Hey, R users I do not know how to describe my question. I am a new user for R and write the following?code for a dynamic labor economics?model and use OPTIM to get optimizations and parameter values. the following code does not work due to the?equation: ?? wden[,i]<-dnorm((1-regw[,i])/w[5])/w[5] where w[5]?is one of the parameters (together with vector a, b and other elements in vector

Hi, I have four controllers: one for the store front and three for the store admin. In each controller I have copied and pasted exactly the same code. It is a method called redirect_to() to override Action Controller''s redirect_to(). Copy and paste is bad. I can think of two options but I don''t know how Rails will feel about them. Option 1: Can I create an intermediate

I have had this happen to me once: Encoding of a .wav file was interrupted somehow, so an incomplete .flac flie was generated. I accidentally ran a decode on that .flac file, which wiped out the original .wav file. I suggest that flac adopt one of the following to handle the situation that an output file is specified with -o or implied, and the output file already exists: 1. rename the

Hi, everyone: I ask for help about translating a stata program into R. The program perform cross validation as it stated. #1. Randomly divide the data set into 10 sets of equal size, ensuring equal numbers of events in each set #2. Fit the model leaving out the 1st set #3. Apply the fitted model in (2) to the 1st set to obtain the predicted probability of a prostate cancer diagnosis. #4. Repeat

Dear R Users on a self-written function for calculating maximum likelihood probability (plz check function code at the bottom of this message), one value, wden, suddenly jump to zero. detail info as following: w[11]=2.14 lnw =2.37 2.90 3.76 ... regw =1.96 1.77 1.82 .... wden=0.182 0.178 0.179... w[11]=2.14 lnw=2.37 2.90 3.76 ... regw =1.96 1.77 1.82 .... wden=0.182

Hello, I am working with zero inflated models for a current project and I am getting wildly different results from R's zeroinfl(y ~ x, dist="negbin") command and Stata's zinb command. Does anyone know why this may be? I find it odd considering that zeroinfl(y ~ x, dist="poisson") gives identical to output to Stata's zip function. Thanks, --david [[alternative

I'm trying to replicate a time-series cross-sectional analysis (countries over years) with SEs clustered by country. ?The original analysis was done in Stata 10 with: xtreg [DV] [IVs] fe cluster(country). Using plm() in R (cran.r-project.org/web/packages/plm/index.html), I've replicated the coefficients. I sought to estimate country-clustered SEs with vcovHC(), and tried a variety of

Dear Sir/Madam, I converted the .dta into .Rdata with the foreign library read.dta. However, when I use fix() I get the message that the dates are discarded. Before fix(), class(dateX) gives 'dates' as class; after fix() class(dateX) gives 'character' Why is that? Best regards, Rob Bakker [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I am trying to do some data cleaning in R. I need to drop observations that take on certain values of a variable. In STATA I might type something like: drop if <variable name> == 3 drop if <variable name> == 4 Is there an R equivalent of this? I have tried playing around with the subset command, but it seems a bit clunky. What would an advanced R user's approach be for

Hi everyone, apologies if the answer to this is in an obvious place. I've been searching for about a day and haven't found anything.. I'm trying to replicate Stata's confidence intervals in R with the survey package, and the numbers are very very close but not exact. My ultimate goal is to replicate Berkeley's SDA website with R (http://sda.berkeley.edu/), which seems to

Hello Rers: Let's say I have a column that looks like this: Column 167.8 292.8 363.3 1.9 115.25 I want to manipulate the above data such that I only end up with this same column but only with its decimals and not its whole numbers. So the new column would look like this (but the real column is VERY long): Column .8 .8 .3 .9 .25 Any suggestions about how I could do this? -- Do all you

Hi All, This is surely an easy question but somehow I am not being able to get it. I am using R 2.13.2 and have a data set where variable names like this appear: pci1990, pci1991, ... , pci2009. "pci1990" has data on per capita income for 1990, "pci1991" has data on per capita income for 1991, and so on. I would like to create the logarithm of per capita for each of the

Dear list, I am trying to replicate an econometrics study that was orginally done in Stata. (Blanton and Blanton. 2009. A Sectoral Analysis of Human Rights and FDI: Does Industry Type Matter?

The model I try to replicate is in Stata given as xtpcse total_FDI lag_total ciri human_cap worker_rts polity_4 market income econ_growth log_trade

I am struggling with migrating some stata code to R. I have a data frame containing, sometimes, repeat observations (rows) of the same family. I want to keep only one observation per family, selecting that observation according to some other variable. An example data frame is: # construct example data fam <- c(1,2,3,3,4,4,4) wt <- c(1,1,0.6,0.4,0.4,0.4,0.2) keep <- c(1,1,1,0,1,0,0)

Dear R users, I am encoutering the following problem: I have a dataset with a 'unique_id' and different 'visit_date' (formatted as.Date, "%d/%m/%Y") per unique_id.
