[R] multivariate Poisson distribution

2010-11-03 Thread Jourdan Gold




Hello, from a search of the archives and functions, I am looking for 
information on creating random correlated counts from a multivariate Poisson 
distribution.  I can not seem to find a function that does this. Perhaps, it 
has not yet  been created. Has anyone created an R package that does this. 

  

thanks, 

  

Jourdan Gold

[R] Ordinal Mantel-Haenszel type inference

2009-02-27 Thread Jourdan Gold
Hello,

I am searching for an R-Package that does an exentsion of the Mantel-Haenszel 
test for ordinal data as described in Liu and Agresti (1996) A Mantel-Haenszel 
type inference for cummulative odds ratios. in Biometrics. I see packages such 
as Epi that perform it for binary data and derives a varaince for it using the 
Robbins and Breslow variance method. As well as another pacakge that derives it 
for nominal variables but does not provide a variance or confidence limit. 

Does a package exist that does this? I have searched the list archives and 
can't seem to see such a package but I could be missing something.  thank you.


yours sincerely,


Jourdan

[R] help on tapply using sample with differing sample-sizes

2008-12-02 Thread Jourdan Gold
Hello, My question likely got buried so I am reposting it in the hopes that 
someone has an answer. I have thought more about the question and modified my 
question. I hope tha


my specific question is:

I am attempting to create a bootstrap procedure for a finite sample using the 
theory of Rao and Wu, JASA (1988) that replicates within each strata (h) n_h - 
1 times.  To this end, I require a different sample size for each stratum. 
Unfortunately, it appears that the sample command which is used to obtain my 
resamples only allows a scalar for the sample size. i.e it does not currently 
work with a vector.

 Does any one have any suggestions as to how to get around this or if this is 
not possible, if there is another way to accomplish what I want to do. Perhaps, 
tapply is not the best way to go about getting what I want. if so what would 
all you strong programmers reccommend instead. I am thinking that perhaps loops 
may be the  only way to go.

raoboot - function (datavar, statavar, weight,  nboot, ciqntl, ciqntu)
{
i - 1
sdatavar - sort(datavar)
sstratavar - sort(statavar)
sweight - sort(weight)
 sdatavarwght - sdatavar*sweight
 # stramn - tapply(sdatavar, sstratavar, mean)
 meanvect - rep(0, times = nboot)
   stratasize - tapply(sdatavarwght, sstratavar, length)
   stratasizemone - stratasize -1
 while (i  nboot) 
{ #vector of resampled observations
vectobsrestemp - tapply(sdatavarwght, sstratavar, sample, 
replace = T, size = stratasizemone)
vectobsres - unlist(vectobsrestemp)
meanvect[i] - mean(vectobsres)
i - i + 1
}

repvectboot - rep(mean(meanvect), times = i)
vb - sum((repvectboot - meanvect)^2)/(i -1)
lwrbndmnp - quantile(meanvect, ciqntl)
uppbndmnp - quantile(meanvect, ciqntu)

vb
}

[R] help on tapply using resample as FUN element

2008-12-01 Thread Jourdan Gold

my specific question is:

I am attempting to create a bootstrap procedure for a finite sample using the 
theory of Rao and Wu, JASA (1988) that replicates within each strata (h) n_h - 
1 times. I am able to sample n_h times using an innitial call to the resample 
function  I suspect that it has to do with providing extra info to the FUN 
function but this seems to only allow one value i.e tapply(test, class, mean, 
trim = 0.1)

i want to be able to have a different value of n for each 

sampler - function(x) 


{  sample(x, replace = T)



}


raoboot - function (datavar, statavar, weight,  nboot)
{
i - 1
sdatavar - sort(datavar)
sstratavar - sort(statavar)
sweight - sort(weight)
 sdatavarwght - sdatavar*sweight
 stramn - tapply(sdatavar, sstratavar, mean)
 meanvect - rep(0, times = nboot)
 while (i  nboot) 
{ #vector of resampled observations
vectobsrestemp - tapply(sdatavarwght, sstratavar, resampler)
vectobsres - unlist(vectobsrestemp)
meanvect[i]- mean(vectobsres)
i - i + 1
}

repvectboot - rep(mean(meanvect), times = i)
vb - sum((repvectboot - meanvect)^2)/(i -1)
}
