[R] 'stretching' a binomial variable

2009-03-27 Thread imicola
Hi, Im carrying out some Bayesian analysis using a binomial response variable (proportion: 0 to 1), but most of my observations have a value of 0 and many have very small values (i.e. 0.001). I'm having troubles getting my MCMC algorithm to converge, so I have decided to try normalising my

[R] Coordinate systems for geostatistics in R

2008-08-22 Thread imicola
Hi, I read somewhere that when carrying out geostatistical analysis in R you should not use latitude and longitude...can anyone expand on this a little for me, and what would be the best coordinate system to use? I have my data in a geographic coordinate system, WGS84, decimal degreesis

[R] GeoR model.control - defining covariates at prediction locations

2008-08-18 Thread imicola
Hi, Im using geoR and I'm trying to do some predictions, based on an external trend. I'm having some problems specifying my model.control, specifically how do I define my model, and also the source of the covariate data at the prediction locations? I am assuming that the covariate data at the

[R] Geodata object border

2008-08-12 Thread imicola
Sorry, this is probably quite an easy question, but I'm new to R and couldn't find the answer anywhere. I'm using geoR and geoRglm, but can't figure out how to get a border in my geodata object. Does this need to be defined when I'm importing my data, or afterwards, and how do I go about doing
