Hi all, I would like to 1. Read in an arcmap image into R (I can export pretty much any type of image jpeg, bitmap etc from arcmap) 2. Use R to create a nice colour legend in the plot First of all, Is this possible? So far I'm stuck on point 1. I have tried read.pnm() from pixmap and read.jpeg() from rgl. the pnm example provided works fine x <-

Hi all, I've used R for basic programming and data management for a few years now. One of the things that I think could be improved is the data editor. Its a great feature and I use it alot by calling edit(data.frame); very useful to see if what you tried to do actually worked. However, one of the annoying things about it is that when you scroll down the window it doesnt show you all the

Hi all, This could be naivety/stupidity on my part rather than a problem with model output, but here goes.... I have fitted a fairly simple model m1<-glm(count~siteall+yrs+yrs:district,family=quasipoisson,weights=weight,data=m[x[[i]],]) I want to know if yrs (a continuous variable) has a significant unique effect in the model, so I fit a simplified model with the main effect ommitted...

hi all, I often have a data frame like this example data.frame(sq=c(1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,3),area=c(1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3),habitat=c("garden","garden","pond","field","garden","river","garden","field","field")) for each "sq" I have multiple "habitat"s each with an associated "area". I

Hi all, I recently discovered how great win.metafile is for getting high resolution graphics into word. Having problems with specifying families though... #pdf works fine pdf("test.pdf",width=14,height=9) par(family="Helvetica") plot(1:10) text(4,4,"trial") dev.off() windows 2 #metafile doesnt like helvetica family

Dear list, I'm wondering if anyone can help me calculate the deviance of either a zeroinfl or hurdle model from package pscl? Even if someone could point me to the correct formula for calculating the deviance, I could do the rest on my own. I am trying to calculate a pseudo-R-squared measure based on the R^{2}_{DEV} of [1], so I need to be able to calculate the deviance of the full and null

Hi Just a quick problem that I hope is simple to resolve. I'm doing some work with zero inflated poisson models using the pscl package. I can build models using zeroinfl and get outputs fom them with no problem, but when I try to use the predict.zeroinfl function, I get Error: could not find function "predict.zeroinfl". I was using an older version of R, but still had the same

I'm trying to fit a zero-inflated poisson model using zeroinfl() from the pscl library. It works fine for most models I try, but when I include either of 2 covariates, I get an error. When I include "PopulationDensity", I get this error: Error in solve.default (as.matrix(fit$hessian)) : system is computationally singular: reciprocal condition number = 1.91306e-34 When I

Hello all: I have a question regarding the fitted.values returned from the zeroinfl() function. The values seem to be nearly identical to those fitted.values returned by the ordinary glm(). Why is this, shouldn't they be more "zero-inflated"? I construct a zero-inflated series of counts, called Y, like so: b= as.vector(c(1.5, -2)) g= as.vector(c(-3, 1)) x <- runif(100) # x

Dear all, I'm using zeroinfl() from the pscl-package for zero inflated Poisson regression. I would like to calculate (aproximate) prediction intervals for the fitted values. The package itself does not provide them. Can this be calculated analyticaly? Or do I have to use bootstrap? What I tried until now is to use bootstrap to estimate these intervals. Any comments on the code are welcome.

Dear R crew: I am sorry this question has been posted before, but I can't seem to solve this problem yet. I have a simple dataset consisting of two variables: cestode intensity and chick size (defined as CAPI). Intensity is a count and clearly overdispersed, with way too many zeroes. I'm interested in looking at the association between these two variables, i.e. how well does chick

Dear R crew: I think I am in the right mailing list. I have a very simple dataset consisting of two variables: cestode intensity and chick size (defined as CAPI). Intensity is clearly overdispersed, with way too many zeroes. I'm interested in looking at the association between these two variables, i.e. how well does chick size predict tape intensity? I fit a zero inflated negat. binomial

Dear All, I am using the function vuong from pscl package to compare 2 non nested models NB1 (negative binomial I ) and Zero-inflated model. NB1 <-  glm(, , family = quasipoisson), it is an object of class: "glm" "lm" zinb <- zeroinfl( dist = "negbin") is an object of class: "zeroinfl"   when applying vuong function I get the following: vuong(NB1,

Are you referring to the zeroinfl() function in the countreg package? If so, I think predict(fm_zinb2, type = "zero", newdata = some.new.data) will give you pi for each combination of covariate values that you provide in some.new.data where pi is the probability to observe a zero from the point mass component. As to your second question, I'm not sure that's possible, for any

Dear R-helpers, running a zeroinflated model of the following type: zinb = zeroinfl(count=response ~., x = ~ . - response, z = ~. - response, dist = "negbin", data = t.data, trace = TRUE) generates the following message: Zero-Inflated Count Model Using logit to model zero vs non-zero Using Negative Binomial for counts dependent variable y: Y 0 1 2 3 359 52 7 3 generating

Hello, I?m using zero-inflated Poisson regression via the zeroinfl() function to analyze data on seed-set of plants, but for some reason, I don?t seem to be getting the output for all three levels of my two categorical predictors. More about my data and model: My response variable is the number of viable seeds (AVInt), and my two categorical predictors are elevation (Elev) and Treatment

Hello, I am working with zero inflated models for a current project and I am getting wildly different results from R's zeroinfl(y ~ x, dist="negbin") command and Stata's zinb command. Does anyone know why this may be? I find it odd considering that zeroinfl(y ~ x, dist="poisson") gives identical to output to Stata's zip function. Thanks, --david [[alternative

Dear R-Helpers, Can anyone please help me to interpret warning messages from zeroinfl (package pscl) while fitting a zero inflated negative binomial model? The console reports convergence and the parameters seam reasonable, but these <<Warning messages: 1: algorithm did not converge in: glm.fit(X, Y, family = poisson()) 2: fitted rates numerically 0 occurred in: glm.fit(X, Y, family =

Hi, I am trying to replicate Lambert (1992)'s simulation with zero-inflated Poisson models. The citation is here: @article{lambert1992zero, Author = {Lambert, D.}, Journal = {Technometrics}, Pages = {1--14}, Publisher = {JSTOR}, Title = {Zero-inflated {P}oisson regression, with an application to defects in manufacturing}, Year = {1992}} Specifically I am trying to recreate Table 2. But my

Dear all, A question related to the following has been asked on R-help before, but I could not find any answer to it. Input will be much appreciated. I got an unexpected sign of the "slope" parameter associated with a covariate (diam) using zeroinfl(). It led me to compare the estimates given by zeroinfl() and hurdle(): The (significant) negative estimate here is surprising, given
