In modelling functions some people like to use a weight of 0 to drop an observation instead of using a subset value of FALSE. E.g., weights=c(0,1,1,...) instead of subset=c(FALSE, TRUE, TRUE, ...) to drop the first observation. lm() and summary.lm() appear to treat these in the same way, decrementing the number of degrees of freedom for each dropped observation. However, predict.lm() does

Hi, I'm a bit puzzled. I uses exactly the same code in RcppExamples package to try adding RcppFrame object to RcppResultSet. When running it gives me segmentation fault problem. I'm using gcc 4.1.2 on redhat 64bit. I'm not sure if this is the cause of the problem. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Rob. int numCol=4; std::vector<std::string>

Dear R users: Recently, I tried to write a program to calculate cross-validated predicted value. My sources are as follows. However, the R reported an error. Could you please check the sources? Thanks. set.seed(100) x<-rnorm(100) y<-sample(rep(0:1,50),replace=T) dat<-data.frame(x,y) library(rms) fito<-lrm(y~x) preo<-predict(fito) pre<-matrix(NA,nrow=100,ncol=200) for (i in

Hello: I'd like to know how and if the GLM convergence problems are addressed in gamlss. For simplicity, let's focus on Normal and Negative Binomial with log link. The convergence issues of the glm() function were alleviated in 2011 when glm2 package was released. Package gamlss was released in 2012, so it might still use the glm-like solution or call glm() directly. Is that the case or

I have data on the proportion of clutches experiencing different fates (e.g., 4 different sources of mortality) for 5 months . I need to test 1) if the overall proportion of these different fates is different over the entire study and 2) to see if there are monthly differences within (and among) fate types. Thus, I am pretty sure this is an RM analysis -( I measure the same quadrats each month).

This is a question regarding the 'regTermTest' function in the 'survey' package. Imagine Z as a three level factor variable, and code ZB and ZC as the two corresponding dummy variables. X is a continuous variable. In a 'glm' of Y on Z and X, say, how do the two test specifications test.terms = c("ZB:X","ZC:X") # and test.terms = ~ ZB:X + ZC:X in

Hi! I would like to perform an F-Test over more than one variable within a generalized mixed model with Gamma-distribution and log-link function. For this purpose, I use the package mgcv. Similar tests may be done using the function "anova", as for example in the case of a normal distributed response. However, if I do so, the error message "error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) :

Hi all I'm getting a NaN returned on using dffits, as explained below. To me, there seems no obvious (or non-obvious reason for that matter) reason why a NaN appears. Before I start digging further, can anyone see why dffits might be failing? Is there a problem with the data? Consider: # Load data dep <-

Thanks for the link to the data. Here's my best guess. If you use the following approach, with the HC0 type of robust standard errors in the

Hi i would like to use some graphs or tables to explore the data and make some sensible guesses of what to expect to see in a glm model to assess if toxin concentration and sex have a relationship with the kill rate of rats. But i cant seem to work it out as i have two predictor variables~help?Thanks.:) Here's my data. >

Hi, Suppose I have a vector: > names.select [1] "Idd13" "Idd14" "Idd8.12" "Idd7" automatically generated by some selection criteria. Now, if I have a data frame with many variables, of which the variables in "names.select" are also variables from the data frame. e.g. > all.df[1:5,] Mouse Idd5 Idd6.19.20 Idd13 Idd14 Idd8.12

Dear R-users When running a glm polynomial model with one explanatory variable (example Y~X+X^2), with a poisson or binomial error distribution, the predicted values obtained from using the predict() function and those obtained from using the coefficients from the summary table "as is" in an equation of the form Y=INTERCEPT+ XCoef x X + XCoef x X^2, differ considerably. The former are

Problems with predict and lines in plotting binomial glm Dear R-helpers I have found quite a lot of tips on how to work with glm through this mailing list, but still have a problem that I can't solve. I have got a data set of which the x-variable is count data and the y-variable is proportional data, and I want to know what the relationship between the variables are. The data was

Hi all, In a simulation context, I'm applying some my function, "myfun" say, to a list of glm obj, "list.glm": >length(list.glm) #number of samples simulated [1] 1000 >class(list.glm[[324]]) #any component of the list [1] "glm" "lm" >length(list.glm[[290]]$y) #sample size [1] 1000 Because length(list.glm) and the sample size are rather large,

Dear all, I am comparing logistic regression models to evaluate if one predictor explains additional variance that is not yet explained by another predictor. As far as I understand Baron and Li describe how to do this, but my question is now: how do I report this in an article? Can anyone recommend a particular article that shows a concrete example of how the results from te following simple

dear list! i have run several glm analysises to estimate a mean rate of dung decay for independent trials. i would like to compare these results statistically but can't find any solution. the glm calls are: dung.glm1<-glm(STATE~DAYS, data=o_cov, family="binomial(link="logit")) dung.glm2<-glm(STATE~DAYS, data=o_cov_T12, family="binomial(link="logit")) as

Hello, I use a type III anova ("car" package) to analyse an unbalanced data design. I have two factors and I would have the effect of the interaction. I read that the result could be strongly influenced by the contrasts. I am really not an expert and I am not sure to understand indeed about what it is... Consequently, I failed to properly used the fit.contrast function (gregmisc

This is a question about removing the intercept in a binomial glm() model with categorical predictors. V&R (3rd Ed. Ch7) and Chambers & Hastie (1993) were very helpful but I wasn't sure I got all the answers. In a simplistic example suppose I want to explore how disability (3 levels, profound, severe, and mild) affects the dichotomized outcome. The glm1 model (see below) is

Dear Listers, If I have several glm objects with names glm1, glm2.... and want to apply new data to these objects. Instead of typing "predict(glm1, newdata)..." 100 times, is there way I could do so in a loop? Thank you so much! wensui [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
