Hi: The gls function I used in my code is the following fm<-gls(y~x,correlation=corARMA(p=2) ) My question is how to extact the AR(2) parameters from "fm". The object "fm" is the following. How can I extract the correlation parameters Phi1 and Phi2 from "fm"? These two parametrs is not in the "coef" componenet of "fm". Thanks a

Hello, I am using the Ljung Box test in R to compute if the resiudals of my fitted model is random or not. I am not sure though what the results mean, I have looked at various sources on the internet and have come up with contrasting explanations (mainly because these info deal with different program languages, like SAS, SPSS, etc). I know that my residuals should appropriate white noise( is

Hi all I'm using the Box-Ljung test (from within R) to test if a time-series in independently distributed. 2 questions: 1) p-value returned by Box-Ljung: IF I want to test if the time-series is independant at say 0.05 sig-level (it means that prob of erroneously accepting that the time-series is independent is 0.05 right?) --> then do I consider time-series as "independant"

Dear colleagues, I am new to R and statistics so please keep that in mind. I have doubts on the df calculation of Ljung-Box test (Box.test). The function seems to use always the df=lag=m and not df=m-p-q like suggested in Ljung and Box (1978) paper (that is referenced). Do you agree with this? If so, is there an R package function that computes Ljung-Box test with the degrees of

Hi: I have two vectors of data, x and y and I want to get the "polynomial" expansion of (x+y)^p with any integer power p in R. Suppose p=2, then I want a matrix of five vectors, namely, x y x^2 y^2 x*y. The coefficient of the polynomial is not needed. I can write it manully if p is small. But I want it in the case of p=10 or even bigger, is there any function in R can do that

Dear list members, I have 982 quotations of a given stock index and I want to run a Ljung-Box test on these data to test for autocorrelation. Later on I will estimate 8 coefficients. I do not know how many degrees of freedom should I assume in the formula for Ljung-Box test. Could anyone tell me please? Below the formula: Box.test(x, lag = ????, type = c("Ljung-Box"), fitdf = 0)

Dear List, I am having trouble with some R code I have written to perform Redundancy Analysis (RDA) on a matrix of species abundance data (Y) and a matrix of environmental data (X). RDA is a constrained form of PCA and can be thought of as a PCA of the fitted values of a regression of each variable in Y on all variables in X. For info, the first use of RDA is in: Rao, C.R, 1964. The use and

Full_Name: Peter Solymos Version: 2.8.1 OS: Windows Submission from: (NULL) (129.128.141.92) The help page of the Box.test function (stats) states that the Ljung-Box test was published in: Ljung, G. M. and Box, G. E. P. (1978), On a measure of lack of fit in time series models. Biometrika 65, 553--564. The page numbers are incorrect. The correct citation should be as follows: Ljung, G. M.

Hi: I have some problems when I use the function "solve" function in a loop. In the following code, I have a diagonal martix "ttt" whose elements change in every iteration in a loop. I defined a "dpoMatrix"class before the loop so I do not need to define this class every time in the loop. The reason is to save some computing time. The code is below. The inverse

I'm trying to do a Hosmer-Lemeshow 'goodness of fit' test on my logistic regression model. I found some code here: http://sas-and-r.blogspot.com/2010/09/example-87-hosmer-and-lemeshow-goodness.html The R code is above is a little complicated for me but I'm having trouble with my answer: Hosmer-Lemeshow: p=0.6163585 le Cessie and Houwelingen test (Design library): p=0.2843620

I fit a simple linear model y = bX to a data set today, and that produced 24 residuals (I have 24 data points, one for each year from 1984-2007). I would like to test the time-independence of the residuals of my model, and I was recommended by my supervisor to use the Ljung-Box test. The Box.test function in R takes 4 arguments:  x a numeric vector or univariate time series. lag the statistic

Hi, See below I reply your message for <https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2008-April/160966.html>[R] predict.glm & newdata posted on Fri Apr 4 21:02:24 CEST 2008 You say it ##works fine but it does not: if you look at the length of yhat2, you will find 100 and not 200 as expected. In fact predict(reg1, data=x2) gives the same results as predict(reg1). So I am still looking for

I have a question about passing arguments to the function f that nlm minimizes. I have no problems if I do this: x<-seq(0,1,.1) y<-1.1*x + (1-1.1) + rnorm(length(x),0,.1) fn<-function(p) { yhat<-p*x+(1-p) sum((y-yhat)^2) } out<-nlm(fn,p=1.5,hessian=TRUE) But I would like to define fn<-function(x,y,p) { yhat<-p*x+(1-p) sum((y-yhat)^2) } so

I wish to fit a dynamical model in R and I am running in a problem that requires some of your wisdom to solve. For SAS users I am searching for the equivalent of the */retain/ *statement. For people that want to read complicated explanations to help me: I have a system of two equations written as difference equations here. To boil it down. I have a dataframe with three variables y, X1, X2

Hello, I am trying to learn how to perform Multiple Regression Analysis in R. I decided to take a simple example given in this PDF: http://www.utdallas.edu/~herve/abdi-prc-pretty.pdf I created a small CSV called, students.csv that contains the following data: s1 14 4 1 s2 23 4 2 s3 30 7 2 s4 50 7 4 s5 39 10 3 s6 67 10 6 Col headers: Student id, Memory span(Y), age(X1), speech rate(X2) Now

After an RSiteSeach("Box.test") I found some discussion regarding the degrees of freedom in the computation of the Ljung-Box test using Box.test(), but did not find any posting about the proper degrees of freedom. Box.test() uses "lag=number" as the degrees of freedom. However, I believe the correct degrees of freedom should be "number-p-q" where p and q are

Dear R - help, I am working on the Credit scorecard model. I am using the Logistic regression to arrive at the regression coefficients model. I want to use the Hosmer - Lemeshow test . In order to understand the use of R - language, I had referred the following URL       http://www.stat.sc.edu/~hitchcock/diseaseoutbreakRexample704.txt The related data 'diseaseoutbreak' is available

Hi All R Experts, I met with below mentioned statistics in paper "Stock Index Volatility Forecasting with High Frequency Data" by Eugenie Hol, Siem Jan Koopman http://ideas.repec.org/p/dgr/uvatin/20020068.html I would like to ask that what is "Box-Ljung portmantacau statistic based on N squared autocorrelation" ? Is it same as "Box-Ljung Statistics" of stats

I am trying to fit a nonlinear regression model to data. There are several predictor variables and 8 parameters. I will write the model as Y ~ Yhat(theta1,...,theta8) OK, I can do this using nls() - but "only just" as there are not as many observations as might be desired. Now the problem is that we have a factor "Site" and I want to include a corresponding error

Hi to everybody. I use the following routine (i found it in the internet) to compute the Hosmer-Lemeshow test in the framework of logistic regression. hosmerlemeshow = function(obj, g=10) { # first, check to see if we fed in the right kind of object stopifnot(family(obj)$family=="binomial" && family(obj)$link=="logit") y = obj$model[[1]] # the double bracket
