I am using nls to fit a non linear function to some data. The non linear function is: y= 1- exp(-(k0+k1*p1+ .... + kn*pn)) I have chosen algorithm "port", with lower boundary is 0 for all of the ki parameters, and I have tried many start values for the parameters ki (including generating them at random). If I fit the non linear function to the same data using an external

Dear friends, what is this error message in gam???? I cannot understand what it means .... is it a bug? gam_bray_scot24_pc_0505<gam(bray~s(PC1,PC2,PC3,PC4,PC5, PC1.1,PC2.1,PC3.1,PC4.1,PC5.1),data=dist_scot24_vector_with_climate) Error in if (length(data) != vl) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed Calls: gam ... smooth.construct -> smooth.construct.tp.smooth.spec -> array In

Dear list, I have a strange requirement .... I have a vector, for example v<- c(0,0,0,0,1,2,4,6,8,8,8,8). I have a value,for example x<- 4.8. I would like to understand in which sub interval of v is x. In this case, v would be in the sub interval [4,6] that is in the subinterval starting from element j=7 to the element j+1=8. Can we do that with an R command? Regards -- Corrado Topi

Dear R-friends, How do you test the goodness of prediction of a model, when you predict on a set of data DIFFERENT from the training set? I explain myself: you train your model M (e.g. glm,gam,regression tree, brt) on a set of data A with a response variable Y. You then predict the value of that same response variable Y on a different set of data B (e.g. predict.glm, predict.gam and so on).

Dear friends, I am testing glm as at page 514/515 of THE R BOOK by M.Crawley, that is on proportion data. I use glm(y~x1+,family=binomial) y is a proportion in (0,1), and x is a real number. I get the error: In eval(expr, envir, enclos) : non-integer #successes in a binomial glm! But that is exactly what was suggested in the book, where there is no mention of a similar warning. Where am I

Dear friends, Do you know how to calculate the CONCAVE hull of a set of points (2- dimensional or n-dimensional)? is that possible in R? (With a "smoothing" parameter of course).

Dear friends, I have to use a very large matrix. Something of the sort of matrix(80000,80000,n) .... where n is something numeric of the sort 0.xxxxxx I have not found a way of doing it. I keep getting the error Error in matrix(nrow = 80000, ncol = 80000, 0.2) : too many elements specified Any suggestions? I have searched the mailing list, but to no avail.

Dear R list, I just obtained a negative AIC for two models (-221.7E+4 and -230.2E+4). Is that normal?

Dear R gurus, I have some climatic data for a region of the world. They are monthly averages 1950 -2000 of precipitation (12 months), minimum temperature (12 months), maximum temperature (12 months). I have scaled them to 2 km x 2km cells, and I have around 75,000 cells. I need to feed them into a statistical model as co-variates, to use them to predict a response variable. The climatic

Hi all, Working with S4 object, I definine two class foo1 and foo2. I define '[' (resp. '[<-') for the two classes. Then I define a third class foo3 that inherit from both foo1 and foo2. Is there a way to make '[' (resp. '[<-') for foo3 inherit from '[' (resp. '[<-') for foo1 and foo2? Thanks Christophe

Dear R-experts, I have a question on the formulas used in the gam function of the mgcv package. I am trying to understand the relationships between: y~s(x1)+s(x2)+s(x3)+s(x4) and y~s(x1,x2,x3,x4) Does the latter contain the former? what about the smoothers of all interaction terms? I have (tried to) read the manual pages of gam, formula.gam, smooth.terms, linear.functional.terms but

Hi R users, I try to build a function to compute odds ratio and relative risk however something wrong. I stuck for many hours but I really don't know how to solve it.

Hi List, Does anybody know what function I need to use for a simple regression? Here is the data: I want to find the value for x1=3.5 data<-data.frame(x=c(1:30),Value=c(31:60)) x1<-3.5 Regards, Alireza [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi list, I have a real problem with plotting US state map. When I try to plot the northern state, there will be some blank space in the top of graph (see case 1 example), and when I plot southern states, there will be a blank space in the bottom of plot (see case 2). I spent almost 2 days to figure out a solution, but could not. Would you help me if you know what the problem is? Regards, Alireza

I am trying to plot some data, but have got some difficulties with labels on the tick marks on the x-axes. There are 20 data points. All I want to do is to plot the Loss versus Lines. When I use xyplot, the first tick mark starts from 2 rather than 1, and also there is a NA as the final tick mark. Here is the R code you code give it a try: Would any body be able to fix this, please?

Dear R-lings, I did not know which list to post to, because it is a studentship so not really a job, so it did not fit the r-sig-jobs list .... and it is about devloping an extension package interfaced with R ....
