It is not a pure R question,but I hope some one can give me advices. I want to use analysis my data with the multilevel model.The data has 2 levels---- the second level has 52 units and each second level unit has 19-23 units.I think the sample size is quite small,but just now I can't make the sample size much bigger.So I want to ask if I use the multilevel model to analysis the data set,will

the data file has such structure: 1992 6245 49 . . 20 1 0 0 8.739536 0 . . . . . . . . "alabama" . 0 . 1993 7677 58 . . 15 1 0 0

The green book tells:"The basic technique is classic :keep it simple ."A long ,complicated expression or function is less fravorable than" a relatively small computations that combines calls to a few other functions to perform its tasks." But I don't get the point totally.Can anyone give me an example to make me understand this rules totally? ps: Is it mean that f1 is

I have a spss format data file which is about 134M,and I want to read it into R and analysis the data. I plan to split the file into 4 parts and then use read.spss to read it,but during the process,the RGui crashes. and I try to convert it into csv file and use read.csv to import it,but after 1 hours,the process is still not completed. So I want to know if my computer can do this job without

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

Hi, Given a frame with calendar date's: "2005-07-01", "2005-07-02","2005-07-03","2005-07-04","2005-07-05",etc. I want to extract the following from these dates: week number month number year number Any ideas how to accomplish this? Many thanks. Regards, Richard

My question is when the object argument of NexthMethod be used? In the following example, weather object argument is used will not affects the result. ### foo=function(x) {UseMethod("foo")} foo.cls1=function(x) { x=x+1;class(x)<-"ncls" NextMethod() } foo.ncls=function(x) { cat("ncls\n") } foo.cls2=function(x) { cat("cls2\n");print(x) }

Good working knowledge of a DBMS is almost invaluable when it comes to working with very large data sets. In addition, learning SQL is piece of cake compared to learning R. On top of that, knowledge of another (SQL)
