similar to: Coefficients of Logistic Regression from bootstrap - how to get them?

Thank you Frank and all for your advices. Here I attach the raw data from the Pawinski's paper. I have obtained permission from the corresponding Author to post it here for everyone. The only condition of use is that the Authors retain ownership of the data, and any publication resulting from these data must be managed by them. The dataset is composed as follows: patient number / MMF dose in

I think the argument supporting the use of bootstrap to determine coefficients, as opposed to just running linear regression on the whole dataset, is the comparison of Rsq and prediction errors between these two approaches - page 1502. There's a substantial difference in favor of the bootstrap approach. -- Michal J. Figurski Gustaf Rydevik wrote: > The url for the mentioned paper is

Hi, I understand bootstrap can be used to estimate 95% confidence interval for some statistics, e.g. variance, median, etc. I have someone suggesting that by resampling certain proportion of the total samples (e.g. 80%) without replacement, we can also get the estimate of confidence intervals. Here we have an example of 1000 obsevations, we would like to estimate 95% confidence intervals for odds

Dear R users, Does the results below make any sense? Can the the interval of the correlation coefficient be between *-1.0185* and -0.8265 at 95% confidence level?

Sometimes one might like to obtain pointwise bootstrap bias-corrected, accelerated (BCA) confidence intervals for a large number of statistics computed from a single dataset. For instance, one might like to get (so as to plot graphically) bootstrap confidence bands for the fitted values in a regression model. (Example: Chiu S et al., Early Acceleration of Head Circumference in Children with

Hello; Our survey is structured as : To be investigated area is divided into 6 regions, within each region, one urban community and one rural community are randomly selected, then samples are randomly drawn from each selected uran and rural community. The problems is that in urban/rural stratum, we only have one sample. In this case, how to do bootstrap? Any comments or hints are greatly

Hi folks, I'm trying to estimate bias-corrected percentile (BCP) confidence intervals on a vector from a simple for loop used for resampling. I am attempting to follow steps in Manly, B. 1998. Randomization, bootstrap and monte carlo methods in biology. 2nd edition., p. 48.

Hi, The following code, from Angelo Canty article on line "Resampling Methods in R: the boot Package, 2002", works fine for Angelo Canty using R 2.6.0 on Windows XP. It also works for me using R 1.2.1 and S-PLUS 2000 on Windows XP after installing the S-PLUS bootstrap library, with slight differences in my outputs. > library(boot) > library(survival) >

Hi, I have a coding problem. I have data pairs, and I want to calculate a parameter for the data pairs as a whole data set (so not using the information that thely are pairs) I am looking for bias in that certain parameter so I want to bootstrap these data pairs(!), and than calculate the parameter. I run into a coding problem. How should I define theta in order to resample the pairs, but than

Dear R-help, I am trying to impute missing data for the first time using R. The norm package seems to work for me, but the missing values that it returns seem odd at times -- for example it returns negative values for a variable that should only be positive. Does this matter in data analysis, and/or is there a way to limit the imputed values to be within the minimum and maximum of the actual

Dear R-Helpers, I am a novice in survival analysis. I have the following code: for (i in 3:12) print(coxph(Surv(time, status)~a[,i], data=a)) I used it to fit the Cox Proportional Hazard models separately for every available parameter (columns 3:12) in my data set - with intention to compare the Hazard Ratios. However, some of my variables are in range 0.1 to 1.6, others in range 5000 to

I think I am doing something wrong when I try to bootstrap R square obtained from lm. My code is included below. No matter how many times I run the simulation, I always get exactly the same result, the bias and std.error are always zero. I would think that these values should be non-zero. I would appreciate any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong, or perhaps what I fail to understand. R 2.1.0

Hi all, This is perhaps more a statistics question than an R question, but I hope it's OK anyhow. I have some data (see below) with the number of tests positive to subtype H1 of a virus, the number of tests postive to subtype H3, and the total number of tests. This is for two different groups, and the two subtypes are mutually exclusive. What is the best way to test if the proportion of H1

Dear R-helpers and graphics gurus, I have two problems with plotting confidence bands: 1. First is relatively simple. I am using the Passing-Bablok procedure to obtain "unbiased" regression coefficients. This procedure yields the "a" & "b" coefficient values along with their confidence intervals. I then plot the raw data with the regression line, but I would

Dear List I am using R with mcgv package to model spatial variation in density estimates of dorcas gazelle in Sinai. I have 59 points of data and 4 explanatory variables(distance from mountain edge, camel presence, Latitude & Longitude). I want to test the model fir via bootstraping. I have used the jacknife bootstraping but it have the limitation of allowing only 58 trials. I tried to use the

Dear stats experts: Me and my little brain must be missing something regarding bootstrapping. I understand how to get a 95%CI and how to hypothesis test using bootstrapping (e.g., reject or not the null). However, I'd also like to get a p-value from it, and to me this seems simple, but it seems no-one does what I would like to do to get a p-value, which suggests I'm not understanding

Dear all, I have read various descriptions of employing resampling techniques, such as the bootstrap, to estimate the uncertainties of the eigenvectors computed by PCA. When I try

I'm teaching a class and using R for the first time. We're talking about the bootstrap, and I've been trying to get R to replicate some simple bootstrap programs with no success. I'd like to be able to use the boot.ci function to produce confidence intervals (non-parametric) for some simple statistics, and this requires first creating a "boot" object. The boot

Dear R users, I?m student of Master in Statistic and Data analysis, in New University of Lisbon. And now i?m writting my dissertation in variance estimation.So i?m using Survey Package to compute the principal estimators and theirs variances. My data is from Incoming and Expendire Survey. This is stratified Multi-stage Survey care out by National Statistic Institute of Mozambique. My domain of

Hi, consider this one as an FYI, or a seed for further discussion. I am aware that many traps on sample() have been reported over the years. I know that these are also documents in help("sample"). Still I got bitten by this while writing sample(units, size=length(units)); where 'units' is an index (positive integer) vector. It works in all cases as expected (=I expect)
