similar to: hands-on book on multivariate statistics and data-mining with R?

Hi all, Could anybody please recommend some hands-on books on classification, data-mining and machine learning with R? I would like to get a very good understanding of the statistical tools that are used in these areas, while reducing the learning curve. Thank you!

Hi all, Could you please help me? I am looking for books/pointers/resources/tutorials on visualizing complex/big data and on understanding multivariate relations in complicated data. More specifically, we have categorical variables and are interested in how to visualize the categorical data and visualize data conditioned upon categorical values. Could anybody please give me some pointers?

Dear Madame / Sir, European Courses in Advanced Statistics (ECAS) is a programme supported by the main Statistical European Societies. The ECAS are intended to achieve postgraduate training in special areas of statistics for both researchers and teachers at universities. Also professionals, who work in industry and are interested in the application of new statistical methods, are invited

20 subjects were measured in 5 conditions (thus repeated measures) and for each subject in each condition there are 4 response measures (thus multivariate as it is a combined score that needs to be compared across the conditions). So, using a multivariate approach to repeated measures this is a doubly multivariate analysis. I would appreciate any suggestions as to the best way to do such a

Hello, I am switching from SPSS-Windows to R-Linux. My university is very SPSS-oriented so maybe that's the cause of my problems. I am a beginner in R and my assignments are SPSS-oriented, so I hope I don't annoy anyone with my questions... Right now I've got 2 problems: -I have to evaluate discriminant functions I have calculated with lda(MASS). I can't find a measure that

Dear all, I found the following behaviour with pacf() in the multivariate case, set.seed(10) x <- rnorm(1000,sd=10000) y <- rnorm(1000,sd=1) pacf(ts(cbind(x,y)),plot=FALSE,lag.max=10) Partial autocorrelations of series 'cbind(x, y)', by lag , , x x y 0.047 ( 1) 0.000 ( -1) 0.011 ( 2) 0.000 ( -2) 0.005 ( 3) 0.000 ( -3) 0.013 ( 4)

Hi, I am working on a multivariate linear regression of the form y = Ax. I am seeing a great dispersion of y w.r.t x. For example, the correlations between y and x are very small, even after using some typical transformations like log, power. I tried with simple linear regression, robust regression and ace and avas package in R (or splus). I didn't see an improvement in the fit and

Hi, there. I have two questions about the diagnostics in multivarite statistics. 1. Is there any diagnostics tool to check if a multivariate sample is from multivariate normal distribution? If there is one, is there any function doing it in R? 2. Is there any function of testing if two multivariate distribution are same, i.e. the multivariate extension of Kolomogrov-Smirnov test? Thanks for

Hello to everyone! I am working on my final year project about multivariate time series. There are three variables in the multivariate time series model. I have a few questions: 1. I used acf and pacf plot and find my variables are nonstationary. But in adf.test() and pp.test(), the data are stationary. why? 2.I use VAR to get a model. y is the matrix of data set and I have made a once

Hi, How can I generate data from multivariate gamma distribution & multivariate beta distribution? I only found command for multivariate normal only. Many thanks in advance :) Regards Rofizah [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear Community, For my masters thesis I need to perform a multivariate granger causality test. I have found a code for bivariate testing on this page (http://www.econ.uiuc.edu/~econ472/granger.R.txt), which I think would not be useful for the multivariate case. Does anybody know a code for a multivariate granger causality test. Thank you in advance. Best Regards -- View this message in context:

Dear R Helpers, I have searched for any R package or code for simulating multivariate fractional Brownian motion (mFBM) or multivariate fractional Gaussian noise (mFGN) when a covariance matrix are given. Unfortunately, I could not find such a package or code. Can you suggest any solution for multivariate FBM and FGN simulation? Thank you for your help. Best Regards, Ryan ----- Wonsang You

Hello, I have a question about multivariate Shapiro-Wilks test. I tried to analyze if the data I have are multivariate normal, or how far they are from being multivariate normal. However, any time I did >mshapiro.test(mydata) I get the message: Error in solve.default(R %*% t(R), tol = 1e-18) : system is computationally singular: reciprocal condition number = 5.38814e-021 I tried

Greetings all I promised a summary of the responses that I got to my question: "Next year I will be teaching a third year course in applied statistics about 1/3 of which is multivariate statistics. I would be interested in hearing experiences from those who have taught multivariate statistics using R. Especially I am interested in the textbook that you used or recommended." There

Dear Metafor users, I'm conducting a metaanalysis of prevalence of a particular behaviour based on someone elses' code. I've been labouring under the impression that this: summary(rma.1<-rma(yi,vi,mods=cbind(approxmeanage,interviewmethodcode),data=mal,method="DL",knha=F,weighted=F,intercept=T)) is doing the multivariate analysis that i want, but have read that

Hi all, rmvnorm()can be used to generate the random numbers from a multivariate normal distribution with specified means and covariance matrix, but i want to specify the correlation matrix instead of covariance matrix for the multivariate normal distribution. Does anybody know how to generate the random numbers from a multivariate normal distribution with specified correlation matrix? What about

Hello folks, many multivariate anayses (e.g., structural equation modeling) require multivariate normal distributions. Real data, however, most often significantly depart from the multinormal distribution. Some researchers (e.g., Yuan et al., 2000) have proposed a multivariate transformation of the variables. Can you tell me, if and how such a transformation can be handeled in R? Thanks in

Dear R Users, I'm working on a problem where I have a multivariate response vector of counts and a continuous predictor. I've thought about doing this the same way you would do a Multvariate regression model with normally distributed data, but since these data are counts, they are probably better modeled with a Poisson distribution. For example y1<-rpois(100,3.5) y2<-rpois(100,1.5)
