_______________________________________________________________________________________ Hi, I was just wondering if there was any available R code that could handle general constrained optimisation problems. At the moment I'm using nlminb and optim, both of which allow box constraints on the parameters, but ideally I'd like to be able to specify more general constraints on the solution

Thomas, As F Harrel in a preceding message told me that you are the maintainer of Hmisc package, I write directly to you, with copy to the Rhelp list in case someone encountered the same problem and find some benefit in the response. I used quite often the function sas.get in Hmisc library which I is very, very useful. But, as trying to reuse it today it seems not to function anymore. I tried

# Hello R Users, # # I would like to fit a glm model with quasi family and # logistical link function, but this does not seam to work # with binary data. # # Please don't suggest to use the quasibinomial family.

Hi list, could anyone please educate me on the following: lst<-seq(47, 239, by=12) for(n in lst) { lower=n; upper=lower+10 for(i in lower+2 : upper) { print(paste(n, " i: ", i, " lower: ",lower, " upper :", upper)) } } does not stop when i = upper A while loop fixes this but, I still don't understand why the for loop doesn't stop

_______________________________________________________________________________________ Hi, When I create multiple graphs subsequent graphs overwrite previous graphs. How do I keep all my graphs in the current workspace (but not all on the same page) so I can scroll through them? thanks, Rohini Rohini Mulford Senior Research Analyst Technical Research Research &

I'm performing item response theory with eRm packages I am excluding the persons that doesn't fit in the infit/outfit persons. for that I created a condition. then I have to create a new subset or matrix but with the condition. So: ORIGINAL matrix<-cbind(item1, item2, item3, item4) IF I PERFORM A head(matrix) item1 item2 item3 item4 3 2 3 1 3 1

I am teaching myself R for use in Psych research. I don't understand the error message I am getting or how to fix it. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated df1=read.table("fastfood.txt", header=TRUE); df1 > > c(t(as.matrix(df1))) > > r = c(t(as.matrix(df1))) # response data > > r > f=c("item1","item2", "item3") > k=3 >

Hi all, I have a data.frame I received with data that look like this (comma separated strings in last row): ID Shop Items ID1 A1 item1, item2, item3 ID2 A2 item4, item5 ID3 A1 item1, item3, item4 But I would like to unbind the strings in col(2) items so that it will look like this: ID Shop Items ID1 A1 item1 ID1 A1 item2 ID1 A1 item3 ID2 A2 item4 ID2 A2 item5 ID3 A1 item1 ID3 A1 item3 ID3 A1

Dear all, I tried to use "step" function to do model selection, but I got an error massage. What I don't understand is that data as data.frame worked well for my other programs, how come I cannot make it run this time. Could you please tell me how I can fix it? ***************************************************************************************************

Hi, I have a question about reformatting data. It looks like it should be simple, but I've been working at it for awhile now and it's about time I ask for help. My data look like this: ITEM VALUE STEP item1 A first item2 C first item2 D second item1 A second item3 A first item3 B second item3 A third I just want to transform

Hello, I'm a grad student in the Intelligent Transportation Systems lab at Portland State Univ. in Portland, OR, USA. I'm trying to learn the basics of R to run a negative binomial in the near future, and so I ran a test regression on roadway crash data obtained from "Statistical and Econometric Methods for Transportation Data Analysis" by Washington et al (p. 250). I ran the

I am just starting with R and have the following problem: given a matrix of ones and zeroes, say mdim=4 m<-matrix(round(runif(mdim^mdim)),mdim,mdim) how to construct the matrix of those rows of m, whose elements sum to 2. Contrary to the random matrix above, the actual matrix always has at least one such row. Serguei Kaniovski

Hello, I have two data frames. One is my dependent variable and the other is my independent variable. For each row I'd like to split the independent variable into fractiles (25 or more) and calculate the average value of the dependent variable. Then I would like to plot the average of the averages for each row for each fractile. If possible, I'd like to have the option to 1) define the

Dear List: We are generating data such that students are clustered in schools for some item response data for a simulation study. One component of our simulation is to generate measurement error from a logistic distribution with a mean of 0 and standard deviation of 1.7 to match the logistic curve of the Rasch model. We are generating an error term for each of the 40 hypothetical test items a

I'm learning R and am converting some code from SPSS into R. My background is in SAS/SPSS so the vectorization is new to me and I'm trying to learn how to NOT use loops...or use them sparingly. I'm wondering what the most efficient to tackle a problem I'm working on is. Below is an example piece of code. Essentially what it does is set a variable to zero, loop through item

dear all, how can i get a vector that shows the number of the column of matrix that contains the maximum of the row ?? can?t believe in need a loop for this... i have a 100 x 3 matrix and want to get a 100 x 1 vector with values 1,2,3 . there must be a simple solution. i just cannot find it. i think am searching on the wrong end. thx for help in advance. m.

Hello All, Eric Langley here with my first post to this list. I am looking to determine if R is suitable for a development project I am working on and if so possibly finding someone proficient in R that would be interested in doing the coding. I would like to preface my inquiry that while I am not a programmer I can communicate in a dialog my objectives. An array of rank ordered data looks like

Hi All, Apologies if this has been answered somewhere else, but I have been searching for an answer all day and not been able to find one. I am trying to plot a path diagram for a CFA I have run, I have installed Rgraphviz and run the following: pathDiagram(cfa, min.rank='item1, item2, item3, item4, item5, item6, item7, item8, item9, item10, item11, item12', max.rank='SMP,

is there a method similar to php''s expload function in ruby. i have a database field that contains an array of items, when i output this field i notice the items are seperated by ''-'' e.g item1-item2-item3. how would i go about putting them back into an array in ruby. for example in PHP i would just do this: $field; // = item1-item2-item3 $field_as_array =
