similar to: logistic regression and 3PL model

Hello colleagues, This is a follow up to a question I posed in November regarding an analysis I was working on. Thank you to Dr. Brian Ripley and Dr. John Fox for helping me out during that time. I am conducting logistic regression on data set on psi (ESP) ganzfeld trials. The response variable is binary (correct/incorrect), with a 25% guessing base rate. Dr. Ripley suggested that I

Hi all, I have just installed OSX Server 10.4 and R comes up with the incompatible libxml library message reported by Dan Kelley a few messages ago. Xcode 2 does not ship with Tiger Server. I installed the X-Windows code. I can report that the version of libxml2.2 that is installed in this case is the version 8.0.0 dylib. [6]sboker at munimula:/usr/lib % ls -l libxml2.2* -rwxr-xr-x 1

I was wondering whether the following inconsistency of the promax rotation function with the results of a promax rotation using SAS should be considered a bug in the promax function of R. Any comments will be highly appreciated. The following is a loading matrix obtained from a varimax rotation in SAS: # Factor loadings after varimax rotation x <- t(array(c(0.78107, 0.35573,

# I have a question about how factanal is calculating the regression factor # scores based on an oblique rotation (promax) of the factors. # # As is explained in the help file, regression factor scores are # obtained as # # hat f = Lambda' Sigma^-1 x # # However, according to Harman's "Modern Factor Analysis" (e.g. second # edition, pp. 351-352) the formula is # # hat f = Phi

hello R, This is about simulation in psychomtrics in IRT in R. I want to simulate b parameters(item difficulty) with moments of fixed values of mean, st.d, skewness and kurtosis. Is there any specific IRT package in R with those functions to control those moments? I have seen other programs that can control mean and st.d but not skewness and kurtosis. Thank you, helen L [[alternative HTML

Hi, I'm looking for a function which returns the name of the argument object as a string: >vect <- 1:3 >function(vect) "vect" I've looked at 'name', 'names', 'objects', none seem to do exactly what I want. ls/objects comes close, but I can't figure out how to force it to give me only one object name. daver

Hi, Is there a function func(x) where x is an array such that it returns a list of the indices of all non-zero elements of the array? for example: a: 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 func(a) returns two vectors r and c: r c 1 1 2 3 3 2 daver +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |David Richmond It works on a | + Dept. of Sociology complex scientific

Dear all, I am trying to optimize a logistic function using optim, inside the following functions: #Estimating a and b from thetas and outcomes by ML IRT.estimate.abFromThetaX <- function(t, X, inits, lw=c(-Inf,-Inf), up=rep(Inf,2)){ optRes <- optim(inits, method="L-BFGS-B", fn=IRT.llZetaLambdaCorrNan, gr=IRT.gradZL, lower=lw, upper=up, t=t, X=X)

Hi, I was wondering if bash or inputrc has changed form CentOS v4 to CentOS v5? Reason I ask is at the bash cli I can type, for example 'su' and then with the up and down arrows I can scroll through my history and will only see the commands that begin with 'su'. In CentOS 5 this isn't the case. I have added some code to my inputrc file to make this work in CentOS 4 as

When a caller hangs up (e.g. after leaving a voicemail), my British Telecom exchange sends a continuous tone for about 15s and then silence. I can't get asterisk to recognise this tone as a hangup indication. I have tried indications.conf with both country=uk and country=us. My zapata.conf has busydetect=yes, callprogress=yes and I've tried setting busycount from 1 through 7 I am using

Hello R, I am looking for non-parametric simulation in IRT. Is there any IRT package that does non-parametric simulation? helen L [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi I'm presently installing 2.2.8a on Mandrake 9.1 I'm a newbie to Linux as well as Samba, so it's been fun... When I first installed Linux I installed Samba from the discs (2.2.7a), but on reading up on the subject it became clear that I should give installing the source a go. My problem is this - I don't think I have rerouted all of the paths to usr/local/samba from what

Hi, I'm new to R, and trying to map stuff I knew how to do in Matlab to R. For instances, in matlab, sum(x) gave the column sums of matrix(/vector) x. In R it just gives the sum of all the elements, regardless of their form (vector or matrix). Is there a simple way to return a vector of column sums for a matrix? Also, in Matlab binary operators exist for concatenating a matrix onto the end or

i am having some problems with a program that i am writing and i think that knowing how the while command works will help me to figure out where i am going wrong *when do you get kicked out of a while loop?* (i.e., in the following example what would the final value of 'a' be?) i thought it would be 99 but running it in R i get 101 (and 101 for x too!) while (x <100) { for (i in

Hello, I want to compute Wainer et al's augmented subscore(2001) using IRT but I can't find any packages or relevant code. There is a 'subscore' package in R, but I think it only gives functions to calculate augmented subscores using CTT(classical test theory). Is there other package or code to compute subscores using IRT? If it is not, is there any plan to develop it in

Hi Xavier, the reason you observe this feature is that in the 'constraint' argument you should specify the values under the additive parameterization, i.e., when in the second column of the matrix supplied in 'constraint' you specify 2, then you need to provide the easiness parameters (not the difficulty parameters) in the third column. Check the Details section of ?tpm() and

Hello, I have Asterisk 16.2 on Debian. In the Asterisk CLI, I would like to change 2 things: 1) change the keybindings for commandline editing (what in bash is called "readline" editing of the command line) The CLI is missing some very useful keybindings, and even worse, has misconfigured others, For instance, "ctrl"+"w" should delete the last word backward. But
