Dear R-colleagues, I am quite a newbie to R fighting my stupidity to solve a probably quite simple problem of generating artificial data with defined features. I am conducting a study of inter-observer-agreement in child-bronchoscopy. One of the most important measures is Kappa according to Fleiss, which is very comfortable available in R through the irr-package. Unfortunately medical doctors

Hi All, I am using fleiss kappa for inter rater agreement. Are there any know issues with Fleiss kappa calculation in R? Even when I supply mock data with total agreement among the raters I do not get a kappa value of 1. instead I am getting negative values. I am using the irr package version 0.70 Any help is much appreciated. Thanks and Regards M [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I am new to R, and as a first exercise, I decided to try to implement an XIRR function using the secant method. I did a quick search and saw another posting that used the Bisection method but wanted to see if it was possible using the secant method. I would input a Cash Flow and Date vector as well as an initial guess. I hardcoded today's initial date so I could do checks in Excel.

I am trying to replace a spreadsheet model of a project justification with an R script. I can't seem to track down R functions to calculate Internal Rate of Return and NPV? Am I missing something? NPV doesn't seem so difficult to calculate (at least for a regular series) but I am struggling to identify how to solve for IRR in R. It would be sufficient if it worked for a regular

Hello, I am trying to get the output from the numerical simulation of a system of ordinary differential equations for a range of values for three parameters. I am using the ode() function (deSolve package) to run the numerical simulation and apply() to run the simulation function for each set of parameter values. I am having trouble getting the apply() function to work. Here is an

Hi, all There are 62 samples in my data and I tested 3 times for each one, then I want to use ICC(intraclass correlation) from irr package to test the consistency among the tests. *combatexpdata_p[1:62] is the first text results and combatexpdata_p[63:124] * is the second one and *combatexpdata_p[125:186]* is the third. Here is the result:

Dear R-colleagues, this is a question from a R-newbie medical doctor: I am evaluating data on inter-observer-reliability in endoscopy. 20 medical doctors judged 42 videos filling out a multiple choice survey for each video. The overall-data is organized in a classical way: observations (items from the multiple choice survey) as columns, each case (identified by the two columns "number of

Dear Profs. Ripley & Gamer, Thanks a lot for your prompt answer and your advice. Indeed, I managed to track the bug by launching R from the c-shell instead of the Mac GUI. In that case, after typing > library(irr) I obtained the following error message: > Erreur dans parse(file, n, text, prompt) : syntax error at > 653: irr.name =3D "R > Erreur : unable to load R code in

Dear all, in the package its the print() method does not seem to correctly work in all circumstances: > selectMethod(print, "its") Method Definition: function (x, ...) { print(x@.Data <mailto:x@.Data> , ...) } <environment: namespace:its> Signatures: x target "its" defined "its" > fundPME.lst[[1]]$irr An object of

Dear R-Users, I have been using R for about 1 week and recently learned about the Aggregate function, and from reading online it seems like it is comparable to a SQL group by to perform summary functions. I am looking to do a summary function, such as SUM/MIN, but instead of these basic functions, I would like to calculate the IRR. Assuming I have a data set DS01: FirstName LastName

hi: could someone please point me to a function that allows me to solve general non-linear functions? > irr.in <- function(r, c1, c2, c3 ) { return(c1+c2/(1+r) + c3/(1+r)^2); } > solve.nonlinear( irr.in, -100, 60, 70 ); 0.189 If someone has written an irr function, this would be helpful, too---though not difficult to write, either. thanks for any pointers. Regards, /iaw

Hi Cristian, I don't know about a R routine for exact CIs, but I found a function called "ageadjust" using a gamma distribution approximation some time ago -take a look at http://medepi.org/epitools/rfunctions/index.html. That Webpage seems a bit outdated now, but the calculations given in the ageadjust functions should still work, I think. Maybe this helps; regards Heinrich.

This may appear too elementary to some on this list, but not to me. My apologies if this is the case. I have mastered the lme function but the nlme function has me stumped. I am attempting to fit a nonlinear mixed model with 4 levels of nesting. I am getting a cryptic error message and do not know what is wrong with the syntax of the call. This is the call: >

Hello. I am having a problem setting up a self-starting function for use in nonlinear regression (and eventually in the mixed model version). The function is a non-rectangular hyperbola - called "NRhyperbola" - which is used for fitting leaf photosynthetic rate to light intensity. It has one independent variable (Irr) and four parameters (theta, Am, alpha and Rd). I have created this

The report on R_help about problems loading package irr (in a UTF-8 locale, it seemed) prompted me to look a little deeper. There are quite a few packages with Latin-1 chars in their .R files, and a couple in UTF-8. Apart from non-ASCII chars in comments, this is a problem as the code concerned cannot be represented in some locales R runs in (for example Japanese on Windows). It happens

Hi, I have two separate questions relating to the KernSmooth package. I am using the dpik function from the KernSmooth package and receive the error Warning message: In kappam * Gcounts : longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length I saw an earlier post , but the issue was using the bkde fxn and the person appeared to be using too small of a bandwidth.

Hello. I am working on an analysis involving the nonlinear mixed model function (nlme) in R. The data consist of measures of carbon fixation by leaves as a function of light intensity and the parametric function (standard in this area because it has a biological interpretation) is a non-rectangular hyperbola. I cannot get the nonlinear mixed model (nlme) function to converge cleanly. I am

Hello dear R help group. I encountered this old thread (http://tinyurl.com/dklgsk) containing the a similar question to the one I have, but left without an answer. I am and hoping one of you might help. A simplified situation: I have a factorial design (with 2^3 experiment combinations), for 167 subjects, each one has answered the same question twice (out of a bunch of "types" of

I actually have several questions revolving around the generation of wireframe plots. The most pressing is that which is described by the subject line. I am trying to produce a figure with x, y, and z labels, but only tick marks on the x, and y axes. I have supplied sample code below substituting the volcano data set for my own such that you may run the code and see the results.
