[R] hatvalues?

2009-03-05 Thread rkevinburton
I am struiggling a bit with this function 'hatvalues'. I would like a little more undrestanding than taking the black-box and using the values. I looked at the Fortran source and it is quite opaque to me. So I am asking for some help in understanding the theory. First, I take the simplest case

FYI. I found the solution. My RProfile.site file could not be written to because of permissions. Whan I selected the Configure/Permanent option in Tinn-R it was silently ignoring the fact that the file could not be written to. When I adjusted the permissions, all was well. Thank you. Kevin

You could look into ' try' and set it up to catch errors and do the appropriate thing in your error handler. I don't have the exact syntax at hand right now but looking at ?try or ?tryCatch I think will do what you want. Kevin Alexandra Almeida alexandra...@gmail.com wrote: Hi

Sorry I didn't give the proper initialization of j. But you are right j should also be an array of 5. So x[j + 5] would return 5 values. So if the array returned from 'ifelse' is the same dimention as test (h), then are all the values of h being tested? So since h as you say has no dimensions

I had a question about the basic power functions in R. For example from the R console I enter: -1 ^ 2 [1] -1 but also -1^3 [1] -1 -0.1^2 [1] -0.01 Normally pow(-1, 2) return either -Infinity or NaN. Has R taken over the math functions? If so I would think that -1^2 is 1 not -1 and -0.1^2
