similar to: Kolmogorov-Smirnof test for lognormal distribution with estimated parameters

Hello there, I am presently using the locfit package in "R" and would appreciate some help here. Could anyone tell me tell me how I can obtain the various components (x and y values)of the density estimation after using the "R" command "locfit"? For example, with the command "fhat<-density(somename)" I can obtain the x and y values by simply calling

Hi all, I am a freshman of R,but I am interested in it! Those days,I am learning pages on NIST,with url http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section3/probplot.htm, I am meeting a problem about probability plot and I don't know how to plot a data set with R. Could somebody tell me the answer,and a example is the best! I will look forward to your answer. Thank you very much.

hello! i don't want to test my sample data for normality, but exponential- lognormal- or gammadistribution. as i've learnt the anderson-darling-test in R is only for normality and i am not supposed to use the kolmogorov-smirnov test of R for parameter estimates from sample data, is that true? can you help me, how to do this anyway! thank you very much! nadja

Suppose I have a list where I want to extract only the elements that occur in every component. For instance in the list foo I want to know that the numbers 2 and 3 occur in every component. The solution I have seems unnecessarily clunky. TIA, Andy foo <- list(x = 1:10, y=2:11, z=1:3) bar <-unlist(foo) bartab <- table(bar) as.numeric(names(bartab)[bartab==length(foo)])

Hi, Does anyone know what the mean value of a lognormal distribution in base-2 is? I am simulating stochastic population growth and if I were working in base-e, I would do:lambda <- 1.1 #multiplicative growth rates <- 0.6 #stochasticity (std. dev)lognormal <- rlnorm(100000, log(lambda) - (s^2)/2, s)## or lognormal <- exp( rnorm( 100000, log(lambda) - (s^2)/2,

Dear List, I have read that a lognormal mixture model having a pdf of the form f(x)=w1*f1(x)+(1-w1)*f2(x) fits most data sets quite well, where f1 and f2 are lognormal distributions. Any pointers on how to create a function that would produce the 5 parameters of f(x) would be greatly appreciated. > version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386 os

Dear all, I want to compare some different models for a dataset by QQ plots and AIC. I get the following AICs: - linear model: 19759.66 - GAMLSS model: 18702.7 - linear model with lognormal response: -7862.182 The QQ plots show that the lognormal model fits better than the linear model, but still much worse than the GAMLSS. So, in my opinion, the AIC of the lognormal model should be between the

Dear R users I use simulated data to evaluate a model by sampling the parameters in my model from lognormal distributions. I would like these (lognormal distributed) parameters to be correlated, that is, I would like to have pairwise samples of 2 parameters with a given correlation coefficient. I have seen that a covariance matrix can be fixed when generating random variables from a

Dear, I'm very new to R Gui and I have to make an assignment on Gamma Regressions. Surfing on the web doesn't help me very much so i hope this forum may be a step forward. The question sounds as follows: The data set is in the library MASS first install library(MASS) then type data(mammals) attach(mammals) Assignment: Fit the gamma model and lognormal model for the mammals data.

Hi, What does it mean to say Lognormal distribution with a mean of 1.03E-6 with a range factor of 100 ? How can I find the lognormal distribution paramters from this information? Thanks, Tims [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I'm playing around with gamlss and don't entirely understand the sigma result from an attempted lognormal fit. In the example below, I've created lognormal data with mu=10 and sigma=2. When I try a gamlss fit, I get an estimated mu=9.947 and sigma=0.69 The mu estimate seems in the ballpark, but sigma is very low. I get similar results on repeated trials and with Normal and

Hi R Users, I'm going to estimate via. ML the parameters in Poisson Lognormal model. The model is: x | lambda ~ Poisson(lambda) lambda ~ Lognormal(a,b) Unfortunately, I haven't found a useful package allowing for such estimation. I tried to use "poilog" package, but there is no equations and it's hard to understand what exactly this package really does. Using it I get the

I am trying to fit a lognormal distribution to a set of data and test its goodness of fit with regard to predicted values. I managed to get so far: > y <- c(2,6,2,3,6,7,6,10,11,6,12,9,15,11,15,8,9,12,6,5) > library(MASS) > fitdistr(y,"lognormal",start=list(meanlog=0.1,sdlog=0.1)) meanlog sdlog 1.94810515 0.57091032 (0.12765945) (0.09034437) But I would

Hi, I am trying to learn lognormal mixture models with EM. I was wondering how does one compute the log likelihood. The current implementation I have is as follows, which perform really bad in learning the mixture models. __BEGIN__ # compute probably density of lognormal. dens <- function(lambda, theta, k){ temp<-NULL meanl=theta[1:k] sdl=theta[(k+1):(2*k)]

I'm trying to produce empirical bayes estimates based on the lognormal model in disease mapping Is there a way this can be done in R? thanks Oarabile

Hi all, I have a data of lognormal distribution (sample size > 1,000,000). What I want to do is 1) to test if my dataset is a lognormal distribution or not (Histogram shows a nice normal distribution in log scale but I want to check) 2) two subsets from this dataset have same mean or not (like "t test" of normal distribution) What I tried are 1) ad.test{truncgof} of R, which is a

Hi and thanks in advance to everyone who will be able to help me. I have 2 independent lognormal distributions with different means and sd. I want to plot them togheter in a 3D plot. How can i do this??? I'm getting crazy...

I'm attempting to do model selection with AIC, using a glm and a lognormal distribution, but: fit1<-glm(BA~Year,data=pdat.sp1.65.04, family=gaussian(link="log")) ## gives the same result as either of the following: fit1<-glm(BA~Year,data=pdat.sp1.65.04, family=gaussian) fit1<-lm(BA~Year,data=pdat.sp1.65.04) fit1 #Coefficients: #(Intercept) Year2004 # -1.6341

I am trying to plot a lognormal density curve on top of an existing histogram. Can anybody suggest a simple way to do this? Even if someone could just explain how to plot a regular normal density curve on top of an existing histogram, it would be a big help. Also, is there some way to search through the R-help archives other than simple browsing? Thank you so much. Your help and time is greatly
