help.search(ternary)

I have got

ternaryplot in package vcd

and below is some code for ternary diagram which was in help

  The short answer is not to copy the device, but to replot on the new

 But these device-copy functions could have been quite handy --

 done interactively.

Yes, and that is part of the statement I pointed you to.

  When you copy a device, you replay the device list and hence the lines and 
  text are placed at the positions calculated using the font metrics of the 
  first device and not the second.  dev.copy2eps does not try to adjust the 
  pointsize of the postscript device, and provided the fonts match you 
  should just be able to adjust the pointsize in this case.
  
 
 OK, so I tried various things and the best I could come up with 
 is replacing [My X11() width and height defaults are 7]
   dev.copy2eps(file=test.eps, paper=letter)
 with
   dev.copy2eps(file=test.eps, paper=letter,
   width=8, height=8)

So you ignored the advice I gave about `pointsize'!

 Let's see if I understood what I did above:
 the physical size of the X11 and PS fonts is different. 
 Therefore, instead of changing the fontsize we re-scale the plot.
 (This is what is implied by the various printouts I have made.)
 If so, is there a way to reduce the font size, instead of  
 increasing the plot size?

Yes, and I have already given you a reference to it and told you in the 
email.

 (To avoid the plot extending beyond the physical page, for 
 example.)
 
 If the only way is to change the EPS device dimensions how could 
 I do it in a more robust way?
 Is, e.g., 'width=some.factor*par(din)[1]' a sensible way?
 Is there a better way?
 Could I pre-determine some.factor?
 
 
  You do need to be suspicious of on-screen viewers and indeed of 
  ghostscript, for they are often not pixel-perfect and ghostscript does 
  font substitution (it does not have Helvetica).  I would always test by 
  printing on a postscript printer.
  
 
 Screen and print rendering were the same.

Re: Re: [R] How can I test if time series residuals' are uncorrelated ?

2004-01-19 Thread Adrian Trapletti


Ok I made Jarque-Bera test to the residuals (merv.reg$residual)

library(tseries)
jarque.bera.test(merv.reg$residual)
X-squared = 1772.369, df = 2, p-value =  2.2e-16
And I reject the null hypotesis (H0: merv.reg$residual are normally
distributed)
So I know that:
1 - merv.reg$residual aren't independently distributed (Box-Ljung test)
2 - merv.reg$residual aren't indentically distributed (Breusch-Pagan 
test)
3 - merv.reg$residual aren't normally distributed (Jarque-Bera test)

My questions is:
It is possible merv.reg$residual be uncorrelated ?
cov[residual_t, residual_(t+k)] = 0 ?
Even when residuals are not independent distributed !


Yes. E.g., in an ARCH(1) process, cov[y_t, y_(t+k) ] = 0 (k \neq 0), 
but cov[(y_t)2, (y_(t+k))2 ] \neq 0,


The last equation should be autocov[y_t, y_(t+k)] \neq 0 or equivalently 
cov[(y_t)2, (y_(t+k))2 ] \neq (E[(y_t)2])2

best
Adrian

hence no independence (and this is typical for financial time series).

(and we know that they aren't normally distributed and they aren't
indentically distributed )
And how can I tested it ?



Thanks.


Hint, if a ts is normally distributed then independence and

uncorrelatedness

are equivalent, hence you can test for normally distributed errors 
(e.g.
Jarque-Bera-Test).

HTH,
Bernhard


[[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Typically, financial time series exhibit fat tails, i.e., are not 
normally distributed (and in an ARCH setup, financial time series are 
usually not even conditionally normally distributed. The fat tails are 
fatter than what we would expect from the clustering of volatility).

Re: [R] individual likelihoods

2004-01-19 Thread Jim Lindsey
 
 Dear all,
 is there a way to extract individual likelihoods from a glm/lrm object?
 By individual likelihoods, I mean the likelihoods whose product give the
 overall likelihood of the model.
 I guess the code in the base package, used to compute the Akaike Information
 Criterion may help me.
 However, I couldn't figure it out, probably because I'm rather new to
 likelihood theory and ML estimation ;-)

The aic function just sums the corresponding density (d) function
with log=T (except for the normal and inverse Gauss, where it is written out
explicitly). Note that mle are not available for the dispersion
parameter of the gamma and inverse Gauss, although this makes vary
little difference in almost all cases. Thus, you just need to feed the
fitted values (and, if appropriate, the dispersion estimate) into the
corresponding density function without summing.
  Cheers, Jim

 Thanks for any help/suggestion/tip,
 Bruno

[R] memory limitation with Fortran interface

2004-01-19 Thread Guillot Gilles
Hi,

I'm using R 7.0 under Linux as a programming interface to Fortran (g77 
v0.5.24).
Basically, what I want to do is to call a fortran subroutine of mine 
which performs MCMC computations.
Apparently I'm getting into memory management problems.

To track the problem I wrote  the following small Fortran subroutine 
(saved as test.f) : 

  subroutine test(n,p)
  implicit none
  integer n,p,i,j
  real x(n,p)
  do i=1,n
 do j=1,p
x(i,j) = 0
enddo
 enddo
  end

I compiled it by : 
g77 -c test.f

then I called it from R with :

n - 1
p - 1000
system(R CMD SHLIB ~/test.o)
dyn.load(~/test.so)
out.res- .Fortran(test,
   as.integer(n),
   as.integer(p)
   )

causing R breakdown with the following message : 

Segmentation fault

I don't understand why this subroutine causes segmentartion fault 
as its execution requires much less memory than what is existing  on my 
machine (RAM 512 Mo RAM + swap 512 Mo ).

More generally, it seems that memory limitations are stronger
when calling fortran code from R than when executing 
the same Fortran subroutine from a bash command line.

Two errors here:

1. You must allocate memory for x in the calling R function and have x as

Another recommendation is to write an  R  package for tasks like yours.
It is easier than you may think; see 'Writing R extensions'.

Re: [R] multcomp, simint, simtest and computation duration

2004-01-19 Thread Torsten Hothorn
 Dear R-listers,

 I am trying to compute simultaneous confidence intervals with simint from the 
 package multcomp. 230 measures (abundance) have been taken in 23 sites (factor) of a 
 data.frame (donnees: a file can be sent on request, saved with 
 save(donnees,file=donnees)). I would like to get all pairwise comparisons with :

 mc- simint(ren~ID,type=Tukey,data=donnees)


you try to solve a (23^2  - 23) = 506 dimensional integration problem via
some form of Monte-Carlo technique. If the sample sizes in are balanced,
you can use the `TukeyHSD' function.

Torsten

 I cannot get a result in a reasonable time (after 2 hours the computer was still 
 working and I interrupted the process).

 Can anybody tell me if there is some capacity limitation for simint (as well as for 
 simtest)? Multicomp of Splus handles the problem adequately in a short time, but 
 Splus is practically not accessible for student training...

 Kind regards,

 Patrick Giraudoux

x, y: coordinate vectors of points to join.

type: character indicating the type of plotting; actually any of

 col: color to use. This can be vector of length greater than one,
  but only the first value will be used.

 lty: line type to use.

How could I quickly know during an R-session what values should be col set to have

 of a command seems to be given for granted like for instance:
 ...
 ?lines
  lines(x, ...)
 
  ## Default S3 method:
  lines(x, y = NULL, type = l, col = par(col),
lty = par(lty), ...)
 
 Arguments:
 
 x, y: coordinate vectors of points to join.
 
 type: character indicating the type of plotting; actually any of
   the 'type's as in 'plot'.
 
  col: color to use. This can be vector of length greater than one,
   but only the first value will be used.
 
  lty: line type to use.
 
  ...: Further graphical parameters (see 'par') may also be supplied
   as arguments, particularly, line type, 'lty' and line width,
   'lwd'.
 
 
 How could I quickly know during an R-session what values should be col set to have 
 red, how could I set lty etc.?

RE: [R] Some more help needed...

2004-01-19 Thread Andy Bunn
The R help is sublime - which can be lost on the beginner (it was on
me). See Chapter 12 Graphical procedures of the introduction to R manual
(http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html). Then read the rest of the
manual before bed.

As for getting red and a solid line?
plot(1:100, log(1:100), type = l, col = red, lty = solid)

Good luck, Andy

How about the following: 

plot(1:11, col=1:11, cex=2, lwd=4)
plot(1:4, col=c(red,green,'blue', 'orange'), cex=2, lwd=4)
 hope this helps.  spencer graves

[R] Returning data in matrix form

2004-01-19 Thread Laura Quinn
I am trying to perform the following calculation for a very
large time series data set:

x-unit(length*data.frame.a*data.frame.b,cm)

data.frame.a and data.frame.b are of the same dimension, and I wish to
perform the calculation in one step so that x is returned as a
matrix/data.frame of equal dimension.

I have tried a couple of methods for this, (subsetting data.frame.a and
data.frame.b and performing the calculation on a column by column basis
for instance, and trying to loop a function over column data), but each
time I am returned with a list for x rather than a data frame.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I have looked through some R
literature but don't seem able to find the answer.

Thank you for any help.

Sounds like mapply() would be useful.  It works on columns of
data frames.  The default is simplify=TRUE so it will try to
return a vector or matrix.

Maybe, but what was ever wrong with

length*as.matrix(data.frame.a)*as.matrix(data.frame.b) 

or, possibly, as.data.frame thereof?

If you can explain exactly how you think power should be computed for
a Wilcoxon, AND it is right (as opposed to a wild ball-park off the
cuff estimate or sensitivity analysis), it'd be a nice journal

[R] qda problem

the following strange error appears when I use qda:

...looks proper to me and works without problems with svm...

Even stranger is the fact that my .R file suggests that the first command
qda1 - qda(as.data.frame(mfilters[cvtrain,]),as.factor(traingroups))
worked in December for the same data (apart from random sampling of 
cvtrain/traingroups, but I tried more than one version), and
even under the same version of R (1.8.0).

Can anybody tell me what goes wrong now?

I have reported a similar problem to Brian a few weeks ago. I think it 
has been fixed in recent versions of MASS (in the VR bundle) and works

Run update.packages() and try again.

...looks proper to me and works without problems with svm...

Even stranger is the fact that my .R file suggests that the first command
qda1 - qda(as.data.frame(mfilters[cvtrain,]),as.factor(traingroups))
worked in December for the same data (apart from random sampling of 
cvtrain/traingroups, but I tried more than one version), and
even under the same version of R (1.8.0).

Can anybody tell me what goes wrong now?

Best,
Christian

 If you can explain exactly how you think power should be computed for
 a Wilcoxon, AND it is right (as opposed to a wild ball-park off the
 cuff estimate or sensitivity analysis), it'd be a nice journal
 article.

Yes.

Of course the ARE (asymp.rel.efficiency) of Wilcoxon is .95 in the
Normal case, so everyones first guesstimate is to do the power
analysis for t and multiply the power by .95 - or divide desired power
by .95 and compute N. However, this is highly dependent on
distributional assumptions, and the fact that A is for asymptotic is
really important even for Normal distributions: for small samples the
RE is nowhere near the ARE, so you'd be wise to back things up with
some simulations.

We do have power.anova.test, though.

[R] graph algorithms in R

2004-01-19 Thread Rajarshi Guha
Hi,
  I was wondering if there are any packages available that can represent
mathematical graphs along with functions to manipulate them? Google
did'nt turn up anything ( I may be asking too much of R :-/ )

Thanks,

I was looking for the same thing the other day, and found that a graph package 
for R is being developed as part of the bioconductor project. However, I 
haven't tried it yet, so I don't know about the status (judging from the 
function list one shouldn't expect a comprehensive collection of graph 
algorithms, but at least the base structures and some random graph stuff seem 
to be implemented already). There is also a package for visualization, 
Rgraphviz.

[R] Buckley-James censored regression without intercept

2004-01-19 Thread Mai Zhou
Hi, dear R-help, I want to fit a Buckley-James censored regression
without intercept.
The function bj() inside the Design library have to have an intercept,
I try  Surv(y,d)~ 0 + x , or -1+x, or x-1,  none works.

Any suggestions? Is there another BJ() code out there that do not
have to have an intercept? Or may be it is easier to modify the bj()?
I need the estimator only, no need of var estimate or plot.

Thanks.
