Hi I am actually running the White test for correcting Heteroscedasticity. I used sandwich() & car(), however the output shows the updated t test of coefficients, with revised Standard Errors, however the estimates remained same. My problem is that the residuals formed a pattern in the original regression equation. After running the White's test, I got some new standard errors - but

Team, I am trying to resolve the self-selection bias of a sample in an experiment and would like to run the Heckman Correction Estimation using R. Can someone help me with the R-Code... I tried searching for the discussion, but not successful. Thanks in advance, Best, Kishore/.. http://kaykayatisb.blogspot.com [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi All, I've been fiddling around with various ways to estimate the popularity of R, SAS, SPSS, Stata, JMP, Minitab, Statistica, Systat, BMDP, S-PLUS, R-PLUS and Revolution R. It's not an easy task. You can see what I've come up with so far at http://r4stats.com/popularity . I'm sure people will have plenty of ideas on how to improve this, so please let me know what you think.

Hi all, Please recommend good books for the following three categories. (I am aim at finance, macroeconomics, trading and business applications). (1) statistical (financial) data analysis; (2) time series; (3) econometrics. More specifically, I am looking for the following two types of books: (1) Books that provide big pictures and intuitions and books that connect dots... For example, there

Oftentimes, I see graphs on the web that *look* like they've been produced by R, but I can never be sure. Or can I? I notice that PostScript files include a "%%%Creator: R Software" line, but do R graphics drivers encode any identifying information in GIF or PNG files more commonly used on the web? And of so, would such evidence necessarily be obliterated in post-processing (e.g

Hi all - has anyone ot and experienced problems with R+. Have downloaded the trail and it will not work -does it need vista (like it says on the box!) Thanks glenn [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi everyone, Thanks for the help in advance. I just want to know if there is absolutely any way of using multicore if my loop can't run in parallel as each iteration depends on the previous iteration. I have Windows R 2.9.2 and REvolution R Enterprise 2.0 for Windows 64 bit. I also have if necessary R on Ubuntu. 8gb of ram and a core 2 duo processor but I could use a quad core as well. Many

It runs more than twice as slowly using 8 core than using a single core in inverting large matrix. Tested on 8 core Windows XP 64 machine. > n = 1000 > n.simu = 100 > func1 = function() + { + x = rnorm(n*n) + dim(x)=c(n,n) + y = solve(x) + } > > setMKLthreads(1) > system.time(for(i in 1:n.simu) func1()) user system elapsed 69.48 2.42 71.91

I found the following document on making R packages. But it is old. I'm wondering if there is more current ones and hopefully more complete ones. http://biosun1.harvard.edu/courses/individual/bio271/lectures/L6/Rpkg.pdf

Hi, I was told to use "<-" instead of "=" in the mailing list. I am wondering what the difference between them? Regards, Peng

There are now several R geographic user groups, and a few have mailing lists on the R mailing list system. Thanks to Martin M, there's also a pointer to a page I'm maintaining to list/describe the groups. The page is at http://macnash.telfer.uottawa.ca/RUG.html Contact me if you have a listing. I'm prepared to wikify it if there is sufficient interest. John Nash

Dear all, I am totally confused by the following R output, but don't have a clue for it. > a <- 1 - 0.2 > a == 0.8 [1] TRUE > a <- 1 - 0.8 > a == 0.2 [1] FALSE > a <- 1 - 0.5 > a == 0.5 [1] TRUE > a <- 1 - 0.6 > a == 0.4 [1] TRUE > a <- 1 - 0.9 > a == 0.1 [1] FALSE My R version is Windows XP R version 2.8.1 (2008-12-22).

*(note*: This is an R community question, not a statistical nor coding question. Since this is my first time writing such a post, I hope no one will take offence of it.) Hello all, I will be attending useR 2009 next week, and was wondering if there are any of you who are *bloggers *intending to participate and report on useR 2009? If so - I would love to know your blogs URL so as to follow you.

Hi all, I have successfully built from source the 32-bit version of R on my Vista 64-bit box. I was hoping to graduate to a 64-bit version so I could analyze some larger data sets. I have 8gb RAM installed. I downloaded the latest 64-bit versions of Perl and MinGW but wasn't sure how to edit the source code to have it build using the 64-bit versions. I did change my PATH variable to

It seems like a recent trend in R has been to make character vectors and factors almost equivalent (apart from the way that factors always remember their original range). There are a few exceptions: * summary.character != summary.factor * table(x, exclude = NULL) != table(factor(x), exclude=NULL) when x includes missing values * strsplit on a factor > strsplit(factor(c("a",

For those who don't follow Ubuntu development carefully, the first Beta for the next Ubuntu was recently released, so I took my home system and upgraded to help out with filing bugs, etc. Just to be clear, I am not looking for help with the upgrade process.
