Hi people, I need to prove the good quality of numerical accuracy of R. Anyone knows a paper or anything else comparing R to other statistical softwares in terms of numerical accuracy. I've made a long search about that but I found nothing. Please help me!! Thanx, Talita Leite ------------------------------------------------- Este e-mail foi enviado pelo Webmail da UFAL IMP:

Hello, While doing test of normality under R and SAS, in order to prove the efficiency of R to my company, I notice that Anderson Darling, Cramer Van Mises and Shapiro-Wilk tests results are quite the same under the two environnements, but the Kolmogorov-smirnov p-value really is different. Here is what I do: > ks.test(w,pnorm,mean(w),sd(w)) One-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test data: w D

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) *

NIST maintains a repository of Statistical Reference Datasets at http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/strd/. I have been working through the datasets to compare R's results to their references with the hope that if all works well, this could become a validation package. All the linear regression datasets give results with some degree of accuracy except one. The NIST model includes 11 parameters,

Dear Users! I encountered with some problem in data reading while I challenged R (and me too) in a validation point of view. In this issue, I tried to utilize some reference datasets ( http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/strd/index.html). And the result departed a bit from my expectations. This dataset dedicated to challenge cancellation and accumulation errors (case SmLs07), that's why this

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all - As I progress in R I am trying to automate functions I would have normally farmed out to Excel, SPSS or Statistica. Single factor anova is one of them. For example, a dataset from NIST StRD (http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/strd/anova/AtmWtAg.html) has two groups: 1 2 107.8681568 107.8681079 107.8681465 107.8681344

Greetings R-help! I'm fairly new to R and am trying to expand my knowledge beyond using R for simple summary statistics and basic tests. To that end I am attempting to write an interactive R-script that will perform a general rational function fit to a given dataset based on the example given at http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/pmd/section6/pmd64.htm. The problem that I seem to have

My thanks to Drs. Armstrong, Bates, Harrell, Liaw, Lumley, Prager, Schwartz, and Mr. Wang for their replies. I have pasted my original message and their replies below. After viewing http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/strd/ as suggested by Dr. Schwartz, it occurred to me that it might be educational to search for some data repositories on google. I was able to find some,though I'm sure many of

I?m trying to find datasets that will give me residuals, after applying the lm function, with no normality, non linearity, and heteroscedacity so I can try to exemplify those cases in the linear regression model. Can you give any advice on what datasets would be appropiate? I can?t use the ones in the alr3 package because those have already been seen in class. Thank you very much :-) natorro

Hi All, Is the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm available in R. This method combines the steepest descent algorithm and Newton's method.

Folks: I thought the following excerpt from Bruce McCullough's post would be a good candidate for the R fortunes package -- except that it's about Excel, not R! So I nominate it... but leave it to others to say whether it's really "qualified" to be nominated. ---- "The idea that the Excel solver "has a good reputation for being fast and accurate" does not

The idea that the Excel solver "has a good reputation for being fast and accurate" does not withstand an examination of the Excel solver's ability to solve the StRD nls test problems. Solver's ability is abysmal. 13 of 27 "answers" have zero accurate digits, and three more have fewer than two accurate digits -- and this is after tuning the solver to get a good

Hi, I think I discovered a major armv7 optimization bug in Clang. I create a simple test case which exhibits the issue. When you compile the attached file for armv7 with optimizations turned on (O2, O3 or Os), the binary generated led to a crash. The issue can't be reproduced when using GCC 4.2. It can't be reproduced with Clang when the optimization is turned off (O0). This issue can be

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'm a new user of R, and I have a question regarding the use of aov and lm-functions. I'm doing a fractional factorial experiment at our production site, and I need to familiarize myself with the analysis before I conduct the experiment. I've been working my way through the examples provided at http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/pri/section4/pri472.htm

The problem is in your code, not the compiler. You're casting an unaligned char* to an int*, even though an int* pointer must be 4-byte aligned in every ARM ABI that I've ever seen.

I was going through this example of maxent use: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/maxent/maxent.pdf # LOAD LIBRARY library(maxent) # READ THE DATA, PREPARE THE CORPUS, and CREATE THE MATRIX data <- read.csv(system.file("data/NYTimes.csv.gz",package="maxent")) corpus <- Corpus(VectorSource(data$Title[1:150])) matrix <- DocumentTermMatrix(corpus) # TRAIN/PREDICT

Hi, I have two sets of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value, and accuracy from two tests on the same subjects. Is there an R package that does such paired comparisons? Thanks, Gang Chen
