R help - Nov 2002 - AW: Improving R Editing: New JEdit Edit Mode for R

Hi Daniel,
> Do you have experience how JEdit compares to other
> R-capable editors like e.g. WinEdt? Does it offer something like
WinEdt's
> integration with the Windows R-gui?
I have never tried out WinEdit but after reading your message I took a quick
glance at their homepage. It would not be useful for JEdit to
implement the provided interaction with R-GUI since JEdit has to work on several
platforms. But creating a button or shortcut for
sending a complete file  / line / selection of code to R (the command line
version) via pipe and to get back the result into JEdit shouldn't
really be a problem. JEdit has a powerful macro language providing support for
such things.

Best regards, Tobias.

Dear Listers -

R1.61 on NT

We are trying to fit a polynomial usning nlme so that in ax^2+bx+c, c is 
fixed and a and b are random.

The data are
Frames = speed of flight (20-50)
Manlength = tail length (-20,0)
ID = individual (14 of them)

each individual has experienced each of 6 tail lengths in the range above 
and we are interested in the shape of the relationship between speed and 
manipulation.

using the following approach based on the Venables and Ripley (3rd ed) 
examples with the Sitka data set

nlme(Frames~a*Manlength^2+b*Manlength+c,
+ fixed=list(c~1),random=a+b~1|ID,
+ start=list(fixed=c(0.3,6,50)))

Error in nlme.formula(Frames ~ a * Manlength^2 + b * Manlength + c, fixed = 
list(c ~  :
         starting values for the fixed component are not the correct length

-realizing that something is wrong with how we have framed the start 
values... can anyone advise?

cheers
andrew
