fitting a lognormal distribution using cumulative probabilities
Dear all, I'm trying to estimate the parameters of a lognormal distribution fitted from some data. The tricky thing is that my data represent the time at which I recorded certain events. However, in many cases I don't really know when the event happened. I' only know the time at which I recorded it as already happened. Therefore I want to fit the lognormal from the cumulative

AIC, glm, lognormal distribution
I'm attempting to do model selection with AIC, using a glm and a lognormal distribution, but: fit1<-glm(BA~Year,data=pdat.sp1.65.04, family=gaussian(link="log")) ## gives the same result as either of the following: fit1<-glm(BA~Year,data=pdat.sp1.65.04, family=gaussian) fit1<-lm(BA~Year,data=pdat.sp1.65.04) fit1 #Coefficients: #(Intercept) Year2004 # -1.6341

Fitting of lognormal distribution to lower tail experimental data
Hi, I am beginner with R and need firm guidance with my problem. I have seen some other threads discussing the subject of right censored data, but I am not sure whether or not this problem can be regarded as such. Data: I have a vector with laboratory test data (strength of wood specimens, example attached as txt-file). This data is the full sample. It is a common view that this kind of data

Lognormal distribution
I am trying to fit a lognormal distribution to a set of data and test its goodness of fit with regard to predicted values. I managed to get so far: > y <- c(2,6,2,3,6,7,6,10,11,6,12,9,15,11,15,8,9,12,6,5) > library(MASS) > fitdistr(y,"lognormal",start=list(meanlog=0.1,sdlog=0.1)) meanlog sdlog 1.94810515 0.57091032 (0.12765945) (0.09034437) But I would

Mean of lognormal in base-2
Hi, Does anyone know what the mean value of a lognormal distribution in base-2 is? I am simulating stochastic population growth and if I were working in base-e, I would do:lambda <- 1.1 #multiplicative growth rates <- 0.6 #stochasticity (std. dev)lognormal <- rlnorm(100000, log(lambda) - (s^2)/2, s)## or lognormal <- exp( rnorm( 100000, log(lambda) - (s^2)/2,

AIC for lognormal model
Dear all, I want to compare some different models for a dataset by QQ plots and AIC. I get the following AICs: - linear model: 19759.66 - GAMLSS model: 18702.7 - linear model with lognormal response: -7862.182 The QQ plots show that the lognormal model fits better than the linear model, but still much worse than the GAMLSS. So, in my opinion, the AIC of the lognormal model should be between the

generating lognormal variables with given correlation
Dear R users I use simulated data to evaluate a model by sampling the parameters in my model from lognormal distributions. I would like these (lognormal distributed) parameters to be correlated, that is, I would like to have pairwise samples of 2 parameters with a given correlation coefficient. I have seen that a covariance matrix can be fixed when generating random variables from a

How to obtain parameters of a mixture model of two lognormal distributions
Dear List, I have read that a lognormal mixture model having a pdf of the form f(x)=w1*f1(x)+(1-w1)*f2(x) fits most data sets quite well, where f1 and f2 are lognormal distributions. Any pointers on how to create a function that would produce the 5 parameters of f(x) would be greatly appreciated. > version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386 os

Gamma & Lognormal Model
Dear, I'm very new to R Gui and I have to make an assignment on Gamma Regressions. Surfing on the web doesn't help me very much so i hope this forum may be a step forward. The question sounds as follows: The data set is in the library MASS first install library(MASS) then type data(mammals) attach(mammals) Assignment: Fit the gamma model and lognormal model for the mammals data.

How to generate the random numbers with the lognormal distribution?
Hi,R-list! I am a newbie to the R and what I want to know mostly now is as follow: Using "rnorm()",we could get the random numbers with normal distribution, but how to generate the random numbers with the lognormal distribution?

Poisson Lognormal
Hi R Users, I'm going to estimate via. ML the parameters in Poisson Lognormal model. The model is: x | lambda ~ Poisson(lambda) lambda ~ Lognormal(a,b) Unfortunately, I haven't found a useful package allowing for such estimation. I tried to use "poilog" package, but there is no equations and it's hard to understand what exactly this package really does. Using it I get the

low sigma in lognormal fit of gamlss
Hi, I'm playing around with gamlss and don't entirely understand the sigma result from an attempted lognormal fit. In the example below, I've created lognormal data with mu=10 and sigma=2. When I try a gamlss fit, I get an estimated mu=9.947 and sigma=0.69 The mu estimate seems in the ballpark, but sigma is very low. I get similar results on repeated trials and with Normal and

Fitting weibull, exponential and lognormal distributions to left-truncated data.
Dear All, I have two questions regarding distribution fitting. I have several datasets, all left-truncated at x=1, that I am attempting to fit distributions to (lognormal, weibull and exponential). I had been using fitdistr in the MASS package as follows: fitdistr<-(x,"weibull") However, this does not take into consideration the truncation at x=1. I read another posting in this

Kolmogorov-Smirnof test for lognormal distribution with estimated parameters
Hello all, Would somebody be kind enough to show me how to do a KS test in R for a lognormal distribution with ESTIMATED parameters. The R function ks.test()says "the parameters specified must be prespecified and not estimated from the data" Is there a way to correct this when one uses estimated data?

comparing lm(), survreg( ... , dist="gaussian") and survreg( ... , dist="lognormal")
Dear R-Helpers: I have tried everything I can think of and hope not to appear too foolish when my error is pointed out to me. I have some real data (18 points) that look linear on a log-log plot so I used them for a comparison of lm() and survreg. There are no suspensions. survreg.df <- data.frame(Cycles=c(2009000, 577000, 145000, 376000, 37000, 979000, 17420000, 71065000, 46397000,

plotting the lognormal density curve
I am trying to plot a lognormal density curve on top of an existing histogram. Can anybody suggest a simple way to do this? Even if someone could just explain how to plot a regular normal density curve on top of an existing histogram, it would be a big help. Also, is there some way to search through the R-help archives other than simple browsing? Thank you so much. Your help and time is greatly

test for exponential,lognormal and gammadistribution
hello! i don't want to test my sample data for normality, but exponential- lognormal- or gammadistribution. as i've learnt the anderson-darling-test in R is only for normality and i am not supposed to use the kolmogorov-smirnov test of R for parameter estimates from sample data, is that true? can you help me, how to do this anyway! thank you very much! nadja
