similar to: geoR/variog4() not returning all directions

I'm using R for Mac OSX version 1.14 (2129) and the geoR package version 1.6-5 (the current version in the R repository). I'm running R in OS 10.4.6 on a Mac G4 iBook (933MHz, 640 MB DDR SDRAM). I searched the R archive and did not find a posting on this issue. I want to use the variog and variog4 functions of geoR to characterize the pattern of spatial autocorrelation of tree

Hello, I am attempting to get the standard deviation in multiple distance bins in my spatial data. It appears as though the 'variog' command in the geoR package will do the trick, as one of the outputs from 'variog' is 'variog$sd', which, according to the manual, is the "standard deviation of the values in each bin". However, when I run this command, the

How do I cite a package (not R itself - I know how to do that)? Any thoughts or links? Many thanks in advance? Hank Stevens Dr. Martin Henry H.

Hello R list, I need to compute empirical variograms using data from a large geographic area (~10^6 km2). Although I could not find a specific reference, I assume that both geoR and gstat calculate distances among data points assuming points are on a flat surface (using the Pythagorean Theorem). Because the location of my data is large and located near the pole, assuming that latitude and

Hi, I want to automatically fit variograms to a large number of different sample data sets, and call the funtion "likfit" (in package geoR) from within a for-loop. "likfit" does again call "optim". After ssuccessfully fitting variograms to some of the data sets, the procedure crashes and I get the error message: Error in optim(par = ini, fn = negloglik.GRF,

Dear GeoR-er, If I use the variog function in the latest release of geoR, the first lag is always ignored. For instance, if you read in geodata, calculates the variogram using the variog function and give in a uvec like uvec=seq(0,max,by=2.44), it only starts giving results from distance=4.88 and ignores 2.44! This wasn't the case in former versions of geoR. Is this done on purpose? Why?

I was trying to help someone who used a spanish keyboard on a PC running Windows. he discovered that he had no tilde key. Does anyone know of any simple work-arounds?

Dear all, I'm trying to fit a variogram model using variofit function in geoR package. There is an option to fix the nugget but is there anyway to force the variogram sill to equal some defined value? I'm working with standardized longitudinal data so the process variance is 1 and I'd like to force the sill of the variogram to reach this value (and prevent it from going

Hi Folks, How do I get red bold font on my y axis and black standard font on my x axis? plot(runif(10), ylab="Red, Bold?", xlab="Black, standard?") Any pointers or examples would be great. Thanks!

Hi All, I am running R 2.2.0 on Mac OS 10.4.2, dual G5 processors with 8 Gig RAM. I am running a simulation with lsoda that requires ~378 s to complete one set of time intervals. I need to optimize the parameters, and so need to considerably speed up the simulation. I have tried to figure out how to change the appropriate memory allocation and have search R help and Introductory

Hi, I'm a new R user. My goal is to do a variogram using geoR. I started by trying to do the example in the geoR Illustrative Session using my own data. I am able to read in my Ascii data using: D <- matrix(scan("file.dat", n=530*3), 530,3, byrow=TRUE). Then I use: as.geodata(D, coords.col=1:2, data.col=3) to make the object D geodata. I check the descriptive statistics,

Hi Folks, I was wondering what everyone thought about adding a sentence to each package update announcement that described what the package did. R extensions are so numerous that it is difficult to keep up with them. Would it be appropriate to ask package developers to add a brief sentence about what the package does, when they announce updates? I would benefit from such descriptions.

Hello All! I calculate a variogram using the function variog (package geoR) afterwards I use variofit to fit a spherical model (see code below). Now I just changed the units of the variable (in this case MPa to kPa just a factor of 1000). If I do so, I get a different fit and therefore different ranges etc. Why? The semi-variance is of course 6 orders of magnitude higher but the values

My apologies in advance for my thickness but I can't seem to solve the following, seemingly simple, data manipulation problem: I have a data frame that contains multiple factors and multiple continuous response variables, but duplicates of some factor combinations. The duplicates contain bad data, so I would like to eliminate the duplicates. I would like to retain the entire rows

Dear R users, I am putting together reading and resources lists for spatial statistics and spatial econometrics and am looking for some pointers from more experienced practitioners. In particular, I find two "camps" in spatial modelling, and am wondering which approach is better suitied to which situation. The first camp is along the lines of Venables and Ripley's Chapter 14

ComRades: I am geeting the error message Error in ldots[[which(MET)]] : attempt to select less than one element when I try to fit the geostatistical model with the likfit() function of geoR. I have tried with old data for which likfit() successfully maximised the likelihood in previous versions of geoR, and yet the current version fails. I have tried in Windows Vista and Windows XP (I haven't

Hi Folks, I think I have searched exhaustively, including, of course R-help (D. Bates, S. Graves, and others) and but I remain uncertain about testing fixed effects with lmer(..., family=binomial). I gather that mcmcsamp does not work with Do we rely exclusively on z values of model parameters, or could we use anova() with likelihood ratios, AIC and BIC, with (or without)

Hello all: I frequently have glm models in which the residual variance is much lower than the residual degrees of freedom (e.g. Res.Dev=30.5, Res.DF = 82). Is it appropriate for me to use a quasipoisson error distribution and test it with an F distribution? It seems to me that I could stand to gain a much-reduced standard error if I let the procedure estimate my dispersion factor (which

Hi - I am getting different results when I run the numerical integrator function lsoda (odesolve package) on a Mac and a PC. I am trying to simulating a system of 10 ODE's with two exogenous pulsed inputs to the system, and have had reasonably good success with many model parameter sets. Under some parameter sets, however, the simulations fail on the Mac (see error message below). The
