Dear Listers, My post might be somewhat OT. Currently, I am trying to use flexmix to build a finite mixture model. For instance, I am getting the prior probability and coefficients for each latent class from training data. Is there a way to get the posterior probablity and prediction of a new dataset? What I am thinking is to apply the prior prob and coefficient from training set to testing data

Right now, I am using SAS and S+/R. As a new year resolution, I am planning to learn a scripting language. from statisticians' point of view, which scripting language is worth to learn, perl, python, or any other recommendation? (Most likely, I will be learning it in windows.) Since I am not in research, I will prefer one widely used in industry and related to statistical work. if you

Dear R community, I have a dataframe with say 100 different variables. I wish to regress variable 1 separately on every other variable (2-100) in a linear regression using lm. There must be an easy way to do this without loops, but I have difficulties figuring this out... Can you please help? Thank you and best regards, Georg. ***************************************** Georg Ehret Johns Hopkins

Hi R-experts, I have data from four conditions of an experiment. I tried to create four subsets of the data with read.table, for example, read.table("Experiment.csv",subset=(condition=="1")) . I found a similar post in the archive, but the answer to that post was no. Any new ideas about reading subsets of data with read.table? Thanks! Feng [[alternative HTML version

Dear Listers, I've been a big fan of R since graduate school. After working in the industry for years, I haven't had many opportunities to use R and am mainly using SAS. However, I am still forcing myself really hard to stay close to R by reading R-help and books and writing R code by myself for fun. But by and by, I start realizing I have hard time to keep up with R and am afraid that I

Dear All, Is there a emacs/xemacs for unix without compiling it? If it is possible, I prefer something that I can use immediately after putting it on the unix server.
