R help - Mar 2008 - Negative/ positive rolling correlation

Hi everybody, I really appeciate the help you have given me. I am getting
around R comfortably now and am able to import research project data, do
mathematical analysis of the data and produce graphs. My PhD project is
going really well in its early days, already collecting data and proposal
completed soon!

There is one question I have though. I can see that worksheets and history
can be saved, however I am beat as to exactly what they save? Do they save
the command lines and associated data sheets and graphs?

Oh, I'm using Rcmdr. In my case it is an excellent software that cuts hours
off my progamming work freeing up time for other parts of the project and
breaks, lol!

The other, I want to do a correlation to highlight matching patterns between
two columns of radon levels (96 lines each) divided by the hour they were
recorded in the two machines. A scattergraph is similar but I want to
produce visualtisations for negative/ positive correlation against time. Can
anyone suggest anything? Thanks.

Cheers if you can help.

There is no "datasheet" but the R objects defined and saved in the
last
session will automatically be loaded into the workspace from the .Rdata 
file when a new session begins. It is also possible to save named .Rdata 
files and reload them under user control. If you look at an .Rdata file 
with a text editor, it is pretty much meaningless. On the other hand, if 
you look at .Rhistory, you will see a text file that is simply a 
sequential listing of the commands of earlier saved
sessions.

You need to investigate time series analyses methods. I am assuming that 
the radon levels are ordered and associated with times, rather than 
mathematically divided by them. There are extensive capabilities for 
analyzing and displaying such information in R.

See for instance:
