Re: [R] ANOVA Table for Full Linear Model?

2007-02-06 Thread talepanda
summary.lm tells you F, df, and p value.

try:

summary(regression9)

Re: [R] Metapost device driver

Please discuss this on R-devel: it is way off-topic for R-help.

 Hi All,

 I've copied the XFig driver and renamed everything and this works, I can
 open the new metapost() and it works exactly like the xfig
 driver. Now all I have to do is the actual work!

 Just one question. There is a magic number in ExtEntries as follows:

 static const R_ExternalMethodDef ExtEntries[] = {
   EXTDEF(PicTeX, 6),
   EXTDEF(PostScript, 16),EXTDEF(XFig, 11),
   EXTDEF(MetaPost, 12),/* Is 12 is OK */
   EXTDEF(PDF, 13),

 I just picked 12, is this Ok, or does it have some special significance?

Re: [R] ar function in stats

2007-02-06 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
On Mon, 5 Feb 2007, Leeds, Mark (IED) wrote:

 I had a couple of questions about the ar function that i was hoping
 someone could answer.

[...]

 I call the ar function with aic=TRUE as below so that it picks the order
 of the ar model based on BIC.

It actually does as it says it does (BIC != AIC).

 Yet it returns with no coefficients as the best model.

You mean order 0?

 I do the same call using many, series in a loop ( besides just the one
 above )  and it returns zero coefficients quite a bit of the time.

 1) can this be possible ? because i don't see how zero coefficients
 could be better than one or some ?

Then you don't understand AIC (or BIC), so please study the concepts.
It is not only possible, it happens (including for you).

 2) also, is there a way to calculate the t-stats for the coefficients
 that come back ?

What are the 't-stats'?  The estimated standard errors are not calculated 
in ar(), if you mean (estimated coefficient)/(estimated se).  There is of 
course *a* way to calculate them!  From the Value section on the help 
page:

asy.var.coef: (univariate case, 'order  0'.) The asymptotic-theory
   variance matrix of the coefficient estimates.

The question is, what could you validly do with the 't-stats'?

 it would probably be easier for me to just call arima over and over in a
 loop while decreasing the number of lags each time by 1 but
 i am not clever enough in R to do this ? i imagine it requires some form
 of the use of embed but i looked at the code for ar and it
 was pretty beyond me. if anyone happens to have code for doing this type
 of thing, that would be great also. thank you very much.

Hmm, R itself does have examples.  See e.g. ?WWWusage.

[R] How-To construct a cov list to use a covariance matrix in factanal?

2007-02-06 Thread Alistair Campbell
Hi,

I have a set of covariance matrices but not the original data. I want to carry 
out some exploratory factor analysis. So, I am trying to construct a covariance 
matrix list as the input for factanal. I can construct a list which includes 
the cov, the centers, and the n.obs. But it doesn't work. I get an error that 
says Error in sqrt(diag(cv)) : Non-numeric argument to mathematical function. 
So, obviously I am doing something wrong.

Two questions occur. Can someone either tell me how to construct a proper 
covmat list object or point me to a description of how to do it? The other 
question is whether it is possible to simply use the covariance matrix as the 
argument for covmat in factanal? The description implies that it is but I 
really have no idea of how to do this. I have tried simply making covmat the 
covariance matrix but it doesn't wotk. I just get the message 'covmat' is not 
a valid covariance list

Anyway, thanks for any thoughts you might have on this.

Re: [R] any implementations for adaptive modeling of time series?

2007-02-06 Thread Peter Nimda
Hi Ansel,

thank you for the response

 generally speaking, wavelets are known to be good at
 extracting signal from noisy data and are adaptive but
 I am not familiar with any R implementation of wavelets.

I used wavelets before.

1. wavelets is just a particular case of orthogonal function
systems. playing with different orthogonal function
systems one can find some high effective basis.
However this approach is hardly something what one
can adapt on fly while processing the real data.

2. wavelets are not stochastic and adapting a noise
model as well as random changes in trend is also
quite essential in my case.


 A simple way of looking at changes would be to use CUSUM (strucchange
 package).
 I hope this helps.
 Ansel.

thank you Ansel, i will look at this package right away.

kind regards

[R] R equivalent to Matlab spline(x,y,xx)

2007-02-06 Thread Maria Vatapitakapha
Hello

I am currently translating some Matlab code into R and would like to know
what people would recommend as the equivalent in R for spline(x,y,xx) in
matlab. The latter performs a cubic spline interpolation where x,y are the
given data vectors and xx is the new abscissa vector.
It allows for the definition of end conditions in y, which is very useful.
I tried using spline and splinefun from the splines R package but I cannot
see how to specify the endslopes in this case and I get different results
than I do with matlab, as the curve seems to lift over the max value and
then drop to the max value in the end.

Any help would be much appreciated

Re: [R] How to do moran's I test?

2007-02-06 Thread Lyndsey Stanfill
First, I use lattice data rather than point pattern data, so this may not be
applicable. 
The following is an example of the Moran's I test using the south dataset,
analyzing the variable HR60 for dependence.
I  use GeoDa to create my spatial weight (https://www.geoda.uiuc.edu/), and
I call the weight south.gal
In R, load package:spdep
Load and attach data:
 south - read.table(south.txt, header=TRUE)
 attach(south)
Create my .nb weight:
 south.gal.nb - (south.gal)
Read the .gal file into a neighbors object:
 south.gal.nb - read.gal (south.GAL, override.id=TRUE)
Create my weight¹s matrix:
 south.listw - nb2listw(south.gal.nb, style=W)
Name my variable as a spatially named vector:
 HR60 - spNamedVec(HR60, south)
Perform test:
 str(moran(HR60, south.listw, length(south.gal.nb), Szero(south.listw)))
List of 2
 $ I: num 0.216
 $ K: num 31
For a monte carlo simulation of Moran's I (with randomization):
 nsim-999
 set.seed(1234)
 simHR60-moran.mc(HR60, listw=south.listw, nsim=nsim)
 simHR60
 
 Monte-Carlo simulation of Moran's I
 
data:  HR60 
weights: south.listw
number of simulations + 1: 1000
 
statistic = 0.2159, observed rank = 1000, p-value = 0.001
alternative hypothesis: greater

I hope this helps!

[R] heatmap from xyz data

2007-02-06 Thread Trevor Graham
Hi,

I've got some data in a data frame arranged like this:
x   y   z   othervariables  
0.1 0.2 1.7 0.01
0.2 0.2 1.3 0.23
0.2 0.3 1.1 0.43
etc

I'd like to plot a heatmap of this data, with x and y as the (x,y) co- 
ords and z defining the colour at each point.

I'm having difficulty finding the correct functions to use.  Can  
anyone make any recommendations?

It seems straightforward to make the plot using the image function if  
the data is in matrix form, but I'm not sure how to transform my xyz  
data into matrix form.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Best wishes,
Trevor

[R] Questions on counts by case

2007-02-06 Thread Serguei Kaniovski


Hi all,


for the data below I would like to

1. generate a dummy variable for each group gr of the same composition by
people, then save each portion in a separate file,

2. compute the frequency of 1's in x for each person by group
gr. So, mike will have freq=2/3, as he has two 1 and one 0 in 3
groups.


Thanks a lot,

Serguei Kaniovski


The data looks like:

person;gr;x

mike;gr1;1

jane;gr1;0

Re: [R] lme in R and Splus-7

   I used the function lme in R and Splus-7. With the same dataset and same
argument for the function, I got
 quite different estimation results from these two software. Anyone has this
experience before?

From the FAQ:

R by default uses treatment contrasts in the unordered case, whereas S uses the
Helmert ones. This is a deliberate difference reflecting the opinion that
treatment contrasts are more natural.

Re: [R] heatmap from xyz data

2007-02-06 Thread Vladimir Eremeev

You can use 

plot(y~x,col=color.index.in.palette.defined.from(z),pch=20,type=p)

where 

color.index.in.palette.defined.from(z)

is a function or an expression, returning either a color index in a
predefined palette or any other color representation, suitable for R. This
is described in ?par. 
I have successfuly used col=z*10 with your sample data.

type=p specifies, that points will be plotted.
pch=20 says to plot them as small filled circles, sometimes I needed smaller
circles, and pch=183 worked for me.

The package fields and several other packages related to the spatial
statistics are able to plot irregularly distributed point data and
interpolate them to a regular grid (produce a 'contiguous' map).

Here are some links:

http://sal.uiuc.edu/csiss/Rgeo/
http://r-spatial.sourceforge.net/

You can also try
RSiteSearch(spatial)
or
help.search(spatial)
from the R console

Re: [R] How-To construct a cov list to use a covariance matrix in factanal?

2007-02-06 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
The help page says

   covmat: A covariance matrix, or a covariance list as returned by
   'cov.wt'.  Of course, correlation matrices are covariance
   matrices.

and there is an example of a covariance list (ability.cov).

 factanal(factors = 2, covmat = ability.cov)
 factanal(factors = 2, covmat = ability.cov$cov)

both work.  See

 PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html

as we have no idea what you tried.

 Hi,

 I have a set of covariance matrices but not the original data. I want to 
 carry out some exploratory factor analysis. So, I am trying to construct 
 a covariance matrix list as the input for factanal. I can construct a 
 list which includes the cov, the centers, and the n.obs. But it doesn't 
 work. I get an error that says Error in sqrt(diag(cv)) : Non-numeric 
 argument to mathematical function. So, obviously I am doing something 
 wrong.

 Two questions occur. Can someone either tell me how to construct a 
 proper covmat list object or point me to a description of how to do it? 
 The other question is whether it is possible to simply use the 
 covariance matrix as the argument for covmat in factanal? The 
 description implies that it is but I really have no idea of how to do 
 this. I have tried simply making covmat the covariance matrix but it 
 doesn't wotk. I just get the message 'covmat' is not a valid covariance 
 list

 Anyway, thanks for any thoughts you might have on this.

[R] Conditional Sum

2007-02-06 Thread Bert Jacobs

Hi,

I would like to make a conditional sum for certain columns in a dataframe.

This is how my dataframe looks like:

Clinic Rep ColM1 ColM2 ColM3 ... ColM40
A  1 10  01
B  1 0-1 00
C  1 0-1 1-1 
A  2 11  -1   0
B  2 -1   0  01 
C  2 10  1   -1

I would like to have two new dataframes so that
Dataframe1: with the count of all 1

Clinic  ColM1  ColM2 ColM3 .. ColM40
A2  10 1
B0  00 1
C1  02 0

Dataframe2: with the count of all -1

Clinic  ColM1  ColM2 ColM3 .. ColM40
A0  01 0
B1  10 0
C0  10 2


Is there an easy way to achieve this.
Thx,

I believe that on Vista you need to do like other OS's, and run package 
installs at a higher security level than the default.  I don't have 
Vista so I've never done this, but I've been told you do it by right 
clicking on the R icon and choosing Run as administrator.

I'd be interested in hearing if this is true of all package installs, or 
only installs to C:/Program files.  Can you have a local library for 
your user, with only user permissions needed to modify packages there?
You'd test this by creating a library directory in your own file space, 
then using .libPaths() to add it to the library location list.  By 
default new installs would go there.

Re: [R] installing packages and windows vista

Hmm. As you might realize, there is as yet very little experience with
Vista to go around. Prepare to be quizzed...

The immediate suspicions would be permission problems. You might
consider changing directory to My Documents/R or whatever the
equivalent is on Vista, before you start installation (make sure it
exists, of course). You might also try something like

install.packages(ISwR, lib=mylib)

Again, first make sure that the directory exists. (Reason for suggesting
ISwR is that I know that that package has no uninstalled dependencies,
so it simplifies the issue.) One more thing to try would be to download
the package as a local Zip file and install from that.

[R] RES: RdbiPgSQL in R 2.4.1

2007-02-06 Thread Eduardo Dutra de Armas
Hi Seth
I'm running R on WinXP. On the first time I've installed Rdbi and RdbiPgSQL
from zip files not downloaded from Bioconductor. No problems during
installation.
Now I tried to install from biocLite and a message was showed for RdbiPgSQL.

 biocLite(c(Rdbi, RdbiPgSQL))
Running getBioC version 0.1.8 with R version 2.4.1
Running biocinstall version 1.9.9 with R version 2.4.1
Your version of R requires version 1.9 of Bioconductor.
Dependency ''RdbiPgSQL'' is not available
...

I gave a look at Bioconductor site, where I saw an Error report during
checking of BioC 1.9/RdbiPgSQL for Windows Server 2003. The same was
reported for another BioC releases.
Conclusion: Isn't possible access postgreSQL databases from R?

Thanks

Hi Eduardo,

It would probably be best to send question regarding Bioconductor
packages to the bioconductor email list.

Eduardo Dutra de Armas [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 Hi R-users

 I recently downloaded RdbiPgSQL 1.8.0 and Rdbi 1.8.0 from Bioconductor to
be
 installed under R 2.4.1.

 When requiring RdbiPgSQL an error message is showed as follows:

  

 require(RdbiPgSQL)

 Loading required package: RdbiPgSQL

 Error in library(package, lib.loc = lib.loc, character.only = TRUE,
logical
 = TRUE,   :

  RdbiPgSQL is not a valid package  installed  2.0.0?

  

 There is no issue about version restriction in Description file.

What OS are you running on?  How did you install the packages?  I'm
not able to reproduce the message you posted.

Perhaps try reinstalling using the biocLite install script.  Like
this:

source(http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R;)
biocLite(c(Rdbi, RdbiPgSQL))

NB: normally, you don't need to specify dependencies, but this way it
will reinstall Rdbi as well in case you have a bogus install...

[R] R in Industry

2007-02-06 Thread Doran, Harold
The other day, CNN had a story on working at Google. Out of curiosity, I
went to the Google employment web site (I'm not looking, but just
curious). In perusing their job posts for statisticians, preference is
given to those who use R and python. Other languages, S-Plus and
something called SAS were listed as lower priorities.

When I started using Python, I noted they have a portion of the web site
with job postings. CRAN does not have something similar, but think it
might be useful. I think R is becoming more widely used in industry and
I wonder if helping it move along a bit, the maintainer of CRAN could
create a section of the web site devoted to jobs where R is a
requirement.

Hence, we could have our own little monster.com kind of thing going
on. Of the multitude of ways the gospel can be spread, this is small.
But, I think every small step forward is good.

Anyone think this is useful? 

Harold

You are partly right: We don't have Windows binary packages available
for the RdbiPgSQL package.  The source package works on Linux and OS X
(if you have the appropriate tools to build source packages).

You might be able to connect using the RODBC package.

[R] Naming bring to top graphical Device

2007-02-06 Thread Sebastien Durand
Dear all,

Here is my questions:

1- Under a WINDOWS installation of R-2.4.1,  can 
we change the naming of a new ploting device open 
by the command windows()?. Instead of the 
default name e.g.: Device 2 I would like to use 
something like Density plot or whatever!


2- Under a MAC OS X installation of R-2.4.1, 
using quartz devices, is there a way to perform 
bringToTop operation like the one available under 
WINDOWS using bringToTop function.

Thank you very much for your time.

Cheers

Sébastien

[R] glm gamma scale parameter

2007-02-06 Thread WILLIE, JILL
I would like the option to specify alternative scale parameters when
using the gamma family, log link glm.  In particular I would like the
option to specify any of the following:

1.  maximum likelihood estimate
2.  moment estimator/Pearson's 
3.  total deviance estimator

Is this easy?  Possible?  

In addition, I would like to know what estimation process (maximum
likelihood?) R is using to estimate the parameter if somebody knows that
off the top of their head or can point me to something to read?  

I did read the help  search the archives but I'm a bit confused trying
to reconcile the terminology I'm used to w/R terminology as we're
transitioning to R, so if I missed an obvious way to do this, or stated
this question in a way that's incomprehensible, my apologies.

Re: [R] glm gamma scale parameter

2007-02-06 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
I think you mean 'shape parameter'.  If so, see the MASS package and 
?gamma.shape.

glm() _is_ providing you with the MLE of the scale parameter, but really

[R] A question regarding cex and pch=. in lattice

2007-02-06 Thread Saptarshi Guha
Hello,
I'm using lattice and opened an X11 device with the following call
X11(width=5,height=5,pointsize=1)
I then ran the following code

library(lattice)
x-rnorm(30,sd=2)
y-runif(30)
xyplot(y~x,pch=.,col=black,cex=1)

If i remove cex=1, not all the points are plotted. From ?X11, i  
read,pch='.' with cex=1 corresponds to a rectangle of sides the  
larger of one pixel and 0.01 inch

By way of information, i'm using a Dell 30, where the the pixel  
pitch is 0.250mm(0.0098 inch).

My question, why is that some of the points are not being plotted  
when remove cex=1 ?

Regards
Saptarshi

Re: [R] A question regarding cex and pch=. in lattice

2007-02-06 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
How do you know the points are not being plotted?

All you can tell is that your graphics card / monitor / X11 driver is not
displaying them, not at all the same thing.

My guess is that the rectangle is being displayed only if the differences 
in its discretized x and y coordinates are both positive.  R tries hard to 
ensure that pch='.', cex=1 does always display a point, but not for 
smaller cex.

Thank you.  You are correct, the shape parameter is what I need to
change  I think I see how to use the MASS package to do it...or if not,
at least I have enough now to figure it out.

A question to reconcile terminology which will speed me up, if you have
time to help me a bit more: phi = 'scale parameter' vs. 'dispersion
parameter' vs. 'shape parameter'?  Excerpt below from the R intro.
manual defining phi  the stats compliment discussion.

R intro:

distribution of y is of the form 
f_Y(y; mu, phi) = 
 exp((A/phi) * (y lambda(mu) - gamma(lambda(mu))) + tau(y, phi))
 
where phi is a scale parameter (possibly known), and is constant for all
observations, A represents a prior weight, assumed known but possibly
varying with the observations, and $\mu$ is the mean of y. So it is
assumed that the distribution of y is determined by its mean and
possibly a scale parameter as well.

Our (financial) firm has struggled immensely with finding appropriate
candidates and I believe this would be *tremendously* useful. I really hope
that your suggestion is implemented. Importantly, I believe it would help
create a commercial presence for R, and secondly reduce use of products like
S-Plus and SAS if the commercial appeal of the software would increase. The
two main drawbacks of R at our firm (as viewed by our IT dept) are lack of
guaranteed support as well as the difficulty in finding candidates.

R is a great solution and I hope to see it prosper.

[R] formula for test statistics of arima coefficients

2007-02-06 Thread Leeds, Mark \(IED\)
I have an object, ARestopt, that is the result of a call to the arima
function. I want to calculate test statistics ( null is coeffs are zero
) for each of the estimated coefficients.
My coefficents are in a vector called ARestopt$coef and my covariance
matrix is  ARestopt$var.coef. 
 
I thought my formula for calculating them should be  
 
ARestopt$coef/(sqrt(diag(ARestopt$var.coef)  
 
but then I started thinking about the square root of n in the variance
for estimates. do the variances in the covariance matrix already
incorporate square root of n or should i be putting a sqrt(n) in also ?
I've seen a similar formula in an R book somewhere but I can't recall
where.  If someone
could tell me if above is correct ( disregard the issue of the
covariance matrix maybe not being a consistent estimate of the
covariance ) or the book or doc where I have seen the formula , 
I  would really appreciate it.

[R] abbreviate dataframe for Sweave output

2007-02-06 Thread stubben
I wanted to print the first and last rows of some dataframes in Sweave 
using dots in columns to separate the two parts.  Head and tail almost 
work, but I have problems with factors and row names.

z-data.frame(id=letters[1:26], x=sample(1:26,26))

rbind(head(z,3), ., tail(z,1))

  id  x
1 a 18
2 b  8
3 c 14
4  NA  .
26z 10
Warning message:

I would like something like this if possible.  Any ideas?

Re: [R] R in Industry

2007-02-06 Thread Muenchen, Robert A (Bob)
That sounds like a good idea. The name R makes it especially hard to
find job postings, resumes or do any other type of search. Googling
resume+sas or job opening+sas is quick and fairly effective (less a
few airline jobs). Doing that with R is of course futile. At the risk of
getting flamed, it's too bad it's not called something more unique such
as Rpackage, Rlanguage, etc.

Cheers,
Bob

Subject: [R] R in Industry

The other day, CNN had a story on working at Google. Out of curiosity, I
went to the Google employment web site (I'm not looking, but just
curious). In perusing their job posts for statisticians, preference is
given to those who use R and python. Other languages, S-Plus and
something called SAS were listed as lower priorities.

When I started using Python, I noted they have a portion of the web site
with job postings. CRAN does not have something similar, but think it
might be useful. I think R is becoming more widely used in industry and
I wonder if helping it move along a bit, the maintainer of CRAN could
create a section of the web site devoted to jobs where R is a
requirement.

Hence, we could have our own little monster.com kind of thing going
on. Of the multitude of ways the gospel can be spread, this is small.
But, I think every small step forward is good.

Anyone think this is useful?

Re: [R] How-To construct a cov list to use a covariance matrix in factanal?

2007-02-06 Thread Alistair Campbell
Thanks for that Brian,

I have worked through the examples. They work because the covmat were produced 
by the cov.wt which provides output as a list object. I am trying to construct 
my own list object to use as the covmat. There are no obvious instructions on 
how to do this.

So, here is what I have done so far.

I reconstructed the covariance matrix in the example and created a dataframe:

  testmatrix
  general picture  blocks   maze reading   vocab
1  24.641   5.991  33.520  6.023  20.755  29.701
2   5.991   6.700  18.137  1.782   4.936   7.204
3  33.520  18.137 149.831 19.424  31.430  50.753
4   6.023   1.782  19.424 12.711   4.757   9.075
5  20.755   4.936  31.430  4.757  52.604  66.762
6  29.701   7.204  50.753  9.075  66.762 135.292

and then used this to construct a list object like the output from the example;

 tstcov- list(cov=testmatrix, center=c(0,0,0,0,0), n.obs=112)

I tested to see whether my list object looked like the examples

 tstcov
$cov
  general picture  blocks   maze reading   vocab
1  24.641   5.991  33.520  6.023  20.755  29.701
2   5.991   6.700  18.137  1.782   4.936   7.204
3  33.520  18.137 149.831 19.424  31.430  50.753
4   6.023   1.782  19.424 12.711   4.757   9.075
5  20.755   4.936  31.430  4.757  52.604  66.762
6  29.701   7.204  50.753  9.075  66.762 135.292

$centers
[1] 0 0 0 0 0

$n.obs
[1] 112

It looks the same. So I then used this list as the argument in factanal and get 
the error message.

 factanal(factors=2, covmat=tstcov, rotation=varimax)
Error in sqrt(diag(cv)) : Non-numeric argument to mathematical function

I know that what you see of a list is not necessarily all that is there. So, I 
figure I am missing some part of the object that makes this list suitable for 
use by factanal.

So, I hope this is enough detail. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Re: [R] abbreviate dataframe for Sweave output

2007-02-06 Thread Charles C. Berry

Chris,

Not precisely what you want (does both rows and columns), but can be 
specialized to your case easily.

Use with xtable in a chunk with 'results=tex' as in

xtable( dot.matrix( diag(10) ) )

Chuck

dot.matrix - function(x , rws=NULL, cls=NULL, in.math=FALSE )
{


   ## Purpose: prepare a matrix like object for xtable printing with
   ## embedded cdots and vdots to stand in for omitted rows and columns
   ## 
--
   ## Arguments: x - a data.frame or matrix,
   ##rws - rows to include , cls - cols to include ,
   ##in.math - in math mode? dont use $
   ## 
--
   ## Author: CCB, Date: 13 Jan 2007, 12:54

   if (length(rws)==1) {def.rows - rws;rws - NULL} else def.rows - 2
   if (length(cls)==1) {def.cols - cls;cls - NULL} else def.cols - 2

   if (in.math) {
 cdot - \\cdots
 vdot - \\vdots
 ddot - \\ddots
   } else {
 cdot - $\\cdots$
 vdot - $\\vdots$
 ddot - $\\ddots$

   x - as.data.frame(x)

   if (is.null(rws)) {
 rws - rownames(x)
 if (is.null(rws)) rws - seq(nrow(x))
 rws - list(head=head(rws,def.rows),tail=tail(rws,def.rows))
   }
   if (is.null(cls)) {
 cls - colnames(x)
 if (is.null(cls)) cls - seq(ncol(x))
 cls - list(head=head(cls,def.cols),tail=tail(cls,def.cols))
   }

   safe.dots - 
structure(list(factor(cdot,c(cdot,ddot))),names=cdot,row.names=as.integer(1),class=data.frame)

   head.rows - cbind( x[ rws$head, cls$head ,drop=FALSE ], safe.dots,

   mid.row - 
structure(matrix(rep(c(vdot,ddot,vdot),c(length(cls$head),1,length(cls$tail))),nr=1),

   tab - rbind(head.rows,mid.row,tail.rows)

   tab
}

Re: [R] R in Industry

2007-02-06 Thread Wensui Liu
I've been looking for job that allows me to use R/S+ since I got out
of graduate school 2 years ago but with no success. I am wondering if
there is something that can be done to promote the use of R in
industry.

It's been very frustrating to see people doing statistics using
excel/spss and even more frustrating to see people paying $$$ for
something much inferior to R.

I am trying to construct my own list object to use as the covmat. 
There are no obvious instructions on how to do this.

So, here is what I have done so far.

I reconstructed the covariance matrix in the example and created a dataframe:

and then used this to construct a list object like the output from

I tested to see whether my list object looked like the examples

The call to factanal requires you to specify that you have a 
covariance matrix (covmat).  Using your matrix and specifying two 
factors:


test.df

Re: [R] multinomial logistic regression with equality constraints?

2007-02-06 Thread Roger Levy
Hi again Jasjeet, Walter,

I have a further question about an error message I get when running 
multinomRob.  I am simulating a dataset where I look at the effect of 
making a previous categorical choice on the probability of making the 
same choice later on.  Given the following code:


n - 20
choice - c(A,B,C)
intercepts - c(0.5,0.3,0.2)
prime.strength - rep(0.4,length(intercepts))
counts - c()
for(i in 1:length(choice)) {
   u - intercepts[1:length(choice)]
   u[i] - u[i] + prime.strength[i]
   counts - c(counts,rmultinomial(n = n, pr = multinomLogis(u)))
}
dim(counts) - c(length(choice),length(choice))
counts - t(counts)
row.names(counts) - choice
colnames(counts) - choice
data - data.frame(Prev.Choice=choice,counts)

for(i in 1:length(choice)) {
   data[[paste(last,choice[i],sep=.)]] - 
ifelse(data$Prev.Choice==choice[i],1,0)
}

multinomRob(list(A ~ last.A ,
  B ~ last.B ,
  C ~ last.C - 1 ,
  ),
 data=data,
 print.level=1)


I get the following error:


multinomRob(): Grouped MNL Estimation
Error in if (logliklambda  loglik) bvec - blambda :
missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed
In addition: Warning message:
NaNs produced in: sqrt(sigma2GN)


It's not clear to me what this error means, or why the resulting dataset 
would be problematic for MLE estimation.

Many thanks once again!

Roger

Re: [R] R in Industry

2007-02-06 Thread Matthew Keller
Bob,

Far from flaming you, I think you made a good point - one that I
imagine most people who use R have come across. The name R is a big
impediment to effective online searches. As a check, I entered R
software, SAS software, SPSS software, and S+ software into
google. The R 'hit rate' was only ten out of the first 20 results (I
didn't look any further). For the other three software packages, the
hit rates were all 100% (20/20).

I do wonder if anything can/should be done about this. I generally
search using the term CRAN but of course, that omits lots of stuff
relevant to R. Any ideas about how to do effective online searches for
R related materials?

 It's been very frustrating to see people doing statistics using
 excel/spss and even more frustrating to see people paying $$$ for
 something much inferior to R.

  something called SAS were listed as lower priorities.
 
  When I started using Python, I noted they have a portion of the web site

  might be useful. I think R is becoming more widely used in industry and
  I wonder if helping it move along a bit, the maintainer of CRAN could
  create a section of the web site devoted to jobs where R is a
  requirement.
 
  Hence, we could have our own little monster.com kind of thing going
  on. Of the multitude of ways the gospel can be spread, this is small.
  But, I think every small step forward is good.
 
  Anyone think this is useful?

Re: [R] multinomial logistic regression with equality constraints?

2007-02-06 Thread Walter Mebane
Roger,

  Error in if (logliklambda  loglik) bvec - blambda :
   missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed
  In addition: Warning message:
  NaNs produced in: sqrt(sigma2GN)

That message comes from the Newton algorithm (defined in source file
multinomMLE.R).  It would be better if we bullet-proofed it a bit
more.  The first thing is to check the data.  I don't have the
multinomLogis() function, so I can't run your code.  But do you really
mean

  for(i in 1:length(choice)) {
and
  dim(counts) - c(length(choice),length(choice))

Should that be

  for(i in 1:n) {
and
  dim(counts) - c(n, length(choice))

or instead of n, some number m  length(choice).  As it is it seems to
me you have three observations for three categories, which isn't going
to work (there are five coefficient parameters, plus sigma for the
dispersion).

Otherwise, you can get more diagnostic messages by setting a
print.level greater than 32.  To have a bad value of sigma2GN is
unusual.

I should mention that supplying starting values won't help you,
because for multinomRob's primary purpose the ML estimates are
themselves no more than starting values.  So if you supply starting
values it will skip the ML step.

[R] Histogram of ones.

2007-02-06 Thread Dong H. Oh
Dear expeRts,


I'd like to picture histogram of ones.

For example,

 hist(rep(1, 100), col=lightblue, border=black)

A bin is pictured ranging on [0,1] and range of x axis is also [0,1].

How can I adjust the bin range from [0,1] to [0.9, 1] ?

I am looking forward to hearing from expeRt.


Sincerely,

[R] boxplot statistics in ggplot

2007-02-06 Thread Vikas Rawal
I need to make weighted boxplots. I found that ggplot makes them. I
would however like to label them with the boxplot statistics (the
median, q1 and q3). In the boxplot function in r-base, I could output
boxplot statistics and then write a text on the plot to place the
labels. How would one do it with ggplot?
