Hello, I have a problem with creating an identity matrix for glmnet by using the contrasts function. I have a factor with 4 levels. When I create dummy variables I think there should be n-1 variables (in this case 3) - so that the contrasts would be against the baseline level. This is also what is written in the help file for 'contrasts'. The problem is that the function

Hi! as my subject says I am struggling with the different of a two-way ANOVA and a (two-way) ANCOVA. I found the following examples from this webpage: http://www.statmethods.net/stats/anova.html # One Way Anova (Completely Randomized Design) fit <- aov(y ~ A, data=mydataframe) # Randomized Block Design (B is the blocking factor) fit <- aov(y ~ A + B, data=mydataframe) # Two Way

I've run an ancova, edadysexo is a factor with 3 levels,and log(lcc) is the covariate (continous variable) I get this results > ancova<-aov(log(peso)~edadysexo*log(lcc)) > summary(ancova) Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value Pr(>F) edadysexo 2 31.859 15.9294 803.9843 <2e-16 *** log(lcc) 1 11.389 11.3887 574.8081 <2e-16 ***

Dear R user: I have a question about doing ANCOVA in S-plus or R. I know that many users use lm to do the regression and check the ANCOVA. But is there a way to get the traditional Table form of the ANCOVA test through S-plus (like what we would get from SPSS or SAS)? The problem I’m interested in is whether or not there is a treatment effect on some medical measurement. I will

Hi all, I have data from an experiment with 3 independent variables, 2 are within and 1 is between. In addition to the dependent variable, I have a covariate that is a single measure per subject. Below I provide an example generated data set and my approach to implementing the ANCOVA. However the output confuses me; why does the covariate only appear in the first strata? Presumably it should

Could you please help me on the following ANCOVA issue? This is a part of my dataset: sampling dist h 1 wi 200 0.8687212 2 wi 200 0.8812909 3 wi 200 0.8267464 4 wi 0 0.8554508 5 wi 0 0.9506721 6 wi 0 0.8112781 7 wi 400 0.8687212 8 wi 400 0.8414646 9 wi 400 0.7601675 10 wi 900 0.6577048 11 wi 900

How to Ancova in R? I know this has got to be an FAQ, because I see it asked in the lists, but I haven't seen an answer to it. I see the R-sm has the ancova thing happening, but I kind of doubt that what I'm trying to do is "smoothing"... -- Pete Hurd phurd at uts.cc.utexas.edu http://www.zo.utexas.edu/research/phurd Section of Integrative Biology, University of Texas, Austin

dear all, I want to perform a posthoc test for my ANCOVA: a1<-aov(seeds~treatment*length) With summary(glht(a1, linfct = mcp(treatment = "Tukey"))) R tells me: "covariate interactions found -- please choose appropriate contrast" How do I build these contrasts? Ideally, I would like to have the posthoc test for the ANCOVA including a block-effect

Hello, Despite my search, I didn't find a post-hoc test for an ANCOVA. I used the functions aov() and lm() to run the ANCOVA then I tried TukeyHSD() but it didn't work (because of the covariable is a continuous variable?). Furthermore, I would like to plot the adjusted values (i.e. the values of the tested variable taking into account the covariable). Thanks for your help! N. Poulet

Hello, I have 12 sample each sample has got 1000 observation, i.e I have a matrix X with 1000 rows and 12 columns! m <- svm(t(X)) p <- predict (m) Can anyone tell me how to use svmtrain() in R! Many Yhanks, Samuel [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I am trying to test some results I have for significance. It has been recommended that I use R and I am completely new to this.

Dear all, I'm quite sure that this is a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway. I want to perform an ANCOVA with two continuous factors and three categorical factors. Plant population growth rate (GR) = dependent variable Seed reduction due to herbivory (SR) = continuous explanatory variable Herbivore species (HS, 2 levels) = categorical explanatory variable Population (Pop, 24 levels) =

Hello, if we suppose that times <- c("2006-05-14", "2006-06-12", "2006-06-12", "2006-05-14", "2006-05-14", "2006-06-12") value <- c(2,3,1,4,3,1) then with plot(times, value) we have two boxplots in one graph for 2006-05-14 and 2006-06-12 respectively! Is it possible to have them in a scatterplot? and

Hi I compouted a multiple linear regression with repeated measures on one explanatory variable: BOLD peak (blood oxygenation) as dependent variable, and as independent variables I have: -age.group (binaray:young(0)/old(1)) -and task-difficulty measured by means of the reaction-time 'rt'. For 'rt' I have repeated measurements, since each subject did 12 different tasks. -> so

Hi R-Users, I am working with sm.ancova (in the package sm) and I have two problems with the graph, which is automatically generated when sm.ancova() is run. 1-Besides of the fitted lines, the observed data appeared automatically in the graph. I prefer that only fitted lines appear. I check the sm.options, but I could not find the way that the observed data do not appear in the graph. 2-I

Dear list members: I searched the R-help for packages to calculate power for an ANCOVA problem I have. I have found power.t.test, power.anova.test. But it seems that I can not found one with ANCOVA. I have two datasetsets with variables: univariate response(one data with continous response and one with 0 and 1), treatment(two levels), covariates(x1,x2,x3). I would appreciate your help. Tony
