similar to: pairs, par("plt")

Hi, I posted over at R-help, and didn't get a response, but perhaps that was the wrong forum for this question. I'm having some confusion over the coordinate system after using pairs. I'm not interested in the content of the actual pairs plot, although the number of pairs seems to matter a bit. I'm purely interested in knowing where subsequent points will be plotted on the

Hello, I see that "mclust" is a pacakge that handles fitting mixtures of normals. Are there any other packages out that that can handle mixtures of gammas or other exponentials? Additionally, are there any packages out there that can fit bimodal distributions without mixtures? i.e., Cobb et al. 1983 using moment recursion relations? Thank you! mw Marion Wittmann, Ph.D.

Hi, Marion, I believe the package FlexMix provides a more generalized version of finite mixture modeling than is found in mclust/mclust02.

Hello, A post to R-Help by Oliver Soong reports what seems to be a bug specific to Windows (I'm on Windows 7). The original post is as follows: ---------------------------------------------------------------- from: Oliver Soong <osoong+r at gmail.com> to: r-help <r-help at r-project.org> date: Fri, 7 Dec 2012 22:07:49 -0800 subject: [R] file.link fails on NTFS Windows 7 64-bit,

Hi, I have a data matrix in which there are 1000 rows by 30 columns. The first column of each row is a numeric indicating the number of trips taken to a particular location with location attributes in the following column entries for that row. I want to repeat each row based on the number of trips taken (as indicated by the number in the first column)...i.e., if 1,1 indicates 4 trips, I want

Hello, I have a data frame with 1425 observations, 539 of which are zeros. I am trying to fit the following ZINB: f3<-formula(Nbr_Abs~ Zone * Year + Source) ZINB2<-zeroinfl(f3, dist="negbin", link= "logit", data=TheData, offset=log(trans.area), trace=TRUE) Zone is a factor with 4 levels, Year a factor with 27 levels, and Source a factor with 3 levels. Nbr_Abs is counts

Hello, I am using the package "flexmix", specifically the function "stepFlexmix" and was hoping for some assistance: Here is my input: fit <- stepFlexmix(trips~.,data=data.frame(traveldata),k=1:5,nrep=5,model=FLXMRglm( family="gaussian")) And I recieve the following error message: *Error in FLXfit(model = model, concomitant = concomitant, control =

Dear all, I have a question about "par" options. When I choose par(pty="s",mfrow=c(2,2)), how can I change the horizontal distance between the plots???? I have tried to use some options, like "mai", "mar", "oma", "omd", so on but I didn''t get the expected result. Some suggest will be appreciated. JM.

Hello, When I issue upsdrvctl status I see a NUT version 2.6.4. I've installed NUT via apt-get install nut-server on the my Raspberry Pi running Debian Jessie. I've been looking at different monitoring systems to use. I really like the look of Open Monitoring Distribution (OMD). OMD bundles Nagios together with many addons including check_mk. I've installed the check_mk agent on

Dear R community, I'm hoping someone out there has perhaps done this and can share their code and/or expertise with me. I need to pull recession periods out of a hydrograph - can anyone help me with this? I want to create a subset from streamflow data that consists of just the recession curves - the decreasing runoff after the passage of a peak flow. would really appreciate any help on

Hello, I have a function that changes par("plt") to plot a colorkey, and upon returning resets the original value. Unfortunately this changes the size of the plots when I change the layout. A simplified example: par(mfrow = c(1, 1)) plt <- par("plt") # .... # change par(plt) and create colorkey par(plt = plt) # resets the default

Dear all, As I resume my dissertation work next month, I'd like to actually start an R package this time around. I haven't done so because I update my code very often (still in development phase), so running the skeleton function, running checks, building, and re-installing the package onto the system seemed like a long and tedious process. I would like to hear your experience on how

Here is a demonstration of behaviour that is probably an optimization by someone far smarter than me that did not anticipate anyone wanting to do this, but for my purposes it looks more like a bug than a feature. I have tested this with R2.6.2 on Windows, no additional packages loaded (beyond the default), I have tested using the default graphics object, pdf, jpeg, and cairoDevice (ok I loaded a

Hi, I have a question about the graphics changes in 2.7.0. The example is this bit of code: par(mfcol = c(2, 3)) for(i in 1:6) plot(1:10, 1:10, xlab = "xlab", ylab = "ylab", main = "main") In 2.7.0, if I do this interactively (using windows()), I get bold titles. If I do this through a png device, I get regular weight titles. If I do this in 2.6.2, both

Dear R users, i am wondering if anyone has some hints for this problem (i have not found a clear answer after searching the R-mailing list archive, 'help.search' in R, and R-Wiki, and the like...): let's assume that i have 4 periods compositional time series data: t=1, A=0.1; B=0.5; C=0.4 t=2, A=0.2; B=0.4; C=0.4 t=3, A=0.5; B=0.3; C=0.2 t=4, A=0.4; B=0.3;

I'm working on a program that loads several large data files. I'm using ddply (plyr is really awesome) but I want to minimize the amount of times a large data file is read in. One solution is to keep track of which data file is open with a global variable and then change the currently open data file globally as needed. However, I'm unclear on how to alter a global variable

Can somebody confirm some unexpected behavior? This is under Windows, with R 2.11.0 and 2.11.1. 1. Create a trivial test file (I called it test.R) containing: cat("Success.\n") 2. Load R (Gui or Term) and run: shell("\"C:\\path\\to\\Rscript.exe\" \"C:\\path\\to\\test.R\"") In my case, I get various error messages. If the path\\to\\Rscript.exe has spaces

I'm not 100% sure this hasn't been covered already (I searched a bit, but I had a little trouble filtering down to a useful number of useful results). Anyway, when I install R on Windows, the installer asks to set the default help type. For some reason, I can set it as HTML in the installer, but the results open as if help_type = "text" by default. I presume this is related to

I'm working with a few functions (e.g. do.base.descriptions in the netstat package) that, in addition to returning an object with variables I want to extract, also print output. There is no way to turn this default printing behavior off in many of the functions. Is there a blanket way to suppress such printing, say, within a loop or a ddply statement? Thanks! -Jarrett

Hello, I'm using R to do survey analysis and plotting. I've gotten good help on this list to sort out specific plotting issues, but I think I could do a lot more on my own if I could find a good reference that explained some of the graphics terms and concepts used by R. I haven't found a general discussion of the graphics environment, with illustrations. Part of my problem is that the
