similar to: strange behavior of loess() & predict()

Dear list members, the following hlm was constructed: hlm <- groupedData(laut ~ design | grpzugeh, data = imp.not.I) the grouped data object is located at and can be downloaded: www.anicca-vijja.de/lg/hlm_example.Rdata The following works: library(nlme) summary( fitlme <- lme(hlm) ) with output: ... AIC BIC logLik 425.3768 465.6087 -197.6884 Random effects:

Dear altogether, is it possible to integrate "weights" arguments within lmer to incorporate statements to handle heteroscedasticity as it is possible with lme? I searched the R-archive but found nothing, insofer I assume it is not possible, but as lmer is under heavy develpoment, maybe something changed or is solved differently. Thus my question: While encountering heavy

Dear alltogether, how can a delay like possible with par(ask=TRUE) be attained while using trellis-plots within a loop or something like that? the following draws each plot without waiting for a signal (mouse-klick), so par() does not work for that: library(nlme) for(i in 1:3) { fitlme <- lme(Orthodont) par(ask=TRUE) # does not work with trellis.... print(

Dear alltogether, I experience very strange behavior of imputation of NA's with the NORM library. I use R 2.2.0, win32. The code is below and the same dataset was also tried with MICE and aregImpute() from HMISC _without_ any problem. The problem is as follows: (1) using the whole dataset results in very strange imputations - values far beyond the maximum of the respective column, >

Hello alltogether, how is it possible to assign the colnames of a data.frame to a function called by apply, e.g. for labeling a plot? Example: I want to plot several qqnorm-plots side by side and there should be a maintitle for each qqnorm-plot which is identical to the respective colname. I checked, but the column which is processed by the function called by apply does not contain a colname

Dear alltogether, two lme's, the data are available at: http://www.anicca-vijja.de/lg/hlm3_nachw.Rdata explanations of the data: nachw = post hox knowledge tests over 6 measure time points (= equally spaced) zeitn = time points (n = 6) subgr = small learning groups (n = 28) gru = 4 different groups = treatment factor levels: time (=zeitn) (n=6) within subject (n=4) within smallgroups

Dear R-list, I try to transform a mathematica script to R. #######relevant part of the Mathematica script (* p_sv *) dd = NN (DsD - DD^2); lownum = NN (L-DD)^2; upnum = NN (H-DD)^2; low = lownum/(2s^2); up = upnum/(2s^2); psv = NIntegrate[1/(s^NN) Exp[-dd/(2s^2)] (Gamma[1/2,0,up] + Gamma[1/2,0,low]),{s,sL,sH}, MinRecursion->3]; PSV = psv/Sqrt[2NN]; Print["------------- Results

Dear alltogether, I am searching for a way to determine "effect size" in multi-level models by using lme(). Coming from Psychology, for ordinary OLS there are measures (for meta-analysis, etc.) like CohensD <- (mean_EG - mean_CG) / SD_pooled or (p)eta^2 <- SS_effect / (SS_effect + SS_error) I do not intend to lead a discussion of the usefulness of such measures as long as

Hi all, does anyone know how to automatically update starting values in R? I' m fitting multiple nonlinear models and would like to know how I can update starting values without having to type them in. thank all --- On Fri, 12/26/08, r-help-request@r-project.org <r-help-request@r-project.org> wrote: From: r-help-request@r-project.org <r-help-request@r-project.org> Subject:

Dear R community, I am trying to understand how the predict function, specifically, the predict.loess function works. I understand that the loess function calculates regression parameters at each data point in 'data'. lo <- loess ( y~x, data) p <- predict (lo, newdata) I understand that the predict function predicts values for 'newdata' according to the loess regression

Hi, I wonder why my attempt to extend an existing loess fit to a new data set is producing error. I was trying the following: dat = read.csv(choose.files()) x = dat[,2]; y = dat[,1] x.sort = sort(x) y.loess = loess(y~x, span=0.75) # For testing the above fit with a new dataset: test = read.csv(choose.files()) # test data new_x = test [,1]; new_y = test[,2] new_x.sort = sort(new_x) predicted

Hi! In a current project, I am fitting loess models to subsets of data in order to use the loess predicitons for normalization (similar to what is done in many microarray analyses). While working on this I ran into a problem when I tried to predict from the loess models and the data contained NAs or NaNs. I tracked down the problem to the fact that predict.loess will not return a value at all

Dear all, I'm trying to construct confidence intervals for a LOWESS estimation (by not using bootstrapping). I have checked previous posts and other material online and I understand that the main procedure is: my.count<- seq(...) fit<- loess (y ~ x, data=z) pred<- pred(fit, my.count, se=TRUE) and then the plotting. However, it's not working; as confidence

Hello, I need help with the details of loess prediction algorithm. I would like to get it implemented as a part of a measurement system programmed in LabView. My job is provide a detailed description of the algorithm. This is a simple one-dimensional problem - smoothing an (x, y) data set. I found quite a detailed description of the fitting procedure in the "white book". It is also

Dear R experts, I have a problem that is a related to the question raised in this earlier post https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2007-January/124064.html My situation is different in that I have only 2 predictors (coordinates x,y) for local regression but a number of global ("parametric") offsets that I need to consider. Essentially, I have a spatial distortion overlaid over a

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding a C function of the "stats" package in R. I tried to understand the ?loglin? basic function of the ?stats? package implemented in R. The implemented function itself runs without any problem (perhaps see sample). When I ran it line by line it stopped at the lines 23-24 of the loglin-function; (the following line): z <- .Call(C_LogLin,

I'm updating the loess routines to allow for, among other things, arbitrary local polynomial degree and number of predictors. For now, I've given the updated package its own namespace. The trouble is, panel.loess still calls the original code in package:stats instead of the new loess package, regardless of whether package:loess or package:lattice comes first in the search list. If I

For some reason the following code is not plotting as I want it to. I want to plot a "loess" line plotted over a scatter plot. I get a jumble, with lines connecting all the points. I had a similar problem with "lowess". I solved that by dropping "NA" rows from the data columns. Please help. library(stats) attach(gini_pci_wdi_narm) plot(ny_gnp_pcap_pp_kd, si_pov_gini)

Dear R-community, maybe someone can help me with this: I've been using the loess() smoother for quite a while now, and for the matter of documentation I'd like to resolve the acronym LOESS. Unfortunately there's no explanation in the help file, and I didn't get anything convincing from google either. I know that the predecessor LOWESS stands for "Locally Weighted
