This is my first post requesting help to this mailing list. I am new to R. My apologies for any breach in posting etiquette. I am new to this language and just learning my way around. I am attempting to run some sample code and and am confused by the error message: Loading required package: rrcov Error in fitNorm2(fdat[, "FSC-H"], fdat[, "SSC-H"], scalefac = ScaleFactor) :

Hello all!!! 1) I am wondering is there a way to generate random numbers in R for Bivariate Uniform distribution? 2) Does R have  built-in function for generating random numbers for any given bivariate distribution. Any help would be greatly appreciated !! Good day! Haneef Anver [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi: I am using the package "KernSmooth" to do the local polynomial regression. However, it seems the function "locpoly" can only deal with univariate covaraite. I wonder is there any kernel smoothing package in R can deal with bivariate covariates? I also checked the package "lcofit" in which function "lcofit" can indeed deal with bivariate case. The

Dear list members I need a function that calculates the bivariate normal distribution for each observation. It is part of a likelihood function and I have 1000's of cases. As I understand it I cannot use packages like "mvtnorm" because it requres a covariance matrix of the same dimension as the number of observations. Basically what I need is a function that takes as arguments a

Any one know is there any package or function to generate bivariate exponential distribution? I gusee there should be three parameters, two rate parameters and one correlation parameter. I just did not find any function available on R. Any suggestion is appreciated. -- View this message in context:

Dear list I have a vector of values that allegedly have a bivariate normal distribution. I want to create a plot that shows the values I have obtained, and the bivariate normal distribution curve for the data. Is there a way of doing this in R? Many thanks for your help, Sarah. --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all, I have a bivariate dataset from a preliminary study. I want to do two things: (1) estimate the probability density of this bivariate distribution using some nonparametric method (kernel, spline etc); (2) sample a big dataset from this bivariate distribution for a simulation study. Is there any good method or package I can use in R for my work? I don?t want parametric models like

x <- iris$Sepal.Length[1:50]/iris$Sepal.Width[1:50] y <- iris$Petal.Length[1:50]/iris$Petal.Width[1:50] I want to check whether (x,y) follows a bivariate normal distribution or not, using density plot or scatter plot. Is it possible to plot a bivariate density in R. I cant find any. Arindam Fadikar M.Stat Indian Statistical Institute. New Delhi, India [[alternative HTML version

Hi, I woul like to know if it is possible to have a "R code" to generate EM Algorithm for a normal bivariate mixture. Best regard, S.F.

Hi.., is there a function in R to fit bivariate splines ? I came across 'polymars' (POLSPLINE) and 'mars' (mda) packages. Are these the one to use or are there other specific commands? Thanks. Harsh

Hi, I'm dealing with wind data and I'd like to model their distribution in order to simulate data to fill-in missing values. Wind direction are typically following a vonmises distribution and wind speeds follow a weibull distribution. I'd like to build a joint distribution of directions and speeds as a VonMises-Weibull bivariate distribution. First is this a stupid question? I'm

Hello, I'm quite new with R and so I would like to know if there is a command to calculate an integral. In particular I simulated a bivariate normal distribution using these simple lines: rbivnorm <- function(n, # sample size mux, # expected value of x muy, # expected value of Y sigmax, # standard deviation of

Is there code for bivariate kernel density estimation? For bivariate kernels there is kde2d in MASS kde2d.g in GRASS KernSur in GenKern (list probably incomplete) but none of them seems to accept a weight parameter (like density does since R 2.2.0) -- Erich Neuwirth, University of Vienna Faculty of Computer Science Computer Supported Didactics Working Group Visit our SunSITE at

Respected R Users, I looking for help with generating theoretical confidence regions for any of non-symmetric bivariate statistical distributions (bivariate Chi-squared distribution<Wishart distribution>, bivariate F-distribution, or any of the others). I want to to used it as a benchmark to compare a few strategies constructing confidence regions for non-symmetric bivariate data. There is

Package mvtnorm provides dmvnorm, pmvnorm that can be used to compute Pr(X=x,Y=y) and Pr(X<x,Y<y) for a bivariate normal. Are there functions that would compute Pr(X<x,Y=y)? I'm currently using "integrate" with dmvnorm but it is too slow.

Greetings, I'm interested in generating data from various bivariate or mulitivariate distributions (e.g. gamma, t, etc), where I can specify the parameter values, including the correlations among the variables. I haven't been able to dig anything up on the faq, but I probably missed something. A nudge in the right direction would be appreciated. David --

dear all, Given a matrix A, say, I would like to apply a bivariate function to each combination of its colums. That is if myfun<-function(x,y)cor(x,y) #computes simple correlation of two vectors x and y then the results should be something similar to cor(A). I tried with mapply, outer,...but without success Can anybody help me? many thanks in advance, vito

Dear all R gurus, My question is related to statistics rather directly to R. Suppose (X,Y) has a bivariate normal distrubution. I want to find two values of X and Y say x, and y respectively, such that: P[X<x, Y<y] = 0.05 My questions are : 1. Can x and y be uniquely found? 2. If it is, how I can find them using R Your help will be highly appreciated. Thanks and regards,

Hello, I have used the univariate Ripley K function in R, but does anyone know if there is a bivariate function built in? I have two species that I am dealing with. Also, how might I add error bars into the graphs (univariate and/or bivariate)?

Hi, there. Does anyone know the R function for calculating the cdf of bivariate normal distribution function? Thanks. Yulei [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
