Re: [R] testing slope

2003-02-05 Thread vito muggeo
Hi,
in order to avoid the parameter of x:v3 to be estimated, you can
re-formulate the model.

You fitted
y~1+x+v2+v3+x:v2+x:v3
with 6 df

Now you would fit
y~0+v1+v2+v3+x:v1+x:v2)
with 5 df as x:v3 is not included in the model, i.e. the parameter x:v3 is
constrained to be zero.
best,
vito

A toy example is following:


x-1:100 #explanatory continuous variable
 f-factor(rep(1:3,length=100)) #categorical variable
f-model.matrix(~f-1)
xx-f*x
X-cbind(f,xx) #design matrix
colnames(X)[4:6]-c(xf1,xf2,xf3)
b-c(2,5,-3,-2,3,0) #parameters
y-X%*%b+rnorm(100,0,1) #response
m0-lm(y~0+X) #full model
m1-lm(y~0+X[,-6]) #reduced model
anova(m0,m1) #test for nonnull slope

Hi all,

I try to test a linear slope using offset.

It is clear that X slope is diferent of Zero.

It is too clear that X:Vn2's slope is diferent of X's slope and diferent of
Zero, because is greater than X'slope.
X:Vn2 4.1108 0.1932  21.279   2e-16 ***

But, the X:Vn3' slope is different of X'slope, but not necessarily different
of Zero.

How I make to introduce this parameter in a new model for test? An offset
only
with Vn3 slope???

I try:

m2 - glm(Y~V*offset(0*X))
m2 - glm(Y~X*V+V*offset(0*X))
m2 - glm(Y~V:X+V*offset(0*X))

but neither work :((

Thanks for all.

Re: [R] big ps-files

2003-02-05 Thread ripley
Why does it matter?  Surely the time taken to read the file or send it to
the printer is not important, and the actual files compress well for
storage (about a factor of 6 with bzip2 on the example I tried).

Which version of S-PLUS, which has had two completely separate postscript
drivers?  The ATT S version was written in the 1980s when this did matter
and is somewhat optimized for compact code.

I've just done a quick comparison on the MASS4 ch05 script using Linux.  
S-PLUS 6.1 produces 212Kb, R 1.6.2 produces 596Kb.  These compressed to 48
and 108Kb respectively.

[R] Package: cluster -- plot.partition() change title: main=

2003-02-05 Thread Pfaff, Bernhard
Dear R-list members,

I am using the cluster package and by the generation of plot.partition I ran
into the problem that an alternative title overlaps the default title.

 plot.partition(clara.14,which.plot=2,stand=TRUE, main=Silhouette plot of
14 clusters)

The manual states that all optional arguments for clusplot.default may also
be supplied to plot.partition(). Altering the title in clusplot() works.
Question: What am I doing wrong and what would be the correct way to insert
the graphic title Silhouette plot of 14 clusters alone?

I am using R 1.61 on Windows NT and the latest available cluster package
from CRAN.

Many thks in advance.

Rgds,
Bernhard

Dear R-help,

Can some one explain why barplot() uses changing colors in the 
bars by default?  I should think that most of the time when 
people draw barplots, they want the bars to be in the same 
color.  (At least that's what I'd expect.  The first time I 
used barplot() in R, I was shocked to see the
colors.)  As an example, one example in ?layout draws a 
scatterplot with histograms drawn on the margins.  The 
histograms were drawn by barplot(), and, IMHO, look rather 
hideous in the colors.

Andy,

This is an extrapolation beyond known data by me, but I would suspect
that one plausible reason is that since barplot can do grouped bars
and stacked bars, the original author decided to set a single default
multiple color vector for all cases. 

This would be one approach rather than checking to see what type of
barplot was being drawn and using a single color for the scenario you
are using or a multiple color vector for grouped/stacked bars.

It is obviously easy enough to add 'col = color' to the barplot()
arguments to use a single color of your choosing or an alternate
multiple color vector.

To change the default behavior now would likely break other code in
use.

My two cents

Marc Schwartz

The changing colours are useful when the data are a matrix (so that you
have bars either stacked or in groups).  You can easily get a single
color,
eg
data(VADeaths)
barplot(VADeaths, beside=TRUE, col=thistle)


The colours themselves are definitely not ideal. As Paul Murrell said at
the beginning of his talk on colour at last year' JSM The only word for
this is `embarassing'.  Better colour palettes are in the works, eg see
the RColorBrewer package.

 What I do - explained in the R man page - is

 R  example.R  example.out

 and I have found it useful (for some reason I can't recall) to
 use the --vanilla option in these cases:

 R --vanilla  example.R  example.out


It's useful because it won't work otherwise -- you need --save, --no-save
or --vanilla.


You can also send small amounts of R code into stdin directly.  For
example, a shell script Sweave.sh to run Sweave can be written as

#!/bin/sh
R --vanilla  SweaveSh.R /dev/null  $1

with SweaveSh.R being
library(tools)
Sweave(commandArgs()[3])

or more elegantly in a single file as
#!/bin/sh
echo library(tools);Sweave('$1') | /usr/local/bin/R --vanilla --silent


(the first is mine, the second is from Fritz Leisch).

 and diferent of 
 Zero, because is greater than X'slope.
 X:Vn2 4.1108 0.1932  21.279   2e-16 ***
 
 But, the X:Vn3' slope is different of X'slope, but not 
 necessarily different 
 of Zero.
 
 How I make to introduce this parameter in a new model for 
 test? An offset only 
 with Vn3 slope???
 
 I try:
 
 m2 - glm(Y~V*offset(0*X))
 m2 - glm(Y~X*V+V*offset(0*X))
 m2 - glm(Y~V:X+V*offset(0*X))
 
 but neither work :((
 
 Thanks for all.

[R] clustering and stratification

2003-02-05 Thread Jason Bond
Hello,

  Does R have any capabilities (or are there any add on packages) which 
can do estimation of standard statistical models (means, regression, 
logistic regression, etc) which take into account not only weights (e.g. 
post-stratification weights) but also the sample design, such as 
stratification and clustering information (to compute a robust taylor 
linearized variance estimator, for example)?  Thanks much for any input,

  Jason

[R] postscript: can't center plot

2003-02-05 Thread Deborah Swayne
One of our color postscript printers needs a slightly larger margin
than the default, so I'm trying to send slightly smaller graphics to
it, but all the extra margin I provide ends up at the right and
bottom of the page.

These are the relevant (I imagine) ps.options:

$paper  [1] special
$width  [1] 10
$height [1] 8
$pagecentre [1] TRUE

I tried this on two systems, in two versions of R, and the output
is identical.
  linux: R 1.6.1 (2002-11-01)
  mips-sgi-irix6.5: R 1.6.1 Beta (2002-10-28)

I'll attach a postscript file, which is very simple but I think
shows the asymmetry I'm talking about.

I'll file a bug report if I should, but I thought I'd give y'all a
chance to confirm the behavior or tell me I'm going about this all
wrong.

Re: [R] R as a `script'

2003-02-05 Thread Pierre Kleiber
While on the subject of scripts... Can someone suggest a strategy for
plotting something in an X11 window with R in a Unix script, such that
the plot window will persist after the script exits?  i.e.:

 #!/bin/sh
 R --slave --vanilla  EOF

 X11()

 plot something

 do something to preserve the image

 q()

 EOF

[R] commandArgs() prints warnings to STDOUT

2003-02-05 Thread Vadim Ogranovich
Dear R-Users,

I was glad to hear that there is an ongoing work to make R more easily
runnable as a batch. I'd like to raise two issues in this regards:

1. commandArgs() prints warnings to STDOUT rather than to STDERR, see
example below

$ cat foo.R
argv - commandArgs()

$ R --no-save --no-restore --silent A  foo.R 2 /dev/null
ARGUMENT 'A' __ignored__
 argv - commandArgs()
 


2. It should be possible to turn off echoing of R commands, the '' lines
above. Please let me know if it is already there.

Thanks, Vadim

For ols, logistic, accelerated failure time, and Cox models you can do cluster 
adjustments using either the robcov (Huber-White-Efron methods) or bootcov (cluster 
bootstrap) functions in the Design library.  See 
http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/Design.html

Doing this as the same time as using weights may not be supported by the functions.

The comparison should be with MacOS ca 1995, which I think runs neither

Re: [R] R as a `script'

2003-02-05 Thread Don MacQueen
In R 1.6.2 you can do this if you start the script with

   #! /path/to/r_home/lib/R/bin/R.bin

provided that you first define the environment variables R_HOME and 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH as they are defined in the R shell script (/usr/bin/R 
in your case).

I've only tested this running on Sun Solaris. I can't claim to have 
done extensive testing for pitfalls (i.e., pitfalls that aren't 
obvious to me!).

[R] commandArgs() prints warnings to STDOUT - correction

I realized that it is not commandArgs() rather R itslef that prints the

$ R --no-save --no-restore --silent A  /dev/null 2 /dev/null
ARGUMENT 'A' __ignored__

The new `survey' package does this for means, tables, glm and cox models.
It would be pretty easy to add support for the parametric survival models
if there were any demand.

It incorporates weights, stratification, clustering, and the finite
population correction to variance if desired.

[R] .Rprofile, .Rfirst, and .Rdata

2003-02-05 Thread David Richmond
Hi all,
	After a short hiatus away from R I have found that it's changed a bit. 
I used to keep a definition of .First in .Rprofile that did a couple of 
things on startup (load a couple of libraries). Now, I've discovered 
that when I change the definition of .First in .Rprofile it doesn't 
change anything when I start up, because .First is held over in .Rdata 
from the last session. The manual states that now .Rdata is loaded 
last, as intended. My question is, how do I change what's in .First (or 
any other variable, for that matter), if .Rdata will always override my 
changes? (I'd prefer not to have to do it manually, and I'd prefer to 
have all the other data preserved, rather than just leaving out .Rdata)

[R] Call C routine problem

2003-02-05 Thread pingzhao
When I call C function from Splus, I often meet this problem:
Problem: Couldn't find a function definition for Stest 

My c function is saved as 'test.c' (the function is also named as 'test'
My splus function is saved as 'Stest', such as

Stest -
function(d,f)
{
.C(test,
as.integer(d),
as.single(f))
}


Assume my files (test.c and Stest) have been stored in the directory ''work''
I have done the following steps in this directory:
(1) Splus CHAPTER test.c
(2) Splus make
(3) Splus
(4) d-10
f-rep(0,d)
result-Stest(d,f)

then the error message is :
Problem: Couldn't find a function definition for Stest

What am I wrong???

Thank you for your help in advance!!!

In Matlab, there is such similare function to plot
