R-users, Attached is the file (SR_use2.txt) I'd like to include and includes column headers. nat_est is the response variable and is the number of species at a particular point. The other variables are the explanatory vars (vark, var2, var1, UK, U2, U1, GK, G2, G1, PK, P2, P1). Here is Walsh's sample code for hier.part: data(urbanwq) env <- urbanwq[,2,8] hier.part(urbanwq$lec,

Dear R-users, I did some more research and I'm still not sure how to set up an ANCOVA with nestedness. Specifically I'm not sure how to express chicks nested within boxes. I will be getting Pinheiro & Bates (Mixed Effects Models in S and S-Plus) but it will not arrive for another two weeks from our interlibrary loan. The goal is to determine if there are urbanization (purban)

Hi. I'm trying to plot the ratio of used versus unused bird houses (coded 1 or 0) versus a continuous environmental gradient (proportion of urban cover [purban2]) that I would like to convert into bins (0 - 0.25, 0.26 - 0.5, 0.51 - 0.75, 0.76 - 1.0) and I'm not having much luck figuring this out. I ran a logistic regression and purban2 ends up driving the probability of a box being

I just had a manuscript returned with the biggest problem being the analysis. Instead of using principal components in a regression I've been asked to analyze a few variables separately. So that's what I'm doing. I pulled a feather from young birds and we quantified certain aspects of the color of those feathers. Since I often have more than one sample from a nest, I thought I

Hi. I'm attempting to fit a logistic/binomial model so I can determine the influence of landscape on the probability that a box gets used by a bird. I've looked at a few sources (MASS text, Dalgaard, Fox and google) and the examples are almost always based on tabular predictor variables. My data, however are not. I'm not sure if that is the source of the problems or not because the

All, I'm having a problem selecting directly from a vector. I've written ways to do this indirectly, but I'd rather do it directly and didn't see this in the manual. Essentially, I have: > group.label.new [1] 7 9 6 1 10 4 8 3 2 5 > junk [1] 1 2 > group.label.new[junk && 8:10] [1] 7 9 6 1 10 4 8 3 2 5 I'd like to select the elements

R-users, I'm having some trouble getting .glm and glm.nb to run a polynomial. I've used x*x and x^2 and neither works. I've checked out the archives and they refer to an archive that's no longer working. I've seen that they use poly() but I'm following up my analysis with cv.glm so I'd prefer to keep using glm. It's easier to just add a column to my data but

Dear R-users, I set up an experiment where I put up bluebird boxes across an urbanization gradient. I monitored these boxes and at some point I pulled a feather from a chick and a friend used spectral properties (rtot, a continuous var) to index chick health. There is an effect of sex that I would like to include but how would I set up a regression and look at the effect of urbanization

Hi. Is there a way to get the values predicted from (leave-one-out) cv.glm? It seems like a useful diagnostic to plot observed vs. predicted values.

Folks, Thanks for the help with the hier.part analysis. All the problems stemmed from an import problem which was solved with file.chose(). Now that I have the variables that I'd like to use I need to run some GLM models. I think I have that part under control but I'd like to use a jackknife approach to model validation (I was using a hold out sample but this seems to have fallen out

Hi, Last week my class conducted an experiment by putting out clay caterpillars to look at the effects of urbanization, color, and location on caterpillar predation. There were two sites (urban, rural), three colors (green, yellow, red) and two locations at each site (edge, interior). The entire data set is below. I've checked out the MASS book, Dalgaard's book, and the R-help archives

Hi folks, I am running a very simple regression using mylm <- lm(mass ~ tarsus, na.action=na.exclude) I would like the use the residuals from this analysis for more regression but I'm running into a snag when I try cbind(mylm$residuals, mydata) # where my data is the original data set The error tells me that it cannot use cbind because the length of mylm$residuals is

Hi everyone, I determined the presence of three types parasites in a passerine bird over two years. I would like to create a bar chart that shows the proportion infected on the y and year/parasite on the x such that each type of parasite is grouped together (single label) and a bar for each year . This would show if there have been changes in the prevalence of a the parasite over two years.

I would like to be able to grab x and y columns out of a dataframe and then grab all of the columns that are not equal to x or y. I am sure that I am missing something easy. ftbr_UTM_downstream <- (structure(list(site = c("Jennie_Creek_Main_Stem", "Wolf_Pit_Creek_Main_Stem", "Little_Rockfish_Main_Stem_North", "Big_Muddy_Creek_Main_Stem",

I'm have what's probably a trivial &| silly problem trying to access a c-function in a shared library ( R 0.64, under redhat linux 5.2). R COMPILE rctest.c R SHLIB -o libRC.so rctest.o produce a reasonable looking shared library ('nm libRC.so' shows that the function 'rctest' is present). In R, the command dyn.load("/fullpathname/libRC.so")

Hi all, I'm currently working through the "Beginner's Guide to R" (Zurr et al.) and I'm wondering about the first exercise in chapter 3: I imported the data from BirdFluCases.txt and executed the 'names' and 'str' functions as follows: Bird = read.table(file='C:\\rbook\\BirdFluCases2.txt', header=TRUE) names(Bird) [1] "Year"

Hi All, Real neophyte here, to both backgroundrb and ruby/rails in general. (Hey, we''ve all got to start somewhere, right!) :) I''ve just been playing around with the example code at http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org/ , and trying to get all the pieces to work (btw, I''m using version 0.2.1). I did a ''generate worker example'', which created an

I have a model Q=K*A*(R^r)*(S^s) A, R, and S are data I have and K is a curve fitting parameter. I have linearized as log(Q)=log(K)+log(A)+r*log(R)+s*log(S) I have taken the log of the data that I have and this is the model formula without the K part lm(Q~offset(A)+R+S, data=x) What is the formula that I should use? Thanks for all of your help. I can provide a subset of data if necessary.

R helpers I am getting to grips with R but came across a small problem today that I could not fix by myself. I have 3 text files, each with a single column of data. I read them in using: myData1<-scan("C:/Program Files/R/myData1.txt") myData2<-scan("C:/Program Files/R/myData2.txt") myData3<-scan("C:/Program Files/R/myData3.txt") I wanted to produce a
