Re: [R] Reading Data from mle into excel?
I did not see any code above, but you could write a simple function that does the mle fit (is this mle from the stats4 package?) then extracts the information that you want and puts it into a vector, something like: out <- c( coef(fit), sqrt(diag(vcov(fit))), ll=logLik(fit) ) And returns the vector of the pieces that you want. Then you can use the sapply function to run the fits and return a matrix with the coefficients, etc. You can then use write.csv to create a csv file of the results that your advisor can open in excel (or there are several ways to transfer the contents of a matrix to excel). -- Gregory (Greg) L.

Re: [R] Reading Data from mle into excel?
Hi Greg, I have about 40 time series each of which I have to run a seperate MLE on. I will be experimenting with different starting values for the parameters etc, so some way to automate the process will be useful. I think I can just about do this part (if you see the code above) but as I can't do the second part I can't check it properly. The second part I simply want to take the results of all the MLE calculation: the parameter estimates, there standard errors and the actual value of the likilihood ratio so that I can compare them and present them to my supervisor. The last part must be done in excel as my supervisor has not been converted to R yet.

The sink function will write to a file what normally shows up on the screen after running some code.

The sink function will write to a file what normally shows up on the screen after running some code. So while it is possible to use it to capture the output of the mle command and read the results into excel, I don't see anything useful that you could then do with it in excel.

Re: [R] Reading Data from mle into excel?
I would read the datasets into a list first, something like this which will make a list of dataframes: filenames <- dir() # where only filenames you want to read in are in this directory dataframelist <- lapply(filenames, read.csv, header = TRUE, sep = ",") You should be able to put the whole procedure, after reading in dataframes, into one lapply perhaps, e.g., lapply(dataframelist, yourfunction) where dataframelist is a list of dataframes, and yourfunction is a function that does all the procedures for one dataset. The function 'yourfunction' will be applied to each dataset in the list separately, then the results output into a list. Then, if the results from each dataset will have the same dimensions, you can do something like ldply using package plyr ldply(output, 'identity') # where 'output' is the output list of results from the lapply call above This will give you a data frame of all the results.

Re: [R] Reading Data from mle into excel?
Hi: This isn't too hard to do. The strategy is basically this: (1) Create a list of file names. (See ?list.files for some ideas) (2) Read the data files from (1) into a list. (3) Create a function to apply to each data frame in the list. (4) Apply the function to each data frame. (5) Extract the coefficients/output and put them into a new data frame or list. Here's a really simple example, but it exemplifies the process. I created five data frames and exported them to .csv files in my current directory. The game is to create a vector of file names, use lapply() to pass them into a list, create a function to extract the coefficients from a linear regression model, and then use ldply() from the plyr package to combine steps (4) and (5) above. files <- paste('dat', 1:5, '.csv', sep = '') # Code to create the output files in case you want to try out the example # wf <- function(f) # write.csv(data.frame(x1 = rnorm(10), x2 = rnorm(10), y = rnorm(10)), # file = f, quote = FALSE, row.names = FALSE) # lapply(files, wf) library(plyr) datalist <- lapply(files, read.csv, header = TRUE) lfun <- function(d) coef(lm(y ~ x1 + x2, data = d)) ldply(datalist, lfun) You should look at ?list.files to help create the file list you need. You should then be able to use something similar to the code that generates datalist to get the data frames into a single list. Obviously, my function is a lot simpler than yours, but the principle is that the function should work for any generic data object in your list. I like the ldply() function for this simple example because it's 'one-stop shopping', but the base package alternative would be something like do.call(rbind, lapply(datalist, lfun)) The challenge in your problem is that you want to return a coefficient matrix, which raises a new set of issues. If you use the do.call() approach, it won't keep track of the corresponding data frame to which the results pertain. ldply() won't work because the coefficient matrix is not a data frame and if you coerce it to one, the row names (variables) will disappear. One approach is to use llply() instead; consider the following function and its application: # This function returns a matrix of coefficients, standard errors, # t-tests of significance and p-values rather than a vector lfun2 <- function(d) summary(lm(y ~ ., data = d))['coefficients'] # returns a list rather than a data frame llply(datalist, lfun2) It's not hard to figure out how to write the results to one or more files from there. You may want to adapt your function to get the output you need.
