[R] linear regression and testing the slope

2009-07-08 Thread evrim akar
Dear All,

First of all I would like to say I do not have much knowledge about this
subject, so most of you can find it really easy. I am doing a linear
regression and I want to test if the slope of the curve is 0. R gives the
summary statistics:

Call:
lm(formula = x ~ s)

Residuals:
  Min1QMedian3Q   Max
-0.025096 -0.020316 -0.001203  0.011658  0.044970

Coefficients:
 Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(|t|)
(Intercept)  0.005567   0.016950   0.3280.750
s   -0.001599   0.002499  -0.6400.538

Residual standard error: 0.02621 on 9 degrees of freedom
Multiple R-squared: 0.04352,Adjusted R-squared: -0.06276
F-statistic: 0.4095 on 1 and 9 DF,  p-value: 0.5382

what is this t-value for? The explanation in the help file was unfortunately
not clear to me. How can I test my hypotheses that if the slope is 0?

Thank you in advance,

regards,

Evrim

[R] histogram plots with many different samples

2009-03-25 Thread evrim akar
Dear R users,

I would like to draw some histograms as seen in the page whose address I
wrote below. I searched through the web a lot and I found a page which
describes how I can do it for older versions of R. For newer versions they
recommend to install the package R.basics in R.clusters but this does not
exist. The address of the web page is
http://www1.maths.lth.se/help/R/plot.histogram/

Unfortunately I could not find any other resource or help. Is it possible to
make histograms like I wanted with R? If so, could you please give any
advise on how I can do it?

Thank you,

Regards,

evrim

[R] modification of the function ecdf

2009-03-18 Thread evrim akar
Dear R users,

I am trying to minimize the distance between my data points and theoretical
gamma distribution over shape and scale parameters. the function mde from
actuar package does it for empirical distribution function and theoretical
gamma distribution. However, I would like to minimize the distance by using
only the data between 0.1 and 0.9 quantiles. I cannot use ecdf in this case
as my sample is not a whole sample. Therefore I would like to modify the
function ecdf as it gives the ecdf between 0.1 and 0.9 quantiles. I wrote

ecdf1-

function (x)

{

x - sort(x)

k-kuantile(x,c(0.1,0.9))

z-x[x=k[2]]

z-z[z=k[1]]

n - length(x)

if (n  1)

stop('x' must have 1 or more non-missing values)

vals - unique(z)

rval - approxfun(vals, cumsum(tabulate(match(x, vals)))/n,

method = constant, yleft = 0.1, yright = 0.9, f = 0, ties =
ordered)

class(rval) - c(ecdf, stepfun, class(rval))

attr(rval, call) - sys.call()

rval

}**
(I also tried it with yleft = 0, yright = 1, it gave the same error)
But appearently it is wrong and it gives the error
Error in vector(integer, length) : vector size cannot be NA
(I also tried it with yleft = 0, yright = 1, it gave the same error)

I am not good at programming and I could not understand the mistake. I
checked also the approxfun and I suspect I damage something there by using z
in ecdf1, however I am not sure.

I would like to find that function and use it in mde instead of ecdf for
methodCvM. you can see the part I would like to modify in mde function.



if (measure == CvM) {

G - fn

Gn - if (grouped)

ogive(x)

else ecdf(x)

if (is.null(weights))

weights - 1

Call$x - knots(Gn)

Call$par - start

}
..

 I'd appreciate if you could suggest a way to create the empirical
distribution function after the 0.1-quantile till 0.9-quantile. So as
opposed to ecdf the y-axis will be from 0.1 to 0.9 rather than 0 to 1. Or, a
way to find the minimum distance between the theoretical gamma distribution
and empirical distribution between 0.1 and 0.9 th percentiles.


Thank you in advance,

Regards,

Evrim

[R] incomplete data analysis

2009-02-23 Thread evrim akar
Dear R users,

First of all, thank you for your help about goodness of fit tests.

I have another set of data and i am sure it is incomplete. I searched for
incomplete data analysis with R but I could not find any suggestion, or
method. Lets say (totally hypothetical situation) from a distribution you
can generate a continuous random sample between the numbers 0 and 100. but I
have data from 20 to 80 and the rest is missing. I suspect this data comes
from the distribution I mentioned. If I use tests like ks.test or chi-square
to test if the data comes from this distribution it says NO because it takes
my sample as whole sample.

If there is any suggestion about the package I have to read, or function I
have to use or I can modify, I would be very glad.

Thank you in advance.

PS:I would like to prevent any misunderstanding, I am not asking for a code.
Maybe, I could not find the right words to search and I would appreciate any
help (name of the package or search key words or even if it is possible or
not...)

[R] chi squared goodness of fit test with R

2009-02-04 Thread evrim akar
Dear R users,

I am a master student in Mathematics and I am writing my thesis in
statistics. I need to use R and unfortunately I do not have any experience
with a computer program. Could you please help me about chi squared goodness
of fit test with R? In R-help website I saw a message about how to do that
but I do not know how to cut the data into bins and calculate the expected
numbers in each bin. Moreover I have to count the observed data in each bin
and I do not know how to do that either. I really need help as its an
essential part of my study.

I appreciate if you could help.


Thank you in advance,

regards,

Evrim Akar
