similar to: DOING CLUSTERING WITH THE EM ALGORITHM

Full_Name: Reinhold Bader Version: 2.1.0 OS: SLES 9 Submission from: (NULL) (129.187.48.1) I tried to build R using the Intel compilers (icc, ifort) and the Math Kernel Libraries for BLAS/LAPACK Optimizations used were -O3, and the FPICFLAGS="-fpic" was exported. The build failed with the following error message: ... dumping R code in package 'methods' Saving namespace image

Hello, I've got to compute a minimization equation under an equality constraint (Min g(x1,x2,x3) with x1+x2=const). The Constroptim function does not authorize an equality condition but only inequality conditions. Which function can I use instead? Thank you very much for your help.

Dear list users, I need to learn about MCMC methods, and since there are several packages in R that deal with this subject, I want to use them. I want to buy a book (or more than one, if necessary) that satisfies the following requirements: - it teaches well MCMC methods; - it is easy to implement numerically the ideas of the book, and notation and concepts are similar to the corresponding R

Hi, list, Sorry if I am bothering you. I am interested in using xgrid with R for distributed computing. I am using MacOS X and my R 2.1. 1 is already installed and running. The client computers are all of the same type and the same version of R has been installed on them. We have also set up xgrid on my system and client computers as well. I am wondering if any one can give me some clues

Hi all, I'm trying to estimate a nested model (purchase decision, cloglog formula, & quantity bought given a purchase, truncated Poisson). Some of the parameters are mixed (6) and 4 are fixed for all the respondent. The simulated ML (500 simulations) method forwards highly correlated estimates. After some research, Hybrid Monte Carlo seems to be a good alternative to estimate the model. I

I have some time stamped events that are supposed to be unrelated. I have plotted them and that assumption does not appear to be valid. http://metrak.com/tmp/sevents.png is a plot showing three sets of events over time. For the purpose of this exercise, the Y value is irrelevant. The series are not sampled at the same time and are not equispaced (just events in a log file). The plot is

Hello everyone, I'm working on a package using S4 classes and methods and I ran into the following "problem" when I tried to create an "apply" method for objects of one of my new classes. I've found a way around the problem but I wonder if I did not paint myself into the corner. I'd like your opinion about that. So I have an object "myObj" of class

Hi, There is something I don't get with object of class "mle" returned by a function I wrote. More precisely it's about the behaviour of method "confint" and "profile" applied to these object. I've written a short function (see below) whose arguments are: 1) A univariate sample (arising from a gamma, log-normal or whatever). 2) A character string

Hi All, I have a n x m matrix. The n rows are individuals, the m columns are variables. The matrix is in itself a collection of 1s (if a variable is observed for an individual), and 0s (is there is no observation). Something like: [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [1,] 1 0 1 1 0 0 [2,] 1 0 1 1 0 0 [3,] 1 0 1 1 0 0 [4,] 0 1 0

Hi, I woul like to know if it is possible to have a "R code" to generate EM Algorithm for a normal bivariate mixture. Best regard, S.F.

Hi, I got the same problem like http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/devel/04/11/1204.html R crashes when I use the em function from the mclust package on univariate data and on a special case on bivariate data (when the matrix is not provided as written in the manual). It seems as if the problem is the format of the data to be analyzed. Operating System: Windows XP (SP2) R version: R-2.0.1 The

Hi, I am looking for a package to do the clustering analysis using the expectation maximization algorithm. Thanks in advance. Ming

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to have a "R code" to estimate the parameters of a mixture of bivariate (or multivariate) normals via EM Algorithm. I tried to write it, but in the estimation of the matrix of variance and covariance, i have some problems. I generate two bidimensional vectors both from different distribution with their own vector means and variance and

I've been trying to install some R packages such as mclust and flexmix on linux but have had the following error messages. > I've been trying to install mclust on my notebook which has linpus linux lite os and I have installed R as well as some packages all right. However, when I tried to install mclust, it gave me the following messages. Any suggestions? Tim ++++++++++++++++

Hi, I'm trying to use the library mclust for gaussian mixture on a numeric vector. The function Mclust(data,G=3) is working fine but the fitting is not optimal and is using modelNames="E". When I'm trying Mclust(data,G=3,modelName="V") I have the following message: Error in if (Sumry$G > 1) ans[c(orderedNames, "z")] else ans[orderedNames] : argument is

Whenever I submit the following command >result <- em("E", m1, mu=c(25, 50), sigmasq=10, pro=c(0.49,0.51)) in MCLUST , I experience a problem with my Windows XP. Has anyone had this type of problem? I receive the general "send report" dialogue box and my program is no longer able to run. Should I change any of my system settings? Let me know if you think of anything

Hi, Before I write code to do it does anyone know of code for fitting mixtures of multivariate-t distributions. I can't use McLachan's EMMIX code because the license is "For non commercial use only". I checked, mclust and flexmix but both only do Gaussian. Thanks Nicholas

Hi, dear R experts . is there any package contain an universal EM procedure, that is , for arbitrary d.f. , not just the one in mclust . thanks in advance best regards ----------------------------------------------- Peng Jiang ?? ,Ph.D. Candidate Antai College of Economics & Management ????????

Dear Knowledgeable R Community Members, Please excuse my ignorance, I apologize in advance if this is an easy question, but I am a bit stumped and could use a little guidance. I have a finite mixture modeling problem -- for example, a 2-component Weibull mixture -- where the components have a large overlap, and I am trying to adapt the "mclust" package which concern to normal

Hi all, could someone send me examples of the EM Clustering algorithm and/or some pdf describing it? Thanks, Douglas Sousa.
