Per http://rwiki.sciviews.org/doku.php?id=developers:projects:gsoc2010 -- and http://rwiki.sciviews.org/doku.php?id=developers:projects:gsoc2010:syrfr -- I am applying to mentor the "Symbolic Regression for R" (syrfr) package for the Google Summer of Code 2010. I propose the following test which an applicant would have to pass in order to qualify for the topic: 1. Describe each of the

We have extracted parameters from physiological measurements by fitting SSlogis-like curves with nlsList and nlme. We presented residuals plot in a paper, but a referee argues that these cannot be included (too technical), and r-square values should be given instead to compare the goodness of fit with those of other authors. I remember that 30 years ago in my stat 101, I learned that r-square is

Dear R and lme4 users- I am trying to fit a mixed-effects model, with the glmer function in lme4, to right-skewed, zero-inflated, non-normal data representing understory grass and forb biomass (continuous) as a function of tree density (indicated by leaf-area). Thus, I have tried to specify a Gamma distribution with a log-link function but consistently receive an error as follows: >

I am confused by the logic of renaming: # Rename individual list items? Empl<-list(employee="Anna",spouse="Fred") names(Empl)<-c("empl","spo") names(Empl) #[1] "empl" "spo" # worked like a charm... but names(Empl[1])<-"newempl" # no error message, yet .... names(Empl) #[1] "empl" "spo" #

Is there an easy way to remove data frame columns by name instead of by index? The following gives the idea remove<-c("subj","drug") data[-remove] I found a solution with a few evals and substitutes, similar to that used in reshapeLong, but there must be an easier way out.

Using a formula converted with as.formula with lme leads to an error message. Same works ok with lm, and with lme and a fixed formula. # demonstrates problems with lme and as.formula demo<-data.frame(x=1:20,y=(1:20)+rnorm(20),subj=as.factor(rep(1:2,10))) demo.lm1<-lme(y~x,data=demo,random=~1|subj) print(summary(demo.lm1)) newframe<-data.frame(x=1:5,subj=rep(1,5))

Dear R-Listers, to measure the psychometric curve of pitch discrimination, one sequentially presents two tones of slightly different pitch to an observer (animal will do), and asks "which is higher". The pschometric curve is the fraction of correct responses plotted against the pitch difference. It passes through 50% (pure guessing) at zero and normally approaches 100% at large

Dear friends of nlme, Running quinModel (Pinheiro/Bates page 380) on R (current release, windows) gives: Nonlinear mixed-effects model fit by maximum likelihood Model: conc ~ quinModel(Subject, time, conc, dose, interval, lV, lKa, lCl) Data: Quinidine Log-likelihood: -497 Fixed: lV + lKa + lCl ~ 1 lV lKa lCl 5.382 -0.273 2.470 Random effects: Formula: list(lV ~ 1, lCl ~ 1)

deriv seems to have problems with a minus-sign before a bracket. Below are four examples of the same function, the top one is wrong, all others are correct (hopefully).

I have problem getting the concept of a nested fixed variable into the nlme scheme. I fear the question is very stupid. In the past I had asked this before, and never got a reply (in other cases, the response was within hours). I also checked the S-list, where several similar enquiries of other people are orphaned. We have a cross-over design, where patient are treated two weeks with placebo,

Dear all, I am currently analyzing count data from a hierarchical design, and I?ve tried to follow the suggestions for a correct estimation of p-values as discusssed at R-Wiki (http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=guides:lmer-tests&s=lme%20and%20aov). However, I have the problem that my model only consists of parameters with just 1 d.f. (intercepts, slopes), so that the

Hi Dieter, Sorry my mistake. I wanted to convert them into Decimal (not Hexadecimal).

Hi Dieter and R community: I tried both of these three versions with ylim as suggested, none work: I am getting only single (pch = 16) not overlayed (pch =3) everytime. *vs 1* require(lattice) xyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width | Species , data= iris, panel= function(x, y, subscripts) { panel.xyplot(x, y, pch=16, col = "green4", ylim = c(0, 10)) panel.lmline(x, y, lty=4, col =

I am trying to duplicate the example by Spencer Graves in the wiki, using lmer with the Nozzle data. http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=guides:lmer-tests However the Chisq value and the fitAB values that are calculated are different compared to those in the example. I also get a warning message when I attempt the fitAB. Does anyone have any guidance as to why this might happen and how

I created a report with Sweave today, that displayed perfectly on screen, but crashed both Adobe Pro 9.3.1 and Adobe Reader 9.0 on Windows 7. Output with Foxit Reader was flawless. I was able to reproduce a "minimal" example, which is not really minimal but the smallest I could get after 2 hours of wasting paper. Required: latticeExtra calling both panel.xyplot(...) # both

Dear List, assume I want to make a minor local change in a package that is supplied as .rda. For example, I want to get rid of the non-verbose-protected "Iteration" message in GLMM/lme4. Probably I have to load / change / save the package, but could someone help me to get the syntax right? Dieter Menne

Dear friends of lattice, I know how to position trellis plots with print(...,split,more=T) or (...position). Sometimes I wish I had something like the old "par(mfcol=2, mfrow=3)" mechanism, where the next free viewport is automatically chosen. I tried fiddling with grid-viewports, but could not find an easy solution. Did I miss something? Dieter Menne

Dear List, I have a logical data frame with NA's and a grouping factor, and I want to calculate the % TRUE per column and group. With an indexed database, result are mainly limited by printout time, but my R-solution below let's me wait (there are about 10* cases in the real data set). Any suggestions to speed this up? Yes, I could wait for the result in real life, but just curious if I
