Hi -- I've added splint annotations to rsync code from CVS. The resulting work-in-progress is at ftp://people.redhat.com/jbj/rsync-splint.tar.gz Splint is a lightweight assertion checker, details at http://www.splint.org Any interest in including splint annotations in rsync source code? If so, inquire privately and I'll try to assist. 73 de Jeff -- Jeff Johnson ARS N3NPQ

Has anyone got a function for smooth monotonic interpolation of a univariate function? I'm after something like the NAG function PCHIM which does monotonic Hermite interpolation. Alternatively, montononic cubic spline interpolation. Please reply directly.

Hallo, I'm facing a problem and I would really appreciate your support. I have to translate some Matalb code in R that I don't know very well but I would like to. I have to interpolate 5 point with a cubic spline function and then I expect my function returns the Y value as output a specific X value inside the evaluation range. Let's suppose that: 1- *X = [-10, -5, 0, 5, 10]* 2

Greetings - Does CRAN or someone similar make a splint / lint-like syntax checker for R? I realize that both ESS and the debug package and similar tools have debugging and error analysis features, but those appear to require running the code through the R buffer. I'd like something that did basic syntax and object-name verification for code that was to run in batch, as a precursor to

I would like to fit a logistic regression using a smothing spline, where the spline is a piecewise cubic polynomial. Is the knots option used to define the subintervals for each piece of the cubic spline? If yes and there are k knots, then why does the coefficients field in the returned object from gam only list k coefficients? Shouldn't there be 4k -4 coefficients? Sincerely, Bill

Hello everyone,          Dr. wood told me that I can adapting his example to force cubic spline to pass through certain point.          I still have no idea how to achieve this. Suppose we want to force the cubic spline to pass (1,1), how can I achieve this by adapting the following code? # Penalized example: monotonic penalized regression spline ..... # Generate data from a monotonic truth.

Suppose I have two variables, x and y. For a fixed number of knots, I want to create a spline transformation of x such that a loss function is minimized. Presumably, this loss function would be least squares, i.e. sum (f(x)-y)^2. The spline transformations would be linear, quadratic or cubic. I know I can solve this problem using some optimization function in R, but I was wondering if anyone

Dear R-help, In the rms package, I have fitted an ols model with a variable represented as a restricted cubic spline, with the knot locations specified as a previously defined vector. When I save the model object and open it in another workspace which does not contain the vector of knot locations, I get an error message if I try to predict with that model. This also happens if only one workspace

Hi, I would like to fit an (interpolating) spline to data where the derivatives at the endpoints of the interval are nonzero, thus the natural spline endpoint-specification does not make sense. Books (de Boor, etc) suggest that in this case I use not-a-knot splines. I know what not-a-knot splines are (so if I were solving for the coefficients directly I knew how to do this), but I don't

Hi all, I have a vector of proportions (post_op_prw) such that >summary(amb$post_op_prw) Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. NA's 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.3985 0.9134 0.9962 1.0000 > summary(cut2(amb$post_op_prw,0.0001)) [0.0000,0.0001) [0.0001,0.9962] NA's 1904 1672 1

BUG IN SPLINE()? Version R-1.0.1, system i486,linux If the spline(x,y,method="natural") function is given values outside the range of the data, it does not give a warning. Moreover, the extrapolated value reported is not the ordinate of the natural spline defined by (x,y). Example. Let x <- c(2,5,8,10) and y <- c(1.2266,-1.7606,-0.5051,1.0390). Then interpolate/extrapolate with

Hi, I am trying to fit cubic spline to a data on mortality rate by age and year (1900-2008). The data is noisy and hence I would like to smooth using spline and also extrapolate beyond 2008. Data from 1900 to 1948 are very unreliable while data from 1948 to 2008 are reliable. I would like to have a higher weight for data between 1948 to 2008. I am not sure how to do this. When I smooth data from

Hi all, I am using GAM to model time trends in a logistic regression. Yet I would like to extract the the fitted spline from it to add it to another model, that cannot be fitted in GAM or GAMM. Thus I have 2 questions: 1) How can I fit a smoother over time so that I force one knot to be at a particular location while letting the model to find the other knots? 2) how can I extract the matrix

Hi Arjen, just to revive the static code analysis thread... It would be nice if you could expose your ideas and the results of your tests. Also, apart from Splint, have you tested any other systems?

Hello, I am trying to estimate a multivariate regression of Y on X with regression splines. Y is (nx1), and X is (nxd), with d>1. I assume the data is generated by some unknown regression function f(X), as in Y = f(X) + u, where u is some well-behaved regression error. I want to estimate f(X) via regression splines (tensor product splines). Then, I want to get the predicted values for some new

Greetings, I would like to use a cubic spline or smoother to model the fixed effects within nlme. So far the only smoother I have been able to get to run successfully in nlme is smooth(). I tried smooth.spline: fixed=list(lKa~1,lCL~smooth.spline(BSA, df=3)) the error I got was the following. Error in model.frame(formula, rownames, variables, varnames, extras, extranames, : invalid

Hi, If I set df=2 in my smooth.spline function, is that equivalent to running a linear regression through my data? It appears that df=# of data points gives the interpolating spline and that df = 2 gives the linear regression, but I just want to confirm this. Thank you, Steven

Hi all, I have fitted a gee model with the gee package and included restricted cubic spline functions. Here is the model: chol.g <- gee(SKIN ~ rcs(CHOLT, 3), id=ID, data=chol, family=binomial(link="logit"), corstr="exchangeable") To extract the log odds I use: predict.glm(chol.g, type = "link") Now I want to compute the logg odds for specific CHOLT values

Hello everone,            Anyone who knows how to force a cubic smoothing spline to pass through a particular point?            I found on website  someone said that we can use "cobs package" to force the spline pass through certain points or impose shape           constraints (increasing, decreasing). However,  this package is using  B-spline and can only do linear and quadratic
