Hallo, does a package for Matlab exist in R? If yes, where can I find it and how can I install it under R? Thanks, Corinna

Dear colleagues can somebody help me by showing how we can compute m-estimators in R? thanks Dr. Iasonas Lamprianou Assistant Professor (Educational Research and Evaluation) Department of Education Sciences European University-Cyprus P.O.

Dear R help list members, I am experiencing difficulty in trying to generate a subscript '2' in an axis label. Although I can get the '2' into a subscript using expression(), R then forces me to leave at least one space between the '2' and the following character. My label is supposed to read 'N2O concentration (ppm)', and the space between the '2' and

hi all, is there a cd-rom image with a full R pre-installation which I can give to my students so that if they want to run R on their computer, they will be able to run it from the cd-rom without having to install it on their computer. That way, they can have a 'protable' R package installation in their bags, and they can use it on any machine. Is this possible? Dr. Iasonas Lamprianou

Dear all I have a factor variable which holds values like "Engineer", "Doctor", "Teacher" etc. I would like to collapse those categories so that Teachers and Sociologists form one category named "Teach & Soc" etc. However, I do not know how I can do it. Recoding does not seem to work. Thank you Dr. Iasonas Lamprianou Assistant Professor

Hi all, does anyone have any practical examples of how this command can be used in prettyR? add.value.labels(x,value.labels) I mean, can we have the SPSS style of using numbers and/or labels if we want to? Thank you for your time Jason Dr. Iasonas Lamprianou Assistant Professor (Educational Research and Evaluation) Department of Education Sciences European University-Cyprus P.O. Box 22006

Dear colleagues, i am carrying out an ordinal regression model. I try it on SPSS but I "flirt" with R as well. I have a few questions. 1. What is the most reliable/tested/trusted package for ordinal regression in the R world? 2. Also, I have a statistical question. What is the danger of having to many 'empty cells' in ordinal regression? How many empty cells are too many? Do

Dear all, i have spent a lot of time trying to solve this problem, but I am sure that there must be a simple solution. So, as a last resort, I am coming back to you again. I have a dataset with some (almost random) values in many variables. Lets say that the dataset represents the scores of students to test questions. What I need to do is to sum the scores for each student. However, wherever

Dear all I have found that the two "equivalent" commands do not produce the same results. 1. (I wrote this command by hand, this is what I would do usually) >summary(aov(eduyrs ~ cntry * edf, data=ESS1)) Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value Pr(>F) cntry 1 257 256.65 21.2251 4.243e-06 *** edf 4 11010 2752.42 227.6296 <

Dear friends, two years ago (as I found on the web) Paul sent the following message but I was not able to find if he got an answer. Today I have the same question and it would be great if I could find out that this test has been implemented (somehow) in R. Please do not confuse it with the Brown-Forsythe test of equality of variances. Thank you: I've been searching around for a function for

Dear all, I am running a logistic regression and this is the output: glm(formula = educationUniv ~ brncntr, family = binomial) Deviance Residuals: Min 1Q Median 3Q Max # ???? ????? ?? ???????? -0.8825 -0.7684 -0.7684 1.5044 1.6516 Coefficients: Estimate Std.

Doea anyone know how to compute components of variance analysis? For example, I have the score of pupils on a test. Each pupil belongs to a school and within each school I may have several classes? How can I estimate the variance of the pupils, schools, classes and the errror variance? Any examples? Any help will be appreciated. Jason Dr. Iasonas Lamprianou Department of Education The

Dear all, I am looking for ways to compute standardized logistic regression coefficients. I found papers describing at least 6 different ways to standardize logistic regression coefficients. I also found a very old (Thu May 12 21:50:36 CEST 2005) suggestion by Frank E Harrell (one of the colleagues who frequently contribute on this list) saying... Design doesn't implement those because they

Hi I am using R version 2.4.1. How can I upgrade to version 2.5 without having to install all the packages again?

Dear list, Is there an exact formula / safe rule of thumb that allows one to express the value of --max-ppsize as a function of the value of getOption("expressions") ? ?options tells "If you increase it [the expressions option], you may also want to start R with a larger protection stack". Motivation is to determine stack size of a Java vm used to launch R with a given

Does anyone know if the lmer function of lme4 works fine for unbalanced designs? I have the examination results of 1000 pupils on three subjects, one score every term. So, I have three scores for English (one for every term), three scores for maths etc. However, not everybody was examined in maths, not everybody was examined in English etc, but everybody was in effect examined on four subjects. I

Dear all, I am doing a social network analysis using ergm. I import a rectangular matrix of data and then I build a network using the following command: ng <-network(mat,directed=FALSE) I then attach vertex names using commands like this: set.vertex.attribute(ng,"SchoolType",mSchType) where SchoolType can take six different/unique values. Then, I run ergm models successfully using

Dear all (a)in SPSS PASW there is a 'split file' command is repeats the same analysis for all sub-groups. Is there a split file equivalent in R? (b) Is there a package in R that will compute immediately statistics like Hosmer and Lemeshow Test, pseudo-R squares etc without my intervention? I am mostly interested to find easy solutions for my students. They are not

Hi everybody does anyone know how I can run ANOVA post-hoc tests using R commander or R in general? Thank you Dr. Iasonas Lamprianou

I have a data frame with three columns, one coded as a factor. I would like to separate my data out into separate data frames according to the factor level. Below is a simple example to illustrate. I can get R to return the data in the correct format but cannot work out how to get separate data frames. I am a newcommer to programming in R so am not sure what I am missing! Thanks, Emily
