[R] Question about error message

2011-06-28 Thread David Kaplan
Greetings,

I'm getting this error message using Joe Shafer's NORM package.

Error in storage.mode(x) - double :
   (list) object cannot be coerced to type 'double'

I'm not sure what this means.


I get this message when running

  s - prelim.norm(filename)

prelim.norm is used to develop some summary statistics, etc. before 
implementing the EM algorithm for missing data.  Please note that this 
is a data fusion exercise and there is considerable amounts of missing 
data by design.

Thanks in advance,

David

[R] Simple ordering or sorting question

2011-05-18 Thread David Kaplan
Greetings,

I'm trying to simply reorder a data frame on the row numbers.  So, for 
example, instead of getting 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11, ... 100 ...,  I get 
instead
1, 10, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 11, ...   I've 
tried commands such as

df - df[order(rownames(df)),] and

and have substituted the order command with sort and sort.list to no 
avail.  Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

[R] Question about is.na for missing data

2009-10-29 Thread David Kaplan

Greetings,

I am trying to a simple mean imputation using the following command 
(yes, I know it is not an ideal way to impute missing data)


asd[is.na(asd)] - mean(asd,na.rm=TRUE)

This has worked quite well in the past.  Now, however, I am getting the 
following error messsage.


Error in `[-.data.frame`(`*tmp*`, is.na(asd), value = 
c(2433.64150943396,  :

 rhs is the wrong length for indexing by a logical matrix

An inspection of the data set reveals no value of the sort give above.  
Any thoughts?


Thanks in advance,

David

[R] Simple question, I think

2009-10-22 Thread David Kaplan

Greetings,

I am recoding a dummy variable (coded 1,0) so that 0 = 2.  I am using 
the line


sciach$dummyba[sciach$ba==0] - 2

I notice that it creates a new column dummyba, with 0 coded as 2 but 
with 1's now coded as NA.  Is there a simple way around this in the line 
I am using, or do I need to have an additional line


sciach$dummyba[sciach$ba==1] - 1

Thanks in advance.

[R] Filling in a uniform dist plot

2009-08-15 Thread David Kaplan

Hi all,

Apologies in advance if this is really too simple, but I have given a 
good shot at this.  I'm generating a standard uniform distibution


y - dunif(x)
plot(x,y,type=l)

This will draw a horizontal line at y = 1.  I want to fill the area from 
x=(0,1) with a color.  I've tried the polygon command to create a 
polygon of the same shape, but can't seem to set the parameters to fill 
the figure from x=(0,1).  I'm sure there is an easy way to do this, but 
any advice would be welcome.


Thanks in advance.

Something like

plot(x,y, ylim=range(0,y))
polygon(c(0,x,1), c(0,y,0), col=red, border=NA)

[R] plotting question

2009-03-14 Thread David Kaplan

Greetings all,

I have two questions.  I have a data set that is arranged in the example 
below.  I wish to obtain a plot of the performance of each ID over Year 
on v1.  It's not clear how I set this up? 

ID  Year   V1  
1   19801  
1   19812 
1   19826

1   19834
2   19805
2   19815
2   19825
2   19836

Also,I would like to transpose the data to have the variable across the 
columns such as


ID   v1980   v1981 v1982 v1983
1   1   2  6   4
2   5   5  5   6


Is there a straightforward way to do this in R?

Thanks in advance,

David

[R] overlay plot question

2009-02-04 Thread David Kaplan

Greetings all,

I have two logistic plots coming from two calls to plogis.  The code is

.x - seq(-7.6, 7.6, length=100)
 plot(.x, plogis(.x, location=0, scale=1), xlab=x, ylab=Density,
main=Logistic Distribution: location = 0, scale = 1, type=l)
 abline(h=0, col=gray)


.y - seq(-7.6, 7.6, length=100)
 plot(.x, plogis(.x, location=2, scale=4), xlab=x, ylab=Density,
 main=Logistic Distribution: location = 2, scale = 4, type=l)
abline(h=0, col=gray)

remove(.x)

remove(.y)


I would like to overlay these on one plot.  Notice here the y-axis is 
different.  But I would like to axis to be 0 to 1 as in the first plot.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

David

[R] help with predict in stats4

2008-12-11 Thread David Kaplan

Hi,

We're using stats4 for a logistic regression.  The code is

chdreg.logit2 - glm(chd ~ age + sex, family = binomial)
summary(chdreg.logit2)
oddsratios - coef(chdreg.logit2)
exp(oddsratios)

# Calculate model predicted values
pred - predict(chdreg.logit2,type=response)

The glm part runs fine, and up to now so has the predict function.  
However, now we're getting the following error


Error in function (classes, fdef, mtable)  :
 unable to find an inherited method for function predict, for 
signature glm


Any thoughts about why this seems to now be appearing. 


Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for a program that will take the predicted probabilities

which doesn't allow me to see the observation number when I scroll over

override it?

Re: [R] Identify command in R]

2008-11-20 Thread David Kaplan

Let me try to be more specific.

The x y coordinates are different because of NAs in the dataset.  In 
this analysis, a set of hat values (a measure of influence in 
regression) is given for each observation.  On the basis of the 
regression that was run to get these hat values, the sample size was 
1164 (one removed due to NA).  The length of the data set is 1165.  If I 
remove the NA from the data set, I can get identify to run.  What I 
would like to know is if there is a way to get identify to ignore the NAs?




Thanks in advance,

[R] Merging nested files

2008-11-02 Thread David Kaplan

Greetings all,

I have three files that I would like to merge.  The first is a student 
level file that contains the student ID, their school ID, and their 
country ID.


The second is the school file that contains the school ID and country ID.

The third is the country file with a country ID.

I would like to merge the three together using the common country ID.  
Of course, what this would mean is that school data be repeated for 
every student in their school, and country data repeated for every 
school and student in that country. 


Any direction would be helpful.

Thanks in advance,

David

I believe what you are after is to use the merge function.  'merge' 
takes two data.frames, so to merge 3 data.frames, you'll have to use 
it twice.  You may want the all = TRUE argument to merge also.


Example, with your data.frames, it might look like:

tmp - merge(student, school, all = TRUE)
df  - merge(tmp, country, all = TRUE)

One thing to watch out for is that the merge function will merge on 
the common names in each data.frame, in your case country ID.  
Sometimes I check before the merge what variables it will attempt to 
merge on by using


intersect(names(student), names(school))

and making sure it is what I expect, i.e. ususally only one common name.

Hope that helps.



Thanks in advance,

David

[R] Handling complex sampling designs in R

2008-10-19 Thread David Kaplan

Hi all,

I typically need to analyze data from large scale surveys obtained under 
complex sampling designs and where sampling weights are provided.  I 
suspect that weights can be handled for some, but not all, packages.  
Can someone point me to information about which packages can incorporate 
sampling weights?


Thanks in advance,

David

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a good reference for taking scalar and matrix 
derivatives in R, and also doing integration in R.  I've searched the 
list and have not come across anything thus far.  Thanks in advance,

The most feature-rich package to analyze data originating
from complex sampling designs is the survey package
by Thomas Lumley.

A feature list (as well as a wide assortment of package
documentation) can be found at

http://faculty.washington.edu/tlumley/survey/

The package itself can be installed from CRAN

install.packages(survey)

Kind regards,

[R] Getting variable names from as.matrix

2008-04-30 Thread David Kaplan

Hi all,

I'm running a multidimensional scaling model on data that are first 
transformed into a similarity matrix using the program daisy in the 
cluster package.  If I already provide the similarity matrix, the 
plotting routine will give me the variable names on the plot itself.  
But, it seems that when I use the daisy program to create the similarity 
matrix, I can't get the program to give me variable names on the plot.  
Here is the input



## Sammon's MDS

country.demog - read.csv(~/Desktop/country.demog.csv)

## daisy requires loading the cluster package.  It will calculate 
standardized Eculidean distances


country.demog.dist - daisy(country.demog,metric=euclidean,stand=TRUE)

## The following line calculates the ordinal MDS

country.mds - sammon(dist(country.demog.dist), k=2)

## The following lines create the MDS map using country names.  It also 
places horizontal and vertical lines for reference.


plot(country.mds$points,type=n)
text(country.mds$points, labels = as.character(country.demog$country))
abline(h=0)
abline(v=0)


Thanks for any advice,

David

[R] Error message got a real'

2008-04-06 Thread David Kaplan

   Hi all,
   I'm running the program sem on a Mac, but I'm getting a message that I think
   is quite general.  The error reads
   Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings,
   :
 scan() expected 'a real', got '10652)'
   The 10652 is the sample size coming from a .csv file where I have header =
   TRUE.
   Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Re: [R] Error message got a real'

2008-04-06 Thread David Kaplan

   Thanks, I'm not sure why it wasn't saved as a .csv.  I posted it to the R
   Mac list and the general R list because in the past when I've posted to the
   R Mac list I was told it wasn't a R question.  Because this problem didn't
   appear  with  the  windows  verson  of R, I wasn't sure which list was
   appropriate.  There was no intention to be inconsiderate.

 The test.csv file isn't a csv file (which is a text format, with comma

 you name it with extension .csv, but didn't save it in that format.
 By the way, posting the same question 6 minutes apart on two mailing lists

   My  question  concerns moving my R objects over.  On my pc, which file

[R] White's test again

2007-11-09 Thread David Kaplan
Hi all,

It seems that I can get White's (HC3) test using MASS.   The syntax I 
used for the particular problem is

anova(scireg3, white.adjust=hc3)

where scireg3 is an object from the lm function.  But, the anova summary 
table is all I get.  I don't get the new estimates or standard errors 
correcting for heteroskedasticity.  Is there a way to get that information?

Thanks in advance,

David

 Is the above an exact copy of your script?
 
 If yes, what happens when you remember to put an '=' sign after
 'ylab'?  :-)
 
 Also, you appear to have a superfluous ',' at the end of the function
 call, prior to the final close paren.
 
 HTH,
