Re: [R] Maximum likelihood estimation of Regression parameters

2006-06-12 Thread Bart Joosen
I'm working with lm for some time, so I know the function.
The problem was that I purchased the book to learn more about linear models
and couldn't find the equivalent for the maximum likelihood in R, I used lm,
mle, and a few others, but it never allow you to set a variance parameter.
But after reading some further, I should be aware of posting to quick, sorry
for that.

I have read the Practical regression and anova in R by Faraway some month
ago, and I know that the Venable and Ripley book should be the one to buy,
but I think I can't find it for about 10$ as I did with the Applied linear
statistical models.

As I'm not in the position to spend a lot of money an buying books, I should
do my work with the contributed documents, and the wrong book.

Thanks for your help and time both of you

Bart

   Have you looked at lm?  I think that's what you want.

   Also, have you reviewed the Documentation list at
 www.r-project.org?  Neter, Kutner, nachtsheim  Wasserman has had a
 long and successful run having first appeared in 1974 and having gone
 through several editions since then.  However, it apparently has not
 kept up with the R revolution, and I would not recommend it today.

   Beyond this, if you don't have Venables and Ripley (2002) Modern
 Applied Statistics with S (Springer), I recommend you look at it first.
   It has numerous index entries on regression and is all around my
 favorite book on R generally.

   Also, have you checked the Documentation briefly outlined at
 'www.r-project.org', including the Contributed Documentation on CRAN,
 and Practical Regression and Anova using R by Faraway in particular?

   hope this helps.

  Or isn't this neccesairy?
  Also they calculate likelihood values for the different values, used

  possible to do this with R?
