Dear R users I have been looking for functions that can deal with overdispersed poisson models. According to actuarial literature (England & Verall, Stochastic Claims Reserving in General Insurance , Institute of Actiuaries 2002) this can be handled through the use of quasi likelihoods instead of normal likelihoods. However, we see them frequently in this type of data, and we would like to

Hi, for a backup program I have to find all differing files (including metadata) in two snapshots taken from the same subvolume. Having looked at the find-new command I thought about this process: 1. Get the two transids when the two snapshots were created. 2. Query modifications to the original subvolume between the two transids. Is the general process corrent or have I overseen

Hi there, I''ve got the following in my model: validates_format_of :postcode, :with => /^([a-zA-Z]{1,2}[0-9]{1,2} [0-9]{1}[a-zA-Z]{2})$/, :message => "is not valid", :if => :postcode ... but it''s not working - it always insists on validation, even if postcode is empty.

Hi all, I am looking for a function in R to trim the last two characters of an 8 character string in a vector. For example, I have the codes 37-079-2, 370079-3,37-079-8 and want to trim them to 37-079 by removing the last two characters. Is sub the correct function to use, and if so how can I specify trimming the last 2 characters? I have read the help file, but can't quite figure out how

Hi, I''m pretty new to ruby and rails, so apologies if this has been covered before (I couldn''t find a thread on it). I want to retrieve a count of records held in the DB for every distinct value of an attribute.

Hi, I often find myself using bits of code like this inside ActiveRecord, perhaps it''s useful for others, or others can improve on it: ########### # fix user input before validating it before_validation :sanitize_input # santize input before actual validation is called # this uses the little methods defined below def sanitize_input trim %w(adres postcode woonplaats email naam

If I want to display a few polynomial regression fits I can do something like for (i in 1:6) { mod <- lm(y ~ poly(x,i)) print(summary(mod)) } Suppose that I don't want to over-write the fitted model objects, though. How do I create a list of blank fitted model objects for later use in a loop? Murray Jorgensen -- Dr Murray Jorgensen

Dear R users, I have started work in a Statistics government department and I am trying to convince my bosses to install R on our computers (I can't do proper stats in Excel!!). They asked me to prove that this is a widely used software (and not just another free-source, bug infected toy I found on the web!) by suggesting other big organisations that use it. Are you aware of any reputable

Hello, I am confronted with a very strange problem which I can not solve... and God I tried a lot, lost almost a whole day, but couldn''t find an answer: The idea is to have a form both in admin and in dir, in admin there will be some more fields that is why I have twice a form.
