Re: [Rd] MacOS X - R crashes & import problem (PR#9005)

2009-01-06 Thread herwig

Hi there,

I have got more or less the same problem. I actually can not do anything in
the R editor - as soon as I try to change something it crashes.
Has anyone been able to solve this problem?
I can send the full crash report if someone is interested.

[Rd] Apparant bug in binomial model in GLM (PR#13434)

2009-01-06 Thread soren . faurby
Full_Name: Søren Faurby
Version: 2.4.1 and 2.7.2
OS: 
Submission from: (NULL) (192.38.46.92)


There appear to be a bug in the estimation of significance in the binomial model
in GLM. This bug apparently appears when the correlation between two variables
is to strong.

Such as this dummy example
c(0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1)->a
a->b
m1<-glm(a~b, binomial)
summary(m1)

It is sufficient that all 1's correspond to 1's such as this example

c(0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1)->a
c(0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1)->c
m1<-glm(a~c, binomial)
summary(m1)

I hope that this message is understandable. 

Kind regards, Søren

No, since as you can see it is filed under "not-reproducible".



I can send the full crash report if someone is interested.



Please do, send it to me and include your sessionInfo().

when working in the editor R crashes regularly. no other program ever
crashes.
one quite reliable way to crash it is by marking some code and then
pressing the
"find" command. I have had this problem with other R versions  
before. I

have the
feeling the editor is the problem. Another problem with the editor  
is that

I
always need to hit the carriage return twice after inserting the  
cursor at

a
certain point, after the first time, nothing happens. Not a big  
problem

but
probably not as it should be, and maybe a hint for a deeper problem.

Another bug: if the imported data frame contains a µ (greek mu, as in
microliter), R can't read the file.

[Rd] Strange error message

  The "setup" file simply attaches the directory containing my test version of
the survival code, and mktest1.s is
   test1 <- data.frame(time=  c(4, 3,1,1,2,2,3),
status=c(1,NA,1,0,1,1,0),
x= c(0, 2,1,1,1,0,0))

the simple test data set from the appendix of my book, for which I know ALL the
answers.

  There has been a change to the C code.  Is this possibly due to a messed up
calling chain?  I've converted from "Chambers" style callback to Rinternals
style (much cleaner and less mysterious), and the result works well in Splus.
I thought I'd made it through the hard part

  Hints appreciated, after which I can give more details.

Re: [Rd] Apparant bug in binomial model in GLM (PR#13434)

2009-01-06 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
This is a (too-little) known phenomenon: the problem is the low power of 
the Wald test in certain circumstances, and not the R implementation.


You can look it up in MASS (the book)  pp.197-9.

Can I ask how you 'knew for certain' what this should do? From the FAQ:

  But be sure you know for certain what it ought to have done. If you
  aren't familiar with the command, or don't know for certain how the
  command is supposed to work, then it might actually be working right.
  For example, people sometimes think there is a bug in R's mathematics
  because they don't understand how finite-precision arithmetic works.
  Rather than jumping to conclusions, show the problem to someone who
  knows for certain.

Who was your authority here?

That's not a bug, just the way things work. When the algorithm diverges,
 as seen by the huge Std.Error, Wald tests (z) are unreliable. (Notice
that the log OR in an a vs. c table is infinite whichever way you turn
it.) The likelihood ratio test (as in drop1(m1, test="Chisq")) is
somewhat less unreliable, but in these small examples, still quite some
distance from the table based approaches of fisher.test(a,c) and
chisq.test(a,c).

This indicates that your PROTECTs and UNPROTECTs are out of balance (by 
one, looking at the numbers) in the .Call (which I assume is to your own 
code?).

Brian,
  Thank you.  This explains why it works in Splus: PROTECT is a null macro 
there, so I wouldn't have caught the miscount.
