How do I coerce numeric factor columns of data frame to vector?
I have just noticed that quite a few columns of a data frame that I am working on are numeric factors. For summary() purposes I want them to be vectors. I tried, for example > indx <- c(1:18,21:37,40,41) > i <- 0 > i <- i+1 > summary(as.vector(sflows1[indx[i]])) Length Class Mode min.pkt.sz 3000 factor numeric but this does not give the five-number

How do you stop R from putting up a dialog box when you quit Rgui?

Interlacing two vectors
I want to interlace two vectors. This I can do: > x <- 1:4 > z <- x+0.5 > as.vector(t(cbind(x,z))) [1] 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 but this seems rather inelegant. Any suggestions?

R-project [.com?] [.net?]
I got a shock a few days ago when I accidentally visited www.r-project.com . I thought that the r-project site had been hacked until I realised my mistake. There is also a site www.r-project.net. Both of these sites appear to be Japanese. Does anyone know anything about them? I suppose that it is not unusual for names close to those of popular sites to be used. It is good that they use a

likelihood and score interval estimates for glms
G'day list! I'm thinking about programming likelihood and score intervals for generalized linear models in R based on the paper "On the computation of likelihood ratio and score test based confidence intervals in generalized linear models" by Juha Alho (1992) (Statistics in Medicine, 11, 923-930). Being lazy, I thought that I would ask if anyone else on the list has

Rgui front-end has encountered a problem and needs to close
Well I don't know if anyone can help with this but it will be interesting to know if others have had the same problem. I can't start R at home on my laptop [ I'm using 1.8.1 under Windows XP]. When I click on the shortcut I get the usual Windows box for when an application needs to close. A couple of clicks down it displays the following: Error signature AppName: rgui.exe

Array multiplication
I wanted a sort of matrix product of an array and a matrix. As there does not seem to be any array multiplication apart from outer() I proceeded as follows: lambda <- array(0, c(n,m,d)) # stuff omitted # zed is an n by m matrix # # \lamb.star_{ik} lamb.star <- matrix(0, nrow=n, ncol=d) for (i in 1:n) { for (k in 1:d) { for (j in 1:m) { lamb.star[i,k] = lamb.star[i,k] +

Plotting lm() attributes
Suppose you fit a linear model > model.1 ~ lm(v1 ~ ..., data=myframe) and v2 is some other column of myframe typically not in the model. You will often want to try > plot(v2, model.1$residuals) but this will fail if there are NAs in the response v1 as model.1$residuals has length equal to the number of nonmissing values in v1. I suppose > plot(v2[!is.na(v1)],

Macros versus functions
R is a function-oriented language and functions have the advantage that they control unintended side effects of computations on the workspace. Still, there are times when I am using R when I want to make a large number of changes to the worksheet repeatedly and where the easiest way seems to be to keep pasting in the same chunk of code, or to put it on a file and use

add1 in glm
I'm having a bit of difficulty using the stepwise model-building tools in a glm context. Here, for example is one problem I have had using add1, where the abbreviation "." does not work as I expected it to do.

Clearly R does not like nested source()s, which is fair enough when you think about it. Still it's something that you might want
