Dear all, I want to estimate a crossed-random-effects model (i.e., measurements, students, schools) where students migrate between schools over time. I'm interested in the fixed effects of "SES", "age" and their interaction on "read" (reading achievement) while accounting for the sample design. Ba

Why would anyone want to fit a mixture of normals with 110 million observations?? Any questions about the distribution that you would care to ask can be answered directly from the data. Of course, any test of normality (or anything else) would be rejected. More to the point, the data are certainly

If you are going to read it back into R, then use 'save'; if it is input to another applicaiton, consider 'write.csv'. I assume that when you say "save all my data files" you really mean "save all my R objects". On 8/7/07, Tiandao Li <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > I am new to R. I used s

Assuming *A* animal can only be in one location at any one time, I don't understand how once you have selected the location nearest 12pm how you can select based on the type of location? Do you mean to select on location before timei.e. from the best location visited that day which was closest

I would hope that you don't have 100 'scan' statements; you should just have a loop that is using a set of file names in a vector to read the data. Are you reading the data into separate objects? If so, have you considered reading the 100 files into a 'list' so that you have a single object with

You don't have to name them after numbers. What I sent was just an example of a character vector with file names. If you have all the files in a directory, then you can set the loop to read in all the files (or selected one based on a pattern match). If you are copy/pasting the 'scan' command, t
