Dear R users, An updated version of the np package has recently been uploaded to CRAN (version 0.14-1). The package is briefly described in a recent issue of Rnews (October, 2007, http://cran.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/Rnews_2007-2.pdf) for those who might be interested. A somewhat more detailed paper that describes the np package is forthcoming in the Journal of Statistical Software

Dear r-helpers, This might be an elementary question, but I have a hard time getting my head around it, so all help is much appreciated. I am working on a nonlinear regression model of the form if z > 0 y = f1(x,y), else y = f2(x,t) . In other words, the functional form of f(.) changes according to some criteria z. Natural approach would be to fit two models, i.e. model1 <- nlm(y ~ ...,

Hello r-help, I am using the excellent np package to conduct a nonparametric kernel regression and am having some trouble plotting the results. I have 2 covariates, x1 and x2, and a continuous outcome variable y. I am conducting a nonparametric regression of y on x1 and x2. The one somewhat unusual feature of these data is that, to be included in the dataset, x1 must be at least as large as x2.

Dear R users, Version 0.30-6 of the np package has been uploaded to CRAN. See http://cran.r-project.org/package=np Note that the cubature package is now required in addition to the boot package. The recent updates in 0.30-4 through 0.30-6 provides additional functionality in the form of five new functions that incorporate frequently requested nonparametric entropy-based testing methods to the

Dear R users, A parallel implementation of the np package titled `npRmpi' is now available on CRAN. This package can take advantage of multiple core computing environments to reduce the run time associated with the methods contained in the np package. Kindly see the vignette for details and examples on modifying np code and running it in a parallel environment. You are requested to seek

Dear R users, A new package titled `np' is now available from CRAN. The package implements recently developed kernel methods that seamlessly handle the mix of continuous, unordered, and ordered factor datatypes often found in applied settings. The package also allows users to create their own nonparametric/semiparametric routines using high-level function calls (via the function npksum())

Dear r-helpers, I am working with plm package. I am trying to fit a fixed effects (or a 'within') model of the form y_it = a_i + b_i*t + e_it, i.e. a model with an individual-specific intercept and an individual- specific slope. Does plm support this directly? Thanks in advance! Otto Kassi

Dear R gurus, I use R all the time at work, so one day a problem managing my personal arise data made me think: "Why not use R, it does everything!". Anyway, my goal is to use R to manage my personal music library, and more precisely my playcounts. I have two XML files, one from Winamp and the other one from Itunes. Both have pretty much the same songs, but their playcounts are

Dear all, I wrote a code which supposedly should create a function which performs a local linear regression at point x (lower case). The issue is that I have no reference to check if indeed my code performs correctly a local linear regression. Is there any function in R that performs a local linear regression (to give conditional expectation which I am interested in and not graph) in order to

Dear R Users, Before running ksmooth( ), a suitable bandwidth selection is needed. I use some functions for this task and receive these results for my data: width.SJ(y,nb=100,method="ste") : 40.25 bcv(y,nb=100) : 40.53 ucv(y) : 41.26 bandwidth.nrd(y) : 45.43 After implementing the function ksmooth(x,y, bandwidth= each of abovementioned bandwidths), I have some NAs
