similar to: mle from stats4

Say I have a formula Y ~ 1 + X, where X is a categorical variable. A previous thread showed how to evaluate this model using the mle package from "stats4" (see below). But, the user had to create the data matrix, X, including the column of one's for the regression constant. Is there a way to nest the linear formula in the code below, so the data matrix doesn't explicitly

Hi everyone! I am using the mle {stats4} to estimate the parameters of distributions by MLE method. I have a problem with the examples they provided with the mle{stats4} html files. Please check the example and my question below! *Here is the mle html help file * http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/stats4/html/mle.html http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/stats4/html/mle.html

Hi! This is a repost of an earlier message (with a clearer example demonstrating the problem I ran into). If you run the mle example in stats4 library(stats4) x <- 0:10 y <- c(26, 17, 13, 12, 20, 5, 9, 8, 5, 4, 8) ll <- function(ymax=15, xhalf=6) -sum(stats::dpois(y, lambda=ymax/(1+x/xhalf), log=TRUE)) (fit <- mle(ll)) plot(profile(fit),

Hi I have the following formula (I hope it is clear - if no, I can try to do better the next time) h(x, a, b) = integral(0 to pi/2) ( ( integral(D/sin(alpha) to Inf) ( ( f(x, a, b) ) dx ) dalpha ) and I want to do an mle with it. I know how to use mle() and I also know about integrate(). My problem is to give the parameter values a and b to the

With the exception of "L-BFGS-B", all of the other optim() methods return the value of the function when they are given a trivial function (i.e., one with no variable arguments) to optimize. I don't think this is a "bug" in L-BFGS-B (more like a response to an undefined condition), but it leads to a bug in stats4::mle -- a spurious error saying that a better fit has been

Dear All, There are two things about mle() that I wasn't so sure. 1) can mle() handle vector based parameter? say ll<-function(theta=rep(1,20)){..............} I tried such function, it worked for "optim" but not for "mle". 2) is there a general suggestion for the maximum number of parameters allowed to use in mle() or optim()? Thank you. Regards, MJO

I sent this in first on 30 July. Now that UseR! is over I'm trying again (slightly extended version from last time). With R 2.5.1 or R 2.6.0 (2007-08-04 r42421) "L-BFGS-B" behaves differently from all of the other optim() methods, which return the value of the function when they are given a trivial function (i.e., one with no variable arguments) to optimize. This is not a bug in

All - I am evaluating an arima(2,1,3) and arima(3,1,3) and notice the log-likelihood of the restricted model is higher than the log-likelihood of the unrestricted. Since these are nested models, I thought the unrestricted model would have a log-likelihood at least as large as that of the restricted model. Am I interpreting the "loglik" output incorrectly? Regards, Stephen

In the following code, the only difference between the two plots is the order the variables are plotted. In this case, the plot of "cdata.den" in plot #1 is different from its plot in #2. Specifically, "cdata.den" spans the x-axis from -5 to 30 in plot #1 and from 0 to 20 in plot #2. Does anyone understand why these two plots do not yield the same result? #Make density

Since for many people slots are new, the first thing that happens is you try to access what's in them and can't find how to do it. If you don't know that slotNames() exists, it can be very frustrating. Moreover, if you

I am simulating sickness among a group of families. Part of the task is to randomly draw who in the family will be sick, randomly drawing from family ID's where Dad =1, Mom = 2, Kid1 = 3, Kid2 = 4., etc. My census of Dads is of the form shown below. Dad_ID Spouse (Y=1;N=0) #Kids #People_Becoming_Sick 1 1 0 1 2

Hi, There is something I don't get with object of class "mle" returned by a function I wrote. More precisely it's about the behaviour of method "confint" and "profile" applied to these object. I've written a short function (see below) whose arguments are: 1) A univariate sample (arising from a gamma, log-normal or whatever). 2) A character string

I currently run simulations on an IBM x31 Thinkpad (laptop), with an Intel Pentium M, 1.3GHz processor. I am planning to buy a desktop to help speed up my work, but I am wondering if R is compatible with some of the newer technology that has come to market (i.e., Intel Core 2 Duo, Quad Core processors, 64-bit operating systems). Does anyone know the threshold or limit on R's

Hi, I wantto use 'mle' function in R on linux. As I see its been integrated into the stats4 package. Am I correct ? If yes, Can anyone suggest how to install the stats4 package to be able to run 'mle' function in R on linux ? Otherwise how to sort out this problem ?

Dear developers, the implementation of S4 generics for existing S3 ones in the base package is concerned to be a threat to quick startup times [1]. But since S4 is promoted, and S3/S4 interoperability a pain when package developing [2], are there efforts to improve the situation? E.g. an S3 free system, etc. A good thing [2] is the package 'stats4', including some setGeneric calls (e.g.

hello, Can you please give me a hand with this problem,well i can't install these packages: - stats - methods - stats4 when i tried the following command : *library(help = "stats") * , it gave me this output (*see picture*), so i contacted the Maintainer of the package at (*R-core at r-project.org <R-core at r-project.org>*) but he said that i write to the wrong place. (i

I have a data with 236 observations. After plotting the histogram, I found that it looks like non-central t distribution. I would like to get MLE for mu and df. I found an example to find MLE for gamma distribution from "fitting distributions with R": library(stats4) ## loading package stats4 ll<-function(lambda,alfa) {n<-200 x<-x.gam

Hi, We're using stats4 for a logistic regression. The code is chdreg.logit2 <- glm(chd ~ age + sex, family = binomial) summary(chdreg.logit2) oddsratios <- coef(chdreg.logit2) exp(oddsratios) # Calculate model predicted values pred <- predict(chdreg.logit2,type="response") The glm part runs fine, and up to now so has the predict function. However, now we're
