hello all I am using the R package Zelig for some tobit regression with robust standard errors. I have got R version 2.9.2 (2009-08-24) and Zelig Version: 3.4-5 when i do demo(robust) It ends like this way data(coalition) > # Fit the model with robust standard error > user.prompt() Press <return> to continue: > z.out3 <- zelig(Surv(duration, ciep12) ~ polar + numst2 +

I'm currently working on a new package for R that interfaces with an API. Most of the package's functionality requires users to supply an access key that allows the package to work with the API. I want to display text immediately upon loading the package that instructs/reminds users to enter their access key before attempting to do anything (as the package won't really work without

I'm an R newbie and had a question about the read.xls function. I've heard that this is often not a reliable function to use for importing data. However, I have created numerous xls files which contain information about voter turnout and macroeconomic indicators in India. I'm writing a paper on the relationship between economic growth and voter turnout. This is the command I use:

Dear R-users: I am trying to use the following code to reproduce the figures on page 140 of Prof. Frank Harrell's book 'Regression Modeling Strategies': rm(list=ls()) options(width=128) library(Hmisc) library(Design) getHdata(counties) counties$older <- counties$age6574 + counties$age75 label(counties$older) <- '% age >= 65, 1990' counties$pdensity <-

Hi, I'm having problems with the Zelig package - when using the below R displays the follwing message (I'm running R i386 2.15.3 for Windows and have updated all the Zelig packages): z.out<-zelig(Surv(psurv2, pcens2) ~ ren_sup3 + age, data=data_urgent, model="coxph") ** The model "coxph" is not available with the currently loaded packages, ** and is not an

Hello, I am writing as an administrator, not as an R user, so forgive me if I am not completely knowledgeable about R. I have a user who is creating an R package for windows from a Linux environment using the crossbuild environment by Jun Yan and A.J. Rossini. The packages she generated worked fine until she tried to install in R 1.9.1 for Windows. Now when she installs with

Hello, would someone please help explain the following inconsistency in the if/else statement to me? The format of the if/else #3 below is ok, but if/else #1 is not? (I get an "unexpected else" type error.) In order for it to work I have to use if/else #2 Thanks .. maybe there is some reason for this, but this looks very inconsistent to me. R version 2.10.1 (2009-12-14) Ubuntu 9.04

Hi Folks, According to the PDF file blogit.pdf in the Zelig documentation: "Use the bivariate logistic regression model ["blogit"] if you have two binary dependent variables (Y1,Y2), and and wish to model them jointly as a function of some explanatory variables. Each pair of dependent variables (Yi1,Yi2) has four potential outcomes, (Yi1=1,Yi2=1), (Yi1=1,Yi2=0),

Hi all, I am running a set of logistic regressions, where we want to use some weights, and I am not sure whether what I am doing is reasonable or not. The dependent variable is turnout in an election - i.e. survey respondents were asked whether or not they voted. The percentage of those who say they voted is much higher than the actual turnout, probably due both to non-response bias and social

Dear list members, Is there a package somewhere for jointly estimating two poisson processes? I think the closest I've come is using the "SUR" option in the Zelig package (see below), but when I try the "poisson" option instead of the "SUR" optioin I get an error (error given below, and indeed, reading the documentation of the Zelig package, I get the impression

Dear R-users, I am using R 2.13.0 and rms 3.3-0 , but can not reproduce figure 7.8 of the handouts *Regression Modeling Strategies* ( http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/pub/Main/RmS/course2.pdf) by the following code. Could any one help me figure out how to solve this? setwd('C:/Rharrell') require(rms) load('data/counties.sav') older <- counties$age6574 + counties$age75

I'm running a multinomial logit in R using the Zelig packages. According to str(trade962a), my dependent variable is a factor with three levels. When I run the multinomial logit I get an error message. However, when I run 'model=logit' it works fine. any ideas on whats wrong? ## MULTINOMIAL LOGIT anes96two <- zelig(trade962a ~ age962 + education962 + personal962 + economy962 +

Dear R-user: After the fitting the Tobit model using zelig, if I use the following command then I can get the regression coefficents: beta=coefficients(il6.out) > beta (Intercept) apache 4.7826 0.9655 How may I extract the "Naive SE" from the following output please? > summary(il6w.out) Call: zelig(formula = il6.data$il6 ~ il6.data$apache, model =

Hi all, I have a dataset with a response variable with three categories (1, 2, 3) and a lot of continuous variables. I'd like to make a MLR with these variables. I've been watching the libraries nnet and zelig for this purpose but I don't understand them well. I use a training sample data to make the MLR. train.set <- sample(1:1000,1000*0.7) I have done this: library(nnet) net

Hi, I'm trying to model an ARMA(1,[1,4]), i.e. I want only lags 1 and 4 of the Moving Average part. It's the '[1,4]' part that is giving me a problem. I've tried different arma's and arima's in different packages, namely: packages tseries, fArma, FinTS, timeSeries, TSA, Zelig, ds1, forecast For example, with package FinTS: > ( ARIMA(y, order=c(1,0,c(1,4))) )

Is anybody working on a way to standardize the creation of "newdata" objects for predict methods? When using predict, I find it difficult/tedious to create newdata data frames when there are many variables. It is necessary to set all variables at the mean/mode/median, and then for some variables of interest, one has to insert values for which predictions are desired. I was at a

Hello all, Using Ubuntu 9.04 and R 2.8.1. For a project I need to use the Zelig package, which in turn wants to use the lme4 package. When trying to use Zelig and it tries to its required packages I get the following error message. Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : function 'cholmod_start' not provided by package 'Matrix' Error in loadModelDeps(model) :

Hi, all, I'm running multiple imputation to handle missing data and I'm running into a problem. I can generate the MI data sets in both amelia and the mi package (they look fine), but I can't figure out how to get pooled results. The examples from the mi package, zelig, etc., all seem to go right to something like a regression, though all I want are the mean and SE for all the

Hello everyone I appologize for my lack of experience in statistical methods. I am an R user begginer and I am running a logit model using "zelig" and "pcse" packages. I will go to the point and is that Im having problems with interpreting the results of my models.. It is really simple (I guess for the most advanced scholars) however I really dont understand how to interpret

Could you help me with a problem? I should put non-linear variables into zelig-model, how can that be done? I'm dealing with air pollution data, trying to find out daily associations between mortality and air pollutants. Weather variables used as confounders are in some cases non-linear. Since smoothing is not an option I don't know how to proceed. Thanks, Jaana
