Re: [R] nls and factor

2006-04-25 Thread Manuel Gutierrez
Thanks, it was actually p.249, at least in my MASS3.
but that solved my doubt.

I've have another doubt, can this factor interact with
one of the parameters in the model?

My problem is basically a Michaelis Menten term, where
this factor determines a different Km. The rest of the
parameters in the model are the same. But I don't know
how to write the nls formula, or if it is possible.

This is a toy example, B and A are the two factors,
conc is the concentration and t is the temperature:

## Generate independent variables
Bconc-runif(30,0.1,10)
Aconc-runif(30,0.1,10)
At-runif(30,1,30)
Bt-runif(30,1,30)


## These are the parameters I want to calculate from
## my real data 
BKm-1
AKm-0
EBoth--0.41

# These are my simulated dependent variables
yB-100*exp(EBoth*Bt)*Bconc/(BKm+Bconc)+rnorm(30,0,1)
yA-75*exp(EBoth*At)*Aconc/(AKm+Aconc)+rnorm(30,0,1)

#The separate models
BModel-nls(Response~lev*exp(Ev*t)*conc/(Km+conc),data=list(Response=yB,t=Bt,conc=Bconc),start=list(lev=90,Ev=-0.5,Km=0.8),trace=TRUE)

AModel-nls(Response~lev*exp(Ev*t)*conc/(Km+conc),data=list(Response=yA,t=At,conc=Aconc),start=list(lev=90,Ev=-0.5,Km=0.8),trace=TRUE)

## I want to obtain a combined model of the form:
## Y=Intercept[1:2]*exp(Eboth*t)*conc/(Km[1:2]+conc)
## where I have a common E but two intercepts and two
## Kms (one of them should in fact be zero)

yBoth-c(yB,yA)
concBoth-c(Bconc,Aconc)
tBoth-c(At,Bt)
AorB-as.factor(c(rep(0,length(yA)),rep(1,length(yB

## Amongst other things I've tried 
FullModel-nls(Response~lev[AorB]*exp(Ev*t)*conc/(Km[AorB]+conc),data=list(Response=yBoth,t=tBoth,conc=concBoth),start=list(lev=c(90,70),Ev=-0.5,Km=c(0.8,0)),trace=TRUE)

## but i get to a singular gradient

Any other pointers,
thanks

[R] dealing with multicollinearity

2005-04-11 Thread Manuel Gutierrez

I have a linear model y~x1+x2 of some data where the
coefficient for
x1 is higher than I would have expected from theory
(0.7 vs 0.88)
I wondered whether this would be an artifact due to x1
and x2 being correlated despite that the variance
inflation factor is not too high (1.065):
I used perturbation analysis to evaluate collinearity
library(perturb)
P-perturb(A,pvars=c(x1,x2),prange=c(1,1))
 summary(P)
Perturb variables:
x1   normal(0,1) 
x2   normal(0,1) 

Impact of perturbations on coefficients:
mean s.d. min  max 
(Intercept)  -26.0670.270  -27.235  -25.481
x1 0.7260.0250.6720.882
x2 0.0600.0110.0370.082

I get a mean for x1 of 0.726 which is closer to what
is expected.
I am not an statistical expert so I'd like to know if
my evaluation of the effects of collinearity is
correct and in that case any solutions to obtain a
reliable linear model.
Thanks,
Manuel

Thanks to all,
Yes, I meant a single test for both coefficients.
Peter's reply is what I wanted. I've tried with
linear.hypothesis but I must confess that with my
limited statistical experience and without the car
book at hand, the nomenclature for the function was a
bit difficult to understand for me. A toy example of
linear.hypothesis for my case would be great.

[R] Rare Cases and SOM

2005-02-04 Thread Manuel Gutierrez
I am trying to understand how the SOM algorithm works
using library(class) SOM function.
I have a 1000*10 matrix and I want to be able to
summarize the different types of 10-element vectors.
In my real world case it is likely that most of the
1000 values are of one kind the rest of other (this is
an oversimplification).
Say for example:

InputA-matrix(cos(1:10),nrow=900,ncol=10,byrow=TRUE)
InputB-matrix(sin(5:14),nrow=100,ncol=10,byrow=TRUE)
Input-rbind(InputA,InputB)

I though that a small grid of 3*3 would be enough to
extract the patterns in such simple matrix :
GridWidth-3
GridLength-3
gr - somgrid(xdim=GridWidth,ydim=GridLength,topo =
hexagonal)
test.som - SOM(Input, gr)
par(mfrow=c(GridLength,GridWidth))
for(i in 1:(GridWidth*GridLength))
plot(test.som$codes[i,],type=l)

Only when I use a larger grid (say for example 7*3 ) I
get some of the representatives for the sin pattern.
This must have something to do with the initialization
of the grid, as the sin is so rare it is unlikely that
I get it as a reference vector. Afterwards, because
the selection for the training is also random it is
also unlikely they are picked.
I've been trying to modify some of the other
parameters for the SOM also, but I would appreciatte
some input to keep me going until I receive the
reference books from my bookstore.

Are my suspictions right?
Should I be using the SOM for my study or should I
look somewhere else?
NOTE: I have no prior knowledge of whether the
datasets I want to analyse will have rare cases or not
or where they will be located.
Thanks,
Manuel

[R] substitute accents

2004-11-25 Thread Manuel Gutierrez
I have an openoffice spreadsheet with a column of
character strings.
Some of them contain accents.
I want to read it in R so I have saved it as a csv
file using Western Europe (ISO-8859-1) character set
(the default, I've tried other sets but it doesn't
help).
R reads it fine with 

CharMatrix-read.csv(test.csv,header=F,sep=,,as.is=TRUE);
Say I wan't to replace the 'o' with accent in the
first cell.
I've tried:
gsub('ó','o', CharMatrix[1,1])
But, It doesn't make any substitution

Trying to find a solution I input the character string
in R and do the substitution:
CharMatrix[1,1]-hóla
gsub('ó','o', CharMatrix[1,1])
And it works. I think the difference is that when I
now print the content of CharMatrix I get a \201
before the ó while I didn't get it with the openoffice
imported csv file.
I'm sure it is a problem with my understanding of how
accents can be specified. Can someone give me any
solutions / references?
Thanks,
