Hello ALL! Can anyone tell me how to specify qqmath() function with distribution qgamma? In help it is bit vague how to pass shape and scale parameters for gamma. Thank you in advance. Best, PM

Hi, I have the following vector which is created from 3 distinct distribution (three components) of gamma: x=c(rgamma(30,shape=.2,scale=14),rgamma(30,shape=12,scale=10),rgamma(30,shape=5,scale=6)) I want to plot the density curve of X, in a way that it shows a distinct 3 curves that represent each component. How can I do that? I tried this but doesn't work: lines(density(x)) Please

Hello! I am trying with this question again: I would like to test few distributional assumptions for some behavioral response data. There are few theories about true distribution of those data, like: normal, lognormal, gamma, ex-Gaussian (exponential-Gaussian), Wald (inverse Gaussian) etc. The best way would be via qq-plot, to show to students differences. First two are trivial: qqnorm(dat$X)

Doese anyone know a R function to find the median of a gamma distribution? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

dgamma and friends in S are documented as dgamma(x, shape, rate=1) pgamma(q, shape, rate=1) qgamma(p, shape, rate=1) rgamma(n, shape, rate=1) whereas R has dgamma(x, shape, scale=1, log = FALSE) pgamma(q, shape, scale=1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE) qgamma(p, shape, scale=1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE) rgamma(n, shape, scale=1) Note the use of rate vs scale. Indeed, as both S and

Exactly! Thanks, Duncan. Let me re-phrase me question like this: 1) X_i values are independent Gammas, with the shape 0.067 and scale 0.008 2) Min(X)=1 and Max(X)=85 3) SUM(X)=2000 4) Do I also have to define the number of draws? if yes, it could be 250. Based on these restrictions, I want to generate random draw. I'm wondering how I can do this in R. Thanks. Garry On Tue, Nov 10, 2009

Hi R Users This is a code I wrote and just want to confirm if the first 1000 values are raw gamma (z) and the next 1000 values are transformed gamma (k) or not. As I get 2000 rows once I import into excel, the p - values beyond 1000 dont look that good, they are very high. -- sink("a1.txt"); for (i in 1:1000) { x<-rgamma(10, 2.5, scale = 10) y<-rgamma(10, 2.5, scale = 10)

Dear R People, This question has nothing to do with R directly, but it is a simulation question. I need to generate a random variable distributed as gamma(\alpha,\beta), with the additional proviso that it must be a function of random variable(s) which do not depend on \alpha, \beta. In this case, I have \alpha = (T-1)/2, where T is a positive integer. So, it seems reasonable to first simulate

I'm looking for goodness of fit tests for gamma distributions with large data sizes. I have a matrix with around 10,000 data values in it and i have fitted a gamma distribution over a histogram of the data. The problem is testing how well that distribution fits. Chi-squared seems to be used more for discrete distributions and kolmogorov-smirnov seems that large sample sizes make it had to

I'm looking for goodness of fit tests for gamma distributions with large data sizes and for different data. I have a matrix with around 4.000 data values in it and i have fitted a gamma distribution with "fitdistr". You can see the example: > fitdistr(corpo,"gamma",lower=0.001) Errore in optim(x = c(5000, 5000, 5000, 5000, 5000, 5000, 5000, 5000, 5000, :

Dear R users, ?rgamma gives me : rgamma(n, shape, rate = 1, scale = 1/rate) rate: an alternative way to specify the scale. The Gamma distribution with parameters ‘shape’ = a and ‘scale’ = s has density f(x)= 1/(s^a Gamma(a)) x^(a-1) e^-(x/s) Should I understand that scale=1/rate ? Is it written somewhere ? Then

Dear all, I would be very grateful if you could help me with: Given the regularized gamma function Reg=int_0^r (x^(k-1)e^(-x))dx/int_0^Inf (x^(k-1)e^(-x))dx ; 0<r<Inf (which is eventually the ratio of the Incomplete gamma function by the gamma function), does anyone know of a package in R that would evaluate the derivative of the inverse of Reg with respect to k? I am aware that the

Hi, All: assume I need to generate X from inverse gamma with parameter (k, beta). should I generate from Y from gamma(-k, beta), then take X=1/Y? Thanks pat

Hi, I'm new to R and am hoping someone might be able to help with the following lme problem. I am trying to fit an ellipse equation to some spatial human factors data, varying the major and minor axes randomly and specifying an exp~ variogram for errors. Using normally-distributed random effects produces some -ve minor/major axes. I am hoping to be able to specify a gamma distribution to

Dear [R]-list, I'm looking for a classic equivalent of the wle.gamma function (library wle) that estimate robustly the shape and the scale parameters of gamma data. I have a vector of iid gamma rv : >data=rgamma(100,shape=10,scale=3) and a vector of their weights: >weights=c(rep(.5/70,70),rep(.25/20,20),rep(.25/10,10)) and want to estimate the scale and shape of the gamma

Hi there, I am relatively new user of R. I need to generate random number following Gamma distribution with mean 14 und st.dev 3. I read the help-text but I can not understand it well. Regards, Azizi [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R Users, I am trying to obtain a best-fit analytic distribution for a dataset with 11535459 entries. The data range in value from 1 to 300000000.
