similar to: Kendall's tau-c

Hi, I need to calculate Kendall's tau for large data vectors (length > 100'000). Is somebody aware of a faster algorithm or package function than "cor(, method="kendall")"? There are ties in the data to be considered (Kendall's tau-b). Any suggestions? Regards Ferdinand

Full_Name: Dan Field Version: 1.6.2 OS: N/A Submission from: (NULL) (209.115.168.187) In kendall.c (library is ctest), the limits for the first loop in routine kendall_tau run from 0 through n-1, and the inner loop runs from 0 through i-1. This causes the each pair at index i to be compared with itself; my understanding is that there should only be n*(n-1)/2 pairs under consideration for

I have 3 variables relating to the successful introductions of species to 95 different areas: introduction frequency; number of successes pre 1906; number of successes post 1906 The data are not normal, nor homo-skedatic, so I am using non-parametric statistics. I have calculated Kendall's tau between both introduction & successes pre 1906 (tau=0.3903) and introduction & successes

Dear I estimate a sample selection model using the Clayton copula and Burr and Gaussian marginal. I need to derive ther Kendall'sw tau from the concordance coefficient by integration. I came across a way to do that in R long time ago but cannot find it again. Can somewone tell me what to read and what to use? Thank you. Steven Yen

I discovered that the Kendall's tau calculation in R uses all pairwise comparisons which is O(n^2) and takes a long time for large vectors. I implemented a O(n*log(n)) algorithm based on merge-sort. Is this of interest to be included in core R? The code (fortran and R wrapper) is available in my package clinfun v0.9.7 (not exported in NAMESPACE). Thanks, Venkat -- Venkatraman E. Seshan,

Hello. Has any further action been taken regarding implementing David Simcha's fast Kendall tau code (now found in the package pcaPP as cor.fk) into R-base? It is literally hundreds of times faster, although I am uncertain as to whether he wrote code for testing the significance of the parameter. The last mention I have seen of this was in 2010

A search of the archives did not reveal an answer: For basic tests of association, where one has no a priori knowledge of the form of the relation or of the distributions of the variables, rank correlation seems like a good start. Why is cor.test() with Kendall and Spearman options relegated to the ctest package, rather than in the base package? Does this suggest that the developers consider

Colleagues, I ran some nonparametric regressions in R (run in RedHat Linux), then a colleague repeated the analyses in SAS. When we obtained different results, I tested S-Plus (same Linux box). And, got yet different results. I replicated the results with a small dataset: DATA: 37.5 23 37.5 13 25 16 25 12 100 15 12.5 19 50 20 100 13 100 10 100 10 100 16 50 10 87.5

Dear all, I am doing a simulation for my model that works when I use only the rq() command. However, since I need to use the varcov matrix for my Wald test, I need to compute summary(rq(), cov=TRUE). But the simulation does not work because of the error: tau + h > 1: error in summary.rq I tried to use: if (tau + h > 1) stop("tau + h > 1: error in summary.rq") But the

Hello, Could someone give me a hint about what might be the difference between running urppTest with Z-alpha and Z-tau in type=c("Z-alpha", "Z-tau")? Is this the underlying equation: delta_y(t) = mu + tau*timetrend+(1-rho)*y(t-1) + alpha_1*delta_y(t-1) + ... + alpha_k*delta_y(t-k) + error term ? I looked at Banerjee et al. mentioned in the fSeries documentation, but that

hi, i have 2 lists of ranks for which i'd like to compute kendall tau. there are ties in the ranks which (to the best of my knowledge) means i cant use tau a but rather b or c. how does R handle that? are ties automatically detected (using corr.test()) and is tau b/c computed instead of tau a? also kendall does not work when values in list 1 do not occur in list 2 (and vice versa) - how does

Hi I need to know which package in R calculates the Goodman Kruskal's tau statistic for nominal data. Also is there any implementation for multiple classification analysis (Andrews at al 1973) in R? Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Upasna -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Upasna Sharma Research Scholar Shailesh J. Mehta

Hi, I would like to fit the following model with quantile regression: y ~ alpha + beta where both alpha and beta are factors. The conceptual model I have in my head is that alpha is a constant set of values, that should be independent of the quantile, tau and that all of the variability arises due to beta. If I just fit the model using the quantreg package like so: mdl <- rq( y ~ alpha

Hi everybody, I am reading the Lomb paper (Lomb, 1976) and I found an interesting equation, and I wish to resolve it using R. I am wondering if anybody has a hint. The equation is: Yis[i] = a*cos((2*pi/T)*(Times[i] - Tau)) + b*sin((2*pi/T)*(Times[i] - Tau)) ... (1) Where T and Tau are constants. I know the "Times" and "Tis" values (in fact these values come from a Time

I would like to use greek "tau" as a symbol of variable to integrate over in plotmath expression(integral(f(tau)*dtau, 0,t)) but nothing seems to work. I tried d{\tau}, d\tau, etc., without any success Is it possible? How can I accomplish this?

Hi all, I would like to ask a question related to Kendall package. I ran Kendall (x,y) and saw the results. But I am not sure which tau values R reported. I have ties in my data set, so I want tau-b. Can anybody tell how Kendall package is calculating tau values? I have looked at the package PDF, but I could not find any useful information. As long as I see from the following link, there

I am using the function metaMDS with jaccard distances to ordinate a set of constituent by site matrix. I can post this data if it would be helpful, but it is large to include in an email. I can also provide reproducable code if necessary. I would like to get an R^2 value for the axes of the ordination configuration that I get with metaMDS in the vegan package is there a way to do this- is it

Hello dear R help members, I wish to get a nice LaTeX table for a rq object. Trying to use the functions I found so far wouldn't work. I can start opening the functions up, but I am wondering if I had missed some function which is the one I should be using. Here is an example session for a bunch of possible errors: (Thanks) data(stackloss) y <- stack.loss x <- stack.x rq_object
