Hello Prof. Harrell and dear R-help mailing list, I wish to perform a non-parametric repeated measures anova. If what I read online is true, this could be achieved using a mixed Ordinal Regression model (a.k.a: Proportional Odds Model). I found two packages that seems relevant, but couldn't find any vignette on the subject: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/repolr/

Hi, I am trying to estimate the sample size needed for the comparison of two groups on a certain measurement, given some previous data at hand. I find that the data collected does not follow a normal distribution, so I would like to use a non-parametric option for sample size calculation. I found the pwr package but I don't think it has this option and on the internet found that

I am looking for a mailing list for general statistical questions that are not R related. Do you have any suggestions for lists that are busy and helpful and/or lists that you use and recommend? Thanks in advance, Ralf

In addition to the previous email: What plots would you suggest in addition to density / histogram plots and how can I produce them with R ? Perhaps one of you has an example ? Thanks a lot, Ralf

Hi R Users, I need to produce a simple report consisting of some graphs and a statistic. Here simplification of it: # graphics output test a <- c(1,3,2,1,4) b <- c(2,1,1,1,2) c <- c(4,7,2,4,5) d <- rnorm(500) e <- rnorm(600) op <- par(mfrow=c(3,2)) pie(a) pie(b) pie(c) text(ks.test(d,e)) obviously, the ks.test does not make it to the output. How can this be archived by a)

Some attribute x from 17 individuals was recorded repeatedly on 6 time points using a Likert scale with 7 distractors. Which statistical test(s) can I apply to check whether the changes along the 6 time points were significant? set.seed( 123 ) x <- matrix( sample( 1:7, 17*6, repl=T ), nrow = 17, byrow = TRUE, dimnames = list(1:17, paste( 'T', 1:6, sep='' )) ) I found

Dear all, I am conducting a full factorial analysis. I have one factor consisting in algorithms, which I consider my treatments, and another factor made of the problems I want to solve. For each problem I obtain a response variable which is stochastic. I replicate the measure of this response value 10 times. When I apply ANOVA the assumptions do not hold, hence I must rely on non parametric

Hi, I have just found this forum, and it looks like a great place to get some help (I hope) For my dissertation, which is due way too soon, I am doing a survey, comparing attitudes of 2 independent groups, with 5 scale likert questions. Basically I want to show if they have similar or different attitudes. I am testing 4 hypotheses, and have in total about 20 questions. I have to say my

I just started using R and I'm having all sorts of "fun" trying different things. I'm going to document the different things I'm doing here as a kind of case study. I'm hoping that I'll get help from the community so that I can use R properly. Anyways, in this study, I have demographic data, drug usage data, and side effect data. All of this is loaded into a csv

I would like to plot some text in a existing plot graph. Is there a very simple way to do that. It does not need to be pretty at all (just maybe a way to center it or define a position within the plot). ( ? ) Ralf

I assume R won't easily generate nice reports (unless one starts using Sweave and LaTeX) but perhaps somebody here knows a package that can create report like output for special cases? How can I simply plot output into PDF? Perhaps you know a package I should check out? What do you guys do to create handouts (before actually publishing)? Thanks in advance, Ralf

I am new to R. I'm using the function GAM and wanted to get standard errors and p-values for the parametric terms (I fitted a semi-parametric models). Using the function anova() on the object from GAM, I only get p-values for the nonparametric terms. Does anyone know if and how to get standard errors for the parametric terms? Thanks. Jean G. Orelien

Hello R, I am looking for non-parametric simulation in IRT. Is there any IRT package that does non-parametric simulation? helen L [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi R-fans, I would like put out a question to all R users on this list and hope it will create some feedback and discussion. 1) What are your 3 most useful R package? and 2) What R package do you still miss and why do you think it would make a useful addition? Pulling answers together for these questions will serve as a guide for new users and help people who just want to get a hint where to

Hello, I am interested in parametric multi comparison tests such as Dunnett, Duncan, Tukey, Newman-Keuls, Bonferonni, Scheffe, and non-parametric tests such as Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney U. Are there packages that include most of these tests in each category? Many packages exist for an individual test but their outputs vary in great detail (test statistics, p-values, etc.)

R Friends, I have data from which I would like to learn a more general (smoothened) trend by applying data smoothing methods. Data points follow a positive stepwise function. | x x | xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx | x x |xxxx xxx xxxx | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | |

Can anyone suggest a good non-parametric test, and an R implementation of the test, that allows for two or more factors? Wilcoxon signed rank allows for only one.

Dear all, I am trying to find a suitable R-function for parametric proportional hazard regressions. The package survival contains the coxph() function which performs a Cox regression which leaves the base hazard unspecified, i.e. it is a semi-parametric method. The package Design contains the function pphsm() which is good for parametric proportional hazard regressions when the underlying base

Hi everybody! I'm trying to plot a parametric curve (three dimensions) using R but I didn't obtain good results. Somebody have already done something like that? Please help me!
