[R] package for stochastic frontier models?

2008-05-29 Thread aaront

I need to estimate maximum tree crown radius and am looking for a package to
prepare stochastic frontier models in R. I have not found any package
references on Nabble R help, google, or R help. Any tips on a package for
this?

With regards,

[R] rowMean, specify subset of columns within Dataframe?

2007-11-25 Thread aaront

I would like to calculate the mean of tree leader increment growth over 5
years (I1 through I5) where each tree is a row and each row has 5 columns.
So far I have achieved this using rowMeans when all columns are numeric type
and used in the calculation:

Data1 <- data.frame(cbind(I1 = 3, I2 = c(0,3:1, 2:5,NA), I3
=c(1:4,NA,5:2),I4=2,I5=3))
Data1
Data1$mean_5 <- rowMeans(Data1, na.rm =T)
Data1

My real dataset has many columns including several Factor type. Is it
possible to specify a range of columns within a data frame  using rowMeans
dims= (say where there is a one 
Factor  column called Species leading I1 to I5, and one Factor column called
Moisture following, so 7 columns total) , or do I either need to extract
those columns to a new data frame, calculate means, and reattach to the
original data frame, or use a different function such as apply?

Unfortunately I am fairly new to R and have a difficult time with some
terminology and concepts in R Help.

Thank you all. 

So that I look up the relevant Help topic more fully, the part that extracts
the columns of interest: 
[, c(1, 3:4)]

is this an instance of ?Subscript which Charles directs me to?   

Cheers, Aaron

Re: [R] windows vista

2007-11-28 Thread aaront

If the administrator account does not exist, this info provided for another
software program I use may be helpful:

"Some Windows Vista installations may have the Administrator account turned
off. If so, it is easy to turn the true Administrator account on. To do so,
open the Control Panel and open the User Accounts applet. If you do not see
any accounts named Administrator, this account is disabled. To enable the
Administrator account, do the following:

* Click Start, type cmd into the search pane, wait until the system
displays the cmd.exe item at the top.
* Right click the item and choose Run as administrator.
* In the opened command prompt, type net user administrator /active:yes
and click Enter, then log off.
* There will now be an Administrator account enabled.
* Log in as the Administrator to install and to activate Manifold."

I am currently using: ---John Maindonald and John Braun. Data Analysis and
Graphics Using R--- and find it very useful, note that there now is a 2007
edition.

Most of the texts mentioned in the previous link have reviews on Amazon.
