[R] reference category in binomal glm

2014-05-27 Thread Xebar Saram
Hi all

i know this is probably a silly question but im wondering what is the
'reference' category when you run a binomal glm. that is my outcome/DV is
0,1 and i run a regression and get coefficients. do the coefficients refer
to the probability to get 0 or 1?

thanks so much in advance

 ?binomial in R-devel says

  For the ‘binomial’ and ‘quasibinomial’ families the response can
  be specified in one of three ways:

1. As a factor: ‘success’ is interpreted as the factor not
   having the first level (and hence usually of having the
   second level).

2. As a numerical vector with values between ‘0’ and ‘1’,
   interpreted as the proportion of successful cases (with the
   total number of cases given by the ‘weights’).

3. As a two-column integer matrix.  The first column gives the
   number of successes and the second the number of failures.




 thanks so much in advance

Hi again and thank you all for the answers

i need to add that im a relatively R neewb so i apologize in advance

i started R with the --vanilla option and ran gc()

this is the output i get:

also this is the memory.profile()

  Hi All,

  recent days i keep getting errors and crashes regarding memory use, such

   I'm very sympathetic, but it will be almost impossible to debug
 this sort of a problem remotely, without a reproducible example.
 The only guess that I can make, if you *really* are running *exactly*
 the same code as you previously ran successfully, is that you might
 have some very large objects hidden away in a saved workspace in a
 .RData file that's being loaded automatically ...

   I would check whether gc(), memory.profile(), etc. give sensible results
 in a clean R session (R --vanilla).

[R] extracting random intercept

2011-01-21 Thread Xebar Saram
Hi all

I am using this model for a time series analysis :

lung_new - (glmmPQL(LUNG ~ 1, random = ~ 1 | GUID, family = poisson, data =
ts0004lag)

Im interested in extracting just the random intercept

can anyone point me in the right direction

thx

[R] error using predict

2010-07-25 Thread Xebar Saram
Hi

I am very new to R (so excuse me in advance if this is pretty trivial)

I am using the predict function to get prediction on a dataset from
another dataset using the follwoing command:


newpredT2003 = predict( object=out.model_T2003, newdata=aodmc_2003 , level = 0 )

yet i get this error:

Error in na.fail.default(list(AOD = c(0.092, 0.081, 0.086, 0.085, 0.09,  :
  missing values in object
Calls: predict ... model.frame.default - Anonymous - na.fail.default

i think its something simple but cant find any info when googling..can
anyone point me in the right direction on what needs to be done to fix
the errors?

thx

Ethan

[R] choosing a random sample by precentage

2010-07-22 Thread Xebar Saram
hi all

i have found the follwoing way to choose a random sample by sample size (200):

ten_per_T2000 - F_T2000_All[sample(nrow(F_T2000_All), 200), ]


 but i wondered if there is a way to choose a sample size by
precentage (10% etc..)

thx
