Dear R-users, I would like to know what are the commands to install (from a local zip file) a package and then to load it. Thaks all, Bests, Caio "Perco a consciencia, mas n併o importa, encontro a maior serenidade na alucina佺ao. 伾 curioso como n併o sei dizer quem sou. Quer dizer, sei-o bem, mas n併o posso dizer.

Hi all, Does anybody know any function that performs gaussian adapative quadrature integration of univariate functions? Thanks in advance, Regards, Caio __________________________________________________ [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

(this after asking the package author) Hi I cannot install the rmvnorm package under R-2.3.0, or R-2.3.1 beta. It installs fine under R-2.2.1. transcript for installation under R-2.3.0 follows.

Dear R-users, Does anybody know how to construct a block-diagonal matrix (with the blocks being different matrixs, concerning the dimension and the values) ? I would like to know also if there is any package that generates values from a multivariate skew normal distribution.

Hi all, I need to solve double integrals with no closed solution. Calling x and y the two variables we have x ~ Normal(y*v,1) and y ~Half-Normal(0,1). In fact, given a joint funcion g(x,y), I need evaluate the integral of this function under that random structure. Could anyone suggest me a package or even a suitable method to solve this problem? Thanks all, Caio

Dear lists: I could not calculate what is wrong with my installing. Could you help me to find the solution? Thanks. Following are the installing screen massages: install.packages("demography") 将程序包安装入‘/home/zzk/R/i686-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.12’ (因为‘lib’没有被指定) --- 在此連線階段时请选用CRAN的鏡子 --- 载入Tcl/Tk接口... 完成 also installing the dependencies ‘akima’, ‘rgl’, ‘misc3d’, ‘quadprog’, ‘zoo’, ‘locfit’,

Dear all, I would like to ask information about the package mvtnorm in R. It is very useful for me the "qmvnorm" comand, but I see that it can compute only quantile for equicoordinate. Is it possible to have a curve (or a set of values) if we don't want equicoordinates? Thank you Best regards Antonio. -- Antonio Lucadamo, Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Metodi Quantitativi

Sorry to be pedantic but you are a little careless about version numbers .... > It was actually Debian "testing" that has R 1.4.0.

Hi all, I know pnorm() is able to calculate a sequence of probabilities by providing a vector of means, and a single number for location and standard deviation. For example, pnorm(0.5,c(0.5,2),1) will produce [1] 0.5000000 0.0668072. However, I wonder if its multivariate counterpart mvtnorm can do the same thing? Namely, if I provide a sequence of (vector-)means and a single vector for

Jonathan, > I tried to re-intall R from Debian "stable", in which R's version is 1.4.0. And the installation > of "mvtnorm" works. Debian's own "stable" R is way older; this must have been a user-contributed one. And I suspect that it was build without readline support (see below). > I then re-installed R yet again from Debian

Hi all, I tried to install the mvtnorm library on linux (mandrake version) and i obtained the following result : /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lreadline collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [mvtnorm.so] Erreur 1 ERROR: compilation failed for package 'mvtnorm' Could you help me ?

Hi all! My apologies for posting such a naive question. I've been trying to run multiple comparison contrasts on several GLM models. For doing so I've tried to use the mulcomp CRAN package. However, before I can make the package to work I have to load the mvtnorm package which I cannot find in CRAN (or anywhere else). Any inputs? Thanks a lot, /J Jose A. Andres. Post-doc Associate.

Hi R-users, I just started learning R. I have a project on lot quality assurance sampling (LQAS). In this project I have to develop LQAS plans to make decision on stopping / continuing a programme. The LQAS plans is based on cluster sampling: selection of k clusters (villages) of m children each for a total sample of n. In this connection I would like to estimate the classification errors ( alpha

Dear All, For function: rmvnorm{mvtnorm} in (library mvtnorm, not splus2R), if I generate 2 bivariate normal samples as follows: > rmvnorm(2,mean=rep(0,2),sigma=diag(2)) [,1] [,2] [1,] 2.0749459 1.4932752 [2,] -0.9886333 0.3832266 Where is the first sample, it is stored in the first row or the first column? Does this function store samples row-wise or column-wise? Thank

Hi Dirk, It was actually Debian "testing" that has R 1.4.0. Debian "stable" has R 0.9 or something really old like that. Anyways, I did what A.J. Rossini suggested: # apt-get install libreadline4-dev Then I installed R-1.5.1 from Debian "unstable". The installation of "mvtnorm" has no trouble after this. I think that you are probably right: the
