Hello, i have the following data: x=c(0,0.02,0.03,0.04,0.05,0.06,0.07,0.08,0.09,0.1,0.11,0.12,0.13,0.14,0.15,0.16,0.17,0.18,0.19,0.2,0.21,0.22,0.23,0.25,0.26,0.27,0.46,0.47,0.48,0.49) y=c(0.48,0.46,0.41,0.36,0.32,0.35,0.48,0.47,0.55,0.56,0.54,0.67,0.61,0.60,0.54,0.51,0.45,0.42,0.44,0.46,0.41,0.43,0.43,0.48,0.48,0.47,0.39,0.37,0.32,0.29) and tried to get piecewise linear regression.

Rers: I installed R 2.9.0 from the Debian package manager on our amd64 system that currently has 6GB of RAM -- my first question is whether this installation is a true 64-bit installation (should R have access to > 4GB of RAM?) I suspect so, because I was running an rqss() (package quantreg, installed via install.packages() -- I noticed it required a compilation of the source) and

R-ers: I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on how to implement a GAM in a quantile fashion? I'm trying to derive a model of a "hull" of points which are likely to require higher-order polynomial fitting (e.g. splines)-- would quantreg be sufficient, if the response and predictors are all continuous? Thanks! --j

I'm having difficulty with an environmental issue: I have an additive model fitting function with a typical call that looks like this: require(quantreg) n <- 100 x <- runif(n,0,10) y <- sin(x) + rnorm(n)/5 d <- data.frame(x,y) lam <- 2 f <- rqss(y ~ qss(x, lambda = lam), data = d) this is fine when invoked as is; x and y are found in d, and lam is found the

Dear All, I'm trying to construct confidence interval for an additive quantile regression model. In the quantreg package, vignettes section: Additive Models for Conditional Quantiles http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/quantreg/index.html It describes how to construct the intervals, it gives the covariance matrix for the full set of parameters, \theta is given by the sandwich formula

Hi, I have used package quantreg to estimate a non-linear fit to the lowest part of my data points. It works great, by the way. But I'd like to extract the predicted values. The help for predict.qss1 indicates this: predict.qss1(object, newdata, ...) and states that newdata is a data frame describing the observations at which prediction is to be made. I used the same technique I used

Hi, I need to fit a piecewise linear regression. x = c(6.25,6.25,12.50,12.50,18.75,25.00,25.00,25.00,31.25,31.25,37.50,37.50,50.00,50.00,62.50,62.50,75.00,75.00,75.00,100.00,100.00) y = c(0.328,0.395,0.321,0.239,0.282,0.230,0.273,0.347,0.211,0.210,0.259,0.186,0.301,0.270,0.252,0.247,0.277,0.229,0.225,0.168,0.202) there are two change points. so the fitted curve should look like \ \ /\

loess() should be able to do robust 2D smoothing. There's no natural ordering in 2D, so defining running medians can be tricky. I seem to recall Prof. Koenker talked about some robust 2D smoothing method at useR! 2004, but can't remember if it's available in some packages.

Dear all, My machine is SUN Java Workstation 2100 with 2 AMD Opteron CPUs and 16GB RAM. R is compiled as 64bit by using SUN compilers. I trying to fit quantile smoothing on my data and I got an message as below. > fit1<-rqss(z1~qss(cbind(x,y),lambda=la1),tau=t1) Error in as.matrix.csr(diag(n)) : cannot allocate memory block of size 2496135168 The lengths of vector x and y are

Dear R-community, maybe someone can help me with this: I've been using the loess() smoother for quite a while now, and for the matter of documentation I'd like to resolve the acronym LOESS. Unfortunately there's no explanation in the help file, and I didn't get anything convincing from google either. I know that the predecessor LOWESS stands for "Locally Weighted

Hello all, I would like to compute a quantile regression using rq (from the quantreg package), while keeping one of the coefficients fixed. Is it possible to set an offset for rq in quantreg?

Hi, I am trying to add a function in a linear quantile regresion to find a breakpoint. The function I want to add is: y=(k+ax)(x&lt;B)+(k+(a-d)B+dx)(x&gt;B) How do I write it in the rq() function? Do I need to define the parameters in any way and how do I do that? I'm a biologist new to R. Thanks! -- View this message in context:

Thierry, I have this: if (require(MatrixModels) && require(Matrix)) { X <- model.Matrix(Terms, m, contrasts, sparse = TRUE) in my function rqss() I've tried variants of requireNamespace too without success. If I understand properly model.Matrix is from MatrixModels but it calls sparse.model.matrix which is part of Matrix, and it is the latter function that I'm not

Hi there, I'm using the lattice package to create an xy plot of abundance vs. depth for 5 stages of barnacle larvae from 5 species. Each panel of the plot represents a different stage, while different loess smoothers within each panel should represent different species. However, I would like depth to be on the y-axis and abundance to be on the x-axis, because this is more intuitive as an

Hi Every Body, I don't know why some regression functions have no related prediction function. For example lowess, loess, lokerns, lpridge, lpepa, and ksmooth. What could help? Is there any global or wrapper function so that can help? Regards, Amir Safari --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello dear R help members, I wish to get a nice LaTeX table for a rq object. Trying to use the functions I found so far wouldn't work. I can start opening the functions up, but I am wondering if I had missed some function which is the one I should be using. Here is an example session for a bunch of possible errors: (Thanks) data(stackloss) y <- stack.loss x <- stack.x rq_object

Hello, I am wondering if there is an easy way to combine loess() with glm() to produce a locally fitted generalised regression. I have a data set of about 5,000 observations and 5 explanatory variables, with a binary outcome. One of the explanatory variables (lets call it X) is much more predictive than the others. A single glm() regression over the entire data set produces rather poor results,

Hello, R users, I applied segmented regression method contributed by Muggeo and got different slope estimates depending on the initial break points. The results are listed below and I'd like to know what is a reasonable approach handling this kinds of problem. I think applying various initial break points is certainly not a efficient approach. Is there any other methods to deal with segmented

I'm updating the loess routines to allow for, among other things, arbitrary local polynomial degree and number of predictors. For now, I've given the updated package its own namespace. The trouble is, panel.loess still calls the original code in package:stats instead of the new loess package, regardless of whether package:loess or package:lattice comes first in the search list. If I

I'd like to mention that there is a new quantile regression package "nprq" on CRAN for additive nonparametric quantile regression estimation. Models are structured similarly to the gss package of Gu and the mgcv package of Wood. Formulae like y ~ qss(z1) + qss(z2) + X are interpreted as a partially linear model in the covariates of X, with nonparametric components defined as
