Hi, I have to search in an online db for registered manufacturers of raw materials. Can I use R for the following: I have a list with monograph numbers eg: l <- c(198, 731,355) Now I want to make a dataframe, containing the monograph number and the information listed under COS: Certificate holder, certificate number, Status, Type Is this possible with R? kind regards Bart -- View this

Dear all, my question might be a bit off-topic. Is there anything like a standard textbook on statistical programming? With that I don't mean anything like MASS, S Programming, Programming with Data, ... (no offense meant, they are fantastic books and each of those three helped me a great deal). Rather in the direction of the "Numerical Recipes" Series addressing how to implement

R-packages leaps and subselect implement various methods of selecting best or good subsets of predictor variables for linear regression models, but they do not seem to be applicable to logistic regression models. Does anyone know of software for finding good subsets of predictor variables for linear regression models? Thanks. -Ben p.s., The leaps package references "Subset Selection

Hello, I looked for R packages which focused on order-restricted statistical inference, but I could find only the isoreg() function. I would need to test whether the means in my (repeated measures) data follow a given order, e.g. A<B=C<D. I took a look at the monograph by Barlow et al. (1972) on this topic and found that for my case the null hypothesis is always A=B=C=D. This might be

Yes: I have Tufte's monograph on my desk. (along with 4 statistics texts) Yes: I am not the biggest fan of PowerPoint. Yes: I am using R to generate charts, plots, trends, etc. I have to summarize them each week. When I consider how to organize this data my first thought is to generate an HTML file with links to the R-generated plots, which HTML file organizes the plots in the required

Dear R-Devel, I have had it in my mind for some time now that a Task View related to R and education might be a good thing. There are currently 19 Task Views, covering a broad spectrum of general topics for which R may be used. The homepage lists 64 books related to R, and several of them have accompanying packages on CRAN. There is a wiki and a host of contributed documentation. We also have a

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

Hi, is there any method for goodness of fit testing of an (as general as possible) univariate distribution with parameters estimated, for normal, exponential, gamma distributions, say (e.g. the corrected p-values for the Kolmogorov-Smirnov or Chi-squared with corresponding ML estimation method)? It seems that neither ks.test nor chisq.test handle estimated parameters. I am aware of function

Hi *, Firstly, thank you so much for your time to read my email. I am currently interested in how to use R to predict time series from models fitted by ARIMA. The package I used is basic stats package, and the method I used is predict.Arima. What I know is that ARIMA parameters are estimated by Kalman Filter, but I have difficulty in understanding how exactly maximum likelihood (ML) estimator

Dear list, I want to combine several plots in one graph. I did this: plot(a1); plot(a2, add=TRUE); ...plot(a5, add=TRUE) The problem is the more plot we put, the more complex the graph. Is there any way to label each line; or other way just to make sure I know which one which? Thank you for the help, Ilham [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Can anyone advise me on some pratical papers or books On Gaussian Copulas? Anything in the genre of Copulas Dummies Would be a help. As simpe, and approachable with minimal pedantic style.

Howdy, I looked at the references in the R and S-Plus literature to find a good introduction/reference to GLM. When I then went to Amazon it seemed to me that all the recommended books are out of print.

Greetings! I am looking for advice regarding the best way to compare GAMMs. I know other model outputs return enough information for R's AIC, ANOVA, etc. commands to function, but this is not the case with GAMM unless one specifies the gam or lme portion. I know these parts of the gamm contain items that will facilitate comparisons between gamms. Is it correct to simply use these values

Dear all, I'm confused by the time serie parameters in data(lh) : sueoka:~ lobry$ R --vanilla --quiet > tsp(lh) [1] 1 48 1 because documentation says: QUOTE A regular time series giving the luteinizing hormone in blood samples at 10 mins intervals from a human female, 48 samples.

Dear All, I've got a problem with ks.test. I've two realy large vectors, that I'd like to test, but I get an overflow, and the p-value cannot be calculated: > length(genomesv) [1] 390025 > length(scopv) [1] 140002 > ks.test(genomesv, scopv) Two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test data: genomesv and scopv D = 0.2081, p-value = NA alternative hypothesis: two.sided

Just thought I would mention that there is a new O'Reilly book out, "Developing Bioinformatics Computer Skills", which is ok, pretty superficial about some things but at least it lets you know what is happening and where. R gets a few pages in there, 394-396, mostly nice press and accurate except that Bill Venables (hi Bill) may be surprised to find out that he is a member of the
