I would like to thank very much everybody taking part in discussion.
Does an answer above suggest that I can open two R console and do
simulations simultaneously? If so, all simulations take more or less 1/2
times - or much less then doing it in turn? 

During our discussion one mentioned that RAM is important. But in my
computing I do not use up more then 500 MB. I have 786 MB it means
(probably) that I have enough.  
Am I right?

Best,
Rob

[R] Speed up R

2007-06-19 Thread Robert McFadden
Dear R Users,
I hope that there is someone who has an experience with a problem that I
describe below and will help me. 
I must buy new desktop computer and I'm wondering which processor to choose
if my only aim is to speed up R. I would like to reduce a simulation time -
sometimes it takes days. I consider buying one of them (I'm working under
Win XP 32 bit):  
1. Intel Core2 Duo E6700 2.67 GHz
2. Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 3070 - 2,66 GHz
3. AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+
Or simple Pentium 4?

I'm very confused because I'm not sure whether R takes advantage dual-core
or not. If not, probably Athlon would be better, wouldn't be? 
I would appreciate any help.
Rob

Use Mann-Whitney U test, but remember about 2 assumption:
1. samples come from continuous distribution (there are no tied
obserwations)
2. distributions are identical in shape. It's very similar to t-test but
Mann-Whitney U test is not as affected by violation of the homogeneity of
variance assumption as t-test is.

[R] software comparison

2007-04-15 Thread Robert McFadden
Dear R Users,
May be you are interested in an article that compares 9 statistical
softwares (including R).
Any comments are appreciate.  

Article:
Keeling, Kellie B.; Pavur, Robert J."A comparative study of the reliability
of nine statistical software packages" Computational Statistics and Data
Analysis, Volume: 51, Issue: 8, 2007, pp. 3811-3831


Abstract
The reliabilities of nine software packages commonly used in performing
statistical analysis are assessed and compared. The
(American) National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) data sets
are used to evaluate the performance of these software
packages with regard to univariate summary statistics, one-way ANOVA, linear
regression, and nonlinear regression. Previous
research has examined various versions of these software packages using the
NIST data sets, but typically with fewer software
packages than used in this study. This study provides insight into a
relative comparison of a wide variety of software packages
including two free statistical software packages, basic and advanced
statistical software packages, and the popular Excel package.
Substantive improvements from previous software reliability assessments are
noted. Plots of principal components of a measure of
the correct number of significant digits reveal how these packages tend to
cluster for ANOVA and nonlinear regression.

Rob

[R] merge words=data name

2007-02-11 Thread Robert McFadden
I would like to merge two parts of words to get a name of the data. First
M3$N (invariable) and second is a number from 0001 to 3003 -
M3$N0001,M3$N0002,...,M3$N3003. For example if I do it like this:
my.data <- paste("M3$N",2456,sep="")
I get
> my.data
[1] "M3$N2456"
But I want to get something equivalent to
my.data<- M3$N2456

Is there any way to do it? 
It's important, because the second part are randomly chosen.
(The data that I would like to extract are in package Mcomp.)  

Thanks in advance,
Rob

[R] change the name of file

2006-07-24 Thread Robert Mcfadden

Dear R Users,
Is it possible to make file names dependent on a changing variable?
For instance. I generate random numbers in a loop and at each iteration I
want data to write to file (I do not want to write everything in one file
using 'append'):

for (i in 1:50){
x<-matrix(runif(100, min=0,max=1),nrow=5,ncol=20)
Write(t(x),file="Data_i.txt",ncolumns=5,sep="\t") 
}   

Of course file name Data_i.txt will be the same for changing i,
unfortunately. 

Any suggestion would be appreciate
Robert

[R] get rid of error in Factor Analysis

2006-07-19 Thread Robert Mcfadden
Dear All,

I wrote a program and there is a loop. At each iteration I use maximum
likelihood factor analysis (?factanal). Output of factor analysis I use
later (in this loop). Unfortunately from time to time I get an error message
(I paste it below) and everything is stopped. Is it possible to write a
condition that if error appears in factor analysis (FA), change input data
for FA and do it again? Example

 

for (i in 1:1000){

FA<-factanal(data,factor=3)

If error appears change data to data2 and do factor analysis again

#rest of the program  





}

 

Best,

Robert 



Error in optim(start, FAfn, FAgr, method = "L-BFGS-B", lower = lower,  : 

L-BFGS-B needs finite values of 'fn'

In addition: Warning message:

You can use package (available at R page) poLCA that has documentation
describing what you want. Look also at http://dlinzer.bol.ucla.edu/poLCA/
As far as you know BIC, AIC (based on chi-sqr and G^2 statistics) and
Cressie-Read allow you to choose the most appropriate model.

The null hypothesis: the data is normally distributed.
If p-value > \alpha (significance level) it means that there is no evidence
to reject null hypothesis. Otherwise you reject - your data is not normally
distributed.

[R] print color

2006-07-10 Thread Robert Mcfadden
Dear R Users,

Is it possible to make R print the largest item in each row of a matrix X
with red font? Example:

1247

8431  

...

Therefore 7 and 8 should be in red color.

I would appreciate any suggestion

Robert McFadden

Thank you very much. Round(x, digids=2) works perfect.

?round, possibly

format(rounf(x, 2), nsmall = 2)

if you want exactly 2 decimal places.

[R] Decimal places

2006-05-24 Thread Robert Mcfadden
Hello,

I would like to force R to print 2 decimal places. I use options(digits=2)
but as far as I know it prints significant digits so in certain cases is
more then 2.

Is there other way to do it?

Best,

Robert

[R] Matrix in 3D

2006-05-22 Thread robert-mcfadden
Dear R Users,
Is it possible to add another (third) index to matrix (as in MATLAB). For some 
analysis e.g. finite mixture models is necessary. Simple example

i<-3
matrix[, , i]<-matrixA[, ,i]%*%matrixB[, , i]

I would appreciate any help
Rob

[R] iteration history

2006-02-06 Thread Robert Mcfadden
Dear R Users
I would like to use optim function to optimize a function. I read help but I
couldn't find what I need: is it possible to get information after each
iteration, for example as there is in MATLAB:
Gradient's 
 Iteration  Func-count   f(x)Step-size  infinity-norm
 0  24  388.97614
 1  72   385.67  0.0292637   16.8  
 2  96   383.54  1   4.15  
 3 120  383.412  1  0.108  
 4 144  383.412  1  0.002  
 5 168  383.412  10.00149  
 6 192  383.412  1  6.23e-005  
 7 216  383.412  1  1.01e-005  
   

It is useful when iteration takes long time - I know what's happen
I would appreciate any suggestion

Robert
