Hello, I am working on getting optimal lags by using BIC, But I don't know how to calculate BIC. Is there any code or useful function for it? Thanks and regards, Dan Zhao

Hi All,  I am trying to run cv.glmnet(x,y,family="multinomial", nfolds =4) and I only have 8 observations and the number of features I have is 1000, so my x matrix is 8 by 1000 and when I run the following, I get this error, I am not sure what is causing this problem.  Error in predmat[which, , seq(nlami)] = preds :   number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length Can

Dear all, I would like to ask your help concerning an error message I get. I have the following struct str(CRagentInTime[[1]]) List of 2 $ timelag: int 0 $ CRagent:List of 50 ..$ :List of 3 .. ..$ CRmap: num [1:256, 1:256] NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA ... .. ..$ xy : num [1:2] 10 177 .. ..$ sr : num [1:49] -94.9 -92.8 -79.5 -97.6 -78.4 ... and I wanted to select all the sr fields

Hi All,  I have been trying to use glmnet package to do LASSO linear regression. my x data is a matrix n_row by n_col and y is a vector of size n_row corresponding to the vector data. The number of n_col is much more larger than the number of n_row. I do the following: fits = glmnet(x, y, family="multinomial")I have been following this

Hi All,  After fitting a model with glm function, I would like to do the model selection and select some of the features and I am using the "step function" as follows:  glm.fit <- glm (Y ~ . , data = dat, family = binomial(link=logit)) AIC_fitted = step(glm.fit, direction = "both") I was wondering is there any way to select the features based on BIC rather than AIC? is there

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 My ultimate goal is to best fit time series by comparing AICs and BICs (as in Bayesian) from arima() and nnet(). I looked at the arima.R source code, but I am afraid I do not understand it. What I only miss really is the number of parameters p, where: AIC = n*log(S/n) + 2*p with S the squared residuals and n the number of observations. Can I get p

Hi all, I obtained negative values for AIC and BIC criteria for a particular model that I have developped... I don't remember to have negative values for these crietria for others applications, so I am a little suprised... Could anyone tell me if something is wrong or his conclusion concerning my model? Best regards, Olivier.

Dear All 1) I'm fitting spatial CAR models using R2Winbugs and although everything seems to go reasonably well (or I think so) the next message appears from WINBUGS 1.4 window: gen.inits() Command #Bugs: gen.inits cannot be executed (is greyed out) The question is if this message means that something is wrong and the results are consequently wrong, or Can I assume it as a simple warning

Hi, all: Does anybody know how to avoid the intercept term in cv.glmnet coefficient? When I say "avoid", it does not mean using coef()[-1] to omit the printout of intercept, it means no intercept at all when doing the analysis. Thanks. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, I am using the glmnet R package to run LASSO with binary logistic regression. I have over 290 samples with outcome data (0 for alive, 1 for dead) and over 230 predictor variables. I currently using LASSO to reduce the number of predictor variables. I am using the cv.glmnet function to do 10-fold cross validation on a sequence of lambda values which I let glmnet determine. I then take

Hi all, I would like to know how the BIC criterion is calculated for models estimated using gls( ) function. I read in Pinheiro & Bates (2000) p84 that BIC = -2logL + npar*log(N) (for the ML method), or BIC = -2logLR + npar*log(N-p) (for the REML method) but when I use any of these formulae I don't obtain the result given by R. Thanks in advance for any help. Eve CORDA Office national

Hi Folks, I've got a question concerning the calculation of the Schwarz-Criterion (BIC) done by summary.regsubsets() of the leaps-package: Using regsubsets() to perform subset-selection I receive an regsubsets object that can be summarized by summary.regsubsets(). After this operation the resulting summary contains a vector of BIC-values representing models of size i=1,...,K. My problem

I've just found the lavaan package, and I really appreciate it, as it seems to succeed with models that were failing in sem::sem. I need some clarification, however, in the output, and I was hoping the list could help me. I'll go with the standard example from the help documentation, as my problem is much larger but no more complicated than that. My question is, why is there one latent

Hello, Is there a function in R by which one can run AR model with Bayesian Information Criteria (BIC)? To my knowledge, functions ar and ar.ols could select the order only by AIC. Thanks, Miao [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I'm using R 2.0.1. I looked in the email archives but didn't see anything on this topic. I've noticed a surprising (to me) difference between AIC and BIC: > methods("AIC") [1] AIC.default* AIC.logLik* > methods("BIC") [1] BIC.gls* BIC.lm* BIC.lme* BIC.lmList* BIC.logLik* BIC.nls* The BIC.gls BIC.lm BIC.lme BIC.lmList and BIC.nls functions appear

Hello I?m need fitt growth curve with data length-age. I want to evaluate which is the function that best predicts my data, to do so I compare the Akaikes of different models. I'm now need to evaluate if changing the initial values changes the parameters and which do not allow to estimate the model. To do this I use the function nls(); and I randomize the initial values (real positive number).

Dear R-List I have a question about how to interpret BIC as a goodness-of-fit statistic. I was trying to use "EMclust" and other "mclust" library and found that BIC was used as a goodness-of-fit statistic. Although I know that smaller BIC indicates a better fit, it is not clear to me how good a fit is by reading a BIC number. Is there a standard way of interpreting a BIC

Dear, I would like know the way to calculate the variance explained of a regression tree. I use the function "ctree" from library "party" many thanks [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear subscribers, I am looking for a function which would allow me to model the dependent variable as the number of successes in a series of Bernoulli trials. My data looks like this ID TRIALS SUCCESSESS INDEP1 INDEP2 INDEP3 1 4444 0 0.273 0.055 0.156 2 98170 74 0.123 0.456 0.789 3 145486 30 0.124

Hi, I must be doing something silly here, because I can't get the studentised and standardised residuals from r output of a linear model to agree with what I think they should be from equation form. Thanks in advance, Jennifer x = seq(1,10) y = x + rnorm(10) mod = lm(y~x) rstandard(mod) residuals(mod)/(summary(mod)$sigma) rstudent(mod)
