Hello list, I'd like to use a variable (or a column of a data frame) by using its name as a string. E.g.: Data2003 <- c(150,200,120) Data2004 <- c(145,211,110) myvar1 <- "Data2003" myvar2 <- "Data2004" # now I'd like do do this total <- Data2003 + Data2004 # in any way like # total <- ???(myvar1, myvar2) # or # total <- ???(myvar1) +

Hello, I am using names function to name an array. It works first time when I use *as.numeric(names(myVar1)* However, at a place later, when I tried to use a very similar line of code *as.numeric(names(myVar2)*, it always returned 'numeric(0)' (or if I only type 'names(myVar2), it gave me NULL'. Both myVar1 and myVar2 are type of integer. The only difference that I can tell is

Dear all: Assume I have 3 distributions, x1, x2, and x3. x1 ~ normal(mu1, sd1) x2 ~ normal(mu2, sd2) x3 ~ normal(mu3, sd3) y1 = x1 + x2 y2 = x1 + x3 Now that the data I can observed is only y1 and y2. It is easy to estimate (mu1+m2), (mu1+mu3), (sd1^2+sd2^2) and (sd1^2+sd3^2) by EM algorithm since y1 ~ normal(mu1+mu2, sqrt(sd1^2+sd2^2)) and y2 ~ normal(mu1+mu3, sqrt(sd1^2+sd3^2)) However, I want

Please help me in writing the R code for this problem. I've been solving this for 4 days. It was hard for me to solve it. It's a simulation problem in R. The problem is My true model is a normal mixture which is given as 0.5 N(-0.8,1) + 0.5 N(0.8,1). This model has two components. I will get a random sample of size 100 from this model. I will do this 300 times. That means, I will have

Dear R users, I used to "OPTIM" to minimize the obj. function below. Even though I used the true parameter values as initial values, the results are not very good. How could I improve my results? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Regards, Kathryn Lord #------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ x = c(0.35938587,

I am wanting to plot a 95% confidence band using segplot, yet I am wanting to have groups. For example if I have males and females, and then I have them in different races, I want the racial groups in different panels. I have this minor code, completely made up but gets at what I am wanting, 4 random samples and 4 samples of confidence, I know how to get A & B into one panel and C&D in to

Hi, I am new to R. My problem is with the ordered logistic model. Here is my question: Generate an order discrete variable using the variable wrwage1 = wages in first full calendar quarter after benefit application in the following way: * wage*1*Ordered *= 1 *if*0 *· wrwage*1 *< *1000 2 *if*1000 *· wrwage*1 *< *2000 3 *if*2000 *· wrwage*1 *< *3000 4 *if*3000 *· wrwage*1 *<

Hi all, I appreciate the help this list has given me before. I have a question which has been perplexing me. I have been working on doing a Bayesian calculating inserting studies sequentially after using a non-informative prior to get a meta-analysis type result. I created a function using three iterations of this, my code is below. I insert prior mean and precision (I add precision manually

Dear list, i'm trying to test if a linear combination of coefficients of glm is equal to 0. For example : class 'cl' has 3 levels (1,2,3) and 'y' is a response variable. We want to test H0: mu1 + mu2 - mu3 =0 where mu1,mu2, and mu3 are the means for each level. for me, the question is how to get the covariance matrix of the estimated parameters from glm. but perhaps there

Hi, Is it possible (and how) to use a variable value to create a name of a new R variable? I want to do something like this: for (i in 1:3) { newvarialbe_#i# = somedata } where #i# is a value stored by i. In the first loop, there will be newvariable_1, in second newvariable_2 and so on. Thanks in advance, Maciek [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I continue to struggle with mixed models. The square zero version of the problem that I am trying to deal with is as follows: A number (240) of students are measured (tested; for reading comprehension) on 6 separate occasions. Initially (square zero) I want to treat the test time as a factor (with 6 levels). The students are of course ``random effects''. Later I want to look at

Hello R Help, I am trying solve an MLE convergence problem: I would like to estimate four parameters, p1, p2, mu1, mu2, which relate to the probabilities, P1, P2, P3, of a multinomial (trinomial) distribution. I am using the mle2() function and feeding it a time series dataset composed of four columns: time point, number of successes in category 1, number of successes in category 2, and

Hi, The code below is giving me this error message: Error in while (err > eps) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed In addition: Warning messages: 1: In dnbinom(x, size, prob, log) : NaNs produced 2: In dnbinom(x, size, prob, log) : NaNs produced I know from the help files that for dnbinom "Invalid size or prob will result in return value NaN, with a warning", but I am not able

I would like to estimate a 95% highest density area for a multivariate parameter space (In the context of anova). Unfortunately I have only experience with univariate kernel density estimation, which is remarkebly easier :) Using Gibbs, i have sampled from a posterior distirbution of an Anova model with k means (mu) and 1 common residual variance (s2). The means are independent of eachother, but

Hi, I??m trying to use the Win2BUGS package from R and I have a similar problem that reurns with the message: Error in FUN(X[[1]], ...) : symbol print-name too long But, there is no stray ` character in the file ( Sugestions given by: Duncan Temple Lang <duncan> Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2005 07:31:08 -0700 ) The progam in R is: library(R2WinBUGS) library(rbugs) dat <-

Windows 7, R 2.12.1 Colleagues, I am trying to understand the n.for.2means function. The code below is a copy of the function (renamed to n.for.2means.js). I have inserted a single line of code towards the bottom of the function which uses the cat function to print the value of n1. You will note the value (preceded by stars) is printed as 1. The function (1) prints a lot of output without any

Hi, My name is Laura. I'm a PhD student at Queen's University Belfast and have just started learning R. I was wondering if somebody could help me to see where I am going wrong in my code for estimating the parameters [mu1, mu2, lambda1] of a 2-phase Coxian Distribution. cox2.lik<-function(theta, y){ mu1<-theta[1] mu2<-theta[2] lambda1<-theta[3]
