I am needing some expertise with regard to the S-Plus command lmRobMM and its R counterpart rlm(formula,data,method="MM") I have used lmRobMM(formula,data) in S-Plus on the Stackloss data and obtained for my residuals 6.217777 1.150717 6.427946 8.174019 -0.6713005 -1.248641 -0.4236203 0.5763797 -1.057899 0.3593823 11 12 13 14 15 16

Dear Group, I am having trouble with using rlm on multivariate data sets. When I call rlm I get Error in lm.wfit(x, y, w, method = "qr") : incompatible dimensions lm on the same data sets seem to work well (see code example). Am I doing something wrong? I have already browsed through the forums and google but could not find any related discussions. I use Windows XP and R

Hello, I'm learning about robust M-estimators right now and had settled on the "Huber Proposal 2" as implemented in MASS, but further reading made clear, that at least 2 further weighting functions (Hampel, Tukey bisquare) exist. In a post from B.D. Ripley going back to 1999 I found the following quote: >> 2) Would huber() give me results that are similar (i.e., close

Hi, I know that if i want to see the SPLUS or R-source code of a function,i should give the command without the brackets.For example:  rsquared.lmRobMM function(x) {  str0 <- "Initial S-estimate"  str1 <- "Final M-estimate"  if(x$est == "final") {   z <- x$r.squared   attr(z, "info") <- str1  }  if(x$est == "initial") {   z <-

Dear list members, I'm interested in showing that within-group statistical dependence is negligible, so I can use ordinary linear models without including random effects. However, I can find no mention of testing a model with vs. without random effects in either Venable & Ripley (2002) or Pinheiro and Bates (2000). Our in-house statisticians are not familiar with this, either,

Hi all, I'm trying to fit a nonlinear regression by "nlrob": model3=nlrob(y~a1*x^a2,data=transient,psi=psi.bisquare, start=list(a1=0.02,a2=0.7),maxit=1000) However an error message keeps popping up saying that the function psi.bisquare doesn't exist. I also tried psi.huber, which is supposed to be the default for nlrob: model3=nlrob(y~a1*x^a2,data=transient,psi=psi.huber,

How do we get 2-tailed p-values for the rlm summary? I'm using the following: > fit <- rlm(oatRT ~ oatoacData$erp, psi=psi.bisquare, maxit=100, na.action='na.omit') > fitsum <- summary(fit, cor=F) > print(fitsum) Call: rlm(formula = oatRT ~ oatoacData$erp, psi = psi.bisquare, maxit = 100, na.action = "na.omit") Residuals: Min 1Q Median

Dear all, I am not sure if this mail is for R-help or should be sent to R-devel instead, and therefore post to both. While using nlrob from package 'robustbase', I ran into the following problem: For psi-functions that can become zero (e.g. psi.bisquare), weights in the internal call to nls can become zero. Example: d <- data.frame(x=1:5,y=c(2,3,5,10,9)) d.nlrob <-

[Sorry- somehow the first time I posted this it got attached to another thread -Vik] I am successfully performing a correspondence analysis using the commands: NonLuxury <- read.table("/Users/myUserName/Desktop/nonLuxury.data.txt") ca(NonLuxury) I would like to store the results to a data frame so that I can write them to disk using write.table. I have tried

Dear R-experts, I am trying to do cross-validation for different models using the cvTools package. I can't get the CV for the "FastTau" and "hbrfit". I guess I have to write my own functions at least for hbrfit. What is going wrong with FastTau ? Here below the reproducible example. It is a simple toy example (not my real dataset) with many warnings, what is important to

You need to pay attention to the documentation more closely. If you don't know what something means, that is usually a signal that you need to study more... in this case about the difference between an input variable and a design (model) matrix. This is a concept from the standard linear algebra formulation for regression equations. (Note that I have never used RobPer, nor do I regularly

Hi, I've been using the Matlab robustfit function for linear regressions where I suspect some data points are outliers. Is there an equivalent function in R? Take care, Darren PS, This is the Matlab help on robustfit: >> help robustfit ROBUSTFIT Robust linear regression B = ROBUSTFIT(X,Y) returns the vector B of regression coefficients, obtained by performing robust

I'm experienced in statistics, but I am a first-time R user. I would like to use R for correspondence analysis. I have installed R (Mac OSX). I have used the package installer to install the CA package. I have run the following line with no errors to read in the data for a table: NonLuxury <- read.table("/Users/myUserName/Desktop/nonLuxury.data.txt") The R online help

I want to estimate the center of a distribution with lots of outliers in one tail, and thought I would use a function such as S-plus's location.m() with psi.fun=bisquare (as per MASS 3 p. 131). However, R seems not have such a function, so my questions are: 1) Is there an R equivalent to location.m()? 2) Would huber() give me results that are similar (i.e., close enough)? Thanks.

R-experts, I have fitted many different lines. The fast-tau estimator (yellow line) seems strange to me?because this yellow line is not at all in agreement with the other lines (reverse slope, I mean the yellow line has a positive slope and the other ones have negative slope). Is there something wrong in my R code ? Is it because the Y variable is 1 vector and should be a matrix ? Here is the

Hi, I installed FreeBSD/amd64 9.1-RELEASE yesterday. I chose to do a manual installation due to the use of ZFS. I checked out stable/9 and recompiled both world and GENERIC kernel. Said kernel and world was installed without any problems. System is still up & running, with uname -a revealing r243825. I then decided to upgrade the root pool to feature flags, SPA version 5000, and was not so

Today HTML help stopped working. The menu command "Help > Html help" usually brings up my default web browser (Opera 9.26), but now R gives the error Error: file association for 'doc\html\index.html' not available or invalid If I try the same menu command a second time, R crashes with the message The instruction at "0x7c9106c3" referenced memory at

Dear R-experts, Here below my reproducible R code. I want to add many straight lines to a plot using "abline" The last fit (fast Tau-estimator, color yellow) will not appear on the plot. What is going wrong ? Many thanks for your reply. ########## Y=c(2,4,5,4,3,4,2,3,56,5,4,3,4,5,6,5,4,5,34,21,12,13,12,8,9,7,43,12,19,21)
