Can anyone show me how to add a log Pearson type III plot using the evdistq() command to an extreme value plot using the lmom package? Attached sample code below...

Dear R helpers,   I have a data of 2102 observations (consisting of 0's also), to which I am trying to fit Normal distribution using "lmom" pacakage. If I use Excel, its easy to estimate the parameters of Normal distribution as simple mean and standard devaition. The results I get if I use teh excel are as   Parameters of Normal distribution :-   Mean = 22986.44 and standard

Dear R-users, First, thank you to the developers for the very useful R-library RMySQL. While using this library a recieved an error message: RS-DBI driver: (could not run statement: Too many columns) The statement that generated the error was: dbWriteTable(dbcon, "simdataseries", template, overwrite = TRUE, row.names = FALSE ) I am assuming this is a RMySQL rather than MySQL limit.

The following paper may be of interest to some. The author is generous about sharing a recently revised version. <A HREF="http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=259648">http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=259648</A> [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I saw a Help e-mail related to MLE. Does R have a probability weighted method (PWM) estimator function? I can't seem to find anything on PWM, unless my eyes are playing trick on me. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I can successfully "check" a package with source under 2.5.1, including compiling source files and running examples with no errors or warnings. when I try with R2.6.2, I get make errors: making bayesmc.d from bayesmc.c make[3]:gcc-sjlj: Command not found etc. my gcc is version 3.4.2 I'm using Windows XP. Any thoughts? thanks! peter r ................................ Peter

Folks- I have developed a package which I am planning on posting to CRAN. I include examples for each of the 40 or so functions in the package. However, since the examples are non-trivial and the package is using MCMC simulation methods, it takes about 20 minutes to run the complete set of examples on a 2.8 Ghz windows PC. The R process reaches a high water mark of about 100 MB of memory as

1) L-moments: Does anyone know of any R code that will calculate these? (I'm aware that these can be calculated in S-Plus using the EnvironmentalStats for S-Plus module.) 2) Hosking & Wallis (1997): "Regional frequency analysis: an approach based on L-moments" Does anyone know of any code in either R or S-plus that implements the discordancy and homogeneity methods described

Hey, I have a set of income data which I'd like to fit to a gamma distribution. How can I estimate the two parameters of the gamma distribution for a vector, e.g. c(2039L, 2088L, 5966L, 2353L, 1966L, 2312L, 3305L, 2013L, 3376L, 3363L, 3567L, 4798L, 2032L, 1699L, 3001L, 2329L, 3944L, 2568L, 1699L, 4545L) I sense this will be a very easy one-liner, but my searching didn't come up with

I am trying to move our network from windows NT-2k to Samba /Linux. So far everything is great but there is one main obstacle; when I apply permissions to a Samba share via my W2K workstation, the permissions instantly disappear. This happens regardless of the owner / creator of file or the user / group permission I attempt to add. I have run 2.2.7, 2.2.8, and now 3.0 beta3. All three behave

Does anyone have information or know how I can find out what option this rpm was built with? ie with winbind on... I still seem to be having odd winbind / samba / acl problems (cannot get perms. modified via a Win2k station to stick). Regards, Matt Twigg

We have upgraded from Samba 2.2.7a to 2.2.8a. We have samba running our our two UNIX file servers, one is Solaris 8 and the other RedHat Linux 7.3. Samba was compiled as follows: configure --prefix=/opt/samba --with-acl-support --with-quotas Right now it doesn't looks like changing file/folder permissions are working from W2K. When we right click on a file/folder and go to the

Hi folks, I'm just learning how to use maps. As an initial foray, I'm mapping the states that have "duty to retreat" (blue) and "stand your ground" (red) self-defense standards.

Hello, We as an organization are going to use SFTP for our data transfer. Our requirement is to SFTP the file from IBM Mainframe (z/390) to Unix or Windows. Currently we are using FTP, which converts the character set from EBCIDIC to ASCII and also take care of CR and LF aspect. My question is, do the same feature is available in SFTP, where it smartly understand the source and destination

Hi folks, I have five imputed data sets and would like to apply the same recoding routines to each. I could do this sort of thing pretty easily in Stata using MIM, but I've decided to go cold turkey on other stats packages as a incentive for learning more about R. Most of the recoding is for nominal variables, like race, religion, urbanicity, and the like. So, for example, to recode race

Hello List, I am running a 3.0.24 server on redhat EL4. I have a user that has mapped a drive to his home directory on the server. When he copies a file from the share to a local disk location, desktop for example, it goes just fine. When he attempts to copy / move / cut and paste a file from one location on the share to another location in the same share, it will literally crash his local

I would like to create a binary package for Windows which when installed will give the user an option of whether to install one version or another.
