similar to: VGAM package released on CRAN

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

Thanks for helping me out with the thing of quotation marks. I finally could save time running programs at the university and home. One additional question for all of you. I'm starting to be familiar with multinomial regression models. Actually I'm doing some exercise with the pneumo data that appears in Faraway library. The database has 24 observations and I want to study the probability

Dear R-Users, I am learning how to use the package VGAM to do multinomial regressions. I have worked through the example provided by UCLA stats group: http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/r/dae/mlogit.htm However - what I would like to learn is how to use the constraint option. So in the example given in the link i would like to introduce a constraint that does not allow individuals of age less than

Hi, I am trying to carry out a multinomial regression using the cumlogit link function. I have tried using the VGAM package, and have gotten some results... fit1 <- vgam(Y ~ X1 + X2 + X3 + X4, cumulative(link=logit,intercept.apply=FALSE,parallel=TRUE), data = data1 ) The problem arrises when I try to get the information out of the fitted object. I can

Hello, since I installed the package VGAM I have problems useing the predict for othere methods. for example I have a model from glm and polr the command predict(model) I get the error: unable to find an inherited method for function "predict", for signature "polr". Has perhaps anybody a solution, because Iwould need vglm and also other methods like tree in a loop. Thanks a

Hi, R-users Could someone help me to understand this following error. I'm using vglm function in VGAM package Best regards and thank you for your ehlp ######## mydata <- read.table("Data2_overruns.csv", sep =";", header = T, row.names=NULL) > attach(mydata) > > y <- mydata$cat.event > phase.vol <-mydata$phase.vol > pilote <- mydata$pilote

sorry...its the same post but this time with subject dear all: I want try the vgam function in VGAM library, but I'm stucked since I can't define the weights. This is because I dont understand well the concept of "matrix-band" (even after read the reference card). I was wondering if someone have some tutorial examples of how to define weights on a matrix form, in VGAM. thank

Hello R-Users, I have recently run into several problems using vgam() in the VGAM package. I am hoping someone might have some solutions... Briefly, I have been trying to fit GAM models for zero-altered negative binomial models. 1. When fitting smoothed parameters (e.g. s(X, df=2)) changing the degrees-of-freedom has no effect on the level of smoothing (e.g. number of knots for the

Hello everyone, using the VGAM package and the following code library(VGAM) bp1 <- vglm(cbind(daten$anzahl_b, daten$deckung_b) ~ ., binom2.rho, data=daten1) summary(bp1) coef(bp1, matrix=TRUE) produced this error message: error in object$coefficients : $ operator not defined for this S4 class I am bit confused because some day ago this error message did not show up and

Hi all: I want to fit a multinomial logit model with VGAM package, however I cannot find a way to check the residuals since residuals(my_model) and resid(my_model) does not work. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Alex Brito [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi! R users I would like to ask you where could we find the VGAM Package. I don't find it in the list of packages. Thak you for your help Lassana KOITA Etudes de S?curit? et d'Exploitation a?roportuaires / Safety Study & Statistical analysis Service Technique de l'Aviation Civile (STAC) / Civil Aviation Technical Department Direction G?n?rale de l'Aviation Civile (DGAC) /

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 just discovered that when the VGAM package (not on CRAN) is loaded, glm() doesn't work. This is because VGAM defines a family function() which gets found by glm() in place of the family function from stats. Then VGAM:::family returns an object which doesn't have a $family component, (it has a component $vfamily). I thought namespaces should protect us from this happening? Kjetil --

Dear R Helpers This is the R code (which I have slightly changed) I got in VGAM package for estimating the parameters of FRECHET. _________________________________________________________________ y = rfrechet(n <- 100, shape=exp(exp(0))) # (A) fit3 = vglm(y ~ 1, frechet3(ilocation=0), trace=TRUE, maxit=155) # (B) coef(fit3, matrix=TRUE) # (C)

Hello R users, I am performing a multinomial logit regression and would like to constrain a few model coefficients to be equal. Here is my model: multi <- vglm(case123con ~ SNP_A1+SNP_A2+age, multinomial, work.analy) where case123con is a four level categorical variable (case 1, case 2, case 3, control) and SNP_A1 and SNP_A2 are indicator functions (yes/no). The output of this

Hi , I know this question has been asked twice in the past but to my knowldege, it still hasn't been solved. I am doing a zero inflated binomial model using the VGAM package, I need to obtain p values for my Tvalues in the vglm output. code is as follows > mod2=vglm(dmat~Season+Diel+Tidal.phase+Tidal.cycle,zibinomial, data=mp1) > summary(mod2) Call: vglm(formula = dmat ~ Season +

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))

Hi Folks, I wonderif someone who is familiar with the details of vglm in the VGAM package can assist me. I'm new to using it, and there doesn;t seem much in the documentation that's relevant to the question below. Say I have a vector x of 0/1 responses and another vector y of 0/1 responses, these in fact being a bivariate set of 0/1 responses equivalent to cbind(x,y). E.g.

Hello R users, I have a puzzle with the VGAM package, on my first excursion into generalized additive models, in that this very nice package seems to want to do either more or less than what I want. Precisely, I have a 4-component outcome, y, and am fitting multinomial logistic regression with one predictor x. What I would like to find out is, is there a single nonlinear function f(x) which acts
