Dear list members, Where can I find code for computing the p*p variance-covariance matrix given a vector of p variances (ordered varA, varB, ..., varp) and a vector of all possible correlations (ordered corAB, corAC, ..., corp-1,p)? I know that the covariance between 2 variables is equal to the product of their correlation and their standard deviations: corAB * varA^.5 * varB^.5 and so:

Dear list, I would like to plot points with two types of labels, one at the data point (the name of the point) and another offset a bit with another factor which is either of the two greek characters alpha or beta. I have tried to get the routine to plot a greek character with expression() or with substitute() and have not yet had any success. The following only plots the word in english in

Dear R users, I'm using the function coxme of the package coxme in order to build Cox models with complex random effects. Unfortunately, I sometimes get surprising estimations of the variances of the random effects. I ran models with different fixed covariates but always with the same 3 random effects defined by the argument varlist=coxmeMlist(list(mat1,mat2,mat3), rescale = F, pdcheck = F,

I am having a problem with the package SSPIR. The code below illustrates it. I keep getting the message: "Error in y - f : non-conformable arrays." I tried to tweak the code below in many different ways, for example, substituting rbind for cbind, and sometimes I get a different error message, but I could not find a variation of this code that would work. Any help will be greatly

dear R experts: ?I am writing my own little newey-west standard error function, with heteroskedasticity and arbitrary x period autocorrelation corrections. ?including my function in this post here may help others searching for something similar. it is working quite well, except on occasion, it complains that Error in solve.default(crossprod(x.na.omitted, x.na.omitted)) : system is

thank you, achim. I will try chol2inv. sandwich is a very nice package, but let me make some short suggestions. I am not a good econometrician, so I do not know what prewhitening is, and the vignette did not explain it. "?coeftest" did not work after I loaded the library. automatic bandwidth selection can be a good thing, but is not always. as to my own little function, I like the

Dear R-Users, I'm using SSPIR package for a spatio-temporal application. Is it possible to modify the structure of the involved matrixes (Fmat, Gmat, Vmat,Wmat)? I want to create a model like this #y(t)=k*theta(t)+epsilon(t) #theta(t)=h*theta(t-1)+eta(t) #epsilon(t) N(0,V) V=sigma2*I #eta(t) N(0,W) W=sigma2_eta where the state variable theta has dimension 1(p=1) and at

Hi everyone- I have a dataset with multiple "pre" and "post" variables I want to compare. The variables are named "apple_pre" or "pre_banana" with the corresponding post variables named "apple_post" or "post_banana". The variables are in no particular order. apple_pre orange_pre orange_post pre_banana apple_post post_banana person_1

Hola, creo tener un problema por que me suscribí a la lista hace varios días y nunca he recibido mensajes.... puede ser???? Como debería hacer para solucionarlo?? saludos Germán Lic.

Hello, I apologize for such a basic question, but I have been trying to do this in multiple packages without much success. I am trying to set up a state space model for Kalman filtering. I am using package dlm. The DLM is specified by: observation: y(t) = F(t)*theta(t) + v(t) state: theta(t) = G(t)*theta(t-1) + w(t) I have no problem setting up a simple example where F is constant. I am

This problem is likely to be specific to Windows, and particularly Win7. After a successful build of a package (R CMD build addendum), I immediately run an R CMD check for the same package. Not always, but _very_ often, I get the following error: C:\Users\nisabbe\Documents\@Doctoraat\R>R CMD check addendum Loading required package: tcltk Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done Loading

Hello list. This is from an R session (admittedly, I''m still using R 2.11.1): > print function (x, ...) UseMethod("print") <environment: namespace:base> > showMethods("print") Function "print": <not a generic function> Don''t the two results contradict each other? Or do I have a terrible misunderstanding of what

Hello list. Another 'puzzle' for which I don't have a clean solution. Say I have a multidimensional object, e.g.: Mm<-matrix(1:6, nrow=2, dimnames=list(c("a","b"), c("g","h","i"))) And on the other hand I have a list Ind<-list("b","g") This holds, for each dimension, an indexer for that dimension. Now I would

Dear list, I''ve had this a few times now, and wonder if this is possible: I''m using a package, often for plotting something, but I want to tune the way the plotting goes, in a way that was not foreseen by the maker of the package. Now, most of the time, these kinds of R functions (say pkg::plot.something) call into other R functions (say pkg::plot.something.internal), and

Hello all. I'm developing a package for R holding a Gibbs sampler, which tends to have better performance when written in C than in R. During each iteration in the Gibbs sampler, I need the inverse of a symmetric matrix. For this, I wish to use lapack, as is concisely suggested in "Writing R extensions", since this will have better performance than I could ever write myself. After

Hi there, Could someone help me with the following programming problem..? I have written a function that works for my intended purpose, but it is quite closely tied to a particular dataframe and the names of the variables in this dataframe. However, I'd like to use the same function for different dataframes and variables. My problem is that I'm not quite sure how to tell my function in

Hi all, I've got object *cumsumtab, *where the first row (1,2,3,4,5,6,8,13,14,17,40) are names (actually, categories), and the second row has numeric values. > cumsumtab 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 13 14 17 40 2 4 6 7 9 11 13 14 15 16 17 I'm trying to find a way of finding to which category ( in *names(cumsumtab) * ) belongs a given value (let's say Q1 <- 4.25). So far, I've

Hello list. I was trying to see some of the code for plot.glmnet in package glmnet (this function name is in the documentation). After loading the library, I tried the obvious typing in the name, but I received a message telling me it could not be found. So I fiddled around a little, and noticed that R does not recognize ''plot'' as a generic function, and as such,

Hi R people. I ran into this problem: I created a plot with errbars, like this: > errbar(x=c(1,2,3,4), y=c(2,1,3,3), yminus=c(1.5,0.5,2.5,2.5), yplus=c(2.5,1.5,3.5,3.5)) Next, I wanted to accentuate some x value with an abline, like this: > abline(v=2) In one of my R sessions (which admittedly I have had open for quite a while now), the abline draws outside of the plotting region

Hi All. I often find myself in this situation: . Based on some vector (or list) of values, I need to calculate a few new values for each of them, where some of the new values are numbers, but some are more of descriptive nature (so: character strings) . So I use e.g. sapply, passing a custom function that returns a list with all the calculated values . The result of
