similar to: standard error for median

Hi, A client has a consumption measure on each of four products. The sample size is 75. The consumption distributions are highly skewed for each product. He would like a pairwise comparison test of the products, much like Tukey's HSD but using medians rather than means. Is there such a median comparison test in R?

I am fitting quantile regression models using data collected from a sample of 124 patients. When modeling cross-sectional associations, I have noticed that nonparametric bootstrap estimates of the variances of parameter estimates are much greater in magnitude than the empirical Huber estimates derived using summary.rq's "nid" option. The outcome variable is severely skewed, and I am

Hi! Suppose I have a dataset as follows pd = c(10,7,10,11,7,11,7,6,8,3,12,7,7,10,10) I wish to calculate the mean, standard deviation, median, skewness and kurtosis i.e. regular standard statistical measures. average = mean(pd) stdev    = sd(pd) median = median(pd) skew    = skewness(pd) kurt     =  kurtosis(pd) Q. No (1) How do I get these at a stretch using some R package? I came across

Hello I'm not sure I'm using boot correctly: I have a list of values for a variable in BUCKET[, j] I want to use function 'boot' to estimate a confidence interval on the mean of the non-zero data. The data can be bi-polar or skewed. Is this the correct use of boot to establish a mean and standard deviation or median and percentiles? x<-BUCKET[, j]

I am sure I am opening myself up to looking stupid, but I have two samples with medians of 613.5 and 189 (difference in location of 424 compared to the difference suggested from the wilcoxon of 291.5) > wilcox.test(pipwtCount,pipwdCount, conf.int=TRUE, na.rm=TRUE) Wilcoxon rank sum test data: pipwtCount and pipwdCount W = 822, p-value = 0.01227 alternative hypothesis: true location

The code I'm using is shown below. I would like to have a larger median at the top of the plot so that I can show the entirity of "title_text". Several times I tried messing with "par(mar", but that seemed to make matters worse. By any chance can anyone provide any insight as to the best way to increase the top/upper/northern margin, so the entirity of the title is

for the stats gurus does anyone know if there exists a general formula relating the median of a continuous distribution to its moments. the distribution could be skewed or symmetric and is definitely not normal. the reason for asking is since the median of the particular distribution that i am interested in is difficult (probably impossible) to obtain. the median depends depends on an incomplete

Okay, so I have a homework projecr for R, and we had to input the following link as some sort of data: nb10 <- read.table("http://www.adjoint-functors.net/su/web/314/R/NB10"). Afterwards, we have to use fivenum(nb10) to find max, min, quantiles, and sd, but I'm okay with this. The next question is where I'm stuck. The question is as follows; Compare the median (use the

I have a Date x Stock (223 x 520) matrix of "trading volume". I can calculate a 5-day (past) average in about 1 second using: R> apply(vol, 1, filter, filter=c(0, rep(1/5,5)), sides=1) I would like to do the same with a 5-day median, e.g.: R> mymed <- function(x, n=5) { R> r <- rep(NA, length(x)) R> for (i in (n+1):length(x)) r[i] <- median(x[i-(1:n)]) R>

Hello, following functions doesnt work correct with my data: median(), geo.mean(). My datafiles contain more than 10.000 lines and six columns from a flow-cytometer-measurment. I need the arithmetic and geometric mean and median. For the calculation of the geometric mean i wrote following function: fix(geo.mean) function(x) { n<-length(x)

If my aim is to select a good subset of parameters for my final logit model built using glm(). What is the best way to cross-validate the results so that they are reliable? Let's say that I have a large dataset of 1000's of observations. I split this data into two groups, one that I use for training and another for validation. First I use the training set to build a model, and the the

Dear useRs, I want to simulate a time series (stationary; the distribution of values is skewed to the right; quite a few ARMA absolute standardized residuals above 2 - about 8% of them). Is this the right way to do it? #-------------------------------- load("rdtb") #the time series > summary(rdtb) Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. -1.11800 -0.65010 -0.09091

Folks: I know this may be overreaching, but are we missing what's important? WHY do the zeros occur? Are they values less then a known or unknown LOD? -- and/or is there positive mass on zero? In either case, using logs to calculate a geometric mean may not make sense. Paraphrasing Greg Snow, what is the scientific question? What is the model? Cheers, Bert On Mon, Jan 17, 2011 at 9:13 AM,

Hi I am working on corpora of automatically recognized utterances, looking for features that predict error in the hypothesis the recognizer is proposing. I am using the glm functions to do logistic regression. I do this type of thing: * logistic.model = glm(formula = similarity ~., family = binomial, data = data) and end up with a model: > summary(logistic.model) Call:

Dear R-users, Does anyone knows how I can order my serie of boxplots from lowest to highest median (which is much better for visualization purposes). thanks in advance, willem [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi I am looking for suitable packages in R that do regression analyses using least median squares method (or better). Additionally, I am also looking for packages that implement algorithms/methods for detecting outliers that can be discarded before doing the regression analyses. Although some websites refer to "lms" method under package "lps" in R, I am unable to find such a

Dear all I have a question about quantiles standard error, partly practical partly theoretical. I know that x<-rlnorm(100000, log(200), log(2)) quantile(x, c(.10,.5,.99)) computes quantiles but I would like to know if there is any function to find standard error (or any dispersion measure) of these estimated values. And here is a theoretical one. I feel that when I compute median from given
