Problem on flexmix when trying to apply signature developed in one model to a new sample. Dear R Users, R Core Team, I have a problem when trying to know the classification of the tested cases using two variables with the function of flexmix: After importing the database and creating a matrix: BM<-cbind(Data$var1,Data$var2) I see that the best model has 2 groups and use: ex2

I am using 'tm' package for text mining and facing an issue with finding the frequently occuring terms. From the definition it appears that findFreqTerms and minDocFreq are equivalent commands and both tries to identify the documents with terms appearing more than a specified threshold. However, I am getting drastically different results with both. I have given the results from both the

Dear R-helpers: We have had fun using betareg to fit models with proportions as dependent variables. However, in the analysis of these models we found some wrinkles and don't know where is the best place to start looking for a fix. The problems we see (so far) are that 1. predict ignores newdata 2. anova does not work Here is the small working example: ---------------------------- x

Hi I'm trying to fit a model in betareg and I'm getting errors, but have no idea what they mean or how to solve them. Does anyone have experience with this? > model <- betareg(ACT ~ ST*SoilT, data = actDL_F) Warning messages: 1: In sqrt(W) : NaNs produced 2: In sqrt(W) : NaNs produced 3: In sqrt(1 + phihat) : NaNs produced data summaries don't give any na's or problems I

Dear all, I get an error using betrag on this data set :http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1866110/dump.csv. I run it like this regression f2.1=betareg(Y~X1+X2,data=dump) summary(f2.1) I get : Call: betareg(formula = Y ~ X1 + X2, data = dump) Standardized weighted residuals 2: Error in quantile.default(x$residuals) : missing values and NaN's not allowed if 'na.rm' is FALSE In addition:

Folks, The betareg package appears to be polished and works well. But I would like to look at the exact formulas for the underlying model being estimated, the likelihood function, etc. E.g. if one has to compute \frac{\partial E(y)}{\partial x_i}, this requires careful calculations through these formulas. I read "Regression analysis of variates observed on (0,1): percentages, proportions and

Dear R users, I'm trying to do betareg on my dataset. Dependent variable is not normally distributed and is proportion (of condom use (0,1)). But I'm having problems: gyl<-betareg(cond ~ alcoh + drug, data=results) Error in optim(par = start, fn = loglikfun, gr = gradfun, method = method, : initial value in 'vmmin' is not finite Why is R returning me error in optim()? What

Hi, In using the betareg package, I encounter the following error message: Error in lm.wfit(x, linkfun(y), weights, offset = offset) : NA/NaN/Inf in foreign function call (arg 4) Any help will be most appreciated. Thanks in advance. Alex

Dear useRs, version 2.2-2 of the "betareg" package has just been released on CRAN http://CRAN.R-project.org/package=betareg accompanied by an article in the Journal of Statistical Software http://www.jstatsoft.org/v34/i02/ The package provides beta regression for data in the unit interval (0, 1) such as rates and proportions. The manuscript replicates several practical

Dear all, we received a bug report for betareg, that in some cases the optim call in betareg.fit would hang the R session and the command cannot be interrupted by Ctrl-C? We narrowed down the problem to the dbeta function which is used for the log likelihood evaluation in betareg.fit. Particularly, the following command hangs the R session to a 100% CPU usage in all systems we tried it (OS X

Stephen, thanks for your effort. The more appropriate list for this discussion is probably R-devel (as far as I understand it) so I've moved the discussion there. Related topics have already been discussed in the past. Specifically, I remember contributions by Paul Johnson ("rockchalk" package) and John Fox ("effects" and "car" package) as their packages

Dear Person That Posted This Email, Please be aware that calls for papers are only on-topic for this email list if they are specifically about LLVM. For example, a call for a workshop on LLVM in Scientific Computing would be on topic whereas a general compiler call for papers (like the one below) is not. That said, I hope you receive many strong submissions. Your conference looks

Hi I'm trying to maximize a joint likelihood of 2 likelihoods (Likelihood 1 and Likelihood 2) in mle2, where the parameters I estimate in Likelihood 2 go into the likelihood 1. In Likelihood 1 I estimate the vector logN with length 37, and for the Likelihood 2 I measure a vector s of length 8. The values of s in Lieklihood 2 are used in the Likelihood 1. I have 2 questions: ##1 I manage

[cross-posted to R-devel and bioc-devel] Hi, I am trying to implement a 'sort' method in one of the CRAN packages I am maintaining ('apcluster'). I started with using setMethod("sort", ...) in my package, which worked fine. Since many users of my package are from the bioinformatics field, I want to ensure that my package works smoothly with Bioconductor. The problem

Hello, I am currently working with the betareg package, which allows the fitting of a variable dispersion beta regression model (Simas et al. 2010, Computational Statistics & Data Analysis). I was wondering whether there is any package in R that allows me to fit variable dispersion parameters in the standard logistic regression model, that is to make the dispersion parameter contingent upon
