What software exists for digitizing video to quantify the motion of specific features in the image? I might be willing to use something that's NOT in R, though I'd prefer something in R (or at least with an R intereface). Thanks, Spencer Graves

Hello, I need to do some basic statistics on raster images (tiff or png). I need only an advice where to start, which package is the most appropriate. My search attempts were without success, yet. Many thanks Tomas

I am in awe of the project you developed but wish to do something simpler. I have recently decided to give up on Microsoft Office and wish to use OpenOffice exclusively. In the past I have used the RODBC package to read data from excel files. Do you know how to read data directly from OpenOffice calc files into R? Farrel Buchinsky

Hi - I would like to have the same functionality like what R(D)COM server offers but from Java world. I have java code (on windows) and need to call some R code to run some computational job and get the result back into java code. I'm wondering if there's any direct package that offers this functionality? Thank you. - adschai

Hi, Maybe this is more a programming questions than a specific R-project question, but maybe there is someone who can point me in the right direction. I have a picture of cirkels which I took with a digital camera. Now I want to use the diameter of the cirkels on the picture for analysis in R. I can use pixmap to import the picture, but how do I find the outside cirkels and calculate the

hey can anybody help me? i have to simulate the richardson Arms race model on R.. for my simulation class...

Hello, I discussed the following problem on the great useR conference with several people and wonder if someone of you knows a more elegant (or more common ?) solution than the one below. The problem: ============ I have several sets of interrelated functions which should be compared. The functions themselves have different structure, application-specific names (for readability) and they should

Do anyone know anything about the use of R for agent-based social simulation? It should be possible, and would be convenient for the simple reason that there are several nice packages containing useful stuff for SNA (Social Network Analysis). Information about packages, web sites, experienced persons in the field, etc. would be very welcome. Tom

Hello all, I discovered that the pdf device uses fonts to represent "points" symbols (as in plot(...,type="p",...) ). Namely it uses ZapfDingbats with symbol U+25cf. This can lead to problems when the font is not available, or available in another version (such as points being replaced by other symbols, or worst: slightly displaced). Furthermore, it also causes

Hello, I have an unbalanced mixed model design with two fixed effects "site" (2 levels) and "timeOfDay" (4 levels) and two random effects "day" (3 consecutive days) and "trap" (6 unique traps, 3 per site). The dependent variable is the body length ("BL") of insect larvae from 7 to 29 individuals per trap (104 individuals in total). To account

Dear expeRts, there is obviously a general trend to use model comparisons, LRT and AIC instead of Wald-test-based significance, at least in the R community. I personally like this approach. And, when using LME's, it seems to be the preferred way (concluded from postings of Brian Ripley and Douglas Bates' article in R-News 5(2005)1), esp. because of problems with the d.f. approximation.

Hi, how it's possible to extract the year and the number of days from Julian date. i'm little confused about the last two functions and ?years .

I'm fairly new to R, and I'm trying to write out a population model that satisfies the following; the system consists of s species, i= 1, 2,...,s network of interactions between species is specified by a (s x s) real matrix, C[i,j] x[i] being the relative population of the "ith" species (0 =< x[i] =< 1, sum(x[i]=1) the evolution rule being considered is as follows;

We've added a column at http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_summary.html of test results using the Sun Studio compiler: it is intended that these will be updated weekly. The Sun Studio compiler is that used on Solaris: these runs were on the Linux version. All the other platforms are using gcc 4, so this provides an opportunity for checking for use of gcc-specific features and

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of a package that contains the ability for peak/valley detection. Here is an example of what I'm looking for, only problem is that it's written in Matlab. http://www.billauer.co.il/peakdet.html Thanks for any help in advance. -Joe

To whomever may be of help, I am a student in a graduate modeling class at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. I am trying to get a STELLA model converted into R. I am in the process of trying to 're-write' the script into R, but I seem to be missing pieces (i.e. parm values) that are keeping me from being able to replicate this model into R. Does anyone have an idea of a
