Dear Jan,

First, I inadvertently removed material on these displays from my web site
when the paper was published in Sociological Methodology 2006. I'll update
and repost the material some time in the next couple of days, including a
copy of the published paper (with a link on my home page). 

Second, the appendix to the paper and the originally posted examples didn't
include the code for Figure 8 (which is Figure 10 in the published version
of the paper). I'll add that.

Re: [R] logistic regression TRY LOGISTF

2007-03-15 Thread Jeff Miller
If Ted is right, then one work-around is to use Firth's method for penalized
log-likelihood. The technique is originally intended to reduce small sample
bias. However, it's now being extended to deal with complete and quasi
separation problems.

I believe the library is called logistf but I haven't had a chance to try
itI know the SAS version (called the fl macro) works fine.

You are trying to fit an equation

  P[y = 1 ; x] = exp((x-a)/b))/(1 + exp((x-a)/b))

to data

  x =   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10

  y =   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   1   1   1

by what amounts to a maximum-likelihood method, i.e. which chooses the
parameter values to maximize the probability of the observed values of y
(given the values of x).

The maximum probability possible is 1, so if you can find parameters which
make P[y = 1] = 0 for x = 1, 2, ... , 7 and P[y = 1] for x = 8, 9, 10 then
you have done it.

This will be approximated as closely as you please for any value of a
between 7 and 8, and sufficiently small values of b, since for such
parameter values P[y = 1 ; x] -> 0 for x < a, and -> 1 for x > a.

You therefore have a solution which is both indeterminate (any a such that 7
< a < 8) and singular (b -> 0). So it will defeat standard estimation
methods.

That is the source of your problem. In a more general context, this is an
instance of the "linear separation" problem in logistic regression (and
similar methods, such a probit analysis). Basically, this situation implies
that, according to the data, there is a perfect prediction for the results.

There is no well-defined way of dealing with it; any approach starts from
the proposition "this perfect prediction is not a reasonable result in the
context of my data", and continues by following up what you think should be
meant by "not a reasonable result". What this is likely to mean would be on
the lines of "b should not be that small", which then imposes upon you the
need to be more specific about how small b may reasonably be. Then carry on
from there (perhaps by fixing the value of b at different reasonable levels,
and simply fitting a for each value of b).

Hoping this helps ... but I'm wondering how it happens that you have such
data ... ??

best wishes,
Ted.

[R] Zero-inflated predictor

2007-03-08 Thread Jeff Miller
 
Hi all,

Does anyone know how to deal with a zero-inflated count PREDICTOR? I know we
can use ZIP, Hurdle, etc for zero-inflated response variables, but what if
the problem occurs with one of the covariates?

I have already found that the literature is correct in stating that any
transformation will just lead to a distribution with a different inflated
value, so the arcsin is out.

Thanks,
Jeff

I hope someone can help me with this.

 

Suppose I import a text file and one of the columns looks like this:

 

New York

Spain

Orlando

New York

England

France

 

I want to add a variable that is based on the previous one

 

US

Europe

How do that?

 

Also, I would like to be able to export the data as a text file that retains
this new variable.

 

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated,

[R] multiple R listservs?

2006-11-17 Thread Jeff Miller
I thought more about this last night after my email about putting an end to
"Read the Manual" replies.

 

It seems that there are a handful of R Super-Programmers. If I were one, I
would get tired of 100's of questions like "How can I get my Excel file into
R!!!". Concurrently, R is experiencing an exponential increase in new users
to the extent that there are now discussions about the use of R in academia.
Further, this increase is occurring across a breadth of disciplines. So, to
brush aside easy questions is to potentially brush aside new users and put
us in snooty-camp.

 

A potential solution is to offer two lists.one for newbies and one
for.umm.not-newbies. Some not-newbies may prefer subscribing to both and
setting up 2 email folders.

 

Jeff

Re: [R] Repeated measures by lme and aov give different results

2006-11-16 Thread Jeff Miller
Nothing personal against Spencer. However, I feel that the response was
similar to just saying, "Let's not use the listserv anymore". Personally, I
find most, if not all, of the questions to be very helpful. I use them to
learn the language. When something looks over-my-head, I put it in a folder
for future reference. It's nice now to respond to the easy questions...

I would also suggest an end to the "Why don't you read the R guides at
CRAN?" responses...unless accompanied by a response to the actual question.

Pushing people away from posting to the listserv seems to be against both
the purpose of a listserv and open-source ideology.

Jeff

P.S. I'm not sure why aov and lme gave you discrepant findings; however, I'm
not sure why anyone would use aov for this model.

On second thought, sometimes you need the .default (as in your case and for
t.test) but not always...for aov you just need getAnywhere(aov)

Not sure why...

It seems the best choices to get package code are

1. body()
2. methods()
3. methods("packagename","default")
4. methods("packagename","mod")
5. getAnywhere(packagename)
6. getAnywhere(packagename.default)

2006-10-29 Thread Jeff Miller
Does anyone know if the discriminant coefficients in lda are standardized?

 

Thanks,

Jeff

[R] disaggregating table

2006-10-22 Thread Jeff Miller
Hi all,

 

This should be easy, but I can't seem to figure it out.

 

I have a table like this named newtable

 

a1  a2  a3  a4  Cnts  Score

1 100 4  3.28

1 011 2  2.63

 

I want the following:

 

a1  a2  a3  a4  Cnts  Score

1 100 4  3.28

1 100 4  3.28

1 100 4  3.28

1 100 4  3.28

1 011 2  2.63

1 011 2  2.63

 

Actually, the Cnts column could be removed, but it doesn't matter if it
stays.

 

Anyone know how to disaggregate with Cnts as the index?

 

Thanks,

Jeff

Re: [R] superimposing histograms con't

2006-06-28 Thread Jeff Miller
I was just thinking about this last night.

I would like to do the same but WITH overlapping.

For example, I graph 2 sets of count data. Say the bars for the 1`s
overlap...I would like to show that with a different shading for the group
that has the higher frequency. For example, it could be black up to a
frequency of 5 followed by diagonal-dashes from 5-7 representing the higher
frequency of a second group.

Thank you,
Jeff Miller

Subject: [R] superimposing histograms con't

Earlier, I posted the following question:
I want to superimpose histograms from three populations onto the same graph,
changing the shading of the bars for each population. After  consulting the
help files and the archives I cannot find out how to do  this (seemly)
simple graph. To be clear, I want
- a single x axis (from -3 to 18)
 - three groups of bars forming the histograms of each population (they
will not overlap much, but this is a detail)
- the bars from each histogram having different shadings or other  visually
distinguishing features.
 
Gabor Grothendieck [EMAIL PROTECTED] pointed to some code to to this
but I have found another way that works even easier.
 
hist(x[sel1],xlim=c(a,b),ylim=c(A,B))  - this plots the histogram for the
first group (indexed by sel1) but with an x axis and a y axis that spans the
entire range.
 
par(new=T)  - to keep on the same graph
 
hist(x[sel2],main=Null,xlab=NULL,ylab=NULL,axes=F) -superimposes the second
histogram
 
par(new=T)  - to keep on the same graph
 
hist(x[sel3],main=Null,xlab=NULL,ylab=NULL,axes=F) -superimposes the third
histogram

[R] hurdle and zip model

2006-06-22 Thread Jeff Miller
This is more of a stats question, but since I'm using R.

 

Can someone tell me if the standard errors produced by hurdle(), zicounts(),
poisson, and the negative binomial formulations of three are directly
comparable? Why or why not? 

 

Thank you,

Jeff

[R] storing/retrieving simulation data

2006-06-14 Thread Jeff Miller
Hi all,

 

Would someone please provide efficient code for sending Monte Carlo
simulation results and/or graphs run by run to an output file. This is
followed by pulling the file back in for subsequent analyses.

 

This is probably topic-specific, so here is a basic example. Suppose I want
to examine R2 in multiple regression given X1 and X2. I set the 2 betas and
run 10,000 simulations of N=500. This is done separately for 3 different
correlations between X1 and X2 and for 2 distributions. Each of the 6 sets
of results should be stored separately. I then want to pull in the 6 files
to compare R2 between them.

 

What is the most efficient way to export and then import the results? I was
using SAS but got tired of the DATA/PROC step problems, and I hear that R is
simpler to implement.

 

Thanks in advance,

Jeff Miller

[R] variance specification using glm and quasi

2006-06-11 Thread Jeff Miller
Hi all,

 

Cameron and Trivedi in their 1998 Regression Analysis of Count Data refer to
NB1 and NB2

 

NB1 is the negative binomial model with variance = mu + (alpha * mu^1)
yielding (1+alpha)*mu

 

NB2 sets the power to 2; hence, variance = mu + (alpha*mu^2)

 

I think that NB2 can be requested via

 

negbin2<-glm(hhm~sex+age,family=quasi(var="mu^2",link="log"))

 

Is that right? If so, how I can get NB1? The quasi family appears to be very
limited in variance specification options.

 

Thanks,

Jeff

[R] zero-inflated mixed models

2006-05-07 Thread Jeff Miller
Does anyone know of an existing R package or code to run a mixed Hurdle
model?

 

I found glmmADMB, but that seems to be ZIP.

 

Any recommendations?

 

Thanks,

Jeff
