Dear R users, I'm using the "reldist" add-on package to calculate relative distribution in R as part of my research project. The subject is a general mental health score ranging from 0 to 12 (integer values only) with 0 indicating no mental health problem and positive values meaning some or sever mental health problem. When I run the programme to compare the scores of population

Dear all users, I read all R programs and texts in "Relative Distribution Methods" website, but I encounter two problems when I used it. then I used "Google" to try to find any solutions about the two problems,but I got no useful hints. 1、 In package "reldist" y mean sample from comparison distribution yo mean sample from reference distribution but I

Dear R users: i try to use package "reldist" to measure wage distribution. In package "reldist" : y mean sample from comparison distribution yo mean sample from reference distribution but I would like to compare more than two years ( total of fifteen years, from 1979, 1981, 1983..........to 2007) how should i correct my programs, then i could compare fifteen year's

Hello, I would like to build a Lorenz curve and calculate a Gini coefficient in order to find how much parasites does the top 20% most infected hosts support. Here is my data set: Number of parasites per host: parasites = c(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) Number of hosts associated with each number of parasites given above: hosts = c(18,20,28,19,16,10,3,1,0,0,0) To represent the Lorenz curve: I

Dear all, I have 1980~1990 eleven datas, every year have three variables, wage gender(1=female, 2=male) race(1=black, 2=white) My original commands is: fig2b<-reldist(y=mu1990$wage,yo=mu1980$wage,.......) I have three questions: 1. If I want to appoint y=women's wage in 1990 yo=women's wage in 1980 2. If I want to appoint y=women's wage in

Dear R community, I have one problem with figures. I draw the Relative Distribution graph, it looks like barchart(X,Y plot), but I have ten(year) Relative Distribution grapgs, have any command am can combine ten barcharts(X,Y plot) to become a three dimensions barchart(X,Y,Z plot)? All help highly appreciated Best, Yichih One Relative Distribution graph:

Hi listers, Does it necessary to install any package in order to use the GINI or INEQ functions. If I use the following command the R tells me that didn't find the GINI function. x<-c(541, 1463, 2445, 3438, 4437, 5401, 6392, 8304, 11904, 22261) G<-gini(x) Thanks in advance, Marcio -- View this message in context:

Hello, Thank you very much for your help. How can I draw a Lorenz curve with several replications ? Here is an example with 4 replications: hosts=c(23,31,19,10,7,7,3, 39,40,8,3,6,2,2, 47,17,8,10,6,11,1, 30,30,10,0,15,15,0) parasites=rep(seq(from=0,to=6,by=1),4) replications=c(rep(1,7),rep(2,7),rep(3,7),rep(4,7)) test <- cbind(parasites,hosts,replications) Should I

I frequently want to test for differences between animal size frequency distributions. The obvious test (I think) to use is the Kolmogorov-Smirnov two sample test (provided in R as the function ks.test in package ctest). The KS test is for continuous variables and this obviously includes length, weight etc. However, limitations in measuring (e.g length to the nearest cm/mm, weight to the nearest

Hola, paso el mini programita q estoy viendo, lo q me llama la atencion es una parte donde se definen las funciones. Probe primero meter adentro del boots la estadistica a estimar usando directamente gini(varible, pesos) pero no me dejo. Vi q en el ej del manual de boots, siempre define antes la funcion, entonces probe definir antes una funcion haciendo grini<-function(x) {gini(variable,

Hola Ivan gracias por tu ayuda, justo ayer a ultima hora hice una modificacion en el programa q hizo q el programita ande, aunq no entendi porque lo hizo. La modificacion fue agregar "*w" al final de cada parametro en la definicion de la funcion "grini" q habia creado, cosa q deduje de mirar la funcion q le habia robado al ejemplo del manual de boot ratio <- function(d, w)

hello, I''m booting xen on iTuner over serial console. It seems to me that it is bug that unless I explictly specify "console=com1" I get unhelpfull message "Unknown Interrupt" and halt (infinite loop). sh-2.05b# /sbin/kexec -e Starting new kernel Unknown interrupt adding "console=com1" fixes this problem for me so I doubt it I''m going to look

I'm trying to figure out how to interpret DAG output that is shown below. If I were to draw it by hand, how would I do it? I tried to do it, but unfortunately I can't figure it out. I know there is a way to generate a graph, but I made some changes to my backend which hangs clang/llc. Would someone be kind enough to give a picture of what of a graph below? I'm sure once I see one I

why don't you do some profiling instead of posting so many lines of email?

Hi, this is not a R question per se, but since I'm on the lookout for an R solution I thought this was the best place: I would like to calculate the entropy for a variable and the conditional entropy between two variables, H(X|Y) for variables X & Y I have coded the case for the categorical case but I'm having problems understanding how to do it for the continous case. >From

Dear UseRs!, Everything about UseR! 2010 was terrific! I really mean "everything" - the tutorials, invited talks, kaleidoscope sessions, focus sessions, breakfast, snacks, lunch, conference dinner, shuttle services, and the participants. The organization was fabulous. NIST were gracious hosts, and provided top notch facilities. The rousing speech by Antonio Possolo, who is the chief

Hi All Please see the Rprofile file which i have modified as follows and after that when I start R then I see that R says to me "TRUE" for all the packages implying that all loaded at once. But when i try to use commands as simple as help("lm"), it doesnt work nor any of the menu "Packages" is not working. Although the regression using lm ( Y ~ X ) is working

Hi folks, I've got this funny problem with R's foreign library when reading stata files. One file consistently produces vector out of memory errors after gobbling up 2.7G of memory. I parsed through the read.dta function and figured out where the error occurs and the description is below. I am running R-1.8.1 on Debian stable system glibc2.2 kernel 2.4.24. R is is compiled from source

Hi, I am currently working on reading large files into R. My files are text documents with four columns and around 10 million lines. Each line is set up as: string|integer|string|integer I have been trying to use read.table to read in the file, but I think I am reading too much into memory and the application quits. I want to be able to analyze the entire text document at once. I have thought
