Bonjour, Je suis ?tudiant stagiaire ? Paris et je rencontre quelques difficult?s en programmation R. J'ai une data frame compos?e de 4 colonnes et 250 lignes et dont chaque ligne est une famille. J'ai fait un tirage al?atoire avec remise des familles 250 fois ce qui m'am?ne ? une nouvelle dataframe. A cette nouvelle dataframe, j'applique un programme qui calcule 2 param?tre X1

Please, could you give me an example about how to use cat() to read the value of a variable in a function? Any other way? I've found how to make it globally available, thus printing it, but I don't know how to read out the value of any variable within the function. Thanks for your help, Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodr?guez Your XEN ICT Team

Hi, i'm a Wine user to run earmaster school.. I'm musician, and got no sound with wine with ubuntu 9.10 :( I search french forum (francophone)!!

I''v finished the french translation of the QuickStart Guides named "Basic two-interface firewall" As i''v not found the email of Tom Eastep i post this news here. I''m translating now the "Standalone", and after i will do the "Three interface" If there is some french guys here, may be they can read to find some errors ?! :) cya -- VETSEL

Hello. Here is my R code. I used the functional data . Now I need to use the functional data by applying the kernels instead of the xi, yi functions. Bonjour. Voici mon code en R .

I have been unsuccessful in extracting the dispersion parameter in SPLUS 6.1 using summary or summary.glm(modelobj$dispersion) from a glm object in which the family was set to quasi. This is the syntax given in the manual. I want to write a script to bootstrap the estimate of the dispersion parameter, but cannot seem to access that value. Any suggestions? Thanks, Ed ----------

I'm confused as to the trustworthiness of the dispersion parameters reported by glm. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Context: I'm interested in using a fitted GLM to make some predictions. Along with the predicted values, I'd also like to have estimates of variance for each of those predictions. For a Gamma-family model, I believe this can be done as Var[y] =

Dear R users, I would like to fit a glm with Poisson distribution and log link with a known dispersion parameter. I do not want to estimate the dispersion parameter. I know what it is, so I simply want to fix it at a constant for this and other models to follow. My simple, no covariate model is: Tall.glm<-glm(Seedling~1, family=poisson, offset(log(area)), data=tallPSME.df) I want to

Hi all, How is dispersion calculated within the glm function in R ?

Hi, I would like to obtain the dispersion parameter for a quasipoisson model for later use in calculating QAIC values for model comparison.Can anyone suggest a method of how to go about doing this? The idea I have now is that I could use the residual deviance divided by the residual degrees of freedom to obtain the dispersion parameter. The residual deviance is available in the summary

Is there anyway to make the lines in the dispersion command come forward in a plot and allow the fill in the dispersion parameter be transparent so all of the lines I am using to note confidence intervals are shown? ------------------------------------------- Joe King, M.A. Ph.D. Student University of Washington - Seattle 206-913-2912 jp@joepking.com

Hello, I am currently working with the betareg package, which allows the fitting of a variable dispersion beta regression model (Simas et al. 2010, Computational Statistics & Data Analysis). I was wondering whether there is any package in R that allows me to fit variable dispersion parameters in the standard logistic regression model, that is to make the dispersion parameter contingent upon

Hi All, could someone shed some light on what the difference between the estimated dispersion parameter that is supplied with the GLM function and the one that the 'gamma.dispersion( )' function in the MASS library gives? And is there consensus for which estimated value to use? It seems that the dispersion parameter that comes with the summary command for a GLM with a Gamma dist. is

I have been implementing a proposal of Jim Lindsey for glm(.) to return AIC values, and print.glm(.) and print.summary.glm(.) printing them.... however: >>>>> "Jim" == Jim Lindsey <jlindsey@luc.ac.be> writes: Jim> The problem still remains of getting the correct AIC when the user Jim> wants the scale parameter to be fixed.

Dear List, I am looking to plot error bars on a line using dispersion. I have values for the upper value and for the lower values, however i am unsure how to plot different values for the upper CI and the lower CI? I have been using dispersion(1:35,sim,simCI,col="red") Where there are 35 points, and simCI relates to a vector containing the lower confidence intervals, however i want

I am running a binomial glm with response variable the no of mites of two species y->cbind(mitea,miteb) against two continuous variables (temperature and predatory mites) - see below. My model shows overdispersion as the residual deviance is 48.81 on 5 degrees of freedom. If I use quasibinomial to account for overdispersion the dispersion parameter estimate is 2501139, which seems

Three related questions on LMEs and GLMMs in R: (1) Is there a way to fix the dispersion parameter (at 1) in either glmmPQL (MASS) or GLMM (lme4)? Note: lme does not let you fix any variances in advance (presumably because it wants to "profile out" an overall sigma^2 parameter) and glmmPQL repeatedly calls lme, so I couldn't see how glmmPQL would be able to fix the dispersion

Following p.206 of "Statistical Models in S", I wish to change the code for summary.glm() so that it estimates the dispersion for binomial & poisson models when the parameter dispersion is set to zero. The following changes [insertion of ||dispersion==0 at one point; and !is.null(dispersion) at another] will do the trick: "summary.glm" <- function(object, dispersion =

Hi, Can someone tell me if it is possible to set the dispersion parameter constant when fitting a negative binomial glm in R? I've looked at the documentation and can't find the appropriate argument to pass. In STATA I can type: nbreg depvar [indepvar...], offset(offset) dispersion(constant).
