as I received few private email on the claimed solution, I'm posting  
it to r-help.

when matrix B is invertible (which is always my case), one approach  
is to notice that
solving

det(A -\lambda * B)  = 0

is equivalent to solve

det(B^-1*A -\lambda *I)  = 0

which is a standard eigen value problem for the matrix B^-1 * A, hence

eigen(solve(B) %*% A)$values

is the answer.

I'm pretty sure that the problem can also be solved using some svd  
decomposition when B is not invertible.

hope it helps

[R] geodesic distance

2006-08-03 Thread stefano iacus
Hi,
has anyone ever seen implemented in R the following "geodesic"  
distance between positive definite pxp matrices A and B?

d(A,B) = \sum_{i=1}^p (\log \lambda_i)^2

were \lambda is the solution of det(A -\lambda B)  = 0

thanks

Brian's definition  seems appropriate to me nowadays

and the (extended) disclaimer should include both development issues  
specific to OS X (ports, etc) and user feedback on R.app GUI (we  
don't want R.app bugs go into the R-bugs list), but NOT general R- 
help topics which should go to R-help indeed.

I think we should keep the devel part in R-sig-Mac.

I'm including Simon Urbanek and waiting for some reaction before  
"taking actions" on R-sig-mac.

Re: [R] gregmisc

2003-08-10 Thread Stefano Iacus
In Carbon R 1.7.1 recommnded packages are already installed. VR itself 
is a bundle of package and not a package itself.
MASS, rpart, spatial and nnet are already present in Carbon R.

BTW, From 1.8.0 MacOS X users can take advange of the new (forthcoming) 
RAqua (http://www.economia.unimi.it/R/ for a preview)

Thank you, Marc;

I installed "car", "R commander" and "Bioconductor".

[Long listing of packages snipped]

Atsuya,

Thanks for the listing. If that is the complete list, then you are
missing the "VR" bundle of packages, which includes MASS and is
typically part of the 'recommended' package bundle, at least under
Windows and Linux/Unix.
I did a search of the Mac FAQ (**which appears to be for 1.6.0**), the 
R
Admin manual and the r-help archive, since I do not have "hands on"
experience with Macs. I may have to defer to other Mac OSX users for
detailed guidance here.

I also just checked Jan de Leeuw's web site at UCLA
(http://gifi.stat.ucla.edu/pub/index.php) based upon a review of the
README at http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/ReadMe.txt. The
indication is that the Mac port for V1.7.0 includes the base and
recommended packages, however V1.7.1 is the base package set only, if 
my
read is correct.

If that is indeed the case, the solution to your problem may be as
simple as using:
install.packages("VR")

being sure that you have appropriate R/W access permissions to the
library directory tree on your system when you use that R command.
If that solves the problem, then you should be ok and can load
'gregmisc' after VR is installed.
I am copying both Jan de Leeuw and Stefano Iacus on this communication
to be sure that I am offering appropriate advice here. Given the 
various
time zones involved here, hopefully someone can expediently confirm the
resolution to your problem.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Marc Schwartz
