Hi ! Sorry for my ignorance. I have two questions: 1) which is in R the function to make a covariogram of spatial data ? 2) does anyone know if there exist the possibility in R of performing kriging with an arbitrary covariance function ? If I have well understood the Krig procedure offers only three possibilities (expcov, gauscov and sphercov) that are the common models for stationary and

Dear friends, The following is an example to explain my question. I want to get a legend which will show the z-values according to different colors in image() function. x<-sort(runif(10)) #x-coordinates y<-sort(runif(10)) #y-coordinates z<-matrix(runif(100),nrow=10) #attributes values image(x,y,z,col=gray((6:3)/6)) # legend(x,y,legend=z,col=gray((6:3)/6)) #error. the colors should

Dear Ruser, I use abline() function to add the reference line successfully, but i can't display the values corresponding to the reference line on the x/y axis, anybody knows how to display it? *My simulated programs:* y<-rnorm(50) plot(x,y) abline(v=0.5) *#my question is how to display x=0.5 in the x axis?* Thanks in advance. -- With Kind Regards, oooO::::::::: (..):::::::::

Dear Rusers, I have some data in .csv file like "2004-8-1" and "2004-10-1", and i need to convert them into days from the origin (January 1, 1960). I have tried the function date.mmddyyyy(), but cannot get it. Anybody can show me how to handle the date data? Thanks very much! My dataset like: time 2004-8-1 2004-10-1 2001-9-1 2002-9-1 -- With Kind Regards,

Dear R users, We have some programs for the specific task in our research, but they were very commonly used. We want to make some functions for them, anybody can recommend any good tools to facilitate us to create R functions even without going deep into the theories of R functions ? Any suggestions or help are greatly appreciated. -- With Kind Regards, oooO::::::::: (..):::::::::

Dear R users, I hope to explain the concepts of skewness and kurtosis by generating series of distributions with same skewness and different kurtosis or with same kurtosis and different skewness, but it seems that i cannot find the right functions. I have searched the mailing list, but no answers were found. Is it possible to do that in R? Which function could be used? Thanks a lot. --

Dear friends, After fitting a generalized linear models ,i hope to get the variance of alpha,variance of beta and their covariance, that is , the variance-covariance matrix/information of alpha and beta , suppose *B* is the object of GLMs, i use attributes(B) to look for the options ,but can't find it, anybody knows how to get it? > attributes(B) $names [1] "coefficients"

Dear friends, In S-PLUS, we can use the following argument, but not in R. mode12 <- gam(score1 ~ lo(latitude) + lo(longitude)) I searched the help in S-PLUS, it says lo() Allows the user to specify a Loess fit in a GAM formula, but i didn't find the correponding function in R. Anybody knows how to do the similar task in R? Thanks very much. -- With Kind Regards, oooO:::::::::

Dear all, I have two variables, y and x. It seems that the relationship between them is Piecewise Linear Functions. The cutpoint is 20. That is, when x<20, there is a linear relationship between y and x; while x>=20, there is another different linear relationship between them. How can i specify their relationships in R correctly? # glm(y~I(x<20)+I(x>=20),family = binomial, data =

Dear friends, Anybody has ever met the problem to add a legend to a figure generated by image()? I have three variables,x,y and z. x and y are the coordinates, and z is the third values. we can use image(x, y, z,...) to generate a figure according to the z-values, but the problem is the figure legend. How can the legend be added to a figure generated by image()? Note that filled.contour() can

Dear friends, My dataset is like the following: x y mcpvalue 0.4603578 0.6247629 1.001 0.4603715 0.6247788 1.001 0.4603852 0.6247948 1.001 0.4110561 0.5664841 0.995 The x and y variables are unsorted. I use the function image(x,y,mcpvalue) to generate a plot, but the error is that "increasing 'x' and

Dear all, Some functions like 'ROC(Epi)' can be used to perform ROC analyssi, but it needs us to specify the fitting model in the argument. Now i have got the predicted p-values (0,1) for the 0/1 response variable using some other approach, see the following example dataset: id mark predict.pvalue 1 1 0.927 2 0 0.928 3 1 0.928 ..................

Dear Rusers, I want to know which function in R can perform the following tasks: 1.surface-data grid(x,y,z) #which could be done in splus, the name was from splus's options of graph 2. contourplot(x,y,z) #which could be done in splus By the way, where can i find some useful materials to learn to plot 3-dimensionel graphs?
