In short: I didn't take enough stats courses in college. Now I am working on scientific research and I feel somewhat lost when it comes to designing the statistical framework. I have looked through the books at: http://www.r-project.org/doc/bib/R-books.html I even tried to read [17] Julian J. Faraway. Linear Models with R. This book is too advanced. It helped a little bit but I still

Hello all, I have posted this before and received no response so I am providing more info this time. I am on Linux kernel 2.2.5-15 and running Samba 2.0.6 as the Samba server. The client is a Windows NT 4.0 machine. When browsing from the NT machine (as user administrator), any share I access appears to contain the contents I put in my own share on the server. This is causing a problem because

Summary: + I am writing an R extension that needs to call dmvnorm more than 10,000 times during a model fitting computation. + My extension uses openmp for parallel execution. + As of R 3.0, it is no longer permitted for threads to call the R interpreter because there is a stack overflow check that always trips because the thread's stack is different from what R is expecting. +

Well pointed out, Jim! It is infortunate that the documentation for options(digits=...) does not mention that these are *significant digits* and not *decimal places* (which is what Joshua seems to want): "?digits?: controls the number of digits to print when printing numeric values." On the face of it, printing the value "0,517" of 'ccc' looks like printing 4

Suppose there are 4 variables d is a function of a , b and c I want to know how a, b and c change will make d change It will be straightforward to see it if we can graph the d surface if d is only a function of a and b, I can use 'persp' to see the surface of d. I can easily see at what values of a and b, d will get the maxium or minium or multiple modes, etc But for 4 dimention graph,

In complex analysis, Cauchy's integral theorem states (loosely speaking) that the path integral of any entire differentiable function, around any closed curve, is zero. I would like to see this numerically, using R (and indeed I would like to use the residue theorem as well). Has anyone coded up path integration? -- Robin Hankin Uncertainty Analyst Southampton Oceanography Centre

Hello to the R people, within ward clustering the distance calculated to decide the clustering of 2 subsets (h1 and h2) is the variation of inertia : d(h1,h2)=I(h1Uh2)-I(h1)-I(h2); i've been said that a way to calculate faster this d(h1,h2) is using the huygens theorem decomposing the inertia into "the inertia to the centroid + the distance to an axe" (that's my version ...). My

I think this is a good idea. Is there a reason why it got no interest? Slippery slope? Or maybe others were also just occupied trying to figure out how Joshua's second message had timestamp earlier than his first message?

Hello guys, I am stuck here: How do I make 1000 samples of n = 10 observations from an Exponential distribution and then compute the mean for all those 1000 samples? Basically I need to prove the Central Limit theorem, which states: http://www.nabble.com/file/p22664113/d175f06cbf200bd52a2c27a2e56dc594.png Where the Sn is sum of random variables, n we have from the question, mu is mean and

Dear LLVMers, This email is intended for those interested in path-sensitive analysis, integer overflow analysis, static analysis, and (perhaps) loop invariant computation. Traditionally, such analyses have been considered too expensive to be practical, and were mostly an academic curiosity. The core of the problem is the lack of adequate automated decision procedures which could quickly

Dear Siegfried, I believe your boss is wrong saying that: >He also tried to explain me that the monthly means >(based on the daily measurements) must follow a >log-normal distribution too then over the course of a year. every statistician know that increasing the sample size the sample distribution of the mean is proxy to a gaussian distribution (Central Limit Theorem) independently

I want to understand ANOVA better. But a few textbook that I have do not describe Cochran's Theorem in details. Could somebody recommend a book for me?

Hi, does anyone out there have a recommendation for multilevel / random effects and longitudinal analysis? My dream book would be something that's both accessible to a non-statistician but rigorous (because I seem to be slowly turning into a statistician) and ideally would use R. Peter

No, not a question, but a few suggestions. I take it that everyone serious about using Prototype & Co. already has Christophe''s (Porteneuve) Prototype and Script.aculo.us book.
