Not sure if there's a pre-defined function for it, but use your basic math skills: the normal distribution is dnorm(x) = 1/(sqrt(2*pi)) * exp(-x^2/2), so the inverse function (on the interval [0, infinity] is f = function(x) {sqrt( -2*log(sqrt(2*pi) * x)) } Since the dnorm function is not

Re: [R] dnorm and qnorm

2010-11-12 Thread Bert Gunter
There is no reversing the dnorm function -- dnorm is many to one in general (in the normal case, 2 to 1 except for the mean). How would you reverse dunif, for example?! However, with that understanding you could do a simple one dimensional search within the range you want via optimize(), as in

Hi: This is kind of kludgy, but if the matrix and parallel vector are both numeric, you could try something like A - matrix(rnorm(12), nrow = 3) v - 1:3 f - function(x) c(sum(x[-length(x)]^2), x[length(x)]) t(apply(cbind(A, v), 1, f)) v [1,] 8.196513 1 [2,] 1.414914 2 [3,] 2.436660

[R] R on an iPad

Dear R People: Is it possible to run R on an iPad, please? For some reason, I'm thinking that you can't have Fortran, C, etc., so you can't do it. But I thought I would check anyway. Thanks, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences University

[R] Factor analysis

Hi all, This could be very basic. I want to do exploratory factor analysis but I don't have the data, rather I have the correlation matrix. How do I do this with just the correlation matrix? I know for principal components, I can just find the eigen values. Best regards -- View this message
