Dear useRs, it may be of interest to some of you that Computational Statistics & Data Analysis (CSDA) is having a special issue on statistical algorithms that are accompanied by corresponding R packages. For details see the call below. Best regards, Z --------------------------------------------------------------------- CSDA Special Issue on STATISTICAL ALGORITHMS AND SOFTWARE IN R

Hi, Can anyone tell me what's wrong with the function below (I'm new to R) generator <- function(n, seed) { .Random.seed <<- seed data.1 <- rnorm(n)-1 data.2 <- rnorm(n)+2 data.3 <- runif(n) <= 0.6 data <- data.1*data.3 + data.2*(1-data.3) data } seed <- c(61,40,6,40,55,2,44,30,20,56,41,1) dat.mixed <- sort(generator(100,seed)) Error

Has anyone had success in installing and using the Haerdle library of functions available for S-Plus? Is it as straightforward as copying the files into the library directory for R? Thanks in advance. I'm using R on Windows. Samir. _______________________________________________________ Tired of slow Internet? Get @Home Broadband Internet http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html

Dear R Users, I am doing stats::decompose() on 4 different time series. When I issue csdA <- decompose(tsA) plot(csdA) I get a summary plot for observed, trend, seasonal and random components of decomposed time series tsA. As I understand it, the object returned by decompose() has it's own plot method where mfrow(4,1) etc. is defined. Now suppose I wanted to wrap those mfrow(4,1) into

Drs. Brian Everitt and Torsten Hothorn will present their online course "Modeling in R" at statistics.com Jan. 19 - Feb. 16. Participants can ask questions and exchange comments with Drs. Everitt and Hothorn via a private discussion board throughout the period. In this course you learn how to use R to build statistical models and use them to analyze data. Multiple regression is

The Department of Statistics and Mathematics at the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration invites applications for two new faculty positions in computational statistics and quantitative research methodology, to begin in fall 2005. The positions will be at the Assistant level. Candidates should have a strong potential for statistical computing or intramural research support

Is this book a good reference to learn R for statistical analysis ? A Handbook of Statistical Analyses Using R by Brian S. Everitt<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/ref=ntt_athr_dp_sr_1?%5Fencoding=UTF8&search-type=ss&index=books&field-author=Brian%20S.%20Everitt>(Author), Torsten

Dear All, I have just read a glowing review (in the Int. Journal of Epidemiology) of "Analyzing Medical Data Using S-PLUS" by Everitt and Rabe-Hesketh and it sounds like the sort of thing I would like to get my hands on. Is anyone on this list familiar with this book, and in particular have a feel for how useful it will be with R? According to the review the emphasis is on the command

Hi all I found the Camping page on Wikipedia in need of some serious TLC, so I updated it, added some newer links and removed the ''stub'' status: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camping_%28microframework%29 I also pointed people to the Github repo for version 1.9. Please take a look and either make suggestions for further material for me to add (not too much...

Hi! The postscript device in 0.90 does not produce symbols (pch=) as it should. E.g.: postscript(file="test.ps",width=8,height=6.4,horizontal=FALSE) plot(1:10,1:10,pch=1:5) legend(1,9,letters[1:5],pch=1:5) dev.off() The result looks quite different compared to the X-windows version. The symbol 1 (pch=1) is much to small, while the other symbols seem to big. Is it a bug? How can I

hi ! sorry for posting this question, i think it is an easy one, but i cannot get the answer myself. i am using samba-2.2.3a + ldap running on a debian system with w2k-clients. now the problem is: everytime i log into my w2k-client, i get something like "your password expires today! would you like to change it ??" well, i do not really want to change my password everytime i log in,

Dear R-List, I have a dataframe X containing factor f and numeric variable x1, x2, ... I want to create a new dataframe (or possibly a matrix) that gives statistics (e.g. sum) for the variables x1, x2, ... in each group defined by factor f. What is the simplest way to do this? I tried: attach(X) Z <- data.frame(f=levels(f),x1=as.vector(lapply(split(x1,f),sum))) and stumbled on: Error

Hi... I'm working through the book, A Handbook of Statistical Analyses using R by Everitt, and I'm trying to do the following (p. 19 of his book): boxplot(log(marketvalue)~country, data = subset(Forbes2000, country %in% c("United Kingdom","Germany","India","Turkey")), ylab="log(marketvalue",

Hi, I have a problem of estimating a mixture of two normal distributions. I need to find the starting points automatically, since this is a part of a larger piece of image processing code. I found the mix2normal1 function in VGAM package that mentions a method of finding starting values for mu1 and mu2 but refers the reader to a book by Everitt and Hand. Unfortunately, I do not have an easy

Hello- While I was reading a tutorial book for R (actually, for S-Plus:Brian S. Everitt. A Handbook of Statistical Analysis using S-PLUS. Chapman & Hall, London, 1994) I tried to execute this simple exercise: > x <- -c(1,2,3,4,5,6) > X <- -c(10,11,12,100,-5,-6) >x+X [1] -11, -13, -15, -104, 0, 0 As you can see, the added vectors resulted in

Greetings all, Just a quick heads up that there is a Slashdot thread this morning on Open Source Math Software for Education, which includes references to R and Dirk's Quantian distribution (among others). The thread is at: http://ask.slashdot.org/askslashdot/04/12/13/2355258.shtml?tid=185&tid=4 The OP's query was targeted for high school to first year college age students, but as

Dear List, I am looking for what B.S.Everitt refers to as Cochrane Method for testing independence in combined 2x2 contingency tables. Is it the same method as the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel Chi-Squared Test for Count Data in R? Thanks, Serguei [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello Everyone,   Just finished reading A Handbook of Statistical Analyses using R by Everitt and Hothorn. I'll begin by saying that I quite liked the book. It's both little and mighty in the sense that it's very compact but contains a tremendous amount of useful material.   The last chapter of the book deals with cluster analysis.  There's a package used in this chapter (I believe
