similar to: solving a structural equation model using sem or other package

I have been working through the book "Applied longitudinal data analysis: modeling change and event occurrence" by Judith D. Singer and John B. Willett. I have been working examples using SAS and also using it as an opportunity for learning to use R for statistical analysis. I ran into some difficulties in chapter 8 which deals with using structural equation modeling. I have tried to

Hello, I'm running mixed models in GAMM4 with 2 (non-nested) random intercepts and I want to include a spline term for one of my exposure variables. However, when I include a spline term, I always get reported degrees of freedom of less than 1, even when I know that my spline is using more than 1 degree of freedom. For example, here is the code for my model: >

Thank you for the suggestion, Bill. The result is not quite what I would like. Here's sample code for you or anyone else who may be interested: Al1 = c('A','C','C','C') Al2 = c('G','G','G','T') Freq1 = c(0.0078,0.0567,0.9434,0.9908) MAF = c(0.0078,0.0567,0.0566,0.0092) m1 = data.frame(Al1=Al1,

I am new in R and i am having trouble here. I?ve already searched in the list but hasn?t helped When i run this script above i get the message "Error in gen[j, i] : incorrect number of dimensions". However gen is 1000x200 (ind x loc) and so is g could anybody help me for (i in 1 : loc) { #loc=200 for (j in 1 : ind) { #ind=1000 g1 <= function ( gen ) matrix ( if (gen[j, i]

Hey, I have a dataset and I want to identify the records by groups for further use in ggplot. Here is a sample data: ID Value AL1 1 AL2 2 CA1 3 CA4 4 I want to identify all the records that in the same state (AL1 AND A2), group them as "AL", and do the same for CA1 and CA4. How can I have an output like: ID Value State AL1 1 AL AL2 2 AL CA1 3 CA CA4 4

Hello, All! How might one accomplish this using the by() function? m1 is a data frame. # populate column "m1$major_allele" for ( i in 1:length(m1$major_allele)) { if ( m1$Freq1[i] == m1$MAF[i]){ m1$major_allele[i] = m1$Al1[i] } else{ m1$major_allele[i] = m1$Al2[i] } } Jim [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, I analysed my data with lme and after that I spent a lot of time for mean separation of treatments (post hoc). But still I couldn’t make through it. This is my data set and R scripts I tried. replication fertilizer variety plot height 1 level1 var1 1504 52 1 level1 var3 1506 59 1 level1 var4 1509 54 1 level1 var2 1510 48 2 level1 var1 2604 47 2 level1 var4 2606 51 2 level1 var3

Dear R community, I have a fairly large file with variables in rows. Every variable (thousands) needs to be regressed on a reference variable. The file is too big to load into R (or R gets too slow having done it) and I do now read in line by line with "scan" (see below) and write the results to out. Although improved, this is still very slow... Can someone please help me and suggest

Hello all, I have two comboboxen, comboA is popultaed when :controller/list is retrieved first time. When comboA is selected, I want to auto-populate comboB (modelB belongs_to modelA). The population of tableC (modelC belongs_to modelB and belongs_to modelA) should not populate until a "GO" button is clicked (link_to with submit). Help? I need an example of how to filter the post

Hello together, I would like to predict my fitted values on a new dataset. The original dataset consists of the variable a and b (data.frame(a,b)). The dataset for prediction consists of the same variables, but variable b has a constant value (x) added towards it (data.frame (a,b+x). The prediction command returns the identical set of predicted values as for the original dataset yet I would have

Is there a way to combine two columns within a data frame? Example data: id snp AL1 AL2 1500 30 A B 1510 30 A A 1520 30 A B This is what I would like: indv snp AL1AL2 1500 30 AB 1510 30 AA 1520 30 AB Any help is greatly appreciated. Alysta

Hello all, I've been having trouble with assessing a breakpoint in a logistic GLM with two explanatory variables. For this analysis I've been using the 'segmented' package version 0.2-9.1. But I keep getting an error and I don't see where I would be going awry. The situation is the following: Two explanatory variables: bedekking - a variable with possible values between 0 and

Greetings: I would like comments on this example and after fixing it up, I need help from someone who has access to insert this in R's help page for plotmath. I uploaded a drawing http://pj.freefaculty.org/R/Normal-2009.pdf that is created by the following code http://pj.freefaculty.org/R/Normal1_2009_plotmathExample.R This will be a good addition to the plotmath help page/example.

Hi all. 1) If I have a dataframe with variable names as follow: PC1 PC2 ... PCn and I want to pass only some of them to a function, e.g. glm(resp~from PC1 to PC10, PC15, etc.,...) is there a faster way than simply writing each variable name in the formula? 2) Again, I have a dataframe, say ali.df, with tha following variables: ali1, ali2, ...ali78 I want to sum, for example, ali1+al2+ali7+f rom

Hi, I am extracting positions data from the marine traffic website. The table has a "Timestamp" column which, in the browser, appears with the format yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM (UTC), e.g. 2017-07-10 14:04 (UTC). When I import the table, the same date "2017-07-10 14:04 (UTC)" appears as "1499696500149969650021 minutes ago", This is the more recent date and time. Older
