Dear R-users, I use R to run spatial stuff and it takes up a lot of ram. Runs can take hours or days. I am thinking of getting a new desktop. Can R take advantage of the dual-core system? I have a dual-core computer at work. But it seems that right now R is using only one processor. The new computers feature quad core with 3GB of RAM. Can R take advantage of the 4 chips? Or am I better off

Hello! Can I use DBM databases (as they are used in Perl) for the import of large datasets in R? Thanks in advance for your help, Petra Steiner - --------------------------------------------------- Petra Steiner Arbeitsbereich Linguistik Universitaet Muenster Huefferstrasse 27 48149 Muenster

Hi, we are looking for a new workstation for big datasets/applications (easily up to 100'000 records and up to 300 Variables) using R. As an example: Variable Selection for a multivariate regression using stepAIC. What is the best configuration for a workstation to reach a high performance level for computing with R? Single core or multi core (is R together with nws package really able to

Greetings- I have a strange problem displaying a graph from R (1.3.1, linux) in a LaTeX document of documentclass seminar. I'm using graphicx to include the file: \usepackage{graphicx} ... \resizebox{\textwidth}{\textheight}{\includegraphics{crime.eps}} When I do this, the entire slide (including the page number) is rotated 180 degrees. Any ideas why this happens? The graph was created

Greetings- I'm venturing into a new (for me) area of using R: some presentation graphics based on R data. I'd like to compare two distributions of ordinal variables in relatively small (N=203 and 207) subsets of an R dataset. I can get a reasonably good picture of the distributions' differences with: x11() plot(table(hcd.df$auth.sum[hcd.df$datecat==1]),

I'd like to produce a series of simple line graphs for my methods class that show the three questions used on a repeated survey to make up a particular index. The data frame is: > efficacy.df year complicated havesay dontcare 1 1952 71 68 63 2 1954 NA NA NA 3 1956 64 71 71 4 1958 NA NA NA 5 1960

Greetings- I have some data on which I need to do something like a Hierarchical Linear Model (please bear with me, I'm only learning the technique so I don't know yet if my language is correct). Essentially I'm analyzing data at two levels simultaneously; data are about individuals an organizations of which they are members. Can someone point me toward an appropriate package in R?

Greetings. I've been experimenting with some algorithms for document classification (specifically, a Naive Bayes classifier and a kNN classifier) and I would now like to calculate some inter-rater reliability scores. I have the data in a PostgreSQL database, such that for each document, each measure (there are 9) has three variables: ap_(measure), nb_(measure), and knn_(measure). ap is me

Hi everyone, I'm interested in running R remotely from a Perl program--specifically I want to plot some data in Perl and return the graph as an object to Perl. Does anyone know if this is possible?

I use RODBC and RpgSQL quite a lot to access files stored in another machine under PostgreSQL. Since I am now using files which do not fit into R's memory, I would like to take random samples. What I would like is to issue a query such as SELECT * FROM file WHERE runif > 0.9 with "runif" being a uniformly distributed random number, generated on the fly; but I cannot

R-users -- I would like to make a single vector out of something like the following: y0 <- rep(0,100) y1 <- rep(1,20) and stack them one on top of the other to a vector y with length 120.

Is there a "canned" function in R for finding the standard error of the mean? I have tried > sem <- function(x) c(mean =mean(x), + SEM = stdev(x)/sqrt(length(x))) > sem(pnet.lai) Error in sem(pnet.lai) : couldn't find function "stdev" It looks like there is no stdev function in R Thanks, Kirk Kirk R.

Hello All, Just wondering if anyone may have a quick fix to our dilemma here. I work for a company called HGS (Human Genome Sciences), we are in the pharmaceutical business. Everything we do has to be tested and re-tested to ensure we are providing the most accurate form of data. On top of that everything is validated and regulated by FDA. What this means is every application on a validated

A while ago I asked about data management approaches in R. I was asked by several people to post a summary of the responses and alas I am just getting around to doing it. I received several comments, both on and off list. Below is a compilation of these responses. Hope this is as helpful to others as it was to me. Best, Brett 1.

I'd like to get summary statistics (really just a mean would be fine) for a vector in a data frame, but split based on the value of another vector. That is, I have a data frame (hcd.df) with variables datecat (which is always 1 or 2) and auth.sum (-8..+8). I've used xtabs to get chi-square comparisons, but what I need now is a simple mean of auth.sum where datecat is 1 and another where
