Greetings, I am a bit confused by the results returned by the functions: cohen.kappa {concord} classAgreement {e1071} when using a two-way table. for example, if I have an matrix A, and a similar matrix B (same dimensions), then: matrix A and B can be found: http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/drupal/files/a_40.txt http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/drupal/files/b_40.txt A <-

Hi, I have developed a logistic regression model in the form of (factor_1~ numeric + factor_2) and would like to perform a cross-validation or some similar form of sensitivity analysis on this model. using cv.glm() from the boot package: # dataframe from which model was built in 'z' # model is called 'm_geo.lrm' # as suggested in the man page for a binomial model: cost <-

Greetings, Experimenting with the cluster package, and am starting to scratch my head in regards to the *best* way to standardize my data. Both functions can pre-standardize columns in a dataframe. according to the manual: Measurements are standardized for each variable (column), by subtracting the variable's mean value and dividing by the variable's mean absolute deviation. This

Greetings: As I am not a windows user, I cannot try this: is it possible to install rgdal on windows without having to compile it from source ? Compilation on MacOS is within my abilities, however each time i try and install the rgdal package it dies complaining that it cannot find gdal-config --- which was recently installed with GRASS. I have updated my PATH environment variable, logged

Greetings: are there any simple ways to convert an sp class object to a splancs ppp class object, outside of reading the coordinates and computing a bounding box? cheers, -- Dylan Beaudette Soils and Biogeochemistry Graduate Group University of California at Davis 530.754.7341

Greetings, I am trying to add an extra labled axis in position 3 (top x-axis), with numbers that do not match up with the existing axes. Surely this must be possible, and I am just doing it incorectly. So far I have tried the following: #make a plot plot(TIK, type="l", cex=.25, xlim=c(2,32), ylim=c(0,1600)) #try and add a new axis with different numbers in position 3

Greetings, I am using both the lrm() {Design} and glm( , family=binomial()) to perform a a logisitic regression in R. Apart from the typical summary() methods, what other methods of diagnosing logistic regression models does R provide? i.e. plotting an 'lm' object, etc. Secondly, is there any facility to calculate the R^{2)_{L} as suggested by Menard in "Applied Logistic

This may sound like a very naive question, but... give two lists of coordinate pairs (x,y - Cartesian space) is there any simple way to compute the affine transformation matrix in R. I have a set of data which is offset from where i know it should be. I have coordinates of the current data, and matching coordinates of where the data should be. I need to compute the composition of the affine

Greetings, I have had good success using the clara() function to perform a simple cluster analysis on a large dataset (1 million+ records with 9 variables). Since the clara function is a wrapper to pam(), which will accept known medoid data - I am wondering if this too is possible with clara() ... The documentation does not suggest that this is possible. Essentially I am trying to

Hi everyone, Suppose I have a count the occurrences of positive results, and the total number of occurrences: pos <- 14 total <- 15 testing that the proportion of positive occurrences is greater than 0.5 gives a p-value and confidence interval: prop.test( pos, total, p=0.5, alternative='greater') 1-sample proportions test with continuity correction data: 14 out of

Greetings, After pouring over the documentation for the 'colorspace' package, I have not been able to figure out how the plot() method converts colorspace coordinates to RGB values for display on the screen. I am convert between colorspaces with the various as() methods... but cannot seem to find a way to extract RGB (i.e. for displaying on a computer screen) triplets from color space

Is there a function that calculates the inter-rater agreement index (kappa) in R? Thanks ../Murli [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, When evaluating different learning methods for a categorization problem with the (really useful!) caret package, I'm getting confusing results from the Kappa computation. The data is about 20,000 rows and a few dozen columns, and the categories are quite asymmetrical, 4.1% in one category and 95.9% in the other. When I train a ctree model as: model <- train(dat.dts,

Hi, im little bit confused about Cohen's Kappa and i should be look into the Kappa function code. Is the easy formula really wrong? kappa=agreement-chance/(1-chance) many thanks christian ############################################################################### true-negativ:7445 false-positive:3410 false-negativ:347 true-positiv:772 classification-aggrement:68,6%

Dear all, I have a question on Cohen's kappa: Assume I have two datasets, one has 500 objects, 10 methods and the other, 1000 different objects, 20 different methods. Could I compare between the two datasets to conclude the 10 methods are more "concordant" than the 20 ones by looking at some output, for example, cohen.kappa{concord} ? One more, could anyone explain in brief,

Greetings, A couple general questions regarding the use of splines to interpolate depth profile data. Here is an example of a set of depths, with associated attributes for a given soil profile, along with a function for calculating midpoints from a set of soil horizon boundaries: #calculate midpoints: mid <- function(x) { for( i in 1:length(x)) { if( i > 1) { a[i] = (x[i] -

Hi, is it possible to reverse the order in which panel.lmline() or panel.smooth() operation in xyplot() ? This type of situation might occur when plotting some variable with depth, but the relation we want to describe is variable ~ depth, and not depth ~ variable, as the plotting formula would suggest. # an example: d <- 1:100 v <- d * rnorm(100) xyplot(d ~ v, ylim=c(100,0),

Hi, I was recently splitting some massive phylo class objects with extract.clade() and noticed what appears to be a bug in how tip labels are copied from the full tree to the pruned tree. This possible bug was also mentioned here: http://www.mail-archive.com/r-sig-phylo at r-project.org/msg00537.html An example: library(ape) set.seed(5) x <- matrix(rnorm(100), ncol=10) p <-

Hi, after upgrading my R install from 2.5 -> 2.6.1 and performing multiple iterations of update.packages(), I am getting an odd error when trying to plot a calibration curve from the val.prob() function in package Design. when running this function (which used to work) I get the following error message: Error in .C("lowess", x = as.double(xy$x[o]), as.double(xy$y[o]), n,
