Hi! I'm trying to do some ploytomous logistic regression using multinom() in the nnet package, but am a bit confused about interpretation of the results Is it possible to get the following quantities: I: maximum likelihood estimates to test for fit of model and significance of each predictor (I would like to produce a table of the following type) Analysis of Variance: MLE (values are

Hello! After a presentation of some statistical analysis of process datas, (where the few R possibilities I was able to show made quite a big impression), I was asked if it was possible to program a statistical application which could be used directly by the end user. Such an application would include a userfriendly interface (developped in C++), a db , a core statistical program, standard

Hello, I'm new to R and in the process of testing it My first question: I fail to read in my data (ANSI toto.txt file, tab separated) > test <-read.table("toto.txt") Error in file(file, "r") : unable to open connection In addition: Warning message: cannot open file `toto.txt' > test <-

Dear R users, Does anyone know if it is possible to use multinom to do a polychotomous fit using one categorical and one numeric variable as response. The doc. for multinom states that for formula , response can be K>2 classes. Is this 2 and more, or as I have understood it only greater than 2. I have tried fitting my data, but have only encountered error messages. On another note, Is it

Hello, I am using logistic discriminant analysis to check whether a known classification Yobs can be predicted by few continuous variables X. What I do is to predict class probabilities with multinom() in nnet(), obtaining a predicted classification Ypred and then compute the percentage P(obs) of objects classified the same in Yobs and Ypred. My problem now is to figure out whether P(obs) is

Hi, Just wonder if someone could comment on using linear discriminant analysis (LDA) vs. multinomial logistic regression in multi-class classification/prediction (nomial dependent variable, not ordinal)? What kind of difference in results can I expect from the 2 methods, which is better or more appropriate, or under what condiditon should I used one instead of the other? And is there other

I want to get the logLik to calculate McFadden.R2 ,ML.R2 and Cragg.Uhler.R2, but the value from multinom does not have logLik.So my quetion is : is logLik meaningful to multinomial logistic model from multinom?If it does, how can I get it? Thank you! ps: I konw VGAM has function to get the multinomial logistic model with logLik, but I prefer use the function from "official" R

I am looking into using the multinomial logistic regression option in the nnet library and have two questions about formatting the data. 1. Can data be analysed in the following format or does it need to be transformed into count data, such as the housing data in MASS?

Hello list, Is there any mean to fit models for ordinal response other than multinomial polytomous ("multinom" from nnet ) and cumulative logit ("polr" from MASS)? I am particularly interested in continuation-ratio model and adjacent-category logit model. It is for the sake of epidemiology in wild-living populations! Many thanks, Emmanuelle Fromont

Sir, I want to fit a multinomial logistic regression in R.I think mlogit() is the function for doing this. mlogit () is in packege globaltest.But, I can not install this package. I use the following: install.packages("globaltest") Can you help me? Regards, Suman Dhara [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello! I need to classify a data set with 19 variables and 9 classes using Logistic Regression(on R). I know that when we have only 2 classes we can use glm() to estimate the coefficients of the model. But I don?t understand how can I do a classification task with Logistic Regression on a data set with 9 classes! Does anybody know how can I estimate these coefficients (of a model with 9

Hi, how can I do multinomial logistic regression in R? I think glm() can only handle binary response variable, and polr() can only handle ordinal response variable. how to do logistic regression with multinomial response variable? Thanks __________________________________

Dear Colleagues I have been fitting some multinomial logistic regression models using R (version 1.6.1 on a linux box) and Stata 7. Although the vast majority of the parameter estimates and standard errors I get from R are the same as those from Stata (given rounding errors and so on), there are a few estimates for the same model which are quite different. I would be most grateful if

I'm about to present a report (for internal use of governmental agency). I used extensively R , contibuted packages, as well as communications on the R-list As well as citing R, I would like to know how to cite the contributed packages (it is not so easy, as some have been used exensively, other marginally, some are called from another package and some were not used as softwares but gave me

Hi Everyone, I have some data that predicts both a nominal and ordinal response variable. I was wondering what packages in R would help me analyze the data? I was also curious if anyone could recomend me some textbooks that would help with the analysis of such data? I have the 5th edition of "Applied Multivariate Statistical Analysis" by Richard A. Johnson and Dean W. Wichern

DeaR useRs: I am looking for a function which fits a multinomial model and in Baron?s page I find the function "multinom" in package "nnet" but this package is deprecated. I suppose that this function is now in other package but I can't find it. Can you help me? Thanks.

Hello R helpers! I looked but did not find a table-lookup R-utility. I could use a loop to do the job (old FORTRAN/C habits die hard) but if I have a big table in which I have to search for the values corresponding to a vector, I end up logically with a double loop. Is there already such a utility? Otherwise, is there a way without loops? Thanks as always Anne

Dear All, I am trying to reproduce the example that I found online here http://bit.ly/11VG4ha However, when I run my script (pasted at the end of the email), I notice that there is a factor 2 between the values for the coefficients for the categorical variable female calculated by my script and in the online example. Any idea about where this difference comes from? Besides, how can I

Dear All: I am interested in multinomial logit models (function multinon, library nnet) but I'm having troubles in choose whether to define the predictors as factors or not. I had posted earlier this example (thanks for the reply ronggui): worms<- data.frame(year= rep(2000:2004, c(3,3,3,3,3)),age=rep(1:3,5),
