Hi Charles I am new in R and would like to learn/use it in the beginning for easy operations. I already used google for houres and did not find a solution for this in my eyes easy calculation process. I spent long time with reading forums, package handbooks, and tried and error but always failed. But I still believe that somebody could tell me something like: Load package XY and than use that command Z...
Sorry if I am naive or half-baked but I guess there shout be a very easy command to calculate the area under a function. E.g. If I use the package AUC: auc(fitP, min=20, max=100) there is an error report which I do not understand: /Error in auc(fitP1, min = 20, max = 100) : object 'ans' not found. / My task in short: I have 20 x and associated 20 y values and created a function by fitP <- lm( y~poly(x,3,raw=TRUE) ) the function looks like this: fitP /Call: lm(formula = y2 ~ poly(x2, 3, raw = TRUE)) Coefficients: (Intercept) poly(x2, 3, raw = TRUE)1 1.125e+01 -5.262e-01 poly(x2, 3, raw = TRUE)2 poly(x2, 3, raw = TRUE)3 9.156e-03 -4.771e-05 / The last step now is to integrate the function. If I put this data by hand in any of many AUC-calculators in the web it works. But I still not find the "easy" way within R. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Calculate-the-area-under-a-curve-tp4711418p4711434.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
