similar to: function for the average or expected range?; CORECTION TO CORRECTION

Hi, All: ** My previous email on this subject seemed to contain an error; check the correction: Is there a function in R to compute the expected range of a sample of size n from some distribution? I ask, because I was recently asked about the control chart constant 'd2', which is the expected range for a sample of size n from a standard normal. There is a fairly simple

Hi, All: Is there a function in R to compute the expected range of a sample of size n from some distribution? I ask, because I was recently asked about the control chart constant 'd2', which is the expected range for a sample of size n from a standard normal. There is a fairly simple formula for the expected value of the range, given, e.g., in Kendall and Stuart (1969)

is there a way to use the actual index value for plotting zoo objects this is the way that the index is set up and a sample range of what I would like to plot 01/01/06 00:00:00 - 01/01/06 23:45:00 { library(zoo) # chron library(chron) fmt.chron <- function(x) { chron(sub(" .*", "", x), gsub(".* (.*)", "\\1:00", x)) }} x <- structure(c(15.57, 15.5,

> library(Kendall) > Kendall(1:3,1:3) WARNING: Error exit, tauk2. IFAULT = 12 <<<<<< tau = 1, 2-sided pvalue =1 I believe Kendall tau is well-defined for this case and the reported value is correct; isn't it a bug to give a warning? (And if, e.g., the pvalue is not well-defined in this case, wouldn't it be better to return NA or NaN or something?) Also,

Hi every body: I need some help with kendall.global. The example in the manual seems not working well, and cannot used with my data, always the same error. data(mite) > mite.hel <- decostand(mite, "hel") > > # Reproduce the results shown in Table 2 of Legendre (2005), a single group > mite.small <- mite.hel[c(4,9,14,22,31,34,45,53,61,69),c(13:15,23)] >

Hi there, I'm trying to apply the Mann Kendall test for trend analysis of a time series. I have downloaded and installed the package Kendall and subsequently loaded it into the software. My time series is a .txt file with 2 columns - column 1 is the year (1985 - 2009) and column 2 is the corresponding entry variable. According to the R guidelines, the call should be: MannKendall(x)

Dear R users I want to compute Kendall's Tau between two vectors x and y. But x and y may have zeros in the same position(s) and I wrote the following function to be sure to drop out those "double zeros" "cor.kendall" <- function(x,y) { nox <- c() noy <- c() # for (i in 1:length(x)) if (x[i]!= 0 | y[i] != 0) nox[length(nox)+1]<- x[i] for (i in

Colleagues, I ran some nonparametric regressions in R (run in RedHat Linux), then a colleague repeated the analyses in SAS. When we obtained different results, I tested S-Plus (same Linux box). And, got yet different results. I replicated the results with a small dataset: DATA: 37.5 23 37.5 13 25 16 25 12 100 15 12.5 19 50 20 100 13 100 10 100 10 100 16 50 10 87.5

Dear R-helpers, I'm fighting with the following problem : I want to do bootstrapping on a Kendall correlation with the following code : > cor.function <- function(data,i) cor(data[i, 1], data[i, 2],method="kendall") > boot.ci <- boot.ci(boot.cor <- boot(cbind(x,y),cor.function, R=1000),conf=c(0.95,0.99)) However, I've got problems because I've got ties

Hi all, I am trying to write a script that will compute Kendall's tau for a 75 time series (using the Kendall package) and will then write the tau and p values from the Kendall test to a text file table that can be read into Excel. I am having no problem calculating Kendall's tau and the associated p value for each time series, but I am having trouble figuring out how aggregate the

Hi all, I would like to ask a question related to Kendall package. I ran Kendall (x,y) and saw the results. But I am not sure which tau values R reported. I have ties in my data set, so I want tau-b. Can anybody tell how Kendall package is calculating tau values? I have looked at the package PDF, but I could not find any useful information. As long as I see from the following link, there

Hello, I thougth that there is a function which does the kendall test in R, I writed on the console apropos("kendall") and I didn't found anything can you tell me how could I do to use the kendall test? Thanks. _____________________________________________________________________________ l [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I am running a correlation analysis on a temporal dataset. I was wondering if you would receive the same tau and p values running the function: MannKendall(x), where x is the dependant variable that changes with time as you would running: Kendall(d,x), where x is the exact same dataset as the x entered into MannKendall and d is the date on which the observation was made (assuming that

Hi all, I'm not quite sure if this is a feature or a bug or if I just fail to understand the documentation: If I use cor() with pairwise.complete.obs and method=pearson, the result is a scalar: ->cor(c(1,2,3),c(3,4,6),use="pairwise.complete.obs",method="pearson") [1] 0.9819805 The documentation says that " '"pairwise.complete.obs"' only

Dear useRs, I've been trying to run a Mann-Kendall test in my data in order to detect trends. I studied the examples given at the Kendall package and I can understand pretty well how it works on time-series data. However, my data consists of values in different sites per year, as I display below;              Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | ... Site 1        x           x          x       ...

Hi, I try to calculate Kendall's W coefficient and I have a bizarre error. little.app.mat<-matrix(c(1,3,4,2,6,5,2,4,3,1,5,6,3,2,5,1,5,4),nrow=3,byrow=TRUE) print(kendall.w(little.app.mat[-1,])) >>> Kendall's W for ordinal data >>> W = 0.7753623Error in if (is.na(x$p.table)) { : argument is of length zero

Dear R users, I have not found anything on this in the archives. Does anyone know whehther the parameter use= is not functioning in cor or enlighten me what it is supposed to do? My R version is "R version 1.8.1, 2003-11-21" on Windows 2000. I am hoping to be able to update to 1.9.1 as soon as it has appeared (we are not allowed here to install software on our own and thus I am trying

A couple years ago, we moved to Oracle RAC on Linux using ocfs that is SAN attached to an EMC CLARiiON. At the time, there was a reason that we did NOT use EMC's Powerpath (I just can't recall what that reason was). What I'd like to know is if there are any issues with introducing Powerpath now. * RHEL 2.1 AS * 2.4.9-e.38enterprise * ocfs-2.4.9-e-enterprise-1.0.13-1 * EMC

I know this is a dumb question but I'm pulling out what little hair I have left.
