Greetings. I'm trying to recreate in R some regression models I've done in SAS, but I'm not getting the same results. My advisor suspects this may be due to differences in precision between R and SAS. Does anyone know where I can find specifications for R's type double? (It doesn't seem to be in the R Language Definition.) Thanks in advance for any help anyone can

Greetings. Yesterday I managed to jury-rig a system to get a table out of R and import it into Nisus Writer Express (a word processor for Mac OS X). What I came up with is brittle, since it depends on an AppleScript script which has to be in a specific location and on no one touching the computer, since the AppleScript remotely controls Nisus Writer Express rather blindly and will make

Greetings. Is there any way to get R to take a regression model object and draw a plot of the regression function? How about overlaying that plot over a scatterplot of the actual data? Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide. Aaron ----- Aaron Solomon??

Greetings. I'm getting started learning R, and I'm trying to reproduce some models I've done previously in SAS. I'm trying to fit simple Poisson regressions, and I keep getting impossible results: the models predict negative numbers of cases for many observations. The code for the models are: Female.model <- glm(Observed ~ Black + Other, family = poisson(link=log),

Hello I am having an R related problem and can't seem to fix it by looking at any of the online documentation. I have a laptop (using Windows XP home edition) and loaded R 2.2.1. I then designated a mirror (USA-NC). But when I try to load a package, it freezes. I have tried to close R, but it won't close; I end up having to restart the laptop. I have no problems with any other

The lowess() help page refers to documentation in "src/appl/lowess.doc". This was moved to "src/library/stats/src/lowess.doc" in 2007. This patch fixes it: Index: src/library/stats/man/lowess.Rd =================================================================== --- src/library/stats/man/lowess.Rd (revision 79137) +++ src/library/stats/man/lowess.Rd (working copy) @@

Hi, A lowess method is defined in our package for one of our S4 classes. To explicitely define the generic this is being used if (!isGeneric("lowess")) setGeneric("lowess", useAsDefault = lowess) This works fine for many other methods inherited from various R packages. In this case a warning is issued in R CMD check: * checking R code for possible problems ... NOTE

Colleagues ---------------------------------- System info: R version rw1022 on NT ESS v. 5.1.18 using emacs ver. 20.4 ---------------------------------- I would like to access the residuals from a lowess fit (function lowess() ) as an aid to assessing whether I am over-smoothing or under-smoothing a dataset (as in Cleveland's book "Visualizing data", section 3.3) Unless I

As I've mentioned a number of times. I find it very useful to have lowess() become a generic function so that a lowess.formula() can be defined. Below is a patch that makes both changes, as well as updating the corresponding help documentation. Gregory R.

Greetings. Yesterday I decided to try out Rcmdr, but it refused to load. I traced the problem to the library tcltk, which when I tried to load it told me this: > > library(tcltk) > Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... Error in fun(...) : > Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories: > @TCL_IN_FRAMEWORK@ @TCL_IN_FRAMEWORK@ > > > > This probably

Hi, all, I want to use lowess(x, y) where x and y are vectors of length of 4000+. In fact, x and y are log of some vectors. So, some of the elements are NaN. lowess() can not take away those elements then do the fitting. It will give the error message and do nothing. 1. Can anybody tell me how to get rid of those NaN's and use lowess()? 2. How to get the LOWESS fitting values for any

Hello Masters, I run the loess() function to obtain local weighted regressions, given lowess() can't handle NAs, but I don't improve significantly my situation......, actually loess() performance leave me much puzzled.... I attach my easy experiment below #------SCRIPT---------------------------------------------- #I explore the functionalities of lowess() & loess() #because I have

Dear Colleagues: I need to make a graphic that uses the Nimbus rather than Helvetica font family so that the font can be embedded in the encapsulated postscript file. This is to satisfy a requirement from a journal for electronic submission of figures. I do the following: postscript('lowess.eps', onefile=FALSE, pointsize=18, horizontal=FALSE, family='NimbusSan')

hi: apologies for taking up everyone's time. my problem is probably documented somewhere, but I again cannot find it. (which reminds me: I cannot find a search engine that allows me to search the archives of this very useful mailing list.) * it seems that lines(lowess()) fails to plot certain line segments. (and, what does it do at the x-min and x-max of a data set?) Rather than

Hi there, I'm plotting some glass RI values just by plotting plot(x) then I put on my lowess smoother lines(lowess(x)) now I want to put on some 95% Confidence Interval bands of the lowess smoother, but don't know how??

I'm using this code to plot a smoothed line. These two columns of data really represent 4 groups and I'd like to plot a separate line for each group but have them all in the same plot. The R-Docs for lowess do not seem to indicate some type of "GROUPS=var_name" option. What would be the syntax for this? plot(AWGT ~ lipid ) lines(lowess(lipid , AWGT, f=.8)) -- Dean

Hi, I have a scatter plot of the variables GNI and Lifeexp (Gross National Income and Life Expectancy, both metric). So I plotted them and I want to add a regression line and a lowess line. I use lowess and not loess because I have missing values. My code: plot(GNI,Lifeexp) abline(lm(Lifeexp~GNI), col="red") y.loess<-loess(Lifeexp~GNI,na. action = na.exclude)
