similar to: Anova unequal variance

I'am trying to develop some code if R, which would correspond to what I did in SAS. The data look like: Treatment Replicate group1 GSI Control A 1 0.81301 Control B 1 1.06061 Control C 1 1.26350 Control D 1 0.93284 Low A 2 0.79359 Low B

Hi all, right now i am simply comparing means. obviously this can be done by the simple t.test respectively the welch test, if var.equal is set to FALSE. just like this t.test( Y ~ group) t.test( Y ~ group, var.equal = FALSE) now that i need to compare weighted means i am using the lm function as an adjusted t-test: like lmtest <- ( Y ~ group ) anova(lmtest)

Hi all, I understand that gls() uses generalized least squares, but I thought that maybe optimum weights from gls might be used as weights in lm (as shown below), but apparently this is not the case. See: library(nlme) f1 <- gls(Petal.Width ~ Species / Petal.Length, data = iris, weights = varIdent(form = ~ 1 | Species)) aa <- attributes(summary(f1)$modelStruct$varStruct)$weights f2 <-

R 1.6.2 for Windows, Win2k: I have fitted a weighted least squares model using the code "wls.out <- gls(y ~ x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 + x6 - 1, data = foo.frame, weights = varConstPower(form = ~ fitted(.), fixed = list(power = 0.5), const = 1))" The data has 62 rows and the response is zero when the covariates are zero. The purpose of the model was to account for the the fact that

I might be sorry for asking this question :-) I have two equations and I tried to estimate them individually with "lm" and "gls", and then in a system (using systemfit) with "OLS", "WLS" and "SUR". Quite surprisingly (for myself at least) the results are identical to the last digit. Could someone (please!) give a hint as to what am I

I read somewhere that t.test is equivalent to a hypothesis testing for one way ANOVA. But I'm wondering how they are equivalent. In the following code, the p-value by t.test() is not the same from the value in the last command. Could somebody let me know where I am wrong? > set.seed(0) > N1=10 > N2=10 > x=rnorm(N1) > y=rnorm(N2) > t.test(x,y) Welch Two Sample t-test data:

Hi I am trying to run an ANOVA on data with unequal variance. I am new to nlme, but to my understanding I need to use the gls function. I have single response variable (distance which is continuous) and the explanatory variable is individual ID (class variable: individuals differ in the variance in their distance values hence the need to using nlme). So I would create a model

Hi all, I have probably a basic question, but I can't seem to find the answer in the literature or in the R-archives. I would like to do a robust ANCOVA (using either rlm or lmRob of the MASS and robust packages) - my response variable deviates slightly from normal and I have some "outliers". The data consist of 2 factor variables and 3-5 covariates (fdepending on the model).

Dear Douglas and R-help, Does lme assume normal distribution AND equal variance among groups like anova() does? If it does, is there any method like unequal variance T-test (Welch T) in lme when each group has unequal variance in my data? Thanks, Shirley

Dear R users, I'm wondering if the gls function reports pseudo R. I do not see it by summary(). If the package does not report, can I calculate it in this way? Adjusted pseudo R squared = 1 - [(Loglik(beta) - k ) / Loglik(null)] where k is the number of IVs. Thanks! Gary [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I am working on a project about hospital efficiency. Due to the high multicolinearlity of the data, I want to fit the model using ridge regression. However, I believe that the data from large hospital(indicated by the number of patients they treat a year) is more accurate than from small hosptials, and I want to put more weight on them. How do I do this with lm.ridge? I know I just need

Hi, I would like to fit a model for a factorial design that allows for unequal variances in all groups. If I am not mistaken, this can be done in lm by specifying weights. A function intended to specify weights for unequal variance structures is provided in the nlme library with the varIdent function. Is it apropriate to use these weights with lm? If not, is there another possibility to do

Hello- I have run an ANOVA on 4 treatments with unequal sample sizes (n=9,7,10 and 10). I want to determine where my sig. differences are between treatments using a Bonferroni test, and have run the code: pairwise.t.test(Wk16, Treatment, p.adf="bonf") I receive an error message stating that my arguments are of unequal length: Error in tapply(x, g, mean, na.rm = TRUE) :

Hello, I have some patient data for my masters thesis with three groups (n=16, 19 & 20) I have completed compiling the results of 7 tests, for which one of these tests the variances are unequal. I wish to perform an ANOVA between the three groups but for the one test with unequal variance (<0.001 by both bartlett and levene's test) I am not sure what to do. I thought i would run

Hello, I?ve tried several times to learn R, but have never gotten past a particular gate. My data are organized by column in Excel, with column headers in the first row. The columns are of unequal lengths. I export them as CSV, then import the CSV file into R. I wish to summarize the data by column. R inserts NA for missing values, then refuses to operate on columns with NA. R is importing

Hi, I am doing multiple regression, and have several X variables that are categorical. I read that I can use dummy or contrast codes for that, but are there any special rules when there're unequal #observations in each groups (4 females vs 7 males in a "gender" variable)? Also, can R generate these codes for me? THanks.

Hi, How can I read data of unequal number of observations (rows) as is (i.e. without introducing NA for columns of less observations than the maximum. Example: A B C D 1 10 1 12 2 10 3 12 3 10 4 12 4 10 5 10 Thanks in advance. Sachin --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Has anyone created or rebuilt a Linux Software RAID having mirrored partitions on unequal sized hard disks ? There is a CentOS 5 server having two 400 GB hard disks with five mirrored partitions (software RAID 1) and one of the hard disks is dying. Since new 400 GB HDDs are not available here, we are exploring the possibility of replacing the faulty hard disk with one of a higher capacity (500 GB

I am using levelplot() from lattice with grids that have unequal cell sizes. This means that the boundary between two cells is not always half-way between nodes, as levelplot() assumes. The result is that some cell sizes are rendered incorrectly, which can be painfully obvious if using relatively large cells. Is there any work-around? I am using the conditioning capability of lattice and
