similar to: how to update R version

Hello. I am posting this on behalf of a student in my class. I have been introducing them to R. I suspect that the problem I need help with is not so much an R issue, but a MAC config issue, but I don't have enough MAC experience to know what to do. Anyway, on to the problem. We are using Frank Harrell's Hmisc and Design packages. This student also wishes to use the latex formatting

Greetings, I have generated several ROC curves and would like to compare the AUCs. The data are cross sectional and the outcomes are binary. I am testing which of several models provide the best discrimination. Would it be most appropriate to report AUC with 95% CI's? I have been looking in to the "net reclassification improvement" (see below for reference) but thus far I can only

I'm sure this is simple enough, but an R site search on my subject terms did suggest a solution. I have a numeric vector with many values that I wish to create a factor from having only a few levels. Here is a toy example. > x <- 1:10 > x <-

I tried to use write.foreign() to export to SAS this morning and got an error. When I looked at the code for writeForeignSAS() I saw this line: dfn < -df which I think should be dfn <- df So, I tried to run update.packages() to see if there was an updated version and got the following result. > update.packages(c("foreign")) Warning message: In list.files(lib) :

I would like to try a likelihood ratio test in place of waldtest. Ideally I'd like to provide two glm models, the second a submodel of the first, in the style of lrt (http://www.pik-potsdam.de/~hrust/tools/farismahelp/lrt.html). [lrt takes farimsa objects] Does anyone know of such a likelihood ratio test? Chris Elsaesser, PhD Principal Scientist, Machine Learning SPADAC Inc. 7921

Hello, I am trying to add R code to my dissertation and the length of a line of text that Sweave generates is longer than the right margin in my dissertation. I have found no way to tell Sweave how to set the line length. I am using an iMac with tiger ver. 10.4.10, and R: ver. 2.5.1. Here is the R code that is longer than my right margin: input to Sweave:

I have downloaded the source code for Linux. the ./configure procedure can find gcc but cannot find f77 or f2c I have looked for the above compiler with Test and installed all what pertains to Fortran.

Dear useRs, How does one include graphics created with Xfig with LaTeX fonts into Sweave? If I create a graphic with Xfig with some Computer Modern fonts, I choose to export it as combined PDF and LaTeX. So I get two files, one foo.pdf with the drawings without the text and foo.pdftex with some LaTeX code that ensures the text lands in the right place together with the drawing. I'm supposed

Dear R users, I am not asking questions specifically on R, but I know there are many statistical experts here in the R community, so here it goes my questions: Freedman (1982) propose an approximation of sample size/power calculation based on log-rank test using the formula below (This is what nQuery does): (Z(1-?/side)+Z(power))^2*(hazard.ratio+1)^2 N =

I was messing around with some data in R and SAS (the reason is unimportant) fitting a multiple linear regression and got a curious discrepancy. The data set is too big to post, but if someone wants it, I can send it. So, here are the (partial) results: From R: Coefficients: Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|) (Intercept) 61.11434 1.48065 41.275 < 2e-16 *** sexWomen

Hi all, I am trying to draw a Kaplan-Meier curve and I found online that Kaplan - Meier estimates are computed with a function called km in the event package. Is there an update for that because when I choose to download packages in R,. there is no package called event, even though I have selected all the repositories. Thanks in advance, Eleni [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Sorry. Let me try again then. I am trying to find "significant" predictors" from a list of about 44 independent variables. So I started with all 44 variables and ran drop1(sep22lr, test="Chisq")... and then dropped the highest p value from the run. Then I reran the drop1. Model: MIN_Mstocked ~ ORG_CODE + BECLBL08 + PEM_SScat + SOIL_MST_1 + SOIL_NUTR + cE + cN +

Hi - I am conducting a meta-analysis and I have a matrix of f-statistics, Ns and dfs from a series of studies that tested for an interaction in a 2x2 anova. I'd like to test whether the 2x2 interaction is significant in the aggregate. Similarly, I have a matrix of chi-square statistics that I'd like to meta-analyze. How can I input these test statistics into the "metafor"

Dear R users, I recently downloaded the library lme4a by svn checkout svn://svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/lme4. I tried to install the library lme4a by copying the downloaded document in the location where all the R libraries are saved. When I try to load the library, I obtain the message library(lme4a) Error in library(lme4a) : 'lme4a' is not a valid installed package R

Hello, TO update R under Ubuntu on my macchine, I downloaded R-2.13.1. When running ./configure, I got the following error message: checking for X... no configure: error: --with-x=yes (default) and X11 headers/libs are not available But I could use X11() function in R-2-10. So where does the problem come from? Cheers, Carol

Hi, I am attempting to graph a Kaplan Meier estimate for some claims using the survfit function. However, I was wondering if it is possible to plot a cdf of the kaplan meier rather than the survival function. Here is some of my code: library(survival) Surv(claimj,censorj==0) survfit(Surv(claimj,censorj==0)~1) surv.all<-survfit(Surv(claimj,censorj==0)~1) summary(surv.all) plot(surv.all)
