Hello. I am not certain even how to search the archives for this particular question, so if there is an obvious answer, please smack me with a large halibut and send me to the URLs. I have been experimenting with fitting curves by using both maximum likelihood and maximum spacing estimation techniques. Originally, I have been writing distribution-specific functions in 'R' which work

Dear Prof. Thomas Yee I$B!G(Bm very interested in your R program VGAM. I tried below your data: # Nonparametric proportional odds model data(pneumo)pneumo = transform(pneumo, let=log(exposure.time))vgam(cbind(normal,mild,severe) ~ s(let), cumulative(par=TRUE), pneumo) However, the results by Version of VGAM are different; ----------The result by Version 0.7-7

Hi Folks, I wonderif someone who is familiar with the details of vglm in the VGAM package can assist me. I'm new to using it, and there doesn;t seem much in the documentation that's relevant to the question below. Say I have a vector x of 0/1 responses and another vector y of 0/1 responses, these in fact being a bivariate set of 0/1 responses equivalent to cbind(x,y). E.g.

Dear R-help gurus (and T.Yee, the VGAM maintainer) - I've been banging my head against the keyboard for too long now, hopefully someone can pick up on the errors of my ways... I am trying to use optim to fit a zero-inflated negative binomial distribution. No matter what I try I can't get optim to recognize my initial parameters. I think the problem is that dnbinom allows either

UseRs, actuar is a package for Actuarial Science. A rather preliminary version (0.1-3) of the package has been available on CRAN since February 2006. We now announce the immediate availability of version 0.9-2 sporting a large number of new features. Non actuaries behold! There can be some features of interest for you, especially those related to new probability distribution and to the

Hello R-Users, I have recently run into several problems using vgam() in the VGAM package. I am hoping someone might have some solutions... Briefly, I have been trying to fit GAM models for zero-altered negative binomial models. 1. When fitting smoothed parameters (e.g. s(X, df=2)) changing the degrees-of-freedom has no effect on the level of smoothing (e.g. number of knots for the

Hi, R-users Could someone help me to understand this following error. I'm using vglm function in VGAM package Best regards and thank you for your ehlp ######## mydata <- read.table("Data2_overruns.csv", sep =";", header = T, row.names=NULL) > attach(mydata) > > y <- mydata$cat.event > phase.vol <-mydata$phase.vol > pilote <- mydata$pilote

The symptom triggering this email is that an S4 summary method sometimes refuses to be invoked, even when a package is explicitly loaded, if the first load of the package is implicit. It may or may not be specific to 'summary' methods and/or the 'VGAM' package. I've sent to R-devel because (i) it looks like some kind of bug to me, but I'm not sure; (ii) it's not

sorry...its the same post but this time with subject dear all: I want try the vgam function in VGAM library, but I'm stucked since I can't define the weights. This is because I dont understand well the concept of "matrix-band" (even after read the reference card). I was wondering if someone have some tutorial examples of how to define weights on a matrix form, in VGAM. thank

I just discovered that when the VGAM package (not on CRAN) is loaded, glm() doesn't work. This is because VGAM defines a family function() which gets found by glm() in place of the family function from stats. Then VGAM:::family returns an object which doesn't have a $family component, (it has a component $vfamily). I thought namespaces should protect us from this happening? Kjetil --

Hi , I know this question has been asked twice in the past but to my knowldege, it still hasn't been solved. I am doing a zero inflated binomial model using the VGAM package, I need to obtain p values for my Tvalues in the vglm output. code is as follows > mod2=vglm(dmat~Season+Diel+Tidal.phase+Tidal.cycle,zibinomial, data=mp1) > summary(mod2) Call: vglm(formula = dmat ~ Season +

Dear, When i multiply the y of a regression by 10, I would expect that the coefficient would be multiply by 10 and the z value to stay constant. Here some reproducible code to support the case. *Ex 1* library(mvtnorm) library(VGAM) set.seed(1) x=rmvnorm(1000,sigma=matrix(c(1,0.75,0.75,1),2,2))

Hello R users, I have a puzzle with the VGAM package, on my first excursion into generalized additive models, in that this very nice package seems to want to do either more or less than what I want. Precisely, I have a 4-component outcome, y, and am fitting multinomial logistic regression with one predictor x. What I would like to find out is, is there a single nonlinear function f(x) which acts

Hi, I am trying to carry out a multinomial regression using the cumlogit link function. I have tried using the VGAM package, and have gotten some results... fit1 <- vgam(Y ~ X1 + X2 + X3 + X4, cumulative(link=logit,intercept.apply=FALSE,parallel=TRUE), data = data1 ) The problem arrises when I try to get the information out of the fitted object. I can

Hello everyone, using the VGAM package and the following code library(VGAM) bp1 <- vglm(cbind(daten$anzahl_b, daten$deckung_b) ~ ., binom2.rho, data=daten1) summary(bp1) coef(bp1, matrix=TRUE) produced this error message: error in object$coefficients : $ operator not defined for this S4 class I am bit confused because some day ago this error message did not show up and

Dear R-Users, I am learning how to use the package VGAM to do multinomial regressions. I have worked through the example provided by UCLA stats group: http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/r/dae/mlogit.htm However - what I would like to learn is how to use the constraint option. So in the example given in the link i would like to introduce a constraint that does not allow individuals of age less than

Hello, since I installed the package VGAM I have problems useing the predict for othere methods. for example I have a model from glm and polr the command predict(model) I get the error: unable to find an inherited method for function "predict", for signature "polr". Has perhaps anybody a solution, because Iwould need vglm and also other methods like tree in a loop. Thanks a

Hi all: I want to fit a multinomial logit model with VGAM package, however I cannot find a way to check the residuals since residuals(my_model) and resid(my_model) does not work. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Alex Brito [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi! R users I would like to ask you where could we find the VGAM Package. I don't find it in the list of packages.
