through the origin and slope equal to 2 > error <- c(0.3,0.3,0.3,0.3) # I have (equal) ``errors'', for instance, in the measured responses Of course the

Greetings, I have some confusion with the use of if - else. Let's say I have a four variables as follows: Condition DateFound DateFirstEvent DateSecondEvent NA 10Jan2000 NA NA 0 05Jan2000 07Jan2000 10Jan2000 1 07Jan2000 07Jan2000

Dear all, I often use dates and times in analyses. I just can't figure out how to format my date or time column in R. So, apparently R sees the date as something other than date (character). Let's say I am opening a CSV file, one of the columns of which is a date or time. How do I specify that when opening the file? Thanks for the help, Jim --

Hello, I have multiple data sets I would like to plot on the same XY scatterplot. The data sets have in common the same Y values. Could somebody tell me how to do this? I tried par(T=new) (I think this was it) but it literally overlays plots on each other. Thanks in advance. George

Dear all, I have one Model (M3) fitted using the lme package, and I have checked the correlation structure of within-group errors using plot(ACF (M3,maxLag=10),alpha=0.05) But now I am not sure how to interpret this plot for the empirical autocorrelation function. The problem is that I am used to see/interpret diagrams in which all the autocorrelation Lags, except lag-1, are inside the
