similar to: Fitted Value Pareto Distribution

I would like to fit a Pareto Distribution and I am using the following codes fit=vglm(ycf1 ~ 1, pareto1(location=alpha), trace=TRUE, crit="c") fitted(fit) But the fitted values turn out to be the same for each observation. I guess the problem is with "ycf1 ~ 1", I would be grateful if anyone can give me some advice on how to define the formula. Many thanks -- View this

I would like to fit a Pareto Distribution and I am using the following codes. First, I thought the fitted (fit1) should be the fitted value for the data, is it correct? As the result of the "fitted" turns out to be the same value. fit=vglm(ycf1 ~ 1, pareto1(location=alpha), trace=TRUE, crit="c") coef(fit, matrix=TRUE) summary(fit) fitted(fit) Secondly, how can I plot the

Hi, I am trying to write a function with the following codes and I would like it to return the values for "alpha beta para parab " seperately. Then I would like to use this funstion for "variable" with factor "a" and "b". But the result turns out to be a matrix with element like "Numeric,2" ... I guess they are just the values for

Hi All, could anybody help me to understand what is this error means ? mydata=read.table("C:/Documents and Settings/angieb/Desktop/CommercialGL/cl_ilf_claimdata.csv",header=TRUE,sep=",") > names(mydata) [1] "ILFTable" "liabLimit" "AnnAggLimit" "DedAmt" "Loss" "TIL" >

Dear All, I am trying to fit some data to a Pareto distribution and would like to estimate the parameters with the fitting. I have come across some options so far. Unfortunately I haven't managed to get any of them to make the right fits (as is evident when I check with the goodness of fit). One such option is: library(VGAM) b1 <- read.table(file("FitPareto_Values.txt",

Up to now, I have recognized problems with "gpd(..)", the function from the package "evir" I think that all these functions that estimate the parameters xi, beta for the GPD by given threshold mu use the function "optim(..)" ( gpd, fitgpd, ...) "Error" example: data1 <- rgpd(1000, xi= -1.5, mu=1000, beta=100) so the created poinnts take place in about

Anyone know how to get p-values for the t-values from the coefficients produced in vglm? Attached is the code and output ? see comment added to output to show where I need p-values + print(paste("********** Using VGAM function gamma2 **********")) + modl2<- vglm(MidPoint~Count,gamma2,data=modl.subset,trace=TRUE,crit="c") + print(coef(modl2,matrix=TRUE))

R-Experts: I am using the vglm function of the VGAM library to perform proportional odds ordinal logistic regression. The issue that I would like help with concerns the format in which the response variable must be provided for this function to work correctly. Consider the following example: ------ library(VGAM) library(MASS) attach(pneumo) pneumo # Inspect the format of the original dataset

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))

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

Hi All, I'm fitting an proportional odds model using vglm() from VGAM. My response variable is the severity of diseases, going from 0 to 5 (the severity is actually an ordered factor). The independent variables are: 1 genetic marker, time of medical observation, age, sex. What I *need* is a p-value for the genetic marker. Because I have ~1.5 million markers I'd rather not faffing

Dear useRs, upon request, the VGAM package (currently version 0.7-1) has been officially released on CRAN (the package has been at my website http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~yee/VGAM for a number of years now). VGAM implements a general framework for several classes of regression models using iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS). The key ideas are Fisher scoring, generalized linear and

Dear R user, I am a newcomer and need help concerning 'draw a random number for a restricted area of a prareto distribution'. (1) For estimation of pareto distribution: >http://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/27426/how-do-i-fit-a-set-of-data-to-a-pareto-distribution-in-r< We calculate the pareto distribution (parameter estimation) as follows: pareto.MLE <- function(X) { n

Hi there, I have a dataset from a longitudinal study with a lot of drop-out. I want to implement the inverse probability weighting method by Robins 1995 JASA paper "Analysis of semiparametric regression models for repeated outcomes in the presence of missing data". Does anyone know if there is a package to do it in R (or other software)? Thanks a lot! Lei

Hi, guys, I need to simulate Pareto distribution. But I found 'rpareto' didn't exist in R. And it seems that Pareto distribution don't have mathematical relationships with other distributions. What can I do? Thanks a lot. Ni --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all, I am trying to simulate from truncated Pareto distribution. I know there is a package called PtProcess for Pareto distribution...but it is not for truncated one. Can anyone please help me with this? Thanks in advance. Cassie [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

In https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_distribution, it is clear what the parameters are for the pareto distribution: *xmin *the scale parameter and *a* the shape parameter. I am using rmutil to generate random deviates from a pareto distribution. It says in the documentation that the probabilty density of the pareto distribution The Pareto distribution has density f(y) = s (1 + y/(m

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
