Hi there, I have a data frame as listed below: > Ca.P.Biomass.A P Biomass 1 334.5567 0.2870000 2 737.5400 0.5713333 3 894.5300 0.6393333 4 782.3800 0.5836667 5 857.5900 0.6003333 6 829.2700 0.5883333 I have fit the data using logistic, Michaelis?Menten, and linear model, they all give significance. > fm1 <- nls(Biomass~SSlogis(P, phi1, phi2, phi3), data=Ca.P.Biomass.A)

Hi all, I'm working with a dataset from 10 treatments, each treatment with 30 subjects, each subject measured 5 times. The plot of the dataset suggests that a 3-parameter logistic could be a reasonable function to describe the data. When I try to fit the model using gnls I got the message 'Step halving factor reduced below minimum in NLS step'. I´m using as the initial values of the

I just accidently sent a partially complete email, so this contains the rest (sorry!) I'm working on translating llvm's optimized intermediate code to another compiler's intermediate code, and I'm working on the PHI instruction. Here's an example phi instruction to help explain what I'm trying to do: %inc25 = phi i32 [ 1, %entry ], [ %inc, %for.body ] What I would want to

I'm working on translating llvm's optimized intermediate code to another compiler's intermediate code, and I'm working on the PHI instruction. Here's an example phi instruction to help explain what I'm trying to do: %inc25 = phi i32 [ 1, %entry ], [ %inc, %for.body ] What I would want to do here is allocate some memory memory (i'm trying to use %phi1 = alloca i32,

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

R2.3, WinXP Dear all, I am using the following functions: f1 = Phi1+(Phi2-Phi1)/(1+exp((log(Phi3)-log(x))/exp(log(Phi4))) f2 = Phi1+(Phi2-Phi1)/(1+exp((log(Phi3)-log(r)-log(x))/exp(log(Phi4))) subject to the residual weighting Var(e[i]) = sigma^2 * abs( E(y) )^(2*Delta) Here is my question, in steps: 1. Function f1 is separately fitted to two different datasets corresponding to

Hello, I have a question on unit root test with urca toolbox. First, to run a unit root test with lags selected by BIC, I type: > CPILD4UR<-ur.df(x1$CPILD4[5:nr1], type ="drift", lags=12, selectlags ="BIC") > summary(CPILD4UR) The results indicate that the optimal lags selected by BIC is 4. Then I run the same unit root test with drift and 4 lags:

Dear R users; Ive got two questions concerning nlme library 3.1-65 (running on R 2.2.0 / Win XP Pro). The first one is related to augPred function. Ive been working with a nonlinear mixed model with no problems so far. However, when the parameters of the model are specified in terms of some other covariates, say treatment (i.e. phi1~trt1+trt2, etc) the augPred function give me the following

Hi all, I am trying to use nonlinear regression (nls) to analyze some seed germination data, but am having problems with error codes. The data that I have closely matches the germination dataset included in the drc package. Here is the head of the data temp species start end germinated TotSeeds TotGerminated Prop 1 10 wheat 0 1 0 20 0 0.0 2 10 wheat

Hi Rers, I have a poission time series model with 5 parameters. I just wanted to remove two of the lag on response in the model and put it as a system model. I am not sure about the codes to combine these two on R. If anybody has any R example (code), please post it. My original model: log(Y(t))~constant+b1*Y(t-1)+b2*Y(t-2)+b3*(variable1)+b4*(variable2)+e I would like to construct a

Hi All, I'm new to R and am trying to run a unit root test on the vector "y" (a time series of inflation (i.e. changes in the Consumer Price Index quarter on quarter)). I've run the Augmented-Dickey-Fuller Test below (R's URCA package). It gives me an error that it cannot find the function ur.df unless I comment out the third last line of code (see below). I try to call

Hello, I am using the ur.df function from the {arca} package to run the augmented Dickey-Fuller unit root test on several time series. However; I do not understand the econometric interpretation of the the "phi1" and "phi2" test-statisitc which are output if you choose a "trend" or "drift" model. I looked at the source code for the function but I do not

Hi there, I am trying to use linear regression to solve the following equation - y <- c(0.2525, 0.3448, 0.2358, 0.3696, 0.2708, 0.1667, 0.2941, 0.2333, 0.1500, 0.3077, 0.3462, 0.1667, 0.2500, 0.3214, 0.1364) x2 <- c(0.368, 0.537, 0.379, 0.472, 0.401, 0.361, 0.644, 0.444, 0.440, 0.676, 0.679, 0.622, 0.450, 0.379, 0.620) x1 <- 1-x2 # equation lmFit <- lm(y ~ x1 + x2) lmFit Call:

Dear all, 1. How can I compute the intersecting area between 2 polygons ? 2. I have polygons with coordinates in decimal degrees (i.e. 13 deg 30 min = 13.5 decimal degrees). I want to compute their area and get the results in square meters or square kiometers. Can anyone give me a conversion coefficient or a pointer where I can find this information (sorry for this off topic question) ? Thanks

Dear all, I am stuck with a problem that might be trivial for most of you (and therefore is a bit embarrassing for me...): I want to calculate a generalized least squares regression using two time series (Y depending on X) with an autoregressive correlation structure of order two (the data along time are given below). I use 'gls' from package 'nlme': Calib.gls <- gls(Y~X,

Hi, We come across a ScalarEvolution (SE) problem the other day. It seems to be a fundamental design problem. I don't think I have a clean and cheap fix to this problem. I talked with Andy in the phone yesterday, he told me it is a known fundamental problem. But I don't see any discussion on this problem on the list, so I post the problem here, soliciting your insightful comment.

Dear R-help group, I have to maximize a likelihood with 40 parameters and I want to compare the MLE given by "nlminb" (Splus2000, on Windows) with those given by "optim" (R, on Unix). 1) On Splus, The algorithm "nlminb" seems to converge (the parameters stabilize) , it stops after several iterations ( around 400) with the message :"FUNCTION EVALUATION LIMIT

R-help, I'm just trying to find the ML (maximum likelihood) estimates of the mean and standard deviation of a set of observations: >xx=c(2.5,3.5,4,6,6.5,7.5) fn<-function(params,x=xx) { media<-params[1] st <-params[2] pdf=-sum(dnorm(log(xx),log(media),st,TRUE)) return(pdf) } optim(c(mu,stdev),fn,method="L-BFGS-B",lower=c(0.001, 0.001) ,upper = rep(Inf, 2),

Hi, the function makeARIMA(), designed to construct some state space representation of an ARIMA model, uses a C function called getQ0, which can be found at the end of arima.c in R source files (library stats). getQ0 takes two arguments, phi and theta, and returns the covariance matrix of the state prediction error at time zero. The reference for getQ0 (cited by help(arima)) is:
