Hi, I've a data frame like this: > as.data.frame(cbind(rnorm(1:12),rnorm(1:12))) V1 V2 1 -1.30849402 -0.52094136 2 0.96157302 0.76217871 3 -0.44223351 -1.72630871 4 -0.10432438 -1.04732942 5 -1.38748914 0.95877311 6 -0.63965975 0.65494811 7 -0.24058318 0.19496830 8 -0.11172988 1.01680655 9 0.08065333 0.22168589 10 0.25196536 0.84619914 11

Dear R users: I am not entirely convinced that clogit gives me the correct result when I use pspline() and maybe you could help correct me here. When I add a constant to my covariate I expect only the intercept to change, but not the coefficients. This is true (in clogit) when I assume a linear in the logit model, but the same does not happen when I use pspline(). If I did something similar

Hi - I am using polr. I can get a result from polr fit by calling result.plr <- polr(formula, data=mydata, method="probit"); However, from the 'result.plr', how can I access standard error of the estimated coefficients as well as the t statistics for each one of them? What I would like to do ultimately is to see which coefficients are not significant and try to refit the

Dear List: First, many thanks to those who offered assistance while I constructed code for the simulation. I think I now have code that resolves most of the issues I encountered with memory. While the code works perfectly for smallish datasets with small sample sizes, it arouses a windows-based error with samples of 5,000 and 250 datasets. The error is a dialogue box with the following: "R

Hi - I am trying to fit sem model with intercepts. Here is what I have in my model. Exogeneous vars: x1 (continous), x2 (ordinal), x3 (ordinal), x4(continuous) Endogeneous vars: y1 (continuous), y2 (ordinal), y3 (ordinal) SEM model: x1 -> eta1; x2 -> eta1; x3 -> eta2; x4 -> eta2; eta1 -> y1, eta1 -> y2, eta2 -> y2, eta2 -> y3 However, in these arrow models, I

Hi, I obtained all the coefficients that I need from polr. However, I'm wondering how I can obtain the standard error of each estimated coefficient? I saved the Hessian and do something like summary(polrObj), I don't see any standard error like when doing regression using lm. Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you! - adschai

Hi - I use stepAIC to automatically select the model. The stepAIC was applied on polr as follow:objPolr <- polr(formula=myformula, data=dat, method=METHOD);objPolr.step <- stepAIC(objPolr, trace=T);Then R complaints that it doesn't know about 'dat' when it executes the second line. Below is the exact error that I got when executing the stepAIC line above:Error in eval(expr,

Hi, I encounter a situation where I have a list whose element is a column matrix. Says, $'1' [,1] 1 2 3 $'2' [,1] 4 5 6 Is there fast way to collapse the list into a matrix like a cbind operation in this case? Meaning, the result should be a matrix that looks like: [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 4 [2,] 2 5 [3,] 3 6 I can loop through all elements and do

Hi - Classic question that I tried to look up online and couldn't find a clear answer. It seems that I can have R to act as a server. But I never know how this works. Would anyone please provide an example or introduction material where I can learn about this? I'm trying to build an environment where computation are distributed/delegated among different servers requested whenever I need.

Hi - I'm quite wondering what makes the lag operator does not work for my time series. I have a time series of length about 200000 elements. I would like to have a lag 1 of this time series. I did the following: logprice = log(price, base=exp(1)) # this is my log price which is a vector of price time series of length 200000 ts_logprice = as.ts(logprice, frequency=1) # convert to time series

Hi - I am confronting a situation where I have a set of structural equation and one or two of my responses are multinomial. I understand that sem would not deal with the unordered response. So I am thinking of the following two ways: 1. Expanding my response to a new set of binary variables corresponding to each label of my multinomial response. Then use each of these as a separate response in my

Hi - I tried to get some answer before but there seems to have no one response. My question is that I have a class like below definition: setClass("DBManager", representation(channel="RODBC")) My purpose of the conn slot is to hold a channel to database connection which is returned by a command like: channel <- odbcConnect("DB", uid="user",

Hi, I have a class definition like this: setClass("foo", representation(members="numeric"), prototype(members=c())) I intend my class to have members, a slot whose value should be a vector of integer. When I initialize this class, I don't have any member yet. So my member is blank. But if I run the above definition into R, it will complain that my slot members is

Hi, I'm new to lattice. So please kindly be patient with me. I'm trying to arrange groups of levelplots into 3 rows as follows: Row1: Probabilities as functions of x and y, and conditioned on an event factor vector factor("a","b","c") Row2: Number of days as functions of x and y, and conditioned on, again the same event

Hi, Sorry that I have many questions today. I am using svm function on about 180,000 points of training set. It takes very long time to run. However, I would like it to spit out something to make sure that the run is not dead in between. Would you please suggest anyway to do so? And is there anyway to speed up the performance of this svm function? Thank you. - adschai

Hi, I have a question around how to build data structure in R. I have to implement a tree structure of data. I'm wondering if R already has something like a tree where I can extend from or I need to start from scratch. If so, what would be the most effective way to represent parent and child node relationship? I realize that R is not based on pointer so it's quite a different paradigm for

Hi, I am using tsls function from sem package to estimate a model which includes large number of data. Among its predictors, it has a nominal data which has about 10 possible values. So I expand this parameter into 9-binary-value predictors with the coefficient of base value equals 0. I also have another continuous predictor. The problem is that, whenever I run the tsls, I will get 'System

Hi I have the code like I show below. The problem here is that I have a setReplacementMethod to set the value of my class slot. However, this function doesn't work when I call it within another function definition (declared by setMethod) of the same class. I do not understand this behavior that much. I'm wondering how to make this work? Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I never use cobweb before and I'm quite new to this. I have a couple of questions around the cobweb implementation in R Weka. If you could supply answer or insight, I would really appreciate. 1. From Fisher's paper in 1987, it seems that Cobweb only deals with nominal data. In R Weka cobweb, is it allowed to accommodate real/continuous value? 2. My understanding is that Cobweb

Hi,I have a frustrating problem from vista that I wonder if anyone has come across the same problem. I wrote a script that involves long computational time (although, during the calculation, it spits out text on the gui to notify me the progress of the calculation periodically). Windows vista always stopped my calculation and claimed that 'Rgui is stop-working. Windows is checking for
