ANOVA of a sort
Dear R Help, I have a general question - I know this is the R list, but I hope someone can help me out a little as I've always found the help here to be absolutely fantastic. I have run a psychological study where participants are given multiple stimuli and their responses to those stimuli are measured on the same numerical scale, i.e., the data is something like Participant Stimulus

repeated measurements ANOVA
Dear list, i am setting up a GLM for a repeated measurement ANOVA using the lm and ANOVA function. my design contains four factors with 5, 5, 2 and 2 (= 14) levels, respectively. the data are stored in a data.frame with six columns, one for the data themselves and the remainings for the factors where strings indicate the factor levels in each row. now i would like to restructure this

some questions about longitudinal study with baseline
Hi all, I asked this before the holiday, didn't get any response. So would like to resend the message, hope to get any fresh attention. Since this is not purely lme technical question, so I also cc-ed R general mailing list, hope to get some suggestions from there as well. I asked some questions on how to analyze longitudinal study with only 2 time points (baseline and a follow-up)

labelling points plotted in a 2D plan
I created a 2 D plan: > plot(range(-2.5,0.95),range(0.00,1.00),type="n",axes=TRUE) I made a projection of points with their coordonates (X,Y) in that plan > fullpoints=read.csv2("fullpoints.csv",h=T) > plot(fullpoints) The points are listed in that .csv file it is organized this way: 0,48875 0,142857143 0,409 0,142857143 0,45611 0,25 0,49833 0,222222222 0,61158

simple randomization question: How to perform "sample" in chunks
Hello dear R-help group. My task looks simple, but I can't seem to find a "smart" (e.g: non loop) solution to it. Task: I wish to randomize a data.frame by one column, while keeping the inner-order in the second column as is. So for example, let's say I have the following data.frame: xx <-data.frame(a= c(1,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,4) , b =

[package-car:Anova] extracting residuals from Anova for Type II/III Repeated Measures ?
Hello dear R members. I have been learning the Anova syntax in order to perform an SS type III Anova with repeated measures designs (thank you Prof. John Fox!) And another question came up: where/what are the (between/within) residuals for my model? ############ Play code: phase <- factor(rep(c("pretest", "posttest", "followup"), c(5, 5, 5)),

Is there an R implementation for the "Barnard's exact test" (a substitute for fisher.test) ?
Hello R help members. I came across today with an article on Barnard's exact test (http://www.cytel.com/Papers/twobinomials.pdf), that is supposed to give a more powerful fisher.test - Because it doesn't assume that we know the row and column totals are in advance. Any pointers to such a function ? Thanks, Tal -- ---------------------------------------------- My contact information:

Are there any bloggers amoung us going to useR 2009 ?
*(note*: This is an R community question, not a statistical nor coding question. Since this is my first time writing such a post, I hope no one will take offence of it.) Hello all, I will be attending useR 2009 next week, and was wondering if there are any of you who are *bloggers *intending to participate and report on useR 2009? If so - I would love to know your blogs URL so as to follow you.

[cluster package question] What is the "sum of the dissimilarities" in the pam command ?
Hello Martin Maechler and All, A simple question (I hope): How can I compute the "sum of the dissimilarities" that appears in the pam command (from the cluster package) ? Is it the "manhattan" distance (such as the one implemented by "dist") ? I am asking since I am running clustering on a dataset. I found 7 medoids with the pam command, and from it I have the

Bug in "seq" (or a "feature") ?
(I use R 2.9.1 with win XP) If I run this code: seq(-0.1,.9, by = .05)[seq(-0.1,.9, by = .05) <= 0.5] I get this output: [1] -0.10 -0.05 0.00 0.05 0.10 0.15 0.20 0.25 0.30 0.35 0.40 0.45 Why is 0.50 not in the results ? (It seems that it gives a slightly bigger number then 0.5 but I don't understand why it does that) Where as if I try: seq(-0.1,.9, by = .05)[seq(-0.1,.9, by = .05) <=

variable/model selction (step/stepAIC) for biglm ?
Hello dear R mailing list members. I have recently became curious of the possibility applying model selection algorithms (even as simple as AIC) to regressions of large datasets. I searched as best as I could, but couldn't find any reference or wrapper for using step or stepAIC to packages such as biglm. Any ideas or directions of how to implement such a concept ? Best, Tal --

bug (?!) in "pam()" clustering from fpc package ?
Hello all. I wish to run k-means with "manhattan" distance. Since this is not supported by the function "kmeans", I turned to the "pam" function in the "fpc" package. Yet, when I tried to have the algorithm run with different starting points, I found that pam ignores and keep on starting the algorithm from the same starting-points (medoids). For my

ANOVA/statistics question
(Have searched for this already) Hi, How do you find the strength of correlation between two variables using an ANOVA table? "Pr(>F)" gives the statistical significance of the association, but not the strength of the correlation. See data (from R) below Readable: "Df" "Sum Sq" "Mean Sq" "F value"

Combining: R + Condor in 2009 ? (+foreach maybe?)
Hello dear R-help group (and David Smith from REvolution), I would like to perform parallel computing using R with Condor (hopefully using foreach or other recommended solutions, if available) for some "Embarrassingly parallel" problem. I will start by listing what I found so far, and then go on asking for help. So far I found the a manual by Xianhong Xie from Rnews_2005-2 (see page

Selecting elements from a vector (a simple question with weird results)
Hello people. I wish to reorder a simple vector of numbers by another vector of the order (and then do the same, but with a data frame rows) I try this (which doesn't work) : > aa <- c(3, 1 ,2 ) > aa[aa] [1] 2 3 1 The same won't work if I try to order a data frame: > data.frame(matrix(c(3,1,2), 3,2))[c(3,1,2),] X1 X2 3 2 2 1 3 3 2 1 1 How should I do this? p.s:

Hello dear R help group. My question is statistical and not R specific, yet I hope some of you might be willing to help. *Experiment settings*: We have a list of subjects. each of them went through two tests with the answer to each can be either 0 or 1. *Goal*: We want to know if the two experiments yielded different results in the subjects answers. *Statistical test (and why it won't

Reading a file line by line - separating lines VS separating columns
Hello all. I wish to read a large data set into R. My current issue is in getting the data so that R would be able to access it. Using read.table won't work since the data is over 1GB in size (and I am using windows XP), so my plan was to read the file chunk by chunk and each time move it into bigmemory (I'll play with that when the time will come, maybe ff is better ?!).

How to turn a LaTeX Sweave file (Rnw) into .HTML/.odf/.docx? (under windows)
Hello dear R help members, I have found several references on how to do this, my question is if anyone is actually using them - and if there are some strong points on what to use, and how well it is working out. My goal is to be able to easily create docs from R, but to be able to share it with other researchers (who do not use LaTeX) so they could easily copy/paste the tables and edit them for

Can I use "mcnemar.test" for 3*3 tables (or is there a bug in the command?)
Hello all, I wish to perform a mcnemar test for a 3 by 3 matrix. By running the slandered R command I am getting a result but I am not sure I am getting the correct one. Here is an example code: (tt <- as.table(t(matrix(c(1,4,1 , 0,5,5, 3,1,5), ncol = 3)))) mcnemar.test(tt, correct=T) #And I get: McNemar's Chi-squared
