Hi all, I appreciate the help this list has given me before. I have a question which has been perplexing me. I have been working on doing a Bayesian calculating inserting studies sequentially after using a non-informative prior to get a meta-analysis type result. I created a function using three iterations of this, my code is below. I insert prior mean and precision (I add precision manually

Folks, I wonder if anything could be said about the distribution of a random variate x, where x = N(0,1)/N(0,1) Obviously x is pathological because it could be 0/0. If we exclude this point, so the set is {x/(0/0)}, does x have a well defined distribution? or does it exist a distribution that approximates x. (The case could be generalized of course to N(mu1, sigma1)/N(mu2, sigma2) and one

I fitted a gaussian mixture to my financial data. The data can be found here: http://uploadeasy.net/upload/32xzq.rar I look at the density with plot(density(dat),col="red",lwd=2) this has a skew of library(e1071) skewness(dat) -0.1284311 Now, I fit a gaussian mixture according to: f(l)=πϕ(l;μ1,σ21)+(1−π)ϕ(l;μ2,σ22) with:

Dear R users, I would like to sample from a mixture distribution p1*f(x1)+p2*f(x2). I usually sample variates from both distributions and weight them with their respective probabilities, but someone told me that was wrong. What is the correct way? Vumani

Hi, I am currently working on fitting a mixture density to financial data. I have the following data: http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=00083355432555420222 I want to fit a mixture density of two normal distributions. I have the formula: f(l)=πϕ(l;μ1,σ21)+(1−π)ϕ(l;μ2,σ22) my R code is: normalmix<-normalmixEM(dat,k=2,fast=TRUE) pi<-normalmix$lambda[1] mu1<-normalmix$mu[1]

For several years, I have been using Splus to analyze an ongoing series of datasets that have a bimodal distribution. I have used the following functions, in particular the ms() function, to estimate the parameters: two means, two standard deviations, and one proportion. Here is the code I've been using in S: btmp.bi <- function(vec, p, m1, m2, sd1, sd2) {

Dear R listers, I have a very annoying problem using nlm(). I want to find the minimizer of my target function, if written in \LaTeX is f(\mu1,\mu2,\sigma1,\sigma2) = \sum_i^n( w_ig_t(z_i) ), where g_t(z) is a pdf of bivariate normal distribution and z_i is my samples. I cannot get the estimation result generated by nlm(), and I got the following errors " Error in

Dear R-Users, I have a large number of data(54000) and the field of data is 50 to 2.0e9. I want to use normalmixEM (package:mixtools) to fit them in finite mixture narmal distributions,but get some mistakes.I don't know which steps make the error.

Hi, everyone, I am a newbie on R. Now I want to do image pixel classification by random forest. But I has not a clear understanding on random forest. Here is some question: As for an image, for example its size is 512x512 and has only one variable -- gray level. The histogram of the image looks like mixture Gaussian Model, say Gauss distribution (u1,sigma1), (u2,sigma2),(u3,sigma3). And a

Hi, I would like to simulate data with a binary outcome and a set of predictors that are correlated. I want to be able to fix the number of event (Y=1) vs. non-event (Y=0). Thus, I fix this and then simulate the predictors. I have 2 questions: 1. When the predictors are continuous, I can use mvrnorm(). However, if I have continuous, ordinal and binary predictors, I'm not sure how to simulate

Hi, I have a bivariate longitudinal dataset. As an example say, i have the data frame with column names var1 var2 Unit time trt (trt represents the treatment) Now suppose I want to fit a joint model of the form for the *i* th unit var1jk = alpha1 + beta1*timejk + gamma1* trtjk + delta1* timejk:trtjk + error1jk var2 = alpha2 + beta2*timejk + gamma2* trtjk + delta2* timejk:trtjk +

I'm running some multi-level binomial models with lme4 and have a question regarding the estimated random effects. Suppose I have nested data e.g. clinic and then patient within clinic. The standard deviations of the random effects at each level are roughly equal in a model for real life data. Attention then turns to examining the individual random effects at each level. I'm extracting

Hello, I am trying to do a fit a loglikelihood function with Multivariate distribution via copulas with fitMdvc. The problem is that it doesn't recognize that my beta is a vector of km parameter and when I try to run it it say that the length of my initial values is not the same as the parameter. Can somebody guide me where my mistake is. Thanks, Elisa. #################################

Hi, I would really appreciate if I could get some help here. I'm using nlm to minimize my negative log likelihood function. What I did is as follows: My log likelihood function (it returns negative log likelihood) with 'gradient' attribute defined inside as follows: # ==========Method definition====================== logLikFunc3 <- function(sigma, object, totalTime) { y <-
