similar to: Cumulant

Hey I am now studying the statistical indepdence between arbitray two random variables. And want to use Cumulant or related method as the starting point. So anybody has some hints on providing me some good textbooks or papers on cumulant or statistical indepdence criteria? Thanks a lot. Fred

Dear aDVISOR, Hope I am not disturbing you. Can you tell me how I can perform Multivariate Garch analysis in R. Also please, it is my humble request let me know some resource materials on Multivariate Garch analysis itself.

A time series text with a title that seems designed to hide its wide scope is: Forecasting with Exponential Smoothing The State Space Approach Hyndman, R.J., Koehler, A.B., Ord, J.K., Snyder, R.D. Springer 2009. This book is actually an excellent overview of time series theory, ARIMA as well as state space. It is of course, in part, a manual for the forecast and other packages in what has been

Good day everyone, I want to use the Gram-Charlier series expansion to model some data. To do that, I need functions to: 1) Calculate 'n' moments from given data 2) Transform 'n' moments to 'n' central moments, or 3) Transform 'n' moments to 'n' cumulants 4) Calculate a number of Hermite polynomials Are there R-functions to do any of the above?

Dear all R users, I want to insert the R logo in every graphic that I made in my Statistical analysis using R. Can anyone tell me whether is it possible or not and if possible how to do this? your help will be highly appreciated. Thanks and Regards, Arun [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all R gurus, My question is related to statistics rather directly to R. Suppose (X,Y) has a bivariate normal distrubution. I want to find two values of X and Y say x, and y respectively, such that: P[X<x, Y<y] = 0.05 My questions are : 1. Can x and y be uniquely found? 2. If it is, how I can find them using R Your help will be highly appreciated. Thanks and regards,

Suppose I have a Variance-covariance matrix A. Is there any fast way to calculate correlation matrix from 'A' and vice-versa without emplying any 'for' loop? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear r-users, Suppose I have two data sets data set-1 Date height ------------------------ 1/11/2005 10 2/11/2005 23 3/11/2005 54 4/11/2005 21 5/11/2005 22 data set-2 weight -------- 32 45 11 Now I want to combine this two data sets. i.e. i want to see: Date height weight ------------------------------------------- 3/11/2005 54

Dear all, It is not a R related problem rather than statistical/mathematical. However I am posting this query hoping that anyone can help me on this matter. My problem is to get the Geometrical Interpretation of Eigen value and Eigen vector of any square matrix. Can anyone give me a light on it?

Dear all, I have a variable 'x' like that: > x [1] "2005-09-01" Here, 2005 represents year, 09 month and 01 day. Now I want to create three variables naming: y, m, and d such that: y = 2005 m = 09 d = 01 can anyone tell me how to do that? Regards, [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

There is "if-else" loop if I have to choose 1 item from a 2-item list. However if I have a list of 4 items (let say) then how i can choose a single item without employing 'if-else' loop? I mean in VBA I can use "select-case", is there any equivalent in R as well? Regards, [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, I wrote some user defined function for my own. Now I want to get a mechanism so that every time I start R, those function will automatically be loaded in R without manually copying pasting. Can gurus here pls tell me how to do that? Or I have to build my own packages bundled with those functions. However I am not familiar in writing R package yet. Regards, [[alternative HTML version

Hello, Thank you very much for your help. How can I draw a Lorenz curve with several replications ? Here is an example with 4 replications: hosts=c(23,31,19,10,7,7,3, 39,40,8,3,6,2,2, 47,17,8,10,6,11,1, 30,30,10,0,15,15,0) parasites=rep(seq(from=0,to=6,by=1),4) replications=c(rep(1,7),rep(2,7),rep(3,7),rep(4,7)) test <- cbind(parasites,hosts,replications) Should I

Dear all R-users, I would like to draw a tangent of a given function for a particular (given) point. However the straight line representing it should not cut any axis, it should be a small line. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks, Arun [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
