Hi, we are trying to do structural equation modelling on R. However, one of our predictor variables is categorical (smoker/nonsmoker). Now, if we want to run the sem() command (from the sem library), we need to specify a covariance matrix (cov). However, Pearson's correlation does not work on the dichotomous variable, so instead we produced a covariance matrix using the Spearman's (or

Hi. Excuse my English. I've installed Samba+OpenLDAP as a PDC. Everything works fine but Samba ignores completely group information. Linux is ok. Any clue? I'm going crazy here!

Dear UseRs, Suppose I have data regarding smoking habits of a prospective cohort and wish to determine the risk ratio of colorectal cancer in the smokers compared to the non-smokers. What do I do at the end of the study with people who die of heart disease? Can I just censor them exactly the same as people who become uncontactable or who die in a plane crash? If not, why not? I'm thinking

How do I change the font size in the facet labels along the edges of the plot? For example (from the ggplot help file): p<-ggplot(tips, sex ~ smoker, aesthetics=list(x=tip/total_bill)) gghistogram(p) In this plot, the facet labels are "smoker: No", "smoker: Yes", "sex: Female", "sex: Male". What command can I use to reduce the font size of

Dear All I am trying to include sampling weights in multilavel regression analysis using packege lme4 using following codes print(fm1 &lt;- lmer(DC~sex+age+smoker+alcohol+fruits(1|setting), dataset,REML = FALSE), corr = FALSE) print(fm2 &lt;- lmer(DC~sex+age+smoker+alcohol+fruits(1|setting), dataset,REML = FALSE), corr = FALSE,weights=sweight) The problem is both the

Hi everyone, I have a certain number of samples and I want to visualize the groups those samples belong to. For example, suppose to have three variables, age, sex, and smoker/nonsmoker, and three samples, S1, S2, S3. S1 is 35, male, nonsmoker S2 is 24, female, nonsmoker S3 is 24, female, smoker at the end I have the following data frame: S1 S2 S3 age 35 24 30 sex M F F smk N N S What I

Hi, Does anyone know if: with R can you take a set of numbers and aggregate them like you can in SPSS? For example, could you calculate the percentage of people who smoke based on a dataset like the following: smoke = 1 non-smoke = 2 variable 1 1 1 2 2 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 When aggregated, SPSS can tell you what percentage of persons are smokers based on the frequency of 1's and 2's. Can

This is probably very simple but I'm new to R so apologies for being stupid. I have some data with No coded as 0 and yes coded as 1. e.g. id sex alcohol smoker 1 M 0 1 2 F 1 0 3 M 0 0 I realise I can covert the numerical variable back to a factor by falcohol<-factor(alcohol,levels=0:1) levels<-c("No","Yes")

I'm trying to do a Hosmer-Lemeshow 'goodness of fit' test on my logistic regression model. I found some code here: http://sas-and-r.blogspot.com/2010/09/example-87-hosmer-and-lemeshow-goodness.html The R code is above is a little complicated for me but I'm having trouble with my answer: Hosmer-Lemeshow: p=0.6163585 le Cessie and Houwelingen test (Design library): p=0.2843620

Hi, i am trying to read a .txt file, do a couple of select if statements on my data, and then finally use the ?table function to get frequency counts on the data. Specifically, i am looking at answering the following question: What is the frequency of Grade 7 students in the province of Alberta who are smokers? I am having some problems: 1)i cannot get the column names to show up when print

R Experts: I am conducting a meta-analysis where the effect measures to be pooled are simple proportions. For example, consider this data from Fleiss/Levin/Paik's Statistical methods for rates and proportions (2003, p189) on smokers: Study N Event P(Event) 1 86 83 0.965 2 93 90 0.968 3 136 129 0.949 4 82 70 0.854 Total

Hi, I've written code to extact a pumf file in R, subset it, and weight it like you would do in SPSS. My code is below & it works great. My question is: how do i then calculate the frequencies of smokers (1) versus non-smokers (2) after having weighted my file? or even the process that SPSS is going through to aggregate the data? Thanks, Nat Here is my code:

Dear Professor Lumley I am relatively new to using R and also to logistic regression. We have analysed our Dudley Health Survey using the survey package. I am now trying to look at associations using svyglm but I am unsure of how to interpret the output and present the resulting model or whether there are any other things I should do to check the validity of the model. Below is an example of
