similar to: function by

Hi list! I did the following regression: reg1 <- glm(alti~sp + ovent + vivent + nuage, family=gaussian, data=meteo1) I was interested in knowing the effect of the species (sp) in reg1 and so I used the function «effect»: effect.sp <- effect ("sp", reg1, se=TRUE) with this output: sp AK BW NH OS RT SS 2.730101 2.885363 2.753774 2.750311

I can't seem to be able to change the font size in an effect display. I've tried the following: > par(cex.lab=4) > plot(effect ("alti",reg8), ylab="detection probability") and > plot(effect ("alti",reg8), ylab="detection probability", cex=4) but nothing changes. Can anyone help me? thanks. Emilie Berthiaume graduate student

Hi, I'm a SAS user trying to convert myself to R but I still have problems with some pretty simple commands. First I wanted to add up a number of red-tailed hawks seen per day (julian day) per year. So I tried: RTyrday <- tapply(RThr,list(year,julian),sum) And then I tried the following regression: mod1 <- glm(RTyrday~julian+year, family=gaussian (link=identity),data=RT) Wich

I tried the following ordered logistic regression in R: mod1 <- polr(altitude~sp + wind_dir + wind_speed + hr, data=altioot) But when I asked The summary of my regression I got the folloing error message: > summary (mod1) Re-fitting to get Hessian Error in optim(start, fmin, gmin, method = "BFGS", hessian = Hess, ...) : the initial value of 'vmin' is not

Howdee, One of my student spotted something I can't explain: a probability >1 vs a normal probability density function. > dnorm(x=1, mean=1, sd=0.4) [1] 0.9973557 > dnorm(x=1, mean=1, sd=0.39) [1] 1.022929 > dnorm(x=1, mean=1, sd=0.3) [1] 1.329808 > dnorm(x=1, mean=1, sd=0.1) [1] 3.989423 > dnorm(x=1, mean=1, sd=0.01) [1] 39.89423 > dnorm(x=1, mean=1, sd=0.001) [1]

Howdee, My question appears at #6 below: 1. I want to model the growth of each of a large number of individuals using a 4-parameter logistic growth curve. 2. nlme does not converge with the random structure that I want to use. 3. nlsList does not converge for some individuals. 4. I decided to go around nlsList using: t(sapply(split(data, list(data$id)), function(subd){coef(nls(mass ~

Is there a way to apply a function, say cor(), to each combination of some number of variables, and this, without using loops? For example, I have day, hour, var1 and var2. How could I compute cor(var1,var2) for each day*hour combination and obtain a matrix with day, hour and the cor value for each combination?

Howdee, *** I know that the lmList() function exists, yet I don't want to use it. *** Would anyone be kind enough to tell how I can apply the function lm() to each level of a given factor so to obtain the intercept and slope for each factor level within a matrix? For instance, suppose a dataframe containing 3 variables: id, x and y. I want to compute the function lm() for each level

Howdee, I am able to fit a 4-parameter logistic growth curve to a dataset which comprise many individuals (using R v. 2.3.1). Yet, if I want to obtain the parameters for each individual (i.e., for each 'id') using nlsList, then I obtain an Error message which I have trouble interpreting. Any advice as to how I can solve this problem? Thanks for your time, Marc > reg <-nls(mass ~

Hi there, I have 3 numeric variables: day (e.g., 05), month (e.g., 06), year (e.g., 2009). I would like to create a (string) variable of the following form: month/day/year (e.g., 06/05/2009). I would be grateful to anyone who could point me toward a solution. Sincerely, Marc =================== Marc B?lisle Professeur agr?g?

Hello I am trying to plot a 20 x 20 grid of points with the colors of each point refering to percent cover of that specific point So basically the point are all the same size and their position on the graph is base on their coordinates (x,y). I want the color (a grey scale from white=0 to black =100) to represent the values of each of these point (cover) Here is what my data looks like

Hello, Is there a simple way to make a plot with xy coordinates and a z value which determines the size and the color of point on the plot? Thanks for your help !

Hello, I love the work that is being done with compiz! I have made a patch for water.c that makes the time between rain-drops adjustable using gconf. This way you can leave the plug-in running and just have pleasant drops every now and then instead of the rainstorm that is hard-coded in now (which is still fun now and then!). The gconf value is in ms (1/1000 of a second). Suggestions for

Dear R experts, For quite some time I have been trying to solve a mistery of reading a seemingly trouble-free text file. The data is temperature reconstruction arranged as a huge grid, preceded by seven "header lines" (which you see better if file is opened in Firefox or Chrome). This is the data (gridded temperature reconstruction)

Dear listers, I have a piece of code which performs an ANOVA type of analysis on 2D GC data. The code is shown below: # ANOVA 2D GC analysis # maxc <- number of samples # nreps <- number of samples maxc <- 2 nreps <- 4 sscl <- NULL cmean <- NULL # # Initial stat. variable # dftot <- nrow(mat)-1 dfcl <- maxc - 1 dferr <- dftot - dfcl totmean

Dear forumities, It's seem that there is no straight forward way to calculate R2 of a cluster solution in R. So, I would like to know if I'm right when calculating a R2-like statistic for a given clustering solution. In fact, I have different cluster solution for a given set of data. I would like to know which cluster solution gives the highest R2. My data (5 variables) are scaled to a 0

Hello. I have a script in which I repeatedly fit a nonlinear regression to a series of data sets using nls and the port algorithm from within a loop. The general structure of the loop is: for(i in 1:n){ … extract relevant vectors of dependent and independent variables … … estimate starting values for Amax and Q.LCP…

Hello Everyone, *Question: *How do you calculate the sum of squares for a two-way _unbalanced_ ANOVA? *What I have done:* I have found many useful tutorials online for running a balanced two-way ANOVA but I haven't had much luck for running a unbalanced two-way ANOVA. From what I have read, the trouble with running an unbalanced two-way ANOVA, is that things get tricky when calculating
