Dear all, Ive just started with R and I have question: how can you change a time from a ts object .i.e 2009.004 to "2009-01-01"? Is there any function for this? I tried around with as.Date... but it hasnt worked. Thank you beforehand. Chuse. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R collegues, I am trying to change a ts time such as 2009.004 to a str or POSIX class as "2009-01-01". Is there any function or method to do it?. Thank you beforehand. Chuse.

Hi all, why factorial(150) shows the error out of range in 'gammafn'? I have to calculate the number of subset formed by 150 samples taking 10 at a time. How is this possible? best [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi - I ran into a problem when the argument to gamma function is large. Says, if I do the following: > gamma(17000) [1] Inf Warning message: value out of range in 'gammafn' Is there anyway to get around this or other implementation? Thank you. -rc

Dear users, I tried to fit an AR(2) model to data. This the result: > arima(vw,c(3,0,0)) Call: arima(x = vw, order = c(3, 0, 0)) Coefficients: ar1 ar2 ar3 intercept 0.1052 -0.0102 -0.1203 0.0099 s.e. 0.0337 0.0339 0.0338 0.0018 sigma^2 estimated as 0.002934: log likelihood = 1293.16, aic = -2576.33 Now, ar2 is not significantly different from

I would like to call C routines from Fortran under linux as suggested in section 5.6 of the "Writing R extensions" documentation. I'm familiar with Fortran but not with C. I understand the example provided in Fortran: subroutine testit() double precision normrnd, x call rndstart() x = normrnd() call dblepr("X was", 5, x, 1) call rndend() end but I don't understand

Hello, I am trying to calculate the autocovariance matrix for any general farima(p,d,q) with p,q > 1. Could anyone give an idea how to implement in R or if there is any package for this? thank you beforehand. Jose.

hello, please can anyone help me out. Am a new user of R program. Am having problem with this code below, not getting the expected results. 1. Each m, the cumulative sum should be 1.000 but the 2nd and 3rd m returned 2.000 and 3.000 instead of 1.000. 2. to get the LCL(m) and UCL(m) for each m base on these instructions if out.cum > 0.025 then LCL(m)= y-1 if out.cum >0.975

I am porting some FORTRAN to R in which an Inf triggers an if(). The trigger is infinite on exp(lgamma(OVER)). What is the canonical R style of determining OVER when exp(OVER)== Inf? The code structure that I am porting is best left intact--so I need to query R somehow to the value of OVER that causes exp(lgamma(OVER)) to equal Inf. On my system, exp(lgamma(171)) is about first to equal Inf.

Dear R users, i try to integrate lgamma from 0 to Inf. But here i get the message "roundoff error is detected in the extrapolation table", if i use 1.0e120 instead of Inf the computation works, but this is against the suggestion of integrates help information to use Inf explicitly. Using stirlings approximation doesnt bring the solution too. ## Stirlings approximation lgammaApprox

Dear: I try to revise the maximum likelihood function below using something constrains. But it seems something wrong with it. Becasue R would not allow me to edit the function like this. It is very appreciate if you can help. function (parameters,y,x1,x2) { p<-parameters[1] alpha1<-parameters[2] beta1<-parameters[3)] delta1<-parameters[4] alpha2<-parameters[5]

I've recently tried to get 0.62.3 up on our Suns (4.1.4, using gcc; I'm also having trouble with a Solaris 2.6 compile but I haven't given up hope on that one yet) -- the last compile I did was 0.61.1, which worked smoothly. Running ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apps/R/R-0.62.3 [--with-g77] (tried both with and without g77, eventually get to the same place), I get a conflict

Hi, I would like to use the multinomRob function to test election results. However, depending on which independent variables I include and how many categories I have in the dependent variable, the model cannot be estimated. My data look like this (there are 68 observations): > head(database) RESTE09 GAUCHE09 PDC09 PLR09 UDC09 MCG09 RESTE05 GAUCHE05 PDC05 D1 1455

I am trying to solve the integration equation, for different values of K from 4 to 25, the integration is with respect to u, Here is the equation: gamma(k/2) / ( sqrt(k-1)*gamma((k-1)/2) ) * integrate(f= (1+u^2/k-1)^(-k/2), lower=0, upper= sqrt(a^2*k/(k+1-a^2)) ) = the similar expression as te left hand except k becomes k+1 my code is below, I don't know why R keep telling me the syntax

Hello, I submitted a package which used Fortran functions isnan and lgamma. However, I was told that: isnan and lgamma are not Fortran 95 functions. I was asked to write 'cross-platform portable code' and so should not be writing GNU extensions to Fortran. See http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_mpath.html, which will shortly show installation failures under Solaris. I

Dear R-help readers, I am writing to you in order to ask you a few questions about distribution fitting in R. I am trying to find out whether the set of event interarrival times that I am currently analyzing is distributed with a Gamma or General Pareto distribution. The event arrival granularity is in minutes and interarrival times are in seconds, so the values I have are 0, 60, 120, 180, and

Dear R-users, Is there an R function to compute the multinomial beta function? That is, the normalizing constant that arises in a Dirichlet distribution. For example, with three parameters the beta function is Beta(n1,n2,n2) = Gamma(n1)*Gamma(n2)*Gamma(n3)/Gamma(n1+n2+n3) Thanks in advance for any assisstance.

I have to calculate some formula like: gamma(x)/(gamma(x+y) and I observed that for relatively big values of x, R returns infinity and so cannot compute the formula. Is it possible to force R to give the real value of gamma(x) instead of Inf ? thanks
