Greetings, My question is more algorithmic than prectical. What I am trying to determine is, are the GAM algorithms used in the mgcv package affected by nonnormally-distributed residuals? As I understand the theory of linear models the Gauss-Markov theorem guarantees that least-squares regression is optimal over all unbiased estimators iff the data meet the conditions linearity,

Greetings fellow R entusiasts! We have some problems converting a computer routine written initially for Gauss to estimate a Markov Regime Switching analysis with Time Varying Transition Probability. The source code in Gauss is here: http://www.econ.washington.edu/user/cnelson/markov/programs/hmt_tvp.opt We have converted the code to R, and it's running without errors, but we have some

Dear r-Help readers, 1) Is there support for NSUR in some R package yet? 2) Is there a general function of applying the Gauss-Newton or Marquard method, in which the function of calculating the partial derivatives can be specified by the user? Contemporaneously correlated non-linear models (NSUR) is a method to fit a system of non-linear equations. I want to use to fit several non-linear

The search at www.r-project.org mentioned a function "gauss.hermite{rmutil}". However, 'install.packages("rmutil")' produced, 'No package "rmutil" on CRAN.' How can I find the current status of "gauss.hermite" and "rmutil"? Thanks, Spencer Graves

Hi, I would like to solve a double integral of the form \int_0^1 \int_0^1 x*y dx dy using Gauss Quadrature. I know that I can use R's integrate function to calculate it: integrate(function(y) { sapply(y, function(y) { integrate(function(x) x*y, 0, 1)$value }) }, 0, 1) but I would like to use Gauss Quadrature to do it. I have written the following code (using R's statmod package)

Dear All, I am a long time S user and now a convert to R. As part of my general work in time series I occasionally assist groups of econometricians and others in the finance fraternity. In particular, that community has invested a large amount of time and effort in writing specialised code in Gauss. I am unfamiliar with Gauss (although I have used Matlab which is, I understand, a comparable

I've written a series of functions that evaluates an integral from -inf to a or b to +inf using equally spaced quadrature points along a normal distribution from -10 to +10 moving in increments of .01. These functions are working and give very good approximations, but I think they are computationally wasteful as I am evaluating the function at *many* points. Instead, I would prefer to use

Hi, I am translating some Gauss code to R. Gauss has an interesting way of handling constraints. Observe the following code snipplet: e1 = x[.,23] .eq 0; @ remove obs with Regular Hours = 0 @ e2 = x[.,12] .gt 1; @ remove obs with non-regular work status @ e3 = x[.,4] .lt 15; @ remove obs with agricultural and mining industry code (< 15)@ esum = e1 + e2 + e3; e = esum .gt 0; @

I believe this may be more related to analysis than it is to R, per se. Suppose I have the following function that I wish to integrate: ff <- function(x) pnorm((x - m)/sigma) * dnorm(x, observed, sigma) Then, given the parameters: mu <- 300 sigma <- 50 m <- 250 target <- 200 sigma_i <- 50 I can use the function integrate as: > integrate(ff, lower= -Inf, upper=target)

Does anyone see why my code does not integrate to 1? library(statmod) mu <- 0 s <- 1 Q <- 5 qq <- gauss.quad(Q, kind='hermite') sum((1/(s*sqrt(2*pi))) * exp(-((qq$nodes-mu)^2/(2*s^2))) * qq$weights) ### This does what's it is supposed to myNorm <- function(theta) (1/(s*sqrt(2*pi))) * exp(-((theta-mu)^2/(2*s^2))) integrate(myNorm, -Inf, Inf)

Dear Users, i have this time series, the tree lines means different level, i would use a Markov switching model with two states to modelling this time series. i would obtain the relative transition matrix (2X2) the first state is above the value of 23.65 (the higher line) the second state is below the value of 23.65 You can ignore the other two lines

Hi, I am looking for a package to estimate regime switching models (states following a markov chain). I found packages for Hidden Markov Models but I am looking for something a little different: In the HMM the conditional distribution of the observations (give the state) is a known distribution (normal or others), while the package I need should allow to set a conditional distribution (given the

Hi, Does anybody know a function to simulate a Markov chain given a probability transition matrix and an initial state ? Thanks.

Could anyone tell me where can I find some examples of the applications to economics of a Markov chain? Many thanks in advance.

Hello, My name is Maria, MBA student in Sanfransisco, USA. In my credit scoring class, I have hard time making "transition matrix", which explains probability especially in relation to "Markov chain model". It is regarding people's monthly credit payment behavior. Does R have function to caculate it? I am actually a novice in using 'R'. Please help me!!! Maria

Hi r-programmers, I performe Breusch-Pagan tests (bptest in package lmtest) to check the homoscedasticity of the residuals from a linear model and I carry out carry out White's test via bptest (formula, ~ x * z + I(x^2) + I(z^2)) include all regressors and the squares/cross-products in the auxiliary regression. But what can I do if I want find coefficient and p-values of variables x, z, x*z,

Hi, I am trying to find a function that returns simply the weights and points of an n point gauss hermite integeration, so that I can use them to fit a non-standard likelihood. I have found some documentation for the function 'gauss.hermite' written by jim lindley, but can't find the actual binary on CRAN I'm aware there are lots of functions like glmm, glmmML etc to fit mixed

Dear List, In documents (Therneau, 2003 : On mixed-effect cox models, ...), as far as I came to know, coxme penalize the partial likelihood (Ripatti, Palmgren, 2000) where as frailtyPenal (in frailtypack package) uses the penalized the full likelihood approach (Rondeau et al, 2003). How, then, coxme and coxph(...frailty(id, dist='gauss')) differs? Just the coding algorithm, or in

Hi, Is there a package that will estimate simple Markov models and hidden Markov models for discrete time processes in R?
