similar to: Relative Mortality Risk second part

Hi everyone, We are looking for some data sets working with relative risk mortality. so, someone know where can I find the data.mgus dataset and the data.mgus? Using 1384 records from Minnesota. Thank! O__ ---- Jos? Bustos M. c/ /'_ --- Master Apllied Stat Program (*) \(*) -- University of Concepci?n

I am looking for the syntax to capture XML tags marked with /DescriptorName MajorTopicYN="Y"/ , but the combination of the internal space (between "Name" and "Major" and the embedded quote marks are defeating me. I can get all the "DescriptorName" tags, but these include both MajroTopicYN = "Y" and "N" variants. Any suggestions?

Hi all, I have installed Picasa on OSX 10.4 but I cannot navigate to the folders I store my photos in to get it to monitor them. Any ideas how I do this? Apologies if this isn't the right way to post or if it's not an appropriate topic - I have only delved into Wine because I really want to use Picasa instead of iPhoto. Many thanks, Sean Send instant messages to your online friends

Hi. I would like to print out a field of a vnode, but the argument to the function is of type vnode_t **. If I set "this->vpp" to arg2 in an entry function to zfs_lookup(), I''d like to retrieve the value of one of the fields of *(this->vpp) in the return function. Something like the below (but the syntax below is not right): printf("zfs_lookup:

A few days ago I loaded R version 1.4.1 to run on Windows 98 and haven't been able to find information on the GUI approach in the FAQs, R Reference Index, or Search Engine . Edit has an item that allows changing GUI preferences, and the Target path in the icon ends in Rgui.exe, so it appears that R for Windows does include using the GUI approach. In S-Plus I wrote a application with

Hello! I want to do a non-linear regression with 2 explanatory variables (something like : length ~ a * time * exp( b* temperature)), having a data set (length, time, temperature). Which function could I use (I tried nls but I think it doesn't work) Thanks a lot! Janice

Unfortunately that's not really an R question. I recommend that you read up on the statistical methods underneath. One that I'd wholeheartedly recommend is Prof. Harrell's `Regression Modeling Strategies'. [BTW, there are now two implementations of gam() in R: one in `mgcv', which is fairly different from that in `gam'. I'm guessing you're referring to the one

The labels on the x-axis are defaulting to scientific notation no matter how small cex.axis is. How can I override scientific notation to get the labels to print out as specified? Here is the code (UNIT here is 0.0105): plot(xm,yv,log="xy",ylim=c(0.1,20)/UNIT,xlim=c(0.004,20)*UNIT,xaxt="n",t ype="n") axis(1,

Hello. I am looking to see if performance data exists for on-disk dedup. I am currently in the process of setting up some tests based on input from Roch, but before I get started, thought I''d ask here. Thanks for the help, Janice

Hi folks I"ve downloaded and installed wine on RedHat 8, kernel 2.4.19 (and 20) The install for Mechwarrior 2 has run without errors. When I give it: wine .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Activision/Mech2/MECH2.EXE I get an error window saying: "You must insert the MECHWARRIOR 2 CD into your CD-ROM drive." Of course, its already there and the drive was mounted with the command

Hi, I have CentOS 4.4 with me. I want to change the default kernel during installation, from 2.6.9 to 2.6.15. I got myself a copy of vmlinuz and initrd.img from the RHEL AS 4.0 installation cd and copied it as vmlinuz-rhel and initrd-rhel.img respectively into the isolinux folder on the CentOS cd. I changed isolinux.cfg so that it would boot into my kernel. I then made a fresh new ISO and tried to

I am just beginning to use R 1.7.1 on Windows XP and can not do a simple scan of a .txt file with integer data separated by tabs. First I figured out that I need to open a connection to the file (which isn't mentioned in scan()). But now when I scan, I get "Read 0 items". What can I do?

Mates, The saga continues, but THANK GOD 'make revert' WORKS. Here is my problem. I am trying to compile 3.0.7 from source and install it on my Mandrake 7.2 box. The gcc compiler is 2.95.3. Here is what I have done: [stop samba] # ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-smbmount # make # make install # /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start Here is what I get: [root@Nemesis david]# tail

I have a mortality data over many years and I wish to plot the data and also add some smoother to clearly highlight the trend. How could I do that in R with base graphics or ggplot? I have the following sample data: require(lubridate) mdate<-seq(ymd('2000-01-01'),ymd('2010-12-31'), by = '1 day') death<- rnorm(4018, 80, 45) df<-cbind(mdate,death)

Dear R-users, I computed a simple coxph model and plotted survival over time with associated confidence intervals for 2 covariate levels (males and females). M1 <- coxph(survobject~sex, data=surv) M1 survsex <- survfit(survobject~sex,data=surv) summary(survsex) plot(survsex, conf.int=T, col=c("black","red"), lty = c(1,2), lwd=c(1,2), xlab="Time",

Dear all, I've used glm(family=binomial(link="logit")) several times, but now I think that a log link is more appropriate. I want to fit a model for probability of tree fall (TF)), with tree diameter (dbh) and soil moisure (soil) as predictors. A large number of trees have been checked every second year whether they stand up (0) or have fallen (1). I assume that the tree fall

Hi All, I am relatively new to R (took a class 2 yrs ago ...), and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction for a problem I'd like to solve in R : I would like to calculate the relative mortality of a particular impairment, relative to the standard population. I.e. I'm trying to find S_relative(t) in the eqn below : S_impar(t) = S_standard(t) * S_relative(t) where

Dear all, I'm trying reproduce an example of bioassays Yielding Concentration-Mortality Data particularly control - adjustment model from book Bioassay of Entomopathogenic Microbes and Nematodes chapter 7 with R. I used glm with family=binomial and link=probit, but I do not know how to implement parameter gamma (control mortality - mortality of the untreated control insect in this exaple)
