similar to: model II regression - how do I do it?

Hi, I have been trying to use the new .parallel argument with the most recent version of plyr [1] to speed up some tasks. I can run the example in the NEWS file [1], and it seems to be working correctly. However, R will only use a single core when I try to apply this same approach with ddply(). 1. http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/plyr/NEWS Watching my CPUs I see that in both cases

Hi, is there a function in R to convert data read with read.shape and which is originally in UTM coordinates into longitude / latitude coordinates? I found the convUL() function from the PBSmapping package but I have no idea how I could apply that to the read.shape object. Many thanks, Werner __________________________________________________ Do sragenden Schutz gegen Massenmails.

Hello: I would like to superimpose vector polygons (state outlines) from a Shape file on top of a satellite image, imported into a SpatialGridDataFrame from GEOTIFF via gdal_translate and readGDAL. When I plot polygon and point shape files in R, into SpatialPointDataFrame and SpatialPolygonDataFrame, the two feature sets line up geographically, so it seems logical that a SpatialGridDataFrame

Hi, I am trying to use quantile regression to perform weighted-comparisons of the median across groups. This works most of the time, however I am seeing some odd output in summary(rq()): Call: rq(formula = sand ~ method, tau = 0.5, data = x, weights = area_fraction) Coefficients: Value Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|) (Intercept) 45.44262 3.64706 12.46007

Hi, Is anyone on the list familiar with an R implementation of Piper Diagrams? Example: http://faculty.uml.edu/nelson_eby/89.315/IMAGES/Figure%209-78.jpg I am thinking that two calls to triax.plot (plotrix) along with some kind of affine-transformed standard plot would do the trick. Not so sure about the final layout, or a nice generalized version for something like lattice. Cheers, Dylan

Hi, Are there any functions in R that could be used to estimate the phase-shift between two semi-sinusoidal vectors? Here is what I have tried so far, using the spectrum() function -- possibly incorrectly: # generate some fake data, normalized to unit circle x <- jitter(seq(-2*pi, 2*pi, by=0.1), amount=pi/8) # functions defining two out-of-phase phenomena f1 <- function(x)

Hi, I have fit a series of ols() models, by group, in this manner: l <- ols(y ~ rcs(x, 4)) ... where the series of 'x' values in each group is the same, however knots are not always identical between groups. The result is a table of 'coefs' derived from the ols objects, by group: group Intercept top top' top'' 1 6.864 0.01 2.241 -2.65

Hi, Is there a simple way to suppress the plotting of polygon boundaries with spplot() ? # simple list of 12 colors cols <- brewer.pal(12, "Paired") # plot pile of polygons, with 12 classes: spplot(x, zcol='class2', col.regions=cols, scales=list(draw=T), xlab="Easting (m)", ylab="Northing (m)") ... seems to work well. However the polygon boundaries

Hi, I am curious about how to interpret the results of a polynomial regression-- using poly(raw=TRUE) vs. poly(raw=FALSE). set.seed(123456) x <- rnorm(100) y <- jitter(1*x + 2*x^2 + 3*x^3 , 250) plot(y ~ x) l.poly <- lm(y ~ poly(x, 3)) l.poly.raw <- lm(y ~ poly(x, 3, raw=TRUE)) s <- seq(-3, 3, by=0.1) lines(s, predict(l.poly, data.frame(x=s)), col=1) lines(s,

Hi, How would one go about determining if the slope terms from an analysis of covariance model are different from eachother? Based on the example from MASS: library(MASS) # parallel slope model l.para <- lm(Temp ~ Gas + Insul, data=whiteside) # multiple slope model l.mult <- lm(Temp ~ Insul/Gas -1, data=whiteside) # compare nested models: anova(l.para, l.mult) Analysis of Variance

Hi, Running the following example from ?Predict() throws an error I have never seen before: set.seed(1) x1 <- runif(300) x2 <- runif(300) ddist <- datadist(x1,x2); options(datadist='ddist') y <- exp(x1+ x2 - 1 + rnorm(300)) f <- ols(log(y) ~ pol(x1,2) + x2) p1 <- Predict(f, x1=., conf.type='mean') Error in paste(nmc[i], "=", if (is.numeric(x))

Hi All, I'm trying to automate a data summary using summary or describe from the HMisc package. I want to stratify my data set by patient_type. I was hoping to do something like: Describe(myDataFrame ~ patient_type) I can create data subsets and run the describe function one at a time, but there's got to be a better way. Any suggestions?

Hi, I recently upgraded to R 2.9.0 on linux x86. After doing so, I switched to the RPostgreSQL package for interfacing with a postgresql database. I am using postgresql 8.3.7. A query that works from the postgresql terminal is causing a segfault when executed from R. My sessionInfo, the error message, and the R code used to generate the error are listed below. I have noticed that a

Greetings, I am a bit confused by the results returned by the functions: cohen.kappa {concord} classAgreement {e1071} when using a two-way table. for example, if I have an matrix A, and a similar matrix B (same dimensions), then: matrix A and B can be found: http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/drupal/files/a_40.txt http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/drupal/files/b_40.txt A <-

Hi, I need help to perform a Shapiro.test on a data frame, I know that this test works only with vector but I guess there most be a way to permor it on a data frame instead of vactor by vector (i.e. I've got 40 variables to analyze and its kinda annoying to do it one by one) Thanks to anyone that can help me.

I have a pretty big similarity matrix (2870x2870). I will produce even bigger ones soon. I am using PAM to generate clusters. The desired number of output clusters is a PAM input parameter. I do not know a-priopri what is the best clusters layout . I resorted to the silhouette test. It takes forever as I have to run PAM with all possible numbers of clusters. I wonder whether there is some faster

I am wondering if anybody here have a simple example in R for Naive Bayes. For example, I can do k-means clustering on the "iris" data - data(iris) cl <- kmeans(iris[,1:4], 3) cl$cluster cbind(1:150,iris$Species) =========== But how to do Naive Bayes classification in the same "iris" data?

Rers: What is the preferred library/function for doing stratified random sampling from a dataset, given I want to control the number of samples (rather than the proportion of samples) per strata?

Hi, I just wanted to check whether there is a clustering package available for ordinal data. My data looks something like: #1 #2 #3 #4..... A B C D... D B C A... D C A A... where each column represents a sample, and each row some ordinal values. I would like to cluster such that similar samples appear together. thanks! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
