[R] How to bootstrap Kaplan-Miere estimator with 95% envelope

2004-09-13 Thread wanr
Hi all,

Given a typical right-censoring data which contains a time variable and a 
censoring indicator. How do we bootstrap samples to obtain a 95% envelope 
for the estimated cumulative hazard function?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [R] Discrepency between R and MlwiN

 When playing around fitting unconditional growth models using R and MlwiN today, I 
 produced two different sets of estimates that I can't reconcile and wondered if

 The data is two-level repeated measures data with measures nested within child. 
 There are two measures per child. I've fit an unconditional growth model as in 
 Singer and Willet (2003) that allows for variable intercepts
 and slopes.
 
 The R code for the analysis is:
 
 model.uncgrowth.2lev - lme(math ~ grade, mathdata, random=~grade|studentid)
 
 The fixed effects estimates for the intercept and slope are the same
 between MlwiN and R. It's the random effects estimates that differ. In
 particular, the residual error variance is ZERO using MlwiN and
 significantly non-zero using R. It appears that MlwiN perfectly fits
 lines to each of the two data points supplied for each student and R
 does not. The two program yield the same results when the covariate
 grade is treated as a fixed effect. Also, I used REML on both R and
 MlwiN.
 
 Anyone have any idea how to explain this descrpency?

Are there always two points per student?  If so, your model is not
identifiable (in so far as I understand what you are doing) and there is
an infinite set of parameters which give the same restricted likelihood.
Please check if the latter is the case for the two sets of results.

For each student you have a random intercept, a random slope and 
measurement error at each point.  That's 4 random variables to explain 2 
observations.

In short, you appear to have chosen a model that overfits.

[R] do.call(dim- , ... )

 OK guys
another problem.  I have a 3D array x with dim(x)=c(a,a,b^2)
and I want to rearrange the elements of x to make a matrix y
with dimensions c(a*b,a*b).  Neither a nor b is known in advance.
I want the n-th a*a submatrix of y to be x[,,n] (where 1 = n =

Toy example with a=2, b=3 follows:

So
identical(x[,,1] , y[1:2,1:2])
identical(x[,,2] , y[3:4,1:2])

[R] Adding ranks to a repeatedly ragged array

How can I add an extra column containing the rank

factors?

E.g. with the barley dataset: 
How can I to add an additional column ``rank''
containing the rank of the ``yield'' of
the different varieties in relation to the indices
``year'' and ``site'' to the barley dataframe?

I achieved to calculate the ranks with:
rank.lists -
with( barley, tapply( yield, list( site=site, year=year ), rank ) )
but I do not manage to merge this result
to the original dataframe ``barley''.

Re: [R] Adding ranks to a repeatedly ragged array

2004-09-13 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
What do you mean by `a repeatedly ragged array': you haven't defined it?

There is no dataset `barley' in vanilla R.  Which one did you mean?
There is a data frame in package lattice, but that is neither an array nor 
ragged.

If that is what you want, rank.lists will be a list matrix.  The easiest
thing to do is to find out the corresponding row numbers and assign there.

pos - with(barley, tapply(1:120, list(site=site, year=year), na.pass))
barley[unlist(pos), ranks] - unlist(rank.lists)

[R] an integration question

2004-09-13 Thread Vito Muggeo
Dear all,
I'm stuck on a problem concerning integration..Results from the analytical
expression and numerical approximation (as returned by integrate()) do not
match.
It probably depends on some error of mine, so apologizes for this off-topic
question.

I'm interested in computing the integral of f where:
f-function(x){exp(-3-.2*pmin(x-7.5,0))}
x-seq(0,15,length=50)
plot(x, f(x),type=l)

Using the integrate() function, I get reasonable results
a-sapply(x, function(xx)integrate(f,0,xx)[[1]])
plot(x, a,type=l)

Using analytical expression, the primitive of f is (or should be..)
F-function(x){exp(-3-.2*pmin(x-7.5,0))/(-.2*I(x7.5))}
plot(x,(F(x)-F(0)), type=l)

The problem is that for x7.5 the denominator (-.2*I(x7.5)) is zero and
then the primitive function F(.) goes to infinity. On the other hand
integrate() provides finite (as it should be, I believe) output. For x7.5
everything works.

 F(10)-F(0)
[1] -Inf
..
 integrate(f,0,10)
0.9911831 with absolute error  1.1e-14

 F(5)-F(0)
[1] 0.7052258
..
 integrate(f,0,5)
0.7052258 with absolute error  7.8e-15

Hence I think there is an error in the expression of H(.), but I can not
figure out where it is..Please can anyone help me? I would like to get an
analytical expression for F.

Many thanks,

vito

Actually, I don't think that's necessarily a problem (more r.v.'s than

same for each student, you have an empirical covariance matrix (3
values) and explain it using the variance of A, and B, and the
covariance between them, *and* the residual error, i.e. four
parameters, and that surely is a problem.

 In short, you appear to have chosen a model that overfits.

Yup. And the current lme() algorithm is not very good at detecting
such singularities, although it should be apparent from the covariance
matrix of the random-effects parameters.

 Run perfectly on the server, with a creation of a button on the display.
 
  
 
 But the same instructions, on the X11 client, create the button and
 immediately crash the R session and destroy the button.

 thanks for this.   Very much appreciated.
 
 The original subject line reflected my late-night conviction
 that the answer might involve passing a strange list to do.call().
 
 Anyway, package magic is broken (only in R-devel, I might 
 add)  because I have
 a function called %eq%.
 
 R-2.0.0  CMD check is stopping (I think) because it interprets  the 
 % as a control character.
 
 Does anyone have a best-practice  example of a package  that 
 includes a
 function like %eq% that I could modify?  In particular, how do I get
 \usage{m1 %eq% m2}  and \examples{..}  to work nicely?

Is there a way to do the equivalent of a lmList (fit separate models for each subject) 
in the package nlme for a glm? 

Thank you very much,

Re: [R] bagplot()

2004-09-13 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
There is no bagplot function in S-PLUS.

There is one by Rousseeuw et al for S at

http://www.agoras.ua.ac.be/Locdept.htm

and a reply in the archives about the problems of porting at:

http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/03b/4916.html

My guess is that like several other cases, R porting has exposed bugs in
the original code.

RE: [R] Variable Importance in pls: R or B? (and in glpls?)

2004-09-13 Thread Berton Gunter
Christoph:

I noted that there were not a great number of people leaping to reply. One
reason, I suspect, is that there's really NO GOOD ANSWER to this question.
First, there is a huge literature on this -- it's related to variable
selection in regression and shrinkage estimates, but, in general,
parsimonious model building; second, as Ron Wehrens already noted, when
variables are correlated -- which could have as much to do with the vagaries
of the sampling as to real physical causality -- the whole notion of
variable importance is problematic. Fact is, **any** attempt to rank the
contributions of particular variables to PLS components from undesigned data
(the usual case) is fraught with hazard. For that reason, it is perhaps best
to view pls as merely a way of developing a good predictor, not as a way to
uncover causal relationships. I know this is often unsatisfying to
scientists trying to build parsimonious mechanistic models (= physical
theories), especially as there is quite often little likelihood that the
data are representative of any underlying population and therefore capable
of predicting anything, but it is the statistical reality.

For a more informed, more interesting, and more eloquent discussion of these
and related issues, you might look up Leo Breiman's writings on his web site
and his way of trying to assess variable importance in his Random Forest
methodology, which is available in the package randomForest on CRAN. (I make
no claim about the effectiveness of this approach -- only that it is clearly
different way of approaching the issue that clearly reveals the dilemmas).

 Subject: [R] Variable Importance in pls: R or B? (and in glpls?)
 
 Dear R-users, dear Ron
 
 I use pls from the pls.pcr package for classification. Since 
 I need to 
 know which variables are most influential onto the classification 
 performance, what criteria shall I look at:
 
 a) B, the array of regression coefficients for a certain 
 model (means a 
 certain number of latent variables) (and: squared or absolute values?)
 
 OR
 
 b) the weight matrix RR (or R in the De Jong publication; in Ding  
 Gentleman this is the P Matrix and called 'loadings')? (and again: 
 squared or absolute values?)
 
 
 
 and what about glpls (glpls1a) ?
 shall I look at the 'coefficients' (regression coefficients)?
 
 Thanks for clarification

 Did you do a search at www.r-project.org - R site search?  
Searching for .dbf there just now exposed a read.shape function in 
the maptools package. 

 hope this helps.

[R] calculating memory usage

2004-09-13 Thread Adaikalavan Ramasamy
I am comparing two different algorithms in terms of speed and memory
usage. I can calculate the processing time with proc.time() as follows
but am not sure how to calculate the memory usage.

   ptm - proc.time()
   x - rnorm(100)
   proc.time() - ptm

I would like to be within R itself since I will test the algorithm
several hundred times and in batch mode. So manually looking up 'top'
may not be feasible. help.seach(memory) suggests memory.profile and gc
but I am not sure how to use these.

Sorry if this is a basic question. Thank you.

I don't think you can.  You can find out how much memory R is using NOW, 
but not the peak memory usage during a calculation.  Nor is that 
particularly relevant, as it depends on what was gone on before, the word 
length of the platform and the garbage collection settings.

On Windows, starting in a clean session, calling gc() and memory.size(), 
then calling your code and memory.size(max=TRUE) will give you a fair 
idea, but `top' indicates some Unix-alike.

 Initially, there is no seed;  a new one is created from the

  '.Random.seed' is an integer vector, containing the random number

 be saved and restored, but should not be altered by the user.

So .Random.seed does not exist until the state does.  It will after

[R] R in Linux Redhat 9.0

2004-09-13 Thread Bryan Tseng
Hi, my name is Bryan and I just installed R on my Redhat 9.0. I
imported the key from the net as directed, and tested the integreity
of the rpm package- it was fine. I then went ahead and installed the
i386.rpm package and the installation was carried to completion.

However, now I have a hard time finding and opening R, which I just
installed. Does someone know what's going on? I'm a relatively new
user to linux, but I don't think I did anything wrong in term of
installing the software. But I don't know.

[R] Measures of association for ordinal data

2004-09-13 Thread Christof Bigler
In a classification problem with ordinal data (classes 1 - 4), I used 
multidimensional optimization to maximize gamma (Goodman's measure of 
association) between observations and predictions. This resulted in the 
following frequency table (rows = observations, columns = predictions):

 1 234  sum
  1  16993148542721875
  2   1308 01691   1203119
  3   1427 14587   4346449
  4289  01965   5932847
sum   20017   2   13097  1174
Predictions for class 1 are fairly good, however, classes 2 and 4 are 
underrepresented and class 3 is overrepresented, as shown by the 
marginal sums.
Is there any measure of association implemented in R that takes into 
account the prevalence of certain classes?

Thanks for your help!

[R] R CMD SHLIB setup problem...

When I try and compile a shared library (on WinXP) I get the following
error:  

E:\data\projR CMD SHLIB toy_dll.c

Has someone else had this error and fixed it? 

This code compiles and works fine on Linux (fedora core 2). Everything
was working fine under R1.8.1 but I've broken something when I upgraded
to R1.9.1. 

So I am assuming something weird has happened in the windows paths etc.
If anyone has some tips as to where to look I'd be extremely grateful.
I've been through the path and environment variables etc many times but
can't see where the error is. Though I realize it's likely to be staring
me in the face...

Re: [R] How to show the symbol of Angstrom ?

2004-09-13 Thread Paul Murrell
Hi
xiang li wrote:
Also, I am wondering if there is any source where the expressions of 
many symbols are collected.
Thanks you very much!!!

(Assuming you mean draw the angstrom symbol on a plot ...)
There are several ways:
(i) Specify the character code in octal.  Assuming ISO Latin 1 encoding, 
something like ...
  plot(1, type=n)
  text(1, 1, \305)
... or ...
  grid.newpage()
  grid.text(\305)
... should work.  That should be ok on default setups for Windows and 
Unix.  On the Mac it might have to be \201 (untested)  See, e.g., 
http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso8859.html#ISO-8859-1 (Unix)
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/unicode/1252.gif (Windows)
http://kodeks.uni-bamberg.de/Computer/CodePages/MacStd.htm (Mac)
for other standard symbols.

(ii) Use a mathematical expression.  This won't look as good because the 
ring and the A are not a single coherent glyph, but it should work 
everywhere ...
  plot(1, type=n)
  text(1, 1, expression(ring(A)))
... or ...
  grid.newpage()
  grid.text(expression(ring(A)))
... demo(plotmath) shows the range of things you can do with this approach.

(iii) Use a hershey font (again, should work on all platforms and 
encodings) ...
  plot(1, type=n)
  text(1, 1, \\oA, vfont=c(sans serif, plain))
... or ...
  grid.newpage()
  grid.text(\\oA, gp=gpar(fontfamily=HersheySans))
... demo(Hershey) shows the symbols available with this approach.

Hope that helps.

Haven't had the error, but the usual suspects are:

 - You're getting the wrong make.  Follow the readme.packages
instructions for setting up your path, and make sure make --version
tells you you're running GNU Make.

 - Something has messed up your Makevars file.  Does it look normal in

[R] as.integer(TRUE)

2004-09-13 Thread Tamas K Papp
The fact that as.integer(TRUE) is 1 (and that for FALSE, it gives
zero) is a really nice feature, eg when constructing piecewise
functions (for example, as in -x*(x0)+x*(x=0)) and for many other
things.

Since I haven't found a reference about this, I just wanted to ask
whether this is officialy part of the language or just a side effect
(ie I want to know whether it is here to stay and if it is prudent to
use this).

Thanks

So I assume this is correct? (And the compiler is definitely GNU make). 

When I tried to recompile another bit of C code I got the following
error:

make: *** No rule to make target `C:/PROGRA~1/R/rw1081/src/include/R.h',
needed by `filter_norm.o'.
 Stop.

So it looks like its looking for the R 1.8.1 versions of R.h. I just
can't work out why. I've dumped SET to a file and checked that nothing
on the path or any of the environment variables point to the old
directory. It all looks OK to me. 

As far as I am aware nothing here uses the windows registry so I am
assuming there shouldn't be any problems there.  

Cheers 
T.

Has someone else had this error and fixed it? 

Haven't had the error, but the usual suspects are:

 - You're getting the wrong make.  Follow the readme.packages
instructions for setting up your path, and make sure make --version
tells you you're running GNU Make.

 - Something has messed up your Makevars file.  Does it look normal in
a reasonable text editor?

[R] drawing on axes

2004-09-13 Thread Tamas K Papp
Hi,

I would like to make certain portions of axis lines thicker (as Tufte
suggests).  How can I draw on axes?  I only need a couple of line
segments on the left and bottom one.

Thanks

Tamas

[R] Signs of loadings from princomp on Windows

2004-09-13 Thread Francisco Chamu
I start a clean session of R 1.9.1 on Windows and I run the following code:

 library(MASS)
 data(painters)
 pca.painters - princomp(painters[ ,1:4])
 loadings(pca.painters)

Loadings:
Comp.1 Comp.2 Comp.3 Comp.4
Composition  0.484 -0.376  0.784 -0.101
Drawing  0.424  0.187 -0.280 -0.841
Colour  -0.381 -0.845 -0.211 -0.310
Expression   0.664 -0.330 -0.513  0.432

   Comp.1 Comp.2 Comp.3 Comp.4
SS loadings  1.00   1.00   1.00   1.00
Proportion Var   0.25   0.25   0.25   0.25
Cumulative Var   0.25   0.50   0.75   1.00
 

However, if I rerun the same analysis, the loadings of the first 
component have the opposite sign (see below), why is that?  I have
read the note
in the princomp help that says

The signs of the columns of the loadings and scores are arbitrary,
 and so may differ between different programs for PCA, and even
 between different builds of R.
 
However, I still would expect the same signs for two runs in the same session.

 pca.painters - princomp(painters[ ,1:4])
 loadings(pca.painters)

Loadings:
Comp.1 Comp.2 Comp.3 Comp.4
Composition -0.484 -0.376  0.784 -0.101
Drawing -0.424  0.187 -0.280 -0.841
Colour   0.381 -0.845 -0.211 -0.310
Expression  -0.664 -0.330 -0.513  0.432

   Comp.1 Comp.2 Comp.3 Comp.4
SS loadings  1.00   1.00   1.00   1.00
Proportion Var   0.25   0.25   0.25   0.25
Cumulative Var   0.25   0.50   0.75   1.00
 
 R.version 
 _  
platform i386-pc-mingw32
arch i386   
os   mingw32
system   i386, mingw32  
status  
major1  
minor9.1
year 2004   
month06 
day  21 
language R  
 

BTW, I have tried the same in R 1.9.1 on Debian and I can't reproduce
what I see
on Windows.  In fact all the runs give the same as the second run on Windows.

RE: [R] drawing on axes

2004-09-13 Thread Lorenz . Gygax

 I would like to make certain portions of axis lines thicker (as Tufte
 suggests).  How can I draw on axes?  I only need a couple of line
 segments on the left and bottom one.

How about:

plot (1, 1, xlim= c (-10, 10), bty= 'n')
axis (1, at= c (-10, -5), labels= FALSE, tick= T, lwd= 5, tck= 0)
axis (1, at= c (0, 3), labels= FALSE, tick= T, lwd= 5, tck= 0)
axis (2, at= c (0.8, 1), labels= FALSE, tick= T, lwd= 5, tck= 0)

Cheers, Lorenz
