A short post to get back – for my nonlife insurance course – on the interpretation of the output of a regression when there is a categorical covariate. Consider the following dataset > db = read.table("http://freakonometrics.free.fr/db.txt",header=TRUE,sep=";") > tail(db) Y X1 X2 X3 995 1 4.801836 20.82947 A 996 1 9.867854 24.39920 C 997 1 5.390730 21.25119 D 998 1...

## R GIS: Polygon Intersection with gIntersection{rgeos}

September 16, 2013
By

A short tutorial on doing intersections in R GIS. gIntersection{rgeos} will pick the polygons of the first submitted polygon contained within the second poylgon - this is done without cutting the polygon's edges which cross the clip source polygon. For the function that I use to download the example data, url_shp_to_spdf() please see HERE. library(rgeos)library(dismo)URLs...

## R for Ecologists: RLQ analysis (semi) explained

September 3, 2013
By

I’ve been reading about RLQ analysis, also known as the fourth corner method, for analyzing relationships between environmental characteristics and species traits. I was interested because I thought I might be using RLQ analysis to answer a specific set of … Continue reading →

## Estimation, prediction, and evaluation of logistic regression models

August 26, 2013
By

I provide an introduction to using logistic regression for prediction (binary classification) using the Titanic data competition from www.Kaggle.com as an example. I use models to predict in missing data, estimate a logistic regression model on a trai...

## Residuals from a logistic regression

August 23, 2013
By

I always claim that graphs are important in econometrics and statistics ! Of course, it is usually not that simple. Let me come back to a recent experience. A got an email from Sami yesterday, sending me a graph of residuals, and asking me what could be done with a graph of residuals, obtained from a logistic regression ?...

## Analyse discriminante linéaire ou Regression logistique

July 10, 2013
By

Supposons que l'on dispose d'iris de Paris (en population >100khabts) et qu'on veuille pouvoir les classer selon leurs caractéristiques sociodémos : Population taux de chômage Etudiants CSP etc... Une fois, les iris classés, on se demande si l'on peut transporter cette typologie à une autre grande ville (Lyon) par exemple : Il faudrait alors pouvoir utiliser un modèle d'affectation des iris selon leurs caractéristiques respectives...

## Getting raster histogram in QGIS using SEXTANTE and R

July 6, 2013
By

The issue with the broken histogram creation tool in QGIS annoyed me far too long. Sometimes you just need a quick glance on the histogram of a raster just to make a decision on how to process it or just to assess distribution of classes. But as you kn...

## Robust logistic regression

June 7, 2013
By

Corey Yanofsky writes: In your work, you’ve robustificated logistic regression by having the logit function saturate at, e.g., 0.01 and 0.99, instead of 0 and 1. Do you have any thoughts on a sensible setting for the saturation values? My intuition suggests that it has something to do with proportion of outliers expected in the The post Robust...
