[R] Change plot order in lattice xyplot

2010-09-08 Thread Paul Simonin
Greetings,

I am writing with a question regarding plotting using the xyplot command in 
lattice. I currently have the commands shown below, but I need to produce a 
plot that orders the Month variable differently. I was told to use the 
lattice.options command (shown below) to change the plot order, and this helped 
by starting the plot at a point other than the bottom-left origin, but this did 
not transpose the plot in the way I need. I need the plot to begin with June, 
then July, August, September, October, beginning at the top left side of the 
plot area. Does anyone now how to make this happen?

A section of my data and the commands I am currently using are shown below. 
Thank you for any assistance!
Data:


Month
Log10_echo_integration_dens
Log10_trawl_dens
June
-2.55876
-2.74726
June
-2.24346
-3.7015
July
-3.14616
-2.83227
July
-2.69961
-3.7015
August
-2.96135
-3.7015
August
-2.29246
-2.29232
September
-2.2096

September
-1.80488
-1.81614
October
-2.28896
-1.84266
October
-2.4
-2.35319


#Commands
lattice.options(default.args = list(as.table = TRUE))
xyplot(Log10_trawl_dens~Log10_echo_integration_dens | Month, data = 
(subset(T.A., Net_Type==T)),ylim=c(-4,0),xlim=c(-4,0),xlab=Log density from 
hydroacoustics (integration),ylab=Log density from Tucker 
trawl,main=Density estimates, Tucker Trawl, cex=1.5)

Best,
Paul S.

   I have one quick question: How do you do a Tukey test on an ANCOVA?

Thanks for any tips!

[R] Fonts and axes using persp3d

2009-12-11 Thread Paul Simonin

Greetings,

 I am making 3D plots using persp3d, and would like to set z-axis 
limits and make axis labels (the automatic numbers at tick marks) bold. 
I have tried zlim, but this does not seem to force the plot to 
restrain itself within certain bounds (e.g., 0-1). The surface I am 
plotting (z values) does contain some values outside the range I am 
setting. Maybe this overrides the zlim? Is there a way to fix this 
without manually removing negative z values?
 Also, is there any way to make the numerical axis labels bold, or 
generally darker or larger?


My code currently reads:

xtemp   - 6:22
ylight  - seq(from=-7.5, to=-5, by=0.5)
wDeltaT - 0
code- 1
grid.tld - expand.grid(temp=xtemp, logwm2=ylight, DeltaT=wDeltaT, 
code=code)   
YaoRasPred-predict(YaoRas.Distribution.T.L.DT.gamm$gam,newdata=grid.tld,se.fit=T)


Rel.Dens - matrix(YaoRasPred$fit, nrow=17 , byrow=F)   # use predict 
instead here

library(rgl)
persp3d(xtemp,ylight,Rel.Dens, 
zlim=c(min=0.0,max=0.032),xlab=,ylab=,zlab=,col=gray)





Thanks for any advice, and thanks again to Duncan Murdoch for suggesting 
persp3d for my purposes!


Sincerely,
Paul Simonin

[R] 3-D Plotting of predictions from GAM/GAMM object

2009-11-21 Thread Paul Simonin

Hello all,
 Thank you for the previous assistance I received from this listserve!
 My current question is: How can I create an appropriate matrix of 
values from a GAM (actually a GAMM) to make a 3-D plot? This model is 
fit as a tensor product spline of two predictors and I have used it to 
make specific predictions by calling:


YoyRasPred6-predict(YoyRas.Distribution.T.L.DT.gamm$gam,newdata=YoyRasSubset6,se.fit=T)

However, this type of command, I believe, produces only a vector of 
values. I have plotted these values and know how to do so in 2-D. 
However, I would like to create a 3-D plot, which I believe will require 
an entire matrix of predictions (z values) based on all possible inputs 
(x and y values). What is an efficient way to do this? It seems there 
must be a better way than simply predicting vector after vector ... as I 
am now, then piecing these together.


Thank you very much for any answers or assistance in general! Best wishes.

Sincerely,
Paul Simonin

[R] Fortran vs R

2009-09-23 Thread Paul Simonin

Hello R users,
 I have a basic computer programing question. I am a student 
currently taking a course that uses Fortran as the main programming 
language, but the instructors are open to students using any language 
they are familiar with. I have used R previously, and am wondering if 
there is any benefit to my learning Fortran, or whether I should stick 
with R for this class. Any advice? Are there clear benefits to using 
Fortran, or things Fortran can do that R cannot?

Thank you very much for any thoughts!
Sincerely,
Paul S.

[R] Comparing GAMMs

2009-07-08 Thread Paul Simonin

Greetings!
 I am looking for advice regarding the best way to compare GAMMs. I 
know other model outputs return enough information for R's AIC, ANOVA, 
etc. commands to function, but this is not the case with GAMM unless one 
specifies the gam or lme portion. I know these parts of the gamm contain 
items that will facilitate comparisons between gamms. Is it correct to 
simply use these values for this purpose? For example, the lme portion 
of the gamm returns a log liklihood value that could be used to 
calculate information criteria. However, I am wondering whether entire 
gamms be compared using this, or only the lme part.
 Maybe my thinking about the lme and gam portions of gamms is 
incorrect? If this appears to be the case, let me know! In general, if 
someone could clarify my understanding in any way it would be much 
appreciated.

Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
Paul Simonin

[R] Model fitting with GAM and by term

2009-06-23 Thread Paul Simonin

Hello R Users,
I have a question regarding fitting a model with GAM{mgcv}. I have data 
from several predictor (X) variables I wish to use to develop a model to 
predict one Y variable. I am working with ecological data, so have data 
collected many times (about 20) over the course of two years. Plotting 
data independently for each date there appears to be relationships 
between Y (fish density) and at least several X variables (temperature 
and light). However, the actual value of X variables (e.g., temperature) 
changes with date/season. In other words, fish distribution is likely 
related to temperature, but available temperatures change through the 
season. Thus, when data from all dates are combined to create a model 
from the entire dataset, I think I need to include some type of 
metric/variable/interaction term to account for this date relationship. 
I have written the following code using a by term:


Distribution.s.temp.logwm2.deltaT-gam(yoyras~s(temp,by=datecode)+s(logwm2,by=datecode)+s(DeltaT,by=datecode),data=AllData) 



However, I am not convinced this is the correct way to account for this 
relationship. What do you think? Is there another way to include this in 
my model? Maybe I should simply include date (datecode) as another 
term in the model?


I also believe there may be an interaction between temperature and 
light (logwm2), and based on what I have read the by method may be the 
best way to include this. Correct?


Thank you for any input, tips, or advice you may be able to offer. I am 
new to R, so especially grateful!


Thanks again,
Paul Simonin
