Dear people, Yesterday I looked at the recode command in the memisc package and ran the following example stated in the manual: x <- as.item(sample(1:6,20,replace=TRUE), labels=c( a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4, e=5, f=6)) print(x) f <- as.factor(x) f recode(f,

Dear people, I am including an example of a dataframe: mydataframe<-data.frame(X=c(1:4),total_bill=c(16.99,10.34,21.01,23.68),tip=c(1.01,1.66,3.50,3.31),sex=c("Male","Male","Male","Female")) When I use the sapply function getting the information about the factors works: sapply(mydataframe,function(x)is.factor(x)) X total_bill tip

Dear people, I created a plot which looks like this: Ee1<-matrix(c(88,86,74,62,41),ncol=5) colnames(Ee1)<-c("Lehrer","Lehrerinnen","Klassenkollegen","Klassenkolleginnen","Geschwister") par(las=1) par(mar=c(5,13,4,2)) barplot(Ee1,horiz=T,col="grey85",border="NA",xlim=c(0,100),axes=F) axis(2,pos=10, tick=T, tcl=F,

Hi all, I have two vectors (columns) called "efinal" and "efinal 2". I want to plot them on the same plot and "draw" a shaded area beween the two lines using function polygon I have tried all but I don ?t understand the polygon area, can you help me with examples? plot(efinal,type="l",ylim=range(min(efinal2),

Hey all, In order to test if a marker is a risk factor, I built two models (using cox proportional hazard model). One model included this marker, and the other is not. Then, I use R package risksetROC to test how much predictive value did the marker add to this model. I get two C statistics by analyzing the linear predictors of the two models into this package. The qustion is How to test if two

Dear List members, I really, like the feature that one can call R functions with mathematical expressions, e.g. curve(x^2, 0, 1) I wonder, how I can construct in a simple way a function like mycurve = function (expr) {...} such that that a call mycurve(x^2) has the same effect as the call curve(x^2, -100,100) Below is some code that works, but it seems much to complicated: it first

Hi, I have one doubt about one of the parameter of 'read.spss()' from 'foreign' package. Here is the syntax :- read.spss ( file, use.value.labels = TRUE, to.data.frame = FALSE, max.value.labels = Inf, trim.factor.names = FALSE, trim_values = TRUE, reencode = NA, use.missings = to.data.frame ) In above syntax when I pass *'to.data.frame=

Hello R-help list,   I am looking for way to toggle the case of the characters like a flip-flop; that is from ''Hello'' to "hELLO" or vice versa.   I know that there are a number of functions like casefold, tolower, toupper, etc. but these functions change the case in an uniform way.   Thanks in advance,   Antonio Rivero Ostoic         Antonio Rivero Ostoic PhD Student,

I have an R script that consists of a for loop that repeats a process for many different files. I want to process this parallely on machine with multiple cores, is there any package for it ? Thanks -- Sandeep R Patil [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Did anyone know whether the problem " it doesn't evaluate \Sexpr{} in Sweave" has been fixed? I checked r help page and realized it was asked a couple of years ago. But I didn't find solutions. Thanks for your help in advance! Hua [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all, I am trying to conduct an enhanced version of factor analysis with a SPSS interface that allows to use R. This approach has been suggested in the recent article: Basto, M. and J.M. Pereira An SPSS R-Menu for Ordinal Factor Analysis. Journal of Statistical Software 46, pp. 1-29. My variables are ordinal-type and the tool of Basto allows to run polychoric correlations in the SPSS

HI, R-Users: I got a questions. have been struggling so long time.... I have this data: > m1$Year_Month 201009 201010 201011 201101 201102 > min(m1$Year_Month) 201009 I want to calculate the following two answers, how do I program it? > difference in Month?????

I would like to split a string into words at its blanks but also to preserve all blanks. Example: c(" some words to split ") should become c(" ", "some", " ", " words", " ", "to" , " ", "split", " ") I was not able to achieve this via strsplit() . But I am not familiar with regular

Hi I am testing a package, and after I make changes, I have to close R and open R again to load the new version (same version number) of the package I am working on. So my question: is there a function which removes a package, i.e library(myPackage) > Package is loaded unlibrary(myPackage) > package is not loaded any more Thanks, Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug, PhD (Conservation Ecology,

Hello, Someone (Erik) recently posted about putting text on a plot. That thread didn't help. I'd like to put text directly below the 'sub' text (with no gap). The code below is the best I can do. Note the large undesirable gap between 'sub' and 'test'. I'd like the word 'test' to be just below the top box() boarder (directly below 'sub'). year

Good Night I made different test to check normality and multinormality in my dataset, but I don´t know which test is better. To verify univariate normality I checked: shapiro.test, cvm.test, ad.test, lillie.test, sf.test or jaque.bera.test and To verify multivariate normal distribution I use mardia, mvShapiro.Test, mvsf, mshapiro.test, mvnorm.e. I have a dataset with almost 1000 data and 9

Dear All: I would like to know if there is plausible way to say to R to remove all elements in the memory but the sequence. I have a code which makes a loop, and what I want is after the programme has performed all the operation over every "i"th element, to remove all the objects, expect the sequence parameter. I included the option "rm(list=ls(all=TRUE))", but obviously that

Hi all, I'd like to plot the Real and Imaginary parts of some f(z) as two different surfaces in wireframe (the row/column axes are the real and imag axes). I know I can do it by, roughly speaking, something like plotz <- expand.grid(x={range of Re(z)}, y={range of Im(z), groups=1:2) plotz$func<-c(Re(f(z),Im(f(z)) wireframe(func~x*y,data=plotz,groups=groups) But that seems like a

Dear list memebers, I am stuck with using regular expressions. Imagine I have a vector of character strings like: test <- c('filename_1_def.pdf', 'filename_2_abc.pdf') How could I use regexpressions to extract only the 'def'/'abc' parts of these strings? Some try from my side yielded no results: testresults <-
