similar to: gauss.hermite function

The search at www.r-project.org mentioned a function "gauss.hermite{rmutil}". However, 'install.packages("rmutil")' produced, 'No package "rmutil" on CRAN.' How can I find the current status of "gauss.hermite" and "rmutil"? Thanks, Spencer Graves

Hi all, I am using the 'gaussHermite' function from the 'pracma' library ############ CODES ########### library(pracma) cc=gaussHermite(10) cc$x^2 cc$x^5 cc$x^4 ############ CODES ########### as far so good. However, it does NOT work for any NON integer values, say ############ CODES ########### cc$x^(2.5) cc$x^(-2.5) ############ CODES ########### But just think about it

Does anyone see why my code does not integrate to 1? library(statmod) mu <- 0 s <- 1 Q <- 5 qq <- gauss.quad(Q, kind='hermite') sum((1/(s*sqrt(2*pi))) * exp(-((qq$nodes-mu)^2/(2*s^2))) * qq$weights) ### This does what's it is supposed to myNorm <- function(theta) (1/(s*sqrt(2*pi))) * exp(-((theta-mu)^2/(2*s^2))) integrate(myNorm, -Inf, Inf)

Which function implements the piecewise cubic Hermite interpolation?

Dear All, I wonder if there is a way to fit a generalized linear mixed models (for repeated binomial data) via a direct Maximum Likelihood Approach. The "glmm" in the "repeated" package (Lindsey), the "glmmPQL" in the "MASS" package (Ripley) and "glmmGIBBS" (Myle and Calyton) are not using the full maximum likelihood as I understand. The

Does anyone know how to do hermite or Bezier splines in R? I can find Matlab routines, but really need to implement them in R. Failing that I'd be interested in other conformal splines.

Spencer Thanks for your thoughts on this. I did a bit of work and did end up with a method (more a trick), but it did work. I am certain there are better ways to do this, but here is how I resolved the issue. The integral I need to evaluate is \begin{equation} \frac{\int_c^{\infty} p(x|\theta)f(\theta)d\theta} {\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} p(x|\theta)f(\theta)d\theta} \end{equation} Where

I've written a series of functions that evaluates an integral from -inf to a or b to +inf using equally spaced quadrature points along a normal distribution from -10 to +10 moving in increments of .01. These functions are working and give very good approximations, but I think they are computationally wasteful as I am evaluating the function at *many* points. Instead, I would prefer to use

A new version, 0.65-1, of glmmML is now on CRAN. It is a major rewrite of the inner structures, so frequent updates (bug fixes) may be expected for some time. News: * The Laplace and adaptive Gauss-Hermite approximations to the log likelihood function are fully implemented. The Laplace method is made the default. It should give results you can compare to the results from 'lmer' (for the

Hi, I'm new to R and GLMMs, and I've been unable to find the answers to my questions by trawling through the R help archives. I'm hoping someone here can help me. I'm running an analysis on Seedling survival (count data=Poisson distribution) on restoration sites, and my main interest is in determining whether the Nutrients (N) and water absorbing polymer Gel (G) additions to the

Hi All, I am trying to use A Gaussian quadrature over the interval (-infty,infty) with weighting function W(x)=exp(-(x-mu)^2/sigma) to estimate an integral. Is there a way to do it in R? Is there a function already implemented which uses such weighting function. I have been searching in the statmode package and I found the function "gauss.quad(100, kind="hermite")" which uses

I have a function written for Splus, when I run it in R I obtain get an error because the function has the elements "0.d0" and "2.d0". How can I change it to run in R? The function can be found in page 230 from http://www.stat.wisc.edu/~mchung/teaching/stat471/stat_computing.pdf Function is as follows: gauher <- function(n) {# Gauss-Hermite: returns x,w so that

I have uploaded a new version (0.30-2) of glmmML to CRAN today. This is a rather extensive upgrade, mostly internal. Adaptive Gauss-Hermite quadrature (GHQ) is now used for the evaluation of the integrals in the log likelihood function. The user can choose the number of points (default is 16), I _think_ that choosing 1 point will result in a Laplace approximation. The integrals in the score and

Is there documentation on R limits? That is, max matrix size, etc.? Diagnostics when limits are exceeded are not always meaningful. For example: > x <- rep(0,50000*50000) Error in rep(0, 50000 * 50000) : invalid 'times' argument In addition: Warning message: In as.vector(data) : NAs introduced by coercion Here's another example: > library(orthopolynom) > hermite <-

Hi R Users, I'm going to estimate via. ML the parameters in Poisson Lognormal model. The model is: x | lambda ~ Poisson(lambda) lambda ~ Lognormal(a,b) Unfortunately, I haven't found a useful package allowing for such estimation. I tried to use "poilog" package, but there is no equations and it's hard to understand what exactly this package really does. Using it I get the

Can anyone help me on how to get the nodes and weights of the adaptive quadrature using R. Best wishes Boikanyo. ----- The University of Glasgow, charity number SC004401

Hi all, We know that Hermite polynomial is for Gaussian, Laguerre polynomial for Exponential distribution, Legendre polynomial for uniform distribution, Jacobi polynomial for Beta distribution. Does anyone know which kind of polynomial deals with the log-normal, Student抯 t, Inverse gamma and Fisher抯 F distribution? Thank you in advance! David [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi there, I am using SAS Proc NLMIXED to maximize a likelihood with multivariate normal random effects. An example is the two part random effects model for repeated measures semi-continous data with a cluster at 0. I use the "model y ~ general(loglike)" statement in Proc NLMIXED, so I can specify a general log likelihood function constructed by SAS programming statements. Then the
