Hi, anyone knows about any functions in R can get multidimensional integration not over a multidimensional rectangle (not adapt). For example, I tried the following function f(x,n)=x^n/n! phi.fun<-function(x,n) { if (n==1) { x }else{ integrate(phi.fun, lower=0, upper=x, n=n-1)$value } } I could get f(4,2)=4^2/2!=8, but failed in f(4,3)=4^3/3! Thanks Best, Lynette

Hello, I am a new user of R and found the function dtnorm() in the package msm. My problem now is, that it is not possible for me to get the mean and sd out of a sample when I want a left-truncated normal distribution starting at "0". fitdistr(x,dtnorm, start=list(mean=0, sd=1)) returns the error message "Fehler in "[<-"(`*tmp*`, x >= lower & x <= upper,

A student of mine wants to use R to do some nonmetric multidimensional scaling. According to the R FAQ, there's a package called pcurve that computes multidimensional scaling solutions, but I was not able to locate it the contrib page (I am a Windows user with R version 1.4.1). Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to do nonmetric multidimensional scaling with R, and if so, how? John

I am interested in R functions for the following integrals / sums (expressed best I can in text) - Normal: G_u(k) = Integration_{Lower limit=k}^{Upper limit=infinity} [(u -k) f(u) d(u)], where where u is N(0,1), and f(u) is the density function. Poisson: G(lambda,k) = Sum_{Lower limit=k}^{Upper limit=infinity} [(x-k) p(x, lambda)] where P(x,lambda) is the Poisson prob function with parameter

dear all, here's a couple of questions that puzzled me in these last hours: ##### issue 1 qnorm(1-10e-100)!=qnorm(10e-100) qnorm(1-1e-10) == -qnorm(1e-10) # turns on to be FALSE. Ok I'm not a computer scientist but, # but I had a look at the R inferno so I write: all.equal(qnorm(1-1e-10) , -qnorm(1e-10)) # which turns TRUE, as one would expect, but all.equal(qnorm(1-1e-100) ,

Dear all, Suppose I plot two normal distributions (A and B) side by side and add vertical line which hipotheticaly represent alpha value; e.g.: x <- seq(-3.5,5, length=1000) y <- dnorm(x) # Plot distribution A plot(y~x, type='l',axes=F,xlab="",ylab="",lwd=2) # Plot distribution B y2 <- dnorm(x-1.5) lines(y2~x,lwd=2) # Plot vertical line for alpha value

Hello If i want to resampl from the tails of normal distribution , are these commans equivelant??   upper tail:qnorm(runif(n,pnorm(b),1))  if b is an upper tail boundary   or   upper tail:qnorm((1-p)+p(runif(n))  if p is the probability of each interval (the observatins are divided to intervals)   Regards [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Like kile for LaTeX, Linux/KDE's kate editor is an excellent editor for R, with easy code submission to a running R process. Syntax highlighting is good. I have not been able to figure out two things: - how to automatically reformat a line or region of text using good indentation rules (Emacs/ESS make this so easy by just hitting Tab while the cursor is in a line, or highlighting a

Hi, What is the function for inverse normal transformation? Thanks, Carol [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, Well, try it: p <- .Machine$double.eps^seq(0.5, 1, by = 0.05) z <- qnorm(p/2) pnorm(z) # [1] 7.450581e-09 1.228888e-09 2.026908e-10 3.343152e-11 5.514145e-12 # [6] 9.094947e-13 1.500107e-13 2.474254e-14 4.080996e-15 6.731134e-16 #[11] 1.110223e-16 p/2 # [1] 7.450581e-09 1.228888e-09 2.026908e-10 3.343152e-11 5.514145e-12 # [6] 9.094947e-13 1.500107e-13 2.474254e-14 4.080996e-15

Hi, I would like to plot a graph with one axis in log scale and the other in normal probability scale using R. I cannot change the axis scale to probability scale. What can be a solution? Thanks. CT

You may want to look into using the log option to qnorm e.g., in round figures: > log(1e-300) [1] -690.7755 > qnorm(-691, log=TRUE) [1] -37.05315 > exp(37^2/2) [1] 1.881797e+297 > exp(-37^2/2) [1] 5.314068e-298 Notice that floating point representation cuts out at 1e+/-308 or so. If you want to go outside that range, you may need explicit manipulation of the log values. qnorm()

I agree with many the sentiments about the wisdom of computing very small p-values (although the example below may win some kind of a prize: I've seen people talking about p-values of the order of 10^(-2000), but never 10^(-(10^8)) !). That said, there are a several tricks for getting more reasonable sums of very small probabilities. The first is to scale the p-values by dividing the

Hi, I like to generate two normal densities such that the overlapping area between them is 0.35. Is there any code/package available in R to do that??

Does anyone know of an R-function that will generate an observation from a truncated normal (left or right) with a mu and sigma2? Any correspondence would be greatly appreciated.

Dear R helper, I hope that u can help me to sort out my problem because I sent an E-mail last night to R-list but I have not receive any help and at the same time I think this problem is not so hard. I have used the following functions before > K<-10 > prime<-c(2,3,5,7,11,13,17) > UN<-seq(1:K)%*%t(sqrt(prime)) > U1<-UN-as.integer(UN) > U<-matrix(qnorm(U1),K,7)

Hi. There should be a checklist of everything that can go wrong with making an ssh connection. Here's one entry for the list, which I didn't know before, and * I couldn't see the problem from the -ddd and -vvv output, and * there were no /var/log/* file entries to give hints. Here's what I did sudo kill <pid-of-sshd> /usr/sbin/sshd No good. Usually I did kill

I'm looking for a function in R similar to t.test() which was generously pointed out to me yesterday, but which can be used for normally distributed data. To recap yesterday: > x <- scan() 1: 62 52 68 23 34 45 27 42 83 56 40 12: Read 11 items > alpha<- .05 > t.test(x) One Sample t-test data: x t = 8.8696, df = 10, p-value = 4.717e-06 alternative hypothesis: true
