Hi list, I have data in a dataframe t1, with a column for different amounts spent, a column what it was spent on, and a column with dates, from which I create a new column with months. Example: amount <- rep(c(10,20,30),3) what <- rep(c("food","books","cycling"),3) when <- c(rep("2008-09-05",5),rep("2008-10-07",4)) t1 <-

Dear list, I've written a function that plots subjects. Something like: myplot <- function(subject) { plot(subject) } Subjects are vectors, e.g. ... s1 <- c(200,200,190,180) ... and plotting them works fine, e.g. ... myplot(s1) Now I want to have "s1" etc appear in the plot title, but I don't know how to refer to this generically (the object "name"? I tried

Dear R-users, Does anybody know a good way to create and use several graphical devices at the same time in interactive mode? Ideally, I'd like to open 2 to 3 devices and assign names to them. This way, I could make any addition/modification/update to a particular device using its name. I did not see anything like a name argument in ?X11. Is there an alternative? Thanks in advance for your

Hi, I have a qplot like the one in the minimal example below, except I also have faceting like this: qplot(jitter(Goodall),jitter(Better.adapt),colour=Second.adapt,facets=~Pol,data=d1) and with the real data I get quite a lot of overplotting, so I would like to add an alpha channel. In addition, I would like to be able to control which colors are used for each value of Second.adapt (which

Hi Folks, I'm curious for an explanation of the following -- it's a matter of trying to understand how R parses it. I've written sundry little "helper" variants of functions, in particular plot(), to save repetitively typing the same options over and over again. For example: plotb <- function(x,...){plot(x,pch="+",col="blue",...)} This does exactly

With a pie chart pie(c(11, 15, 16, 29, 31)) how can I generate labels for the chart, such as orange: 11 green: 15 blue: 16 red: 29 purple: 31 rather than the default labels that are drawn automatically 1 2 3 4 5 -- Mark Polishook, D.M.A. Technology Coordinator Morehead Hall, Rm 132 Center for Academic Advising and Adult Learning Montclair State University Montclair, NJ 07043 (973)-655-7114

Hi! Is it possible to start R by clicking the .RData file in linux as in Windows? I've tried with ubuntu hardy using the right button and selecting R, but does not work. Is there any way to set it up? (I know R can by started from the terminal, selecting the appropriate directory).

I've been trying to set my email setting to Digest Mode for a while, but it doesn't seem to "take". I log through to the "Unsubscribe or edit options" button on the Web interface to the R-help mailing list page. I scroll down to the "Set Digest Mode" box and change the radio button to "On".

Hi, I'm having problems with qplot and the order of numeric factor levels. Factors with numeric levels show up in the order in which they appear in the data, not in the order of the levels (as far as I understand factors!) Here is a minimal example: library(ggplot2) y <- c(-1,2,0,0,-2,-1) z <- factor(y,levels=c(-2,-1,0,1,2)) qplot(z) For me, the resulting plot is ordered: -1,2,0,-2

Dear All, a short and maybe simple question: I have to rank all values in a matrix from 0 to X, [1] [2] [3] [4] [1] 0.1 2 0 3 [2] 50 3 3 1 [3] 100 1 1 0 [4] 100 2 2 0 0->0 0.1->1 2->2 3->3 50->4 100->5 (X=5) is there any function for this? i have looked in several packages (vegan, labdsv etc.) because I am working with species by site tables,

Hi, I just installed R, I'm work in UBUNTU and I don't have idea about how to run a r-code written in emacs into the shell. Well I am in a shell, and obviously I can run simple commands over there, Must I compile the program? if yes, How must I do that? what is the extension? I really appreciate your help -- View this message in context:

Hi, Appologies for the simple nature of this question, I am unable to find the answer in manuals (EG and introduciton to R). I have written a function in a text editor and saved it with an .R extension. It is saved in my working directory. How can I run it, do I need to use source? If so, how do I supply the arguments to the function? Or does it need to be saved in a particular directory?

Dear R-people, I want to use an idea from LaTeX in the work flow with R. It is possible in LaTeX to have a main file from which other files are called (ie included). So for example if you have book, the main index file would call each chapter separately. Is there something comparable in R that follows the above 'include' idea from LaTeX? A main file that calls parts of an analysis or

I am setting up base plots -- one in viewport A and and one in B. This part works fine. But if I go back to A after having done B and add horizontal lines it seems to not use the correct coordinates. How do I tell it to resume using A's coordinates? I am already using par(fig = gridFIG()) but it seems that that's not enough to reestablish them. What happens is that when I go back to

Hi I have a small problem, I'm new in using R, so I hope you can help me... I'm running a logistic regression model and want to do a nice plot. The plot I have made is done a plot with the command jitter: plot(jitter(overto$age[overto$sex=="F"]),jitter(overto$neg.pos[overto$sex=="F"]),xlab="age",ylab="neg and pos") my responsvariable is positive

Hi, I've read up on readBin() and chapter 6 in the R Data Import/Export manual, but I still can't read a binary file. Here is how the creator of the file described the code that would be needed in Fortran: "Every record has a return in fortran. The length of each record is nx*ny*4. To read you would use the following: nlayx = nx*ny*4 do iz=1,nz,4 read(binary file) var(1:nlayx)

Hi, I need a help. I am new in R and I need to run a nested anova with fixed and random factors (Mixed Model). I have a design with three factors: Day, Area and Plot and the dependent variable is density. The factors Day and Area are fixed while Plot is random, factor Area is nested in factor Day, and factor Plot is nested in Area. I can do it using aov by: mod1<-aov(density~ day +
