Dear all, In my R plot, I would like to add the title as "Estimator vs. Eta", where I want to use the greek letter eta. I was trying to use expression(plain("Estimator vs.") *eta* ). It does not seem to work. Can anyone familiar with this give some help? Thank you very much. Hannah [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

You wouldn't be able to say a <- plain("Estimator vs.") * eta * either (not even if plain was an actual numeric function and eta a numeric variable). -- Peter Dalgaard, Professor, Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Email: pd.mes at cbs.dk Priv: PDalgd at gmail.com
Hi, Try this: plot(0,0) ?title(expression(paste(plain("Estimator vs. "),eta,sep=" "))) A.K. ----- Original Message ----- From: li li <hannah.hlx at gmail.com> To: r-help <r-help at r-project.org> Cc: Sent: Friday, September 21, 2012 11:04 AM Subject: [R] Math expression in R plot Dear all, ?
