similar to: Pb with ks.test pvalue

Hello everyone, I'm trying to test the accurracy of R on the Eckerle4 dataset from NIST and I don't understand how the control option of the nls function works. I tought nls(...) was equivalent to nls(...control=nls.control()) i.e nls.control() was the default value of control, but here is the error I get : > n2=nls(V1~(b1/b2) *

All, Happy World Cup and Wimbledon. This morning finds me with the first of my many daily questions. I am running a ks.test on residuals obtained from a regression model. I use this code: > ks.test(Year5.lm$residuals,pnorm) and obtain this output One-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test data: Year5.lm$residuals D = 0.7196, p-value < 2.2e-16 alternative hypothesis: two.sided Warning

I'm using ks.test() to compare two different measurement methods. I don't really know how to interpret the output in the absence of critical value table of the D statistic. I guess I could use the p-value when available. But I also get the message "cannot compute correct p-values with ties ..." does it mean I can't use ks.test() for these data or I can still use the D

Hello, I am trying to test the precision of R on datasets from The Statistical Reference Datasets Project http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/strd/index.html and I don't manage to understand how R is storing its results. For example, I calculate a mean on the michelso dataset (100 values) and find: > m=mean(michel) > m V1 299.8524 > print(m,digits=15) V1 299.8524

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

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?

Hi, I'm trying to evaluate a Monte Carlo p-value (using truncgof package) on a left truncated sample. >From an empirical sample I've estimated a generalized pareto distribution parameters (xi, beta, threshold) (I've used fExtremes pkg). I'm in doubt on what of the following command is the most appropriate: Let: x<-sample t<-threshold xt<-x[x>t] xihat<-gpdFit(x,

Hi I just started using RGui.exe under widnows. I have a text file containing date arranged in columns and rows, each column has the same format, each row with different formats. 3 of the columns are something like this 1/12/2006 3:59:45 PM I need to calculate the different in seconds between 2 selected periods using their row’s index My solution: Read the file in a data frame and

Hello :) I have two data frames, one has properties taken on a piece by piece basis and the other has performance on a lot by lot basis. I wish to combine these two data frames but the problem is that each lot has multiple pieces and hence i need to take a mean of the properties of multiple pieces and match it to the row having data about the lot. I was wondering if there is a simple commmand,

Dear R-core There is a different output for the apply function due to the change of unlist as mentioned in the R news. Newly, applying as.factor() (or factor()) in str(dat <- data.frame(x = 1:10, f1 = gl(2,5,labels = c("A", "B")))) (d1 <- apply(dat,2,as.factor)) newly returns a character matrix while in R-2.3.1 the same command resulted in an integer matrix that was

Hello everbody, i'm currently using the anova()-test for a small data.frame of 40 rows and 2 columns. It works well, but is there any preconditions for a valid variance analysis, that i should consider? Thank you for your answer, Daniel

Dear R-list I have a question concerning the argument "adjustSigma" in the function "lme" of the package "nlme". The help page says: "the residual standard error is multiplied by sqrt(nobs/(nobs - npar)), converting it to a REML-like estimate." Having a look into the code I found: stdFixed <- sqrt(diag(as.matrix(object$varFix))) if (object$method

hi list, i have to ask you again, having tried and searched for several days... i want to do a TukeyHSD after an Anova, and want to get the adjusted p-values after the Tukey Correction. i found the p.adjust function, but it can only correct for "holm", "hochberg", bonferroni", but not "Tukey". Is it not possbile to get adjusted p-values after

I have some doubts about the validity of my procedure to estimeate linear contrasts ina a factorial design. For sake of semplicity, let's imagine a one way ANOVA with three levels. I am interested to test the significance of the difference between the first and third level (called here contrast C1) and between the first and the seconda level (called here contrast C2). I used the following

hi all, I wish to draw on the same graphic device 3 functions. But i don't want them to be on different graph, i want to compare them on the same I don't need mfrow or mfcol, I need something else... 1 graph on 1 device inside this graph 3 ploted function. I saw something unsing data.frame, but i think it's overkill, and something less complicated must exist, if not why? why not

Hello Could you please suggest a way to find out the r square values for each independent variable while using "lm" for developing a multiple linear regression model. Thank you avneet "I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories instead of theories to suit facts." ~ Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Hi In mixed-model with lme() How can I obtain Type II SS or Type III SS for fixed effect? Thanks Julien

Hi, I'm studying math, and i have to make an analysys using Randomised Block Design. I have two factors, i know how to do this in Statistica, but how to do this in R, i read some manuals but the only thing that i have found was 2 factor ANOVA. Please could someone help me, or give some usefull links ?? Krzytsztof Suwada

Hi All. I need a bit of help extracting the residual error variance from the VarCorr structure from lmer. #Here's a 2-way random effects model lmer.1 <- lmer(rating ~ (1|person)+(1|rater), data = dat) #Get the structure vc.fit <- VarCorr(lmer.1) #results in..... $person 1 x 1 Matrix of class "dpoMatrix" (Intercept) (Intercept) 0.7755392 $rater 1 x 1 Matrix

useRs, A no doubt simple question, but I am baffled. Indeed, I think I once knew the answer, but can't recover it. The default contrasts for aov (and lm, and...) are contr.treatment and contr.poly for unordered and ordered factors, respectively. But, how does one invoke the latter? That is, in a data.frame, how does one indicate that a factor is an *ordered* factor such that
