As an R absolute beginner and an expert (very old) statistician and latex user, I'm interested in using R to produce AUTOMAGICALLY tables in latex format. I mean I would like to have the means to build an R procedure generating **FROM INSIDE** a table or a graph to be inserted directly into latex. I've read http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/doc/summary.pdf where the author speaks

As an absolute beginner, still reading "Modern Applied Statistics with S" and exercising with its examples, I'm frequently stopped by what it looks to be R poor help system (or is it my gigantic ignorance?). I mean that using help many arguments of a command seems to be given for granted like for instance: ............................... ?lines lines(x, ...) ## Default S3

Having to collect hourly electricity loads and quarter-of-an-hour electricity production data for some years I think that the tidiest way of doing it is to resort to ts but I don't know how to define such a frequency starting from a set date. Leafing through r-help mail archives I've found this *ALMOST* satisfactory message: ==========================================================

I'm trying to use ESS & xemacs under debian linux testing and KDE. My problem is that I didn't find any document in the internet explaining a **step by step** session with R and xemacs. The (wrong) procedure I follow (to no avail!) is: 1) I start R in a terminal window; 2) I start xemacs and open a file with the extension .R (test.R); 3) I issue M-x R RET and I can see an Rd new

I'm reading Ripley-Venables "Modern Applied Statistics with S - Fourth edition" , at the same time trying the examples proposed in the book using R 1.8.1 under linux. Now I'm trying the following code from the book (example code of spatial statistics at page 76) with R : | data(topo) library("spatial") topo.loess<-loess(z ~ x * y, topo, | degree= 2,span=0.25) |

Reading "Modern Applied Statististics with S" and trying the corresponding examples both in the book and in ../lib/R/library/MASS/script, I'm now trying chapter 4 plotting bars with the following code on a linux box with R 1.8.1: ---------------------- library(MASS) library(lattice) options(echo=T, width=65, digits=5) lung.deaths <- aggregate(ts.union(mdeaths, fdeaths), 1)

As an R absolute beginner when I update my R 1.8.1, after installing the packages I see the various updated commands orderly running in a table on the screen where, among other things, "latex" and "example" are indicated. 1) Being an old user of latex what **exactly** the "latex" label on a command mean and how, in what context, can it be used? 2) How can I see the

As an absolute beginner I'm reading and practicing with the Verzani doc to learn R. Now, being an expert latex user who wants to integrate graphical capabilities if R and latex, using the "Simple" library and the simple.scatterplot examples I had a go at: 1) Including the resulting graph into a doc.snw then compiled through sweave & latex; 2) Produce the graph in pdf format

I don't know if there is some fault in compiling or a bug of the new R-1.7.0 version: cl.pam.2 <- pam(as.dist(1-cor(mel.data)),2) plot(cl.pam.2) perform a right partitioning and silhouette plot on the old R-1.6.2 instead "Error in clusplot.default(x$diss,...... ; x is not numeric" is the output on the new R-1.7.0. Same platform: RH8.0 i686. Some suggestions? A.S.

Dear all, Is there any generic algorithm code for optimization implemented in R? I searched without success. Thanks, -- Zhu Wang Statistical Science Department Southern Methodist University Phone: (214)768-2453 Fax: (214)768-4035 Email: zhuw at mail.smu.edu

History files saved using nFile Save History do not open when using File Load History. I notice that when they are saved they do not seem to have a file extension and there is no option to chose an extension. Is this a problem. Other than this it seems so simple that I can't see what the problem is. I've tried using loadhistory and savehistory with the same problems. The syntax guide

I have written a function to plot data which will be used for various different chemistries. A simplified version is: plot_data <- function(risk,levels,chem,sd2,measure){ plot(risk, levels,main=paste ("per", sd2, measure, "\n in usual", chem)) } The problem is with the title. This works fine if the variable "chem" is just text, but if it is an expression then

Hello, I am analysing several samples whose sizes are from 9 to 110. I would like to test their distribution with R, whether they are normal or not. I wonder which test for normality from R should I use . Thank you for help.

Hi everyone, I ve been using R for months and find it really practical and straight forward. However (the inevitable however), I am finding it very slow for one of my operations: it s basically an itertation over i and j in a pretty big table (4* 4608). It takes 30 minutes!!!! Thanks Ps:if it can help here is the source: median1<-matrix(nrow=4608,ncol=1)

Good morning ! Today I found a strange, for my poor knowledge of R, behaviour of 'which' on a matrix: HAL9000> str(cluster.matrix) num [1:227, 1:6300] 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 ... HAL9000> class(cluster.matrix) [1] "matrix" HAL9000> ase <- cluster.matrix[1:5,1:5] HAL9000> ase [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [1,] 2 2 2 0 -2 [2,] 2 2 2 0 -2 [3,]

Hi all, I have currently been using the book Modern Applied Statistics with S from Venables and Ripley. At chapter 6 on Linear Statistical models I wanted to produce the plot as shown by "Figure 6.1" using Whiteside's data. xyplot command seems not to work on my version of "R"(version 1.7.0) running on different environments (Win XP, Win 98 and Win 2000). I then used the

Hi A very simple question on number formats. After some calculations, some variables I have come out looking like this: -1.892972e+00 Now apart from the fact that the "e+00" is completely redundant, I would rather have the number represented without the e bit. I want to export data like this to a text file and would rather have: -1.892972 than -1.892972e+00 I have tried
