Dear R users, I'm trying to fit a simple random intercept model with a fixed intercept. Suppose I want to assign a weight w_i to the i-th contribute to the log-likelihood, i.e. w_i * logLik_i where logLik_i is the log-likelihood for the i-th subject. I want to maximize the likelihood for N subjects Sum_i {w_i * logLik_i} Here is a simple example to reproduce

Hello, I have some parameters from Mclust function. The parameters are in the form *parametersDf * * mu_1 mu_2 var_mc1 var_mc2 c1 c2 * *2 1.357283 2.962736 0.466154 0.1320129 0.5258975 0.4741025 * *21 8.357283 9.962736 0.466154 0.1320129 0.5258975 0.4741025 * Each row in the above data frame

Dear list, I am using svyglm in the survey library to fit a binomial logistic regression accounting for sample design. The documentation says the models are not fit by maximum likelihood, so my question is what is the fitting method? Pseudo likelihood? Generalized least squares? Thanks for any insight. Best, Corey Corey Sparks Assistant Professor Department of Demography and

Hello. Slope estimates in lme are shrinkage estimates which pull the OLS slope estimates towards the population estimates, the degree of which depends on the group sample size and the distance between the group-based estimate and the overall population estimate. Although these shrinkage estimates as said to be more precise with respect to the true values, they are also biased. So there is a

Hi, I have a dataset with the following properties: Y_i ~ N(mu_i, theta * (mu_i)^2) ln(mu_i) = B'Xi theta and beta's are the parameters here. I want to come up with a model to fit the data with the above property and test that model on the built in R dataset quine. Does nls() make sense in this case? Or is there any existing R package which can fit this model? -Shelly -- View

Greetings. For R gurus this may be a no brainer, but I could not find pointers to efficient computation of this beast in past help files. Background - I wish to implement a Cramer-von Mises type test statistic which involves double sums of max(X_i,Y_j) where X and Y are vectors of differing length. I am currently using ifelse pointwise in a vector, but have a nagging suspicion that there is a

Peter, This is a highly structured text. Just for the discussion, I separate the building blocks, where (D) and (E) and (F) are new: BEGIN OF TEXT -------------------- (A) Non-?NULL? ?weights? can be used to indicate that different observations have different variances (with the values in ?weights? being inversely proportional to the variances); (B) or equivalently, when the elements of

Hi, I am wondering if there is a package for doing conditional logistic regression for nested case-control study as described in "Estimation of absolute risk from nested case-control data" by Langholz and Borgan (1997) where Horvitz-Thompson sampling weight (log of (number in the risk set divided by the number sampled)) is used with regression. In SAS Proc Phreg, this is implemented

Hola a todos, Estoy intentando resolver un problema de optimización con R con restricciones lineales, pero no consigo incluir dichas restricciones. Es decir, f<-function(w){ sd(...) # desviación típica de ciertos datos } optim(rep(1/2,8),fn = f,lower=0,upper=1,method='L-BFGS-B') # no se como incluir aquí las restricciones Las restricciones son: la suma de los w_i es 1 y todos los

Dear R developers, I am a little disappointed that my bug report only made it to the wishlist, with the argument: Well, it does not say it has. Only relevant to prediction intervals. predict.lm does calculate prediction intervals for linear models from weighted regression, so they should be correct, right? As far as I can see they are bound to be wrong in almost all cases, if no weights

Hi, I am getting some weird results here and I think I am missing something. I am trying to program a function that for a set of random variables drawn from uniform distributions plots that distribution of the second order statistic of the ordered variables. (ie I have n uniform distributions on [0, w_i] for w_i different w_j and i=1..n. I want to plot the distribution of the second order

Dear useRs (called Frank Harrell, most likely), after having preached for years to my medical colleagues to be cautious with stepwise selection procedures, they chanted back asking for an alternative when using mixed models. There is a half dozen laXXX packages around for all types of linear models, but as far I see there is none for mixed models such as lme. Even boot.stepAIC (which I

Hi, I want to generate 10000 samples from normal distribution with replacement case and every sample size is 50. What should I do ? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/IMPORTANT-PLEASE-HELP-ME-tp4650676.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

OK. We have now three suggestions to repair the text: - remove the text - add "not" at the beginning of the text - add at the end of the text a warning; something like: "Note that in this case the standard estimates of the parameters are in general not correct, and hence also the t values and the p value. Also the number of degrees of freedom is not correct. (The parameter

Hi, I would appreciate if someone could help me on track with this problem. I want to compute some parameters from a system of equations given a number of sample observations. The system looks like this: sum_i( A+b_i>0 & A+b_i>C+d_i) = x sum_i( C+d_i>0 & C+d_i>A+b_i) = y sum_i( exp(E+f_i) * ( A+b_i>0 & A+b_i>C+d_i) = z A, C, E are free variables while the other

Dear R-help, I am trying to express myself as best as I can here. If you also use Latex to edit math reports or other languages with similar editing method, you'll see what I'm talking about. My sincere appologies if my question is not clear enough to some extend, as also I'm not able to provide my code here because I don`t know which one I can use... When editing the title in R

I check the Mips backend for the following C code fragment compile result. It seems not correct. Is it my misunderstand or it's a bug. //ch8_3.cpp #include <stdarg.h> int sum_i(int amount, ...) { int i = 0; int val = 0; int sum = 0; va_list vl; va_start(vl, amount); for (i = 0; i < amount; i++) { val = va_arg(vl, int); sum += val; } va_end(vl);

Dear list, This is a question about overdispersion and the ML estimates of the parameters returned by the glm.poisson.disp (L. Scrucca) and glm.nb (Venables and Ripley) functions. Both appear to assume a negative binomial distribution for the response variable. Paul and Banerjee (1998) developed C(alpha) tests for "interaction and main effects, in an unbalanced two-way layout of counts

Hello, I have some measurements that I am trying to fit a model to. I also have uncertainties for these measurements. Some of the measurements are not well detected, so I'd like to use a limit instead of the actual measurement. (I am always dealing with upper limits, i.e. left censored data.) I have successfully run survreg using the combination of well detected measurements and limits,

Dear Listers, I got this message when compiling a package: * creating pgirmess-manual.tex ... OK * checking pgirmess-manual.text ... ERROR LaTex errors when creating DVI version.
