The name conflicts in Epi and ROC packages (2 'ROC' functions are the problem) cause the following code to work once, but not twice: library(MASS); data(cats); x = cats[,2] y = ifelse(cats[,1]=='F',0,1) library(Epi); ROC(x,y,grid=0)$AUC library(ROC); AUC(rocdemo.sca(y, x, dxrule.sca)) What is the standard way of resolving name conflicts? Ask maintainers to resolve

Hi all, does anyone know why the area under the curve (AUC) is negative? I'm using ROC function with a logistic regression, package Epi. First time it happens... Thanks a lot!

Dear R users, I hope to explain the concepts of skewness and kurtosis by generating series of distributions with same skewness and different kurtosis or with same kurtosis and different skewness, but it seems that i cannot find the right functions. I have searched the mailing list, but no answers were found. Is it possible to do that in R? Which function could be used? Thanks a lot. --

Dear Rusers, I have some data in .csv file like "2004-8-1" and "2004-10-1", and i need to convert them into days from the origin (January 1, 1960). I have tried the function date.mmddyyyy(), but cannot get it. Anybody can show me how to handle the date data? Thanks very much! My dataset like: time 2004-8-1 2004-10-1 2001-9-1 2002-9-1 -- With Kind Regards,

Dear Ruser, I use abline() function to add the reference line successfully, but i can't display the values corresponding to the reference line on the x/y axis, anybody knows how to display it? *My simulated programs:* y<-rnorm(50) plot(x,y) abline(v=0.5) *#my question is how to display x=0.5 in the x axis?* Thanks in advance. -- With Kind Regards, oooO::::::::: (..):::::::::

Dear friends, The following is an example to explain my question. I want to get a legend which will show the z-values according to different colors in image() function. x<-sort(runif(10)) #x-coordinates y<-sort(runif(10)) #y-coordinates z<-matrix(runif(100),nrow=10) #attributes values image(x,y,z,col=gray((6:3)/6)) # legend(x,y,legend=z,col=gray((6:3)/6)) #error. the colors should

Dear all, I have two variables, y and x. It seems that the relationship between them is Piecewise Linear Functions. The cutpoint is 20. That is, when x<20, there is a linear relationship between y and x; while x>=20, there is another different linear relationship between them. How can i specify their relationships in R correctly? # glm(y~I(x<20)+I(x>=20),family = binomial, data =

Dear friends, Anybody has ever met the problem to add a legend to a figure generated by image()? I have three variables,x,y and z. x and y are the coordinates, and z is the third values. we can use image(x, y, z,...) to generate a figure according to the z-values, but the problem is the figure legend. How can the legend be added to a figure generated by image()? Note that filled.contour() can

Hi, Is there any package or code to compare and display correlated ROC curves in R? Thanks, Reza [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R users, We have some programs for the specific task in our research, but they were very commonly used. We want to make some functions for them, anybody can recommend any good tools to facilitate us to create R functions even without going deep into the theories of R functions ? Any suggestions or help are greatly appreciated. -- With Kind Regards, oooO::::::::: (..):::::::::

Dear friends, After fitting a generalized linear models ,i hope to get the variance of alpha,variance of beta and their covariance, that is , the variance-covariance matrix/information of alpha and beta , suppose *B* is the object of GLMs, i use attributes(B) to look for the options ,but can't find it, anybody knows how to get it? > attributes(B) $names [1] "coefficients"

Dear friends, My dataset is like the following: x y mcpvalue 0.4603578 0.6247629 1.001 0.4603715 0.6247788 1.001 0.4603852 0.6247948 1.001 0.4110561 0.5664841 0.995 The x and y variables are unsorted. I use the function image(x,y,mcpvalue) to generate a plot, but the error is that "increasing 'x' and

Dear all, Following the help from gam(mgcv) help page, i tried to analyze my dataset with all the default arguments. Unfortunately, it can't be run successfully. I list the errors below. #m.gam<-gam(mark~s(x,y)+s(lstday2004)+s(slope)+s(ndvi2004)+s(elevation)+s(disbinary),family=binomial(logit),data=point)

Dear friends, In S-PLUS, we can use the following argument, but not in R. mode12 <- gam(score1 ~ lo(latitude) + lo(longitude)) I searched the help in S-PLUS, it says lo() Allows the user to specify a Loess fit in a GAM formula, but i didn't find the correponding function in R. Anybody knows how to do the similar task in R? Thanks very much. -- With Kind Regards, oooO:::::::::

I did some serach around. It seems that ROC curve computation is not supported on R. Anyone has some leads? Thanks. Jason ===== Jason G.

Hi, I was lately debugging parts of my 'colAUC' function in caTools package, and in a process looked into other packages for calculating Areas Under ROC Curves (AUC). To my surprise I found at least 6 other functions: * wilcox.test * AUC from ROC package, * performance from ROCR package, * auROC from limma package, * ROC from Epi package, * roc.area from verification

Dear Rusers, I have met a difficult problem on explaining the differences of principal component analysis(PCA) between R,S-PLUS and SAS/STATA/SPSS, which wasn't met before. Althought they have got the same eigenvalues, their coeffiecients were different. First, I list my results from R,S-PLUS and SAS/STATA/SPSS, and then show the original dataset, hoping sb. to try and explain it.

Hi, I need to build ROC curve in R, can you please provide data steps / code or guide me through it. Thanks and Regards Rithesh M Mohan [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all, I would like to calculate the optimal cut off (threshold) of a test using the Epi package. Here I am presenting some data based on the output of two tests. I am interested in identifying the optimal cut off an its 95% CI. Running the ROC() function with the Epi package I obtain a nice picture that returns what I interpret as the optimal cut off with lr.eta=0.431. would be this the

Dear friends, As we all know, the usual model selection criteria(e.g.deviance,AIC...) in GLMs isn't very good for selecting the best model when overdispersion exist, so we need to adjust the corresponding statistic,see(Fitzmaurice,G.M. (1997) Model selection with overdispersed
