Re: [R] plot.mob() fails with cut() error 'breaks' are not unique

DeaR all,

I am using mob() for model based partitioning, with a dichotomous

mob1 - mob(

Error in cut.default(x, breaks = breaks, include.lowest = TRUE) :
 'breaks' are not unique

The same persists if I specify either a desired number of breaks, or 
explicit breakpoints (e.g. breaks=3 or breaks=c(-0.1,0.1,0.5)). I guess 
this is to do with the funny distribution of the predictor variable, but 
I'm not sure what to do about it.


Jason, you can't pass the breaks argument to the plot method directly 
but need to pass it on to the panel function drawing the terminal panels. 
As an example consider


example(mob)
plot(fmPID)
plot(fmPID, tp_args = list(breaks = c(0, 100, 120, 200)))

Hope that fixes your problem.

Re: [R] How to construct a valid seed for l'Ecuyer's method with given .Random.seed?

2013-01-23 Thread Marius Hofert
Since clusterSetupRNG() calls clusterSetupRNGstream() and this calls 
.lec.SetPackageSeed(), I could further minimalize the problem:

set.seed(1)
RNGkind(L'Ecuyer-CMRG) # = .Random.seed is of length 7 (first number encodes 
the rng kind)
(seed - .Random.seed[2:7]) # should give a valid seed for l'Ecuyer's RNG
require(rlecuyer) # latest version 0.3-3
.lec.SetPackageSeed(seed)

The last line fails with:

,
| Error in .lec.SetPackageSeed(seed) :
|   Seed[0] = -767742437, Seed is not set.
`

Looking at .lec.SetPackageSeed, seed seems to pass .lec.CheckSeed() [the check
could probably be improved here (but further checking is done in the C code; see
below)]:

,
|  .lec.SetPackageSeed
| function (seed = rep(12345, 6))
| {
| if (!exists(.lec.Random.seed.table, envir = .GlobalEnv))
| .lec.init()
| seed - .lec.CheckSeed(seed) # = bad check since it's passed
| .Call(r_set_package_seed, as.double(seed), PACKAGE = rlecuyer) # = 
this fails!
| return(seed)
| }
| environment: namespace:rlecuyer
`

Going into the C code, r_set_package_seed calls RngStream_SetPackageSeed which 
in turn calls CheckSeed(seed). The relevant part of CheckSeed is this:

,
| for (i = 0; i  3; ++i) {
| if (seed[i] = m1) {
|   /* HS 01-25-2012 */
|   error(Seed[%1d] = %d, Seed is not set.\n, i,m1);
|/* original code
|  fprintf (stderr, \n
|ERROR: Seed[%1d] = m1, Seed is not set.\n
|\n\n, i);
|   return (-1);
|*/
|  }
| }
`

Note that seed[0] in this (C-)code corresponds to the first element of my
variable seed, which is -1535484873. This should definitely be smaller than m1
since m1 is defined as 4294967087.0 on line 34 in ./src/RngStream.c of the 
package 'rlecuyer'.

Why is seed[i] then = m1??? This is strange. Indeed, as you can see from the
error message above, m1 is taken as -767742437 in my case (why?). Still (and 
even more
confusing), -1535484873 = -767742437 is FALSE (!) but the if(){} is entered
anyways...

[R] Dot plot of character and numeric matrix

2013-01-23 Thread Ng Wee Kiat Jeremy
Dear List,

I have a set of data which looks like this (small set of sample)

A A 0.431
A A 0.439
A A 0.507
A G 0.508
A A 0.514

I will like to use this data to plot a dot plot, with the X-axis being of type 
character, and my y axis of type numeric.

When I try to use the dot chart function, I get the error message 'x' must be 
a numeric vector or matrix, which I can understand it to be a result of the 
fact that I have characters AA, AG etc as my x-values.

Any idea how I can go about doing this?

Thanks in advanced!

Subject: RE: [R] dummy encoding in metafor

As Michael already mentioned, the error:

Error in qr.solve(wX, diag(k)) : singular matrix 'a' in solve

indeed indicates that your design matrix is not of full rank (i.e., 
there are linear dependencies among your predictors). With this many 
factors in the same model, this is not surprising if k is only 94 
(which is actually quite large for a meta-analysis). One options is 
to leave out some of the predictors. You can also try collapsing 
some of the levels of the factors. Of course, you lose some 
details that way, but apparently you don't have enough data in the 
first place to carry out such a detailed analysis.


One other thing I noticed. You wrote:

rma(yi=Mean, vi=Variance, ni=N.1, ...)

I suspect that your variable Variance is actually the variance of 
the raw scores. However, the vi argument is used to pass the 
sampling variances of the yi values to the function -- not the 
variance of raw scores. The (estimated) sampling variance of a mean 
is s^2 / n, so if I am not mistaken, you really want to use:


rma(yi=Mean, vi=Variance/N.1, ...)

Wolfgang

 I have seen the possibility of using a model formula for dummy
 encoding and you are right it is much easier than doing it by hand.
 Thing is that if I include some moderator variables into the
 parameters I get the error:
 
 Error in qr.solve(wX, diag(k)) : singular matrix 'a' in solve

 I suspect that you have a linear dependence between your moderator
 variables. Depending on how many levels there are for country,
 sample, and so on you do have a lot of predictors (you presumably
 know that a factor counts as levels-1 for this purpose?)


 For example this call works:
 result = rma(yi=Mean, vi=Variance, ni=N.1, mods=~factor(Country) +
 relevel(factor(Sample), ref=Students) + Gender + Age +
 factor(Category) + relevel(factor(Block), ref=c)+

 result = rma(yi=Mean, vi=Variance, ni=N.1, mods=~factor(Country) +
 relevel(factor(Sample), ref=Students) + Gender + Age +
 factor(Category) + relevel(factor(Block), ref=c)+
 relevel(factor(order), ref=x) + trials, data=csvDataCmaAll,
 method=REML)
 
 I get the error and I was not able to find a definite reason for

 I think I have found out that it somehow relates to the

 Regarding this I think my question was not clear enough. If R does

 it by hand R is still able to execute the function but the baseline
 is missing because I do not define it via a parameter.

 You perhaps would benefit from rereading some of the introductory
 material about formulas. Also look for anything about the model
 matrix (also called the design matrix)

 I simply want to know how R is handling this and what I have to do
 by hand to get the correct results. Sorry, this may be a beginners
 question, but as stated I am new to this field.

[R] problems with coercing a factor to be numeric

2013-01-23 Thread Francesco Sarracino
Dear R listers,

I am trying to compute the mean of a dummy variable that is encoded as a
factor. However, even though the levels of my factor are 0 - 1, when I
compute the mean (after coercing the factor to be
numeric), R changes 0 into 1 and 1 into yes, thus altering my expected
result.

Please, consider the following working example:
pp - rep(0:1, 10)
pp - factor(pp, levels=(0:1), labels=c(no,yes))
mean(pp) #this won't work because the argument is not numeric or logical
mean(as.integer(pp)) # this computes the average, but not on the range 0-1,
but 1-2. Indeed, the result is 1.5 and not 0.5 as expected.

What am I doing wrong?

[R] [R-pkgs] lambda.r 1.1.0 on CRAN

2013-01-23 Thread Brian Lee Yung Rowe
Dear useRs,

I'm pleased to announce that version 1.1.0 of lambda.r is now available on CRAN 
(http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/lambda.r/). This package provides a 
complete functional programming environment within R (and is backwards 
compatible with S3). Lambda.r introduces many concepts including:

. Multipart function definitions
. Guard statements to control execution of functions
. Pattern matching in function definitions
. An intuitive type system
. Optional strong typing via type constraints
. Type variables
. Cleaner syntax for attributes

Using these techniques, systems can be written more efficiently and with less 
headache. Here is a brief example of what you can do with lambda.r.

fib(n) %::% numeric : numeric
fib(n) %when% { n  0 } %as% { stop(Negative numbers not allowed) }
fib(0) %as% 1
fib(1) %as% 1
fib(n) %as% { fib(n-1) + fib(n-2) }

 fib(-1)
Error in function (n)  : Negative numbers not allowed
 fib(5)
[1] 8

Documentation is available at the following locations:
. http://cartesianfaith.wordpress.com/category/r/lambda-r/
. https://github.com/muxspace/lambda.r

A more complete discussion on why analytical systems should be designed using 
functional programming principles will be available in my forthcoming book on 
functional programming and computational finance. 

Warm Regards,
Brian Rowe

Re: [R] dummy encoding in metafor

Dear Wolfgang and Michael,

thank you very much for your help!

Concerning the Variance: I took the variance I used for CMA (which is always

Thank you for noticing and mentioning though :)

Subject: RE: [R] dummy encoding in metafor

As Michael already mentioned, the error:

Error in qr.solve(wX, diag(k)) : singular matrix 'a' in solve

indeed indicates that your design matrix is not of full rank (i.e., there are 
linear dependencies among your predictors). With this many factors in the same 
model, this is not surprising if k is only 94 (which is actually quite large 
for a meta-analysis). One options is to leave out some of the predictors. You 
can also try collapsing some of the levels of the factors. Of course, you lose 
some details that way, but apparently you don't have enough data in the first 
place to carry out such a detailed analysis.

One other thing I noticed. You wrote:

rma(yi=Mean, vi=Variance, ni=N.1, ...)

I suspect that your variable Variance is actually the variance of the raw 
scores. However, the vi argument is used to pass the sampling variances of the 
yi values to the function -- not the variance of raw scores. The (estimated) 
sampling variance of a mean is s^2 / n, so if I am not mistaken, you really 
want to use:

rma(yi=Mean, vi=Variance/N.1, ...)

Best,
Wolfgang

 I have seen the possibility of using a model formula for dummy
 encoding and you are right it is much easier than doing it by hand.
 Thing is that if I include some moderator variables into the
 parameters I get the error:
 
 Error in qr.solve(wX, diag(k)) : singular matrix 'a' in solve
 
 I suspect that you have a linear dependence between your moderator
 variables. Depending on how many levels there are for country,
 sample, and so on you do have a lot of predictors (you presumably
 know that a factor counts as levels-1 for this purpose?)
 
 
 For example this call works:
 result = rma(yi=Mean, vi=Variance, ni=N.1, mods=~factor(Country) +
 relevel(factor(Sample), ref=Students) + Gender + Age +
 factor(Category) + relevel(factor(Block), ref=c)+
 relevel(factor(order), ref=x), data=csvDataCmaAll, method=REML)
 
 If I add the trials which is of type INT:
 result = rma(yi=Mean, vi=Variance, ni=N.1, mods=~factor(Country) +
 relevel(factor(Sample), ref=Students) + Gender + Age +
 factor(Category) + relevel(factor(Block), ref=c)+
 relevel(factor(order), ref=x) + trials, data=csvDataCmaAll,
 method=REML)
 
 I get the error and I was not able to find a definite reason for
 this error or how to solve it I wanted to try it by doing it manually.
 I think I have found out that it somehow relates to the
 
  If you code them yourself R does not know. You know.
 
 Regarding this I think my question was not clear enough. If R does
 the dummy encoding automatically via a model formula it leaves out
 one of the factors and uses it as a baseline automatically. If I do
 it by hand R is still able to execute the function but the baseline
 is missing because I do not define it via a parameter.
 
 You perhaps would benefit from rereading some of the introductory
 material about formulas. Also look for anything about the model
 matrix (also called the design matrix)
 
 I simply want to know how R is handling this and what I have to do
 by hand to get the correct results. Sorry, this may be a beginners
 question, but as stated I am new to this field.
 
  You say you have seven moderator variables. Unless you have a shed
  load of studies you will not be able to look at them simultaneously.
  Apologies if you already knew that.
 
 No I have not known that. In total I have about 94 studies and want
 to test different sets of moderators. Do you think this is

[R] mixed effects meta-regression: nlme vs. metafor

2013-01-23 Thread Christian Röver
Hi,

I would like to do a meta-analysis, i.e., a mixed-effects regression,
but I don't seem to get what I want using both the nlme or metafor packages.

My question: is there indeed no way to do it?
And if so, is there another package I could use?

Here are the details:

In my meta-analysis I'm comparing different studies that report a
measure at time zero and after a certain followup time. Each reported
measurement comes with standard error, and each study uses one (or
several) of a few treatment categories. I want to fit a random effect
for each study (the study effect) and a treatment-dependent time effect.
For the moment I use a linear model, i.e., twice the followup time will
give you twice the effect, etc...

I get /almost/ what I want using nlme via this command:

  lme01 - lme(effect ~ treatment + treatment*time - time - 1,
   random = ~ 1|study,
   weights = varFixed(~se2),
   data = dat)

effect is the real-valued measurement, treatment is a factor, and
time is the followup time in months. se2 is the squared standard error.
Problem is: using the varFixed() option, lme() will fit an
additional variance parameter scaling the provided standard errors by a
certain factor to be estimated. According to some discussions on the
web, you once were able to prevent the fitting of the extra variance
parameter in some pre-1998 S-plus versions of nlme using a
lmeControl(sigma=1) option, but this does not appear to available any
more.

I again get /almost/ what I want using the metafor package:

  rma01 - rma(yi = effect,
   vi = se2,
   mods = ~ treatment + treatment*time - time - 1,
   data = dat)

rma() will correctly digest the provided standard errors, but this
time the problem is that rma() will always treat each line in the data
set as a different study, there does not appear to be a way to tell
rma() that several data points belong to the same study, i.e., have a
common random effect. What I am missing is an equivalent to the random
statement in the lme() command above. Adding an option like
slab=as.character(dat$study) only seems to affect the labeling but not
the actual computation.

Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance,

Christian Roever

Re: [R] New Book: Statistical Psychology with R [in French]

Dear M. Noel:


  You may know that there is a list of books on the R web site 
(www.r-project.org - books: www.r-project.org/doc/bib/R-books.html).  
I'm not sure what you should do to get this book listed there.  If no 
one else suggests what to do, you might wish to write to Frau Palege in 
the Institut für Statistik und Mathematik, Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, 
evelyn.pal...@wu.ac.at.  If she does not handle this, she might be able

Dear useRs,

French reading people among you might be interested by the following 
book:


Noel, Y. (2013). Psychologie statistique avec R [Statistical 
psychology with R, in French], coll. PratiqueR, Paris: Springer. 
http://www.springer.com/psychology/book/978-2-8178-0424-8


This book provides a detailed presentation of all basics of 
statistical inference for psychologists, both in a fisherian and a 
bayesian approach. Although many authors have recently advocated for 
the use of bayesian statistics in psychology (Wagenmaker et al., 2010, 
2011 ; Kruschke, 2010 ; Rouder et al., 2009) statistical manuals for 
psychologists barely mention them. This manual provides a full 
bayesian toolbox for commonly encountered problems in psychology and 
social sciences, for comparing proportions, variances and means, and 
discusses the advantages. But all foundations of the frequentist 
approach are also provided, from data description to probability and 
density, through combinatorics and set algebra.


A special emphasis has been put on the analysis of categorical data 
and contingency tables. Binomial and multinomial models with beta and 
Dirichlet priors are presented, and their use for making (between rows 
or between cells) contrasts in contingency tables is detailed on real 
data. An automatic search of the best model for all problem types is 
implemented in the AtelieR package, available on CRAN.


Bayesian ANOVA is also presented, and illustrated on real data with 
the help of the AtelieR and R2STATS packages (a GUI for GLM and GLMM 
in R). In addition to classical and Bayesian inference on means, 
direct and Bayesian inference on effect size and standardized effects 
are presented.


I hope you might find this book useful,

Re: [R] Nesting fixed factors in lme4 package

2013-01-23 Thread Martina Ozan


Hi,

thanks. I am indeed interested in the main effects of A and B and their

interaction+ I want to incorporate C (the block or 'repetition' within which

the A and B treatments were applied) as a random variable. So A*B would be

the way, however errors of A and B are different due to different

experimental plot sizes. When doing Anova the correct code should be this: 

summary(aov(ln_response) ~ A*B + Error(rep/A), data=Exp2)

in which case the effect of A is calculated by using error A*rep

and the effect of B and A*B is calculated using pooled error of B*rep and

A*B*rep

This I dont know how to specify in glmer. Maybe 'nesting' is not a right

term to use (?)

   In general mixed model questions should go to 
 r-sig-mixed-mod...@r-project.org , but this is actually *not*
 specifically a mixed model problem.  If A and B are fixed factors,
 you're typically interested in A*B, which translates to 1+A+B+A:B,
 i.e. intercept; main effects of A and of B; and the interaction.
 The nesting syntax A/B translates to 1 + A + A:B, i.e. no main
 effect of B.  Nesting would typically make more sense in a random-effects
 context where the meaning of B=1 in unit A=1 is different from
 B=1 in unit A=2, i.e. where you don't want or it doesn't make
 sense to estimate a main effect of B across levels of A.

[R] CFA with lavaan or with SEM

2013-01-23 Thread David Purves
Hi

Sorry for the rather long message.

I am trying to use the cfa command in the lavaan package to run a CFA however I 
am unsure over a couple of issues.

I have @25 dichotomous variables, 300 observations and an EFA on a training 
dataset suggests a 3 factor model.

After defining the model I use the command

fit.dat - cfa(model.1, data=my.dat, std.lv = T, estimator=WLSMV, 
ordered=c(var1,var2 and so on for the other 23 variables))

Is it right that I define the variables as ordered (the output returns 
thresholds suggesting I should). Does the cfa command calculate tetrachoric 
correlations in the background?

However, output for the command returns two variables with  small negative 
variances (-0.002) which I think is due to the correlation matrix not being 
positive definite. Is it reasonable to force these to be zero when defining the 
model or is this more a sign of problems with the model?

As an alternative is it possible to calculate the tetrachoric correlations 
using hetcor (which applies smoothing) and then use the smoothed sample 
correlation as the input to the model, such as

fit.cor - cfa(model.1, sample.cov=my.hetcor, sample.nobs=300, std.lv = 
T,estimator=ML, ordered=c(var1,var2 and so on for the other 23 
variables)).

This however does not produce thresholds suggesting what I have tried is 
nonsense but is there a way to do this?

Final question is I have a lot of missing data - listwise deletion leaves 90 
subjects. Is there a way to calculate estimates using pairwise deletion (this 
is another reason why I tried using the correlation matrix as the input).



I have tried the analysis using John Fox's SEM package / command.

I calculate the correlation matrix with smoothing

my.cor-hetcor(north.dat.sub,use=pairwise.complete.obs)$correlations

This returns the warning indicating that the correlation matrix was adjusted to 
make it positive definite. However the following sem model does not run, with 
the error message that the matrix is non-invertible.

mod1-sem::sem(sem .model.1, S=my.cor, 300)

Should the smoothing not allow it to be inverted?

thanks for help, david

Re: [R] mixed effects meta-regression: nlme vs. metafor

2013-01-23 Thread Viechtbauer Wolfgang (STAT)
Hello Christian,

First of all, it's good to see that you are well aware of the fact that lme() 
without lmeControl(sigma=1) will lead to the estimation of the residual 
variance component, which implies that the sampling variances specified via 
varFixed() are only assumed to be known up to a proportionality constant -- 
however, in the usual meta-analytic models, we assume that the sampling 
variances are exactly known. In fact, trying to disentangle that residual 
variance component from any random study effects is usually next to impossible. 
I mention this explicitly one more time, because I have seen some publications 
using lme() in exactly this way ...

Indeed, lmeControl(sigma=1) is an option only available in (at least some 
versions of) S-Plus (I know that it is available in version 6). Of course, 
that's not that helpful unless you happen to have a copy of S-Plus.

In fact, I ended up developing the metafor package (which started out with a 
function called mima() that is essentially the predecessor of the rma() 
function) for that very reason -- I needed a function to fit the meta-analytic 
random- and mixed-effects models.

As you are also aware of, right now, rma() adds a random effect per observation 
(i.e., observed effect or outcome), while you want a random effect per study 
(which of course only matters if you have more than one outcome per study -- as 
in your example). I have a function in the works that will allow you to do just 
that. It's not in the package yet, but it will be in the future. This 
essentially relates back to numerous requests I have received for adding 
functions to the metafor package that will handle multivariate meta-analytic 
models, dependent outcomes, and things like network meta-analyses. And to my 
shame, I have said numerous times: Yes, it's in the works, it will be in the 
package in the future, don't know yet when (don't hold your breath). It's 
probably just as frustrating for me not to find the time to work as much on the 
package as I would like as it is for those waiting for me to get around to 
actually adding that functionality to the package.

I actually have picked up quite a bit of steam in terms of working on the 
package recently. I am very close to releasing an updated version, the package 
website (http://www.metafor-project.org/ ) has been totally revamped (and is 
starting to become actually useful), and a bit of grant money is soon trickling 
in my direction that involves certain developments in the package. The updated 
version of the package still does not include that aforementioned function, but 
I may consider putting a pre-alpha version on the website so that the 
adventurous are able to try it out.

Alternatively, you could try taking a look at MCMCglmm 
(http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/MCMCglmm/index.html), which should be 
able to fit the model that you want. Can't give you any details on how, but if 
you get stuck, try posting to R-sig-mixed-models and Jarrod Hadfield (the 
MCMCglmm package author) is very likely to help you further.

Best,
Wolfgang

 Subject: mixed effects meta-regression: nlme vs. metafor
 
 Hi,
 
 I would like to do a meta-analysis, i.e., a mixed-effects regression,
 but I don't seem to get what I want using both the nlme or metafor
 packages.
 
 My question: is there indeed no way to do it?
 And if so, is there another package I could use?
 
 Here are the details:
 
 In my meta-analysis I'm comparing different studies that report a
 measure at time zero and after a certain followup time. Each reported
 measurement comes with standard error, and each study uses one (or
 several) of a few treatment categories. I want to fit a random effect
 for each study (the study effect) and a treatment-dependent time effect.
 For the moment I use a linear model, i.e., twice the followup time will
 give you twice the effect, etc...
 
 I get /almost/ what I want using nlme via this command:
 
   lme01 - lme(effect ~ treatment + treatment*time - time - 1,
random = ~ 1|study,
weights = varFixed(~se2),
data = dat)
 
 effect is the real-valued measurement, treatment is a factor, and
 time is the followup time in months. se2 is the squared standard
 error.
 Problem is: using the varFixed() option, lme() will fit an
 additional variance parameter scaling the provided standard errors by a
 certain factor to be estimated. According to some discussions on the
 web, you once

Hi Ray,

I'm pretty sure you don't mean named M[1,,] etc. but rather that
there's only one object M and that's how the slices come into
existence:

What you'll want to do is something like this:

little_helpful_function(n){
file_name - paste(data, n, .dat, sep = )
read.dta(file_name, ##OTHER PARAMETERS)
}

list_of_datasets - lapply(1:1000, little_helpful_function)

output - do.call(c, list_of_datasets)

dim(output) - c(dim(list_of_datasets[[1]]), 1000)

Or something like that. Note that I'm not quite sure what a dta file
is, so I'll leave it to you to find an appropriate read.dta function.

Feel free to write back (cc'ing the list) if you don't understand all
of the above.

[R] Regression with 3 measurement points

2013-01-23 Thread Torvon
Dear R Mailinglist,

I want to understand how predictors are associated with a dependent
variable in a regression. I have 3 measurement points. I'm not interested
in understanding the associations of regressors and the predictor at each
measurement separately, instead I would like to use the whole sample in one
regression, pooling the measurement points.

I cannot simply throw them together, because the observations are not
independent.

Therefore, I think I need to add time as a regressor. How do I do this in
R? Google leads me to time-series analysis more often than not, but from
in other statistical programs and longitudinal research, the word
time-series is usually reserved for 5+ measurement points.

Thank you
T

 Alternatively, you could try taking a look at MCMCglmm

 able to fit the model that you want. Can't give you any details on how, but 
 if you get stuck, try posting to R-sig-mixed-models and Jarrod Hadfield (the 
 MCMCglmm package author) is very likely to help you further.

Thanks; I was also thinking of switching to OpenBUGS + R2OpenBUGS, which
should provide the necessary flexibility at the price of some extra
complication... but having worked with it before, it should be doable...

Re: [R] Percentiles with R for a big data.frame

  Hey Duncan,

 Neither me do imagine what formula OpenOffice uses for quantiles. I have

 You guess? What result and what is right?


  So my question would be:
 How I could calculate quantiles for a big data.frame in R (71 columns and
 288 rows). I need to take 24 rows, calculate quantiles, then take another


  24 rows etc..for 71 columns.


 You have already been told that you are misspelling the name of the R
 function.

 The other open question in my mind is whether you were hoping for
 something other than a single quantile (in this case the 10th percentile,
 or perhaps wanted the quantiles that would divide your data into deciles?

 If you want to do the calculation within groups then the second argument
 to `aggregate` must specify the grouping. By design `aggregate` will apply
 the function on all columns.

 dat1$newID-rep(1:(nrow(dat1)/12),each=12) #if nrow(dat1)/12 is

 dat2-with(dat1,aggregate(cbind(dat1[,1:71]),by=list(

 What I need is to calculate percentiles for each group (there are 12

 in a group). I tried the following:

 duomenai-with(dat1,aggregate(cbind(dat1[,1:71]),by=list(

 You didn't define quantiles, so that won't work.  Assuming that's a typo,
 and you meant quantile...



 First, is the following syntax is right?
 Secondly, I tried to calculate percentiles using OpenOffice and there is
 disagreement between values. If I do calculation for some number row,
 than
 R and OpenOffice numbers coincide, but for a data.frame it seams that
 something goes wrong.


 There are lots of different formulas for empirical quantiles.  The ones
 available in R are described in the ?quantile help topic.  What formula
 does OpenOffice use?

 I have tried the analysis using John Fox's SEM package / command.
 
 I calculate the correlation matrix with smoothing
 
 my.cor-hetcor(north.dat.sub,use=pairwise.complete.obs)$correlations
 
 This returns the warning indicating that the correlation matrix was adjusted

 with the error message that the matrix is non-invertible.
 
 mod1-sem::sem(sem .model.1, S=my.cor, 300)
 
 Should the smoothing not allow it to be inverted?
 

If the input correlation matrix is really positive definite, then it has an 
inverse. You could check directly, e.g., by looking at the eignevalues of the 
tetrachoric correlation matrix. There's very little here to go on, not even the 
error message produced by sem(). By the way, I assume that you didn't really 
call sem in the sem package as sem::sem in a session in which lavann was 
loaded. I'm not sure what would happen if you did that.

Re: [R] Evaluating the significance of the random effects in GLMM

Gabriela Agostini gabrielaagostini18 at gmail.com writes:

 

[snip]

 I am working with GLMM using the binomial family
 I use the following codes
 
 I dropped no significant terms, refitting the model and comparing the
 changes with likelihood:
 
 G.1-lmer(data$Ymat~stu+spi+stu*sp1+(1|ber),data=data,family=binomial)
 G.1b-lmer(data$Ymat~stu+spi+(1|ber),data=data,family=binomial)
 
 anova (G.1,G.2)
 
 But, when I want to evaluate the significance of random effect (1|ber)
 I cannot use a likelihood-ratio test, probably because the link
 function of both models is different.
 

  A couple of minor comments: 
* you should probably use Ymat rather than data$Ymat
as your response, it will make post-processing easier
* in your first model do you really mean stu*sp1 rather than stu*spi?
* since A*B is equivalent to A+B+A:B, your first model specification is
equivalent (assuming you really meant stu*spi) to stu*spi OR stu+spi+stu:spi.
This won't change your answers but will be clearer to experienced R users.

  I don't understand why anova() won't work in this case.  At least
for the example you've shown us, it should.  The link functions aren't
different.  

  Please (1) follow up to r-sig-mixed-mod...@r-project.org and (2)
try to provide a little more information: a reproducible example if

[R] setting off-diagonals to zero

2013-01-23 Thread emorway
The following 1460 x 1460 matrix can be throught of as 16 distinct 365 x 365
matrices.  I'm trying to set off-diaganol terms in the 16 sub-matrices with
indices more than +/- 5 (days) from each other to zero using some for loops. 
This works well for some, but not all, of the for loops.  The R code Im
using follows.  For some reason the third loop below zero's-out everything
in the sub-quadrant it is targeting, which is readily observable when
viewing the matrix (View(MAT)).

library(Matrix)
MAT-matrix(rnorm(1460*1460,mean=0,sd=1),nrow = 1460, ncol = 1460)

#works great
for (i in 1:365) {  
  SEQ - (i - 5):(i + 5)
  SEQ - SEQ[SEQ  0  SEQ  366]  
  MAT[(1:365)[-SEQ], i] - 0  
}

#works great
for (i in 1:365) {  
  SEQ - (i - 5):(i + 5)
  SEQ - SEQ[SEQ  0  SEQ  366]  
  MAT[(1:365)[-SEQ], i + 365] - 0  
}

#zero's out everything, including main-diagonal and near-main-diagonal

for (i in 731:1095) {

I'm not sure why the third FOR loop above is not leaving the main-diagonal

Re: [R] Dot plot of character and numeric matrix

I think you need to become more familiar with the factor data type. Reread 
the Introduction to R document that comes with R.

Dear List,

I have a set of data which looks like this (small set of sample)

A A0.431
A A0.439
A A0.507
A G0.508
A A0.514

I will like to use this data to plot a dot plot, with the X-axis being
of type character, and my y axis of type numeric.

When I try to use the dot chart function, I get the error message 'x'
must be a numeric vector or matrix, which I can understand it to be a
result of the fact that I have characters AA, AG etc as my x-values.

Any idea how I can go about doing this?

Thanks in advanced!

Re: [R] summarise subsets of a vector

2013-01-23 Thread David L Carlson
You didn't indicate what you want to do with the 101st observation. Arun's
solution creates an 11th group and divides by the number in the group(1),
while Jessica's solution creates an 11th column and divides by 10.

 test[101] - 100
 unlist(lapply(split(test,((seq_along(test)-1)%/% 10)+1),mean))
 1  2  3  4  5  6  7

In matrix(test, nrow = 10) :

Another approach would be to use aggregate:

 Groups - gl(ceiling(length(test)/10), 10)[1:length(test)]
 aggregate(test, list(Groups), mean)
   Group.1  x
11   0.00

Re: [R] CFA with lavaan or with SEM

Hi John

Thanks for your quick reply.

The full warning I got is

' Error in csem(model = model.description, start, opt.flag = 1, typsize = 
typsize,  :
  The matrix is non-invertable.'

The eigenvalues of the tetrachoric correlations are non negative. So it is must 
be how I am defining my model.

I have also tried it without having lavaan in the session.

 Hi

 Sorry for the rather long message.


. . .


 I have tried the analysis using John Fox's SEM package / command.

 I calculate the correlation matrix with smoothing

 my.cor-hetcor(north.dat.sub,use=pairwise.complete.obs)$correlations

 This returns the warning indicating that the correlation matrix was adjusted 
 to make it positive definite. However the following sem model does not run, 
 with the error message that the matrix is non-invertible.

 mod1-sem::sem(sem .model.1, S=my.cor, 300)

 Should the smoothing not allow it to be inverted?


If the input correlation matrix is really positive definite, then it has an 
inverse. You could check directly, e.g., by looking at the eignevalues of the 
tetrachoric correlation matrix. There's very little here to go on, not even the 
error message produced by sem(). By the way, I assume that you didn't really 
call sem in the sem package as sem::sem in a session in which lavann was 
loaded. I'm not sure what would happen if you did that.

Best,
 John

 pool = c(s1,s2)
 subpool = c(s1)

How can I write the subpool in pool right in R?

Dear David,

It certainly helps to have a reproducible example.

You've left out the error variances (uniquenesses) for the observed
variables. You're also making the specification *much* harder than it needs
to be:

Not sure what you want this for, but work along the following:

 pool = c(s1,s2)
 subpool = c(s1)

 ifelse(pool==subpool,1,0)
[1] 1 0

Notice:
 pool2 = c(s2,s1)

Re: [R] FactoMineR

2013-01-23 Thread John Fox
Dear Daniel,

Eventually, FactoMineR (and other Rcmdr plug-ins) really should be updated
to conform to R 3.0.0 requirements, but I've modified the development
version 1.9-4 of the Rcmdr on R-Forge to allow a new option to accommodate
some of these plug-ins. If you set
options(Rcmdr=list(RcmdrEnv.on.path=TRUE)), then plug-in packages like
FactoMineR that rely on the RcmdrEnv environment being on the search path
*may* again work properly. A quick check suggests that this is the case with
FactoMineR.

Normally, the development version of the Rcmdr should be installable for the
current version of R from R-Forge via the command install.packages(Rcmdr,
repos=http://R-Forge.R-project.org;), but packages on R-Forge are often
built on an irregular basis, and so if you want to try it, you may have to
download the Rcmdr source package via svn and build the package yourself;
see http://r-forge.r-project.org/scm/?group_id=255.

Of course, version 1.9-4 of the Rcmdr will eventually be moved to CRAN, but
I have to correspond some more with plug-in package authors and do more
testing before that happens.

I hope this helps,
 John

 Dear Daniel,
 
 There were changes to the new version 1.9-3 of the Rcmdr so that it
 conforms to CRAN policies. These changes can break plug-ins that haven't
 been modified for compatibility.
 
 One change is that the environment in which the Rcmdr stores state
 information is no longer put on the search path. That's apparently
 preventing the FactoMineR plug-in from finding the active data set. The
 solution is for the author to replace get(.activeDataSet) with something
 like get(getRcmdr(.activeDataSet)). I'll correspond with the package
 author to suggest this.
 
 I apologize for the difficulties introduced by these changes.

 I'm not sure why the third FOR loop above is not leaving the main-diagonal
 and near-main-diagonal terms alone?


Because -SEQ in the last expression is not referencing the correct  elements.
The first element of (731:1009) has index 1 and not 731.
So as far as I can see  the last expression should be something like

MAT[(731:1095)[-(-730+SEQ)], i + 365] - 0

First, this is backwards: the observed variables depend on the factor, and
not vice-versa; e.g., a = gam11*f1. Second, the factor has an error-variance
parameter; it doesn't depend on itself: V(f1) = 1. As I mentioned in my

Re: [R] Create a Data Frame from an XML

2013-01-23 Thread Adam Gabbert
Hello Gentlemen,

I mistakenly sent the message twice, because the first time I didn't
receive a notification message so I was unsure if it went through properly.

Your solutions worked great. Thank you!  I felt like I was fairly close
just couldn't quite get the final step.

Now, I'm trying to reverse the process and account for my header.

In other words I have my data frame in R:

BRANDNUMYEARVALUE
GMC1  1999  1
FORD   2  2000  12000
GMC1  2001   12500
 etc
and I make some edits.
BRANDNUMYEARVALUE
DODGE   3  1999  1
TOYOTA   4 2000  12000
DODGE3  2001   12500
So now I would need to ouput an XML file in the same format accounting for
my header (essentially, add z: in front of row).

(What I want to output)
   data
   z:row BRAND=DODGE NUM=3 YEAR=1999 VALUE=1 /
   z:row BRAND=TOYOTA NUM=4 YEAR=2000 VALUE=12000 /
   z:row BRAND=DODGE NUM=3 YEAR=2001 VALUE=12500 /
   z:row BRAND=TOYOTA NUM=4 YEAR=2002 VALUE=13000 /
   z:row BRAND=DODGE NUM=3 YEAR=2003 VALUE=14000 /
   z:row BRAND=TOYOTA NUM=4 YEAR=2004 VALUE=17000 /
   z:row BRAND=DODGE NUM=3 YEAR=2005 VALUE=15000 /
   z:row BRAND=DODGE NUM=3 YEAR=1967 VALUE=PRICELESS /
   z:row BRAND=TOYOTA NUM=4 YEAR=2007 VALUE=17500 /
   z:row BRAND=DODGE NUM=3 YEAR=2008 VALUE=22000 /
   /data
Thus far from the help I've found online I was trying to set up an xmlTree
xml - xmlTree()

and use xml$addTag to create nodes and put in the data from my data frame.
I feel like I'm not really even close to a solution so I'm starting to
believe that this might not be the best path to go down.

Once again, any help is much appreciated.

 Hi Adam

  [You seem to have sent the same message twice to the mailing list.]

 There are various strategies/approaches to creating the data frame
 from the XML.

 Perhaps the approach that most closely follows your approach is

   xmlRoot(doc)[ row ]

 which  returns a list of XML nodes whose node name is row that are
 children of the root node data.

 So
   sapply(xmlRoot(doc) [ row ], xmlAttrs)

 yields a matrix with as many columns as there are  row nodes
 and with 3 rows - one for each of the BRAND, YEAR and VALUE attributes.

 So

   d = t( sapply(xmlRoot(doc) [ row ], xmlAttrs) )

 gives you a matrix with the correct rows and column orientation
 and now you can turn that into a data frame, converting the
 columns into numbers, etc. as you want with regular R commands
 (i.e. independently of the XML).

Hello,

How can I judge if a string is in a group of string? For example, I would like 
to have

if (subpool in pool){
}else{
}

Where

 pool = c(s1,s2)
 subpool = c(s1)

How can I write the subpool in pool right in R?

Thanks very much!

Cheers,

[R] italic font for legend text when using expression function for symbols

2013-01-23 Thread raz
Hello,

I'm trying to add a symbol (Delta) to plot legend with text using
expression(paste()) but this disables the text.font that allows to use
bold or italic text.
as follows:
x=c(1:10)
y=c(1:10)
plot(x,y)
legend(1,10,legend=c(A,B,C,expression(paste(Delta, D))),
   pch=c(24,18,17,16),cex=2,text.font=3,bty=n)

Any suggestion to how I can add the Delta symbol and have a italic font?

Thanks

I think it is rather strange that you are criticising R because the  
mean or sum functions won't coerce factors to numeric class. R is  
already very loosely typed. It has a fairly limited number of object  
classes and there is widespread class coercion when it is appropriate.  
Can you explain why you believed factors or by logical extension  
character classed variables should get implicitly coerced by all  
mathematical functions?

Re: [R] density of hist(freq = FALSE) inversely affected by data magnitude

2013-01-23 Thread William Dunlap
I think it is a fair bit of work to interpret the freq=TRUE (prob=FALSE)
version of hist() when the bins have unequal sizes.  E.g.,
in the following the bins are sized so that each contains
an equal number of observations.  The resulting flat
frequency plot is hard for me to interpret.  The density plot
is easy.

   x - rnorm(1000, sd=50)
   hist(x, breaks=quantile(x,(0:10)/10), prob=TRUE)
   hist(x, breaks=quantile(x,(0:10)/10), prob=FALSE)

To find the proportion of yess in pp you can use

Re: [R] Adding a line to barchart

2013-01-23 Thread S Ellison
 

  I need a quick help with the following graph (I'm a lattice newbie):
  
  require(lattice)
  npp=1:5
  names(npp)=c(A,B,C,D,E)
  barchart(npp,origin=0,box.width=1)
  
  # What I want to do, is add a single vertical line 
 positioned at x = 2
  that lays over the bars (say, using a dotted line).  How do 
 I go about
  doing this?

In a lattice call, you can use panel= to provide a panel function that does 
more than one thing per panel. In this case:

npp=1:5
names(npp)=c(A,B,C,D,E)
barchart(npp,origin=0,box.width=1,
panel=function(x, y, ...) {
 panel.barchart(x, y, ...)
 panel.abline(v=2, lty=2)
}
)

This gets more useful with grouped data because the panel function picks up the 
grouping factor:

g - gl(5,5)
h - factor(rep(LETTERS[1:5], 5))
barchart(h~ppn|g,origin=0,box.width=1,
panel=function(x, y, ...) {
 panel.barchart(x, y, ...)
 panel.abline(v=2, lty=2.5)
}
)

[R] extracting characters from a string

2013-01-23 Thread Biau David
Dear All,

I have a data frame of vectors of publication names such as 'pub':

pub1 - c('Brown DK, Santos R, Rome DF, Don Juan X')
pub2 - c('Benigni D')
pub3 - c('Arstra SD, Van den Hoops DD, lamarque D')

pub - rbind(pub1, pub2, pub3)


I would like to construct a dataframe with only author's last name and each 
last name in columns and the publication in rows. Basically I want to get rid 
of the initials (max 2, always before a comma) and spaces surounding last name. 
I would like to avoid a loop.

ps: If I could have even a short explanation of the code that extract the 
values of the character string that would also be great!

Re: [R] Evaluating the significance of the random effects in GLMM

2013-01-23 Thread Gabriela Agostini
Thanks!

The comments and the information provided were extremely helpful to me.

According to DRAFT r-sig-mixed-models FAQ, do not compare lmer models
with the corresponding lm fits, or glmer/glm; the log-likelihoods are
not commensurate. The problem is not the link function but rather the
different additive terms.

Maybe, I made a mistake in explaining my problem
I want to compare Model A whit model B in order to evaluate the
significance of the random effects.

A-lmer(Ymat~stu+spi+(1|ber),data=data,family=binomial)

B-glm(Ymat~stu+spi,family=binomial,data=data)

I'm looking for an alternative way.
I made these questions to r-sig-mixed-mod...@r-project.org as you recommended.

Thanks again for your time!

1. Study a regular expression tutorial on the web to learn how to do this.

2. ?regex in R summarizes (tersely! -- but clearly) R's regex's.

3. ?grep tells you about R's regular expression manipulation functions.

The following will solve that problem.


fun2 - function(x, sep = , ){

m - lapply(x, function(y) gregexpr( [[:alpha:]]*$, y))
res - lapply(seq_along(x), function(i)

Re: [R] nesting in CoxPH with survival package

2013-01-23 Thread Katie Anweiler
Thank you for the suggestions.

Just to clarify, my first question was more on what actual coding I
should be using to indicate a nested variable when using the coxph()
function.  I asked this after consulting several times with a local
statistician, but unfortunately neither of us are very familiar with
R.

After further consultation, I have changed the design to a 2*2 design
(2 levels of ExpTemp and Stability each) with blocking (Period).  I am
still getting the x matrix deemed to be singular error.

 LOEmod3alt=coxph(LOE.fit~ExpTemp+Stability+Period,data=goodexp)

this?

 Hello all,
 I am trying to understand how to specify nested factors when using

 In the simplest form, I am testing two different temperatures, with
 each temperature being performed twice in different experimental
 periods (e.g. Temp5 performed in Period A and C, Temp4 performed in
 Period B and D)

 Period is confounded with temperature. That is the source of the
 singularity. in the message received below.

 You can estimate the C-A and the D-B differences.
 As I said, get statistical help. These are not R questions.

 I am trying to see if survival time is affected by the treatment

 period nested within temperature as factors.

 1. Is this an appropriate way of nesting?


 Have you looked at the coxme package?
 http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/coxme/index.html

 2. Can this error message be ignored?


 Sometimes R packages correctly drop variables that are exactly collinear:
 other times the correct solution is not clear. I would think the answer in
 this case would be no, but do not have a lot to go on at this point.

Re: [R] hyphen replaced by period in header when using read.table

2013-01-23 Thread Sarah Goslee
Please read ?read.table again, and pay special attention to the
check.names argument.

A - is not allowed in a column name because it would lead to problems like:

mydata$a-b vs mydata$a - b
where
mydata$a.b has no such confusion.

If you must have - instead of ., you can use check.names=FALSE and
make sure that you always access the columns using:
mydata[, a-b] or mydata[a-b] instead of with the $ shortcut.

 mydata - data.frame(col1 = 1:3, a-b = 4:6, check.names=FALSE)
 mydata
  col1 a-b

Subject: [R] how to read a df like that and transform it?

Dear all

I have a data.frame like that :

father    mother    num_daughter    daughter
291    3906    0    NULL
275    4219    0    NULL
273    4236    1    49410
281    4163    1    49408
274    4226    1    49406
295    3869    2    49403
                    49404
287    4113    0    NULL
295    3871    1    49401
292    3895    4    49396
                    49397
                    49398
                    49399
291    3900    3    49392

How to read it into R and transform it like that:

father mother    num_daughter   daughter1  daughter2  daughter3 daughter4
291    3906    0    NULL
275    4219    0    NULL
273    4236    1    49410
281    4163    1    49408
274    4226    1    49406
295    3869    2    49403      49404
287    4113    0    NULL
295    3871    1    49401
292    3895    4    49396      49397    49398   49399
291    3900    3    49392

library (plyr) and library (reshape2) and other good packages are  OK for me.

Thanks a lot!

[R] Pasting a list of parameters into a function

2013-01-23 Thread bsm2
I need to repeat a function many times, with differing parameters held
constant across iterations.  To accomplish this, I would like to create a
list (or vector) of parameters, and then insert that list into the function.

For example:

q-(l,a,b,s)

genericfunction-function(q){
}

##
The equivalent code would of course be

genericfunction-function(l,a,b,s){
}

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Re: [R] problems with coercing a factor to be numeric

2013-01-23 Thread Francesco Sarracino
Thank you all for your replies. Let me try to explain my point: first of
all, let me clarify that I didn't mean to criticize anyone (or anything).
Secondly, what I meant refers to the fact  that  I've read on an R and
S-plus companion to applied regression about methods to alter the encoding
of factors when using contrasts in regressions. These are options (for
contrasts) that can be easily set as option('contrasts'). This command
changes the way R creates the dummies out of a factor and various methods
are available.
I was expecting that R might have had something similar that applied to my
case, thus changing the way R attaches numeric values to my dummy variable.
I am just surprised that such option doesn't exist. I was having wrong
expectations.
Thank you all for helping me clarifying this point.

 As Michael already mentioned, the error:
 
 Error in qr.solve(wX, diag(k)) : singular matrix 'a' in solve
 
 indeed indicates that your design matrix is not of full rank (i.e., there are 
 linear dependencies among your predictors). With this many factors in the 
 same model, this is not surprising if k is only 94 (which is actually quite 
 large for a meta-analysis). One options is to leave out some of the 
 predictors. You can also try collapsing some of the levels of the factors. Of 
 course, you lose some details that way, but apparently you don't have 
 enough data in the first place to carry out such a detailed analysis.
 
 One other thing I noticed. You wrote:
 
 rma(yi=Mean, vi=Variance, ni=N.1, ...)
 
 I suspect that your variable Variance is actually the variance of the raw 
 scores. However, the vi argument is used to pass the sampling variances of 
 the yi values to the function -- not the variance of raw scores. The 
 (estimated) sampling variance of a mean is s^2 / n, so if I am not mistaken, 
 you really want to use:
 
 rma(yi=Mean, vi=Variance/N.1, ...)

 Wolfgang

Re: [R] How to construct a valid seed for l'Ecuyer's method with given .Random.seed?

2013-01-23 Thread Marius Hofert
Dear Hana,

Thanks for helping.

I am still wondering, why m1 (which should be 2^32-209 [see line 34 in
./src/RngStream.c]) is -767742437 in my case and why the minimal example you
gave was working for you but isn't for me.

Apart from that, ?.Random.seed - L'Ecuyer-CMRG says:

,
| The 6 elements of the seed are internally regarded as 32-bit
| unsigned integers.  Neither the first three nor the last
| three should be all zero, and they are limited to less than
| ‘4294967087’ and ‘429493’ respectively.
`

= .Random.seed provides a *signed* integer. I tried to convert it to an
unsigned integer:

RNGkind()
set.seed(1)
.Random.seed[-1]
RNGkind(L'Ecuyer-CMRG)
.Random.seed[-1] # = unsigned

seed - .Random.seed[-1] + 2^32 # = shifting
require(rlecuyer)
.lec.SetPackageSeed(seed)

... but it fails with

,
| Error in .lec.SetPackageSeed(seed) : Seed[1] = 14, Seed is not set.
`

= so there seem to be the requirement that the second element of the seed is 
14 (???). 

I might have done the conversion to a signed integer incorrectly, though.

It would be great if the seed was checked *precisely* (not just basic length
checks) in R, maybe in .lec.CheckSeed(). That would rule out further problems
and strange error messages from C, which are harder to debug. 

What are the precise conditions for the seed in 'rlecuyer'? Judging from the
above error, the second element must be  14. But, additionally,... ?

I hope there is a solution to the problem of how to convert .Random.seed to get
a valid seed for 'rlecuyer'... we need that in a package. 

Cheers,

Marius




Hana Sevcikova ha...@uw.edu writes:

 Marius,

 I looked it up in the original L'Ecuyer's paper: The seed must be larger than
 0. Thus, the function defines the seed variable as unsigned long integer. 
 You're
 passing a negative number, so I think there is some overflow going on.

 The internal L'Ecuyer RNG is a modification of the original one (and I'm not
 familiar with it), but they seem to relax that restriction.

 `
 
 = so there seem to be the requirement that the second element of the seed
 is 
 14 (???).
 
 I might have done the conversion to a signed integer incorrectly, though.
 
 It would be great if the seed was checked *precisely* (not just basic
 length
 checks) in R, maybe in .lec.CheckSeed(). That would rule out further
 problems
 and strange error messages from C, which are harder to debug.
 
 What are the precise conditions for the seed in 'rlecuyer'? Judging from
 the
 above error, the second element must be  14. But, additionally,... ?
 
 I hope there is a solution to the problem of how to convert .Random.seed
 to get
 a valid seed for 'rlecuyer'... we need that in a package.

I apologize if this message is posted twice.  I am having email problems.

I think the confusion about negative numbers is that R represents the seed 
values as signed integers, but the underlying C code interprets those values as 
unsigned integers.  At least that is how I read the documentation on 
.Random.seed 


Hope this is helpful,

Since clusterSetupRNG() calls clusterSetupRNGstream() and this calls 
.lec.SetPackageSeed(), I could further minimalize the problem:

set.seed(1)

the rng kind)
(seed - .Random.seed[2:7]) # should give a valid seed for l'Ecuyer's RNG

The last line fails with:

,
| Error in .lec.SetPackageSeed(seed) :
|   Seed[0] = -767742437, Seed is not set.
`

Looking at .lec.SetPackageSeed, seed seems to pass .lec.CheckSeed() [the check
could probably be improved here (but further checking is done in the C code; see
below)]:

,
|  .lec.SetPackageSeed
| function (seed = rep(12345, 6))
| {
| if (!exists(.lec.Random.seed.table, envir = .GlobalEnv))
| .lec.init()

| .Call(r_set_package_seed, as.double(seed), PACKAGE = rlecuyer) # = 
this fails!
| return(seed)
| }
| environment: namespace:rlecuyer
`

Going into the C code, r_set_package_seed calls RngStream_SetPackageSeed which 
in turn calls CheckSeed(seed). The relevant part of CheckSeed is this:

,
| for (i = 0; i  3; ++i) {
| if (seed[i] = m1) {
|   /* HS 01-25-2012 */
|   error(Seed[%1d] = %d, Seed is not set.\n, i,m1);
|/* original code
|  fprintf (stderr, \n
|ERROR: Seed[%1d] = m1, Seed is not set.\n
|\n\n, i);
|   return (-1);
|*/
|  }
| }
`

Note that seed[0] in this (C-)code corresponds to the first element of my
variable seed, which is -1535484873. This should definitely be smaller than m1
since m1 is defined as 4294967087.0 on line 34 in ./src/RngStream.c of the 
package 'rlecuyer'.

Why is seed[i] then = m1??? This is strange. Indeed, as you can see from the
error message above, m1 is taken as -767742437 in my case (why?). Still (and 
even more
confusing), -1535484873 = -767742437 is FALSE (!) but the if(){} is entered
anyways...

[R] cannot allocate memory block of size 2.7 Gb

2013-01-23 Thread Cláudio Brisolara




Hello R-users

I am getting error messagens when I require some packages or execute some 
procedures, like these below:

 require(tseries)
Loading required package: tseries
Error in get(Info[i, 1], envir = env) : 
  cannot allocate memory block of size 2.7 Gb

 require (TSA)
Loading required package: TSA
Loading required package: locfit
Error in get(Info[i, 1], envir = env) : 
  cannot allocate memory block of size 2.7 Gb
Failed with error:  ‘package ‘locfit’ could not be loaded’

I used the commands memory.limit() and memory.size() to check memory 
limitation, but I could not see any problem. I send also sessionInfo() data. I 
have run the same script and different computers with less memory capacity, so 
it seems to me that it is not a real memory problem.

 This works well for some, but not all, of the for loops.  The R code Im
 using follows.  For some reason the third loop below zero's-out everything
 in the sub-quadrant it is targeting, which is readily observable when
 viewing the matrix (View(MAT)).
 
 library(Matrix)
 MAT-matrix(rnorm(1460*1460,mean=0,sd=1),nrow = 1460, ncol = 1460)
 

The way to do that in a single 365 x 365 matrix is:

Mat - matrix( 1:(365*365), 365, 365)
Mat[ abs( col(Mat)-row(Mat) )  5 ] - 0
Mat

The way to propagate that pattern is to use rep(), so here is a one-liner for 
the task:

MAT[ rep( abs( col(Mat)-row(Mat) )  5, 16) ] - 0


Didn't test on you gigantuan matrix;  used smaller example:

Mat - matrix( 1:(16*16), 16, 16)
test - rbind(Mat, Mat)
test[rep( abs( col(Mat)-row(Mat) )  2 , 2)] - 0

If you look at the first few lines of x you'll see this:

At the end of line 4 it shows charset=gb2312.  I didn't think that was 
an encoding, but this seems to do the conversion:


y - iconv(x, gb2312, utf-8)

(I don't know if that will display properly on your Windows machine; it

Re: [R] Create a Data Frame from an XML

 Hello Gentlemen,
  
 I mistakenly sent the message twice, because the first time I didn't receive 
 a notification message so I was unsure if it went through properly.
  
 Your solutions worked great. Thank you!  I felt like I was fairly close just 
 couldn't quite get the final step. 
  
 Now, I'm trying to reverse the process and account for my header.
  
 In other words I have my data frame in R:
  
 BRANDNUMYEARVALUE
 GMC1  1999  1
 FORD   2  2000  12000
 GMC1  2001   12500
  etc
 and I make some edits.
 BRANDNUMYEARVALUE
 DODGE   3  1999  1
 TOYOTA   4 2000  12000
 DODGE3  2001   12500

You needn't transform to a data frame if all you need to do is tweak the values 
of some of the attributes.  You can always set the attributes of each row node 
directly.

s - c(  data,  row BRAND=\GMC\ NUM=\1\ YEAR=\1999\ VALUE=\1\ 
/, 
 row BRAND=\FORD\ NUM=\1\ YEAR=\2000\ VALUE=\12000\ /, 
 row BRAND=\GMC\ NUM=\1\ YEAR=\2001\ VALUE=\12500\ /,  
 row BRAND=\GMC\ NUM=\1\ YEAR=\2008\ VALUE=\22000\ /, 
 /data)

x - xmlRoot(xmlTreeParse(s, asText = TRUE, useInternalNodes = TRUE))

node - x[row][[1]]
node
xmlAttrs(node) - c(BRAND = BUICK, NUM = 3, YEAR = 2000, VALUE = 0)
node
x



 So now I would need to ouput an XML file in the same format accounting for my 
 header (essentially, add z: in front of row). 
  

I think that what you're describing is a namespace identifier.  Check the XML 
package help for ?xmlNamespace  In particular check this example on the help 
page.

  node - xmlNode(arg, xmlNode(name, foo), namespace=R)
  xmlNamespace(node)


Cheers,
Ben

 (What I want to output)
data
z:row BRAND=DODGE NUM=3 YEAR=1999 VALUE=1 /
z:row BRAND=TOYOTA NUM=4 YEAR=2000 VALUE=12000 /
z:row BRAND=DODGE NUM=3 YEAR=2001 VALUE=12500 /
z:row BRAND=TOYOTA NUM=4 YEAR=2002 VALUE=13000 /
z:row BRAND=DODGE NUM=3 YEAR=2003 VALUE=14000 /
z:row BRAND=TOYOTA NUM=4 YEAR=2004 VALUE=17000 /
z:row BRAND=DODGE NUM=3 YEAR=2005 VALUE=15000 /
z:row BRAND=DODGE NUM=3 YEAR=1967 VALUE=PRICELESS /
z:row BRAND=TOYOTA NUM=4 YEAR=2007 VALUE=17500 /
z:row BRAND=DODGE NUM=3 YEAR=2008 VALUE=22000 /
/data
 Thus far from the help I've found online I was trying to set up an xmlTree
 xml - xmlTree()
  
 and use xml$addTag to create nodes and put in the data from my data frame.  I 
 feel like I'm not really even close to a solution so I'm starting to believe 
 that this might not be the best path to go down.
  
 Once again, any help is much appreciated.

 Hi Adam
 
  [You seem to have sent the same message twice to the mailing list.]
 
 There are various strategies/approaches to creating the data frame
 from the XML.
 
 Perhaps the approach that most closely follows your approach is
 
   xmlRoot(doc)[ row ]
 
 which  returns a list of XML nodes whose node name is row that are
 children of the root node data.
 
 So
   sapply(xmlRoot(doc) [ row ], xmlAttrs)
 
 yields a matrix with as many columns as there are  row nodes
 and with 3 rows - one for each of the BRAND, YEAR and VALUE attributes.
 
 So
 
   d = t( sapply(xmlRoot(doc) [ row ], xmlAttrs) )
 
 gives you a matrix with the correct rows and column orientation
 and now you can turn that into a data frame, converting the
 columns into numbers, etc. as you want with regular R commands
 (i.e. independently of the XML).

Re: [R] how to read a website with Chinese Character

If you look at the first few lines of x you'll see this:

At the end of line 4 it shows charset=gb2312.  I didn't think that was 
an encoding, but this seems to do the conversion:

y - iconv(x, gb2312, utf-8)
y

(I don't know if that will display properly on your Windows machine; it 
doesn't work on mine, because I don't have the fonts installed.  But it

Re: [R] Copy on assignment and .Internal(inspect())

Here's another approach using the sampling profiler:

prof - function() {
  Rprof(memory.profiling=T, interval=0.001)
  replicate(100, f())
  Rprof(NULL)
  summaryRprof(memory = stats)
}

f - function() {
  x = seq(1000)
  for(i in seq(1000)) {
x[i] - x[i] + 1
  }
}

prof()

=

index: prof:replicate

 vsize.small  max.vsize.small  vsize.large  max.vsize.large

   nodesmax.nodes duplications tot.duplications
  265805 139493487 1703

 samples
 251

Average duplications are just 9 for 1000 executions of x[i] - x[i] +
1. A lot of optimization seems to be going on!

How do I make sense of the output listed in my previous post, then?

 Notice that the memory reference is different each time. But according
 to http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/full-copy-on-assignment-td1750555.html
 I (possibly a mistake on my part) understand that some optimization
 should be taking place.

 Is right to conclude from the output above that the entire vector is
 being copied each time or is just some kind of shallow copy (maybe
 some kind of view of the vector but not the vector itself is being
 copied). Obviously I'm not familiarized with r internals.

Re: [R] problems with coercing a factor to be numeric

2013-01-23 Thread S Ellison


On 23 Jan 2013, at 21:36, Francesco Sarracino f.sarrac...@gmail.com wrote:

  what I meant refers to the fact  that  I've read on an R and
 S-plus companion to applied regression about methods to alter the encoding
 of factors when using contrasts in regressions. These are options (for
 contrasts) that can be easily set as option('contrasts'). This command
 changes the way R creates the dummies out of a factor and various methods
 are available.
 I was expecting that R might have had something similar that applied to my
 case, thus changing the way R attaches numeric values to my dummy variable.
 I am just surprised that such option doesn't exist. I was having wrong
 expectations.

Such options do exist, but at modelling time, not factor creation/conversion 
time.

When created, by calls to 'factor' or in functions like 'read.table', factors 
are stored internally as integers with a list of labels (what you see as factor 
levels) that go with each integer. Those internal integers start at 1 and go 
up. You can set the ordering of those labels (by specifying the levels 
argument in factor()) so that, for example, yes and no can be associated with 
(numeric) factor levels 1 and 2 respectively instead of the default ordering 
which would put 'no' alphabetically before 'yes'. (I find this choice 
particularly useful for orderings like high, medium, low for which the 
alphabetic ordering is not exactly intuitive; similarly alphabetic ordering 
puts '1', '2', '10' in the order '1', '10', '2' and so on, so that often needs 
specifying manually. It's also useful to specify levels if you want things like 
boxplots to come out in a particular order, as boxplots by default use the 
order of the factor levels).
The internal integer values are returned by 'as numeric'. If your factor level 
labels - which are always character - are also interpretable as numbers, you 
need 'as.character' to return the character strings and then 'as.numeric' to 
convert those. 

Now, up to this point you just have more or less arbitrary integers asociated 
with the original factor levels (the degree of arbitrariness depends on whether 
you specified the level order or let R use its default). These integers are not 
the contrasts used in model fitting. Contrasts are set at model matrix building 
time; they are not a fixed attribute of the factor. The internal numbering of 
levels  affects contrasts only to the extent that the numerical values used in 
setting contrasts are usually in the same order as the factor levels.  You can 
inspect the functions used to associate contrasts  with factor levels by using 
options(contrasts). You can inspect the numerical values that would currently 
be used for a given factor with a call to contrasts(). You can change the 
contrast asignments globally using options() or explicitly in some model calls 
(lm, for example, has a contrasts argument) and if you like you can write your 
own contrast functions to set any values you!
  like.  The most common are probably treatment contrasts, which set the first 
factor level as intercept and the rest as (unit) differences from that, and sum 
to zero contrasts which do what they say, setting contrasts that sum to zero by 
choosing a set like (-1, 0, 1). 

So you actually have a great deal of control over both the order in which 
labels are associated with factor levels and the (separate) values of contrasts 
associated with those factor levels at modelling time. 

The cost of that control is some complexity, and the time needed to learn 
what's going on to use it all properly. 

Hope that helps ...

[R] Rcpp wrap and as

Hi, I'm curious about the ability of these two methods to really wrap (I
mean as in delegate) the target object instead of deep copying and
transforming it to a new structure. First, specifically for vectors.
Second, in general (my hunch is that -say- map-env are transformed copies
but it's just a guess). Regards, Carlos.

It could be related to spaces in the data or something else.  
Suppose, if the data has some spaces at the end or the beginning.
pub1 - c('Brown DK, Santos R, Rome DF, Don Juan X')
pub2 - c('Benigni D')
pub3 - c('Arstra SD, Van den Hoops DD, lamarque D ')

pubnew-rbind(pub1, pub2, pub3)
res-as.data.frame(do.call(cbind,lapply(dat1,function(x) gsub(^ | 
$,,gsub([A-Za-z]+$,,gsub( $,,x),stringsAsFactors=F)
str(res)
#'data.frame':    3 obs. of  4 variables:
# $ V1: chr  Brown Benigni Arstra
# $ V2: chr  Santos  Van den Hoops
# $ V3: chr  Rome  lamarque
# $ V4: chr  Don Juan  



#If I used the previous solution:
as.data.frame(do.call(cbind,lapply(dat1,function(x) gsub( $,,gsub(^ 
|\\w+$,,x,stringsAsFactors=F)
   V1    V2 V3   V4
1   Brown    Santos   Rome Don Juan
2 Benigni  
3  Arstra Van den Hoops lamarque D  # initial present.

I tried this case with Rui's solution:
fun2(pubnew)
#[[1]]
#[1]  Brown   Santos   Rome Don Juan

#[[2]]
#[1] Benigni
#
#[[3]]
#[1] Arstra    Van den Hoops lamarque D   # tinitials present.

As Rui's solution works for you, the problem might be something else.
A.K.

thanks a lot. it doesn't entirely work well yet; poabably because of the format 
of the data I import. I have to look into it and thanks to your explanation, I 
should be able to find the problem in the data.

Hi David,

I forgot about the explanation part.
dat1-read.table(text=pub,sep=,,fill=TRUE,stringsAsFactors=F) # here, I 
converted it to dataframe, delimited by ,, Used fill=TRUE because you have 
unequal number of publications in each line
as.data.frame(do.call(cbind,lapply(dat1,function(x) gsub( $,,gsub(^ 
|\\w+$,,x,stringsAsFactors=F)

#splitting codes into smaller pieces;
 lapply(dat1,function(x) gsub(^ |\\w+$,,x)) #lapply() will ensure that the 
columns in dataframe are split to list elements.  Here, the gsub command 
within first double quotes matches if there are any empty spaces at the start 
of the string and also the last word characters in each string and removes 
them ( 2nd set of double quotes are
empty).
$V1
[1] Brown    Benigni  Arstra  

$V2
[1] Santos        Van den Hoops 

$V3
[1] Rome    lamarque 

$V4
[1] Don Juan     
lapply(dat1,function(x) gsub( $,,gsub(^ |\\w+$,,x))) # I used a second 
gsub because there are some spaces at the end e.g. Brown 
$V1
[1] Brown   Benigni Arstra 

$V2
[1] Santos      Van den Hoops

$V3
[1] Rome 
lamarque

$V4
[1] Don Juan      

do.call(cbind,lapply(dat1,function(x) gsub( $,,gsub(^ |\\w+$,,x 
#bind by columns
 V1    V2  V3 V4    
[1,] Brown   Santos    Rome Don Juan
[2,] Benigni        
[3,] Arstra  Van den Hoops lamarque     

Hope it
helps.
A.K.

Subject: [R] extracting characters from a string

Dear All,

I have a data frame of vectors of publication names such as 'pub':

pub1 - c('Brown DK, Santos R, Rome DF, Don Juan X')
pub2 - c('Benigni D')
pub3 - c('Arstra SD, Van den Hoops DD, lamarque D')

pub - rbind(pub1, pub2, pub3)


I would like to construct a dataframe with only author's last name and each 
last name in columns and the publication in rows. Basically I want to get rid 
of the initials (max 2, always before a comma) and spaces surounding last
name. I would like to avoid a loop.

ps: If I could have even a short explanation of the code that extract the 
values of the character string that would also be great!

 
David
