DeaR R-useRs, I'm trying to fit a logist model with these data: > dati y x 1 1 37 2 1 35 3 1 33 4 1 40 5 1 45 6 1 41 7 1 42 8 0 20 9 0 21 10 0 25 11 0 27 12 0 29 13 0 18 I use glm(), having this output: > g<-glm(y~x,family=binomial,data=dati) Warning messages: 1: Algorithm did not converge in: glm.fit(x = X, y = Y, weights = weights, start = start, etastart =

Hello all, Would somebody be kind enough to show me how to do a KS test in R for a lognormal distribution with ESTIMATED parameters. The R function ks.test()says "the parameters specified must be prespecified and not estimated from the data" Is there a way to correct this when one uses estimated data? Regards, Kwabena. -------------------------------------------- Kwabena Adusei-Poku

Hi, you can address to a single ts in a multivariate ts object by namets[,index]. See this example: > dati X Y 1 100 200 2 150 210 3 180 220 4 200 230 5 220 250 > serie<-ts(dati,start=1999) > serie Time Series: Start = 1999 End = 2003 Frequency = 1 X Y 1999 100 200 2000 150 210 2001 180 220 2002 200 230 2003 220 250 > serie[,1] ## first ts Time Series: Start =

Dear R-useRs, I've written a contribute (in Italian language) concering fitting distribution with R. I believe it could be usefull for someones. It's available on CRAN web-site: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Ricci-distribuzioni.pdf Here's the abstract: This paper deals with distribution fitting using R environment for statistical computing. It treats briefly some

Hallo, does anybody know if there is an implementation of the Spearman rank correlation in R that gives a correct (or at least 'safe') p-value in the case of ties?? I have browsed the R-help archives but I found nothing. Thanks a lot in advance for any help, Antonino Casile

Hi list, I have a group of data. It looks like they follow a exponential distribution. In R, how can I esimate lamda, that is the rate in pexp, of the distribution and can I use Kolmogorov-Smirnov for hypothesis testing in such a situation? I have read the "8.2 Examing the distribution of a set of data" of "An Introduction to R" but I did not find any clues on this issue.

Good evening, I need to fit experimental distributions by theoretical ones. I know that it is possible in the package MASS but I don't know how to install it. Can you help me? Thank you, Angela

Hello all, Im just beggining using R. I have read a couple of introductory documents but they are very general. Is there a document focused on classification? (this is what Ill be using R for). Examples would be just fine. Thanks in advance, Ulises

Dear colleagues, has anyone an idea how to carry out a nonparametric manova for comparing 3 groups? Thank you for your help. Vera

Dear all, I would like to know that R has the function for garch-t,gjr- garch,qgarch and egarch. Best Regards, Luck

Given a numeric vector of observations, does R have any generic way to estimate the parameters of commonly used distributions (exponential, gamma, etc.) without numerically optimizing the likelihood function?

Dear R-Users, How can I use chisq.test() as a goodness of fit test? Reading man-page I?ve some doubts that kind of test is available with this statement. Am I wrong? X2=sum((O-E)^2)/E) O=empirical frequencies E=expected freq. calculated with the model (such as normal distribution) See: http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section3/eda35f.htm for X2 used as a goodness of fit test. Any

Hi, is there a test for the H0 skewness=0 (or with skewness as test statistic and normality as H0) implemented in R?

R people, I need to know if is possible to make data mining with R. If so, is there any manual or somewhere/one to consult about that. Thank you very much Adri?n

Hi, there. I have two questions about the diagnostics in multivarite statistics. 1. Is there any diagnostics tool to check if a multivariate sample is from multivariate normal distribution? If there is one, is there any function doing it in R? 2. Is there any function of testing if two multivariate distribution are same, i.e. the multivariate extension of Kolomogrov-Smirnov test? Thanks for

Hello, I'm trying to calculate a chi-squared test to see if my data are different from the theoretical distribution or not: chisq.test(rbind(c(79, 52, 69, 71, 82, 87, 95, 74, 55, 78, 49, 60),c(80,80,80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80))) Pearson's Chi-squared test data: rbind(c(79, 52, 69, 71, 82, 87, 95, 74, 55, 78, 49, 60), c(80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80,

Hello, R users, I am a very beginner of R and tried read.csv to import an excel file after saving an excel file as csv. But it added alternating rows of fictitious NA values after row number 16. When I applied read.delim, there were trailing several commas at the end of each row after row number 16 instead of NA values. Appreciate your help. Kyong [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi! I am searching for the Cochran-Armitage-trend-test. Is it included in an R-package? Thank you! --

When using fitdistr() with the exponential, log-normal and beta distributions, you get the relevent rate, mean, standard deviation, shape1 and shape2 but you get a number bellow those that are in () and I was wandering what exactly those numbers represent and how they relate to the data.
