...variable lengths differ I've checked all the variale lengths, and have also made sure that factors are correctly defined as factors. Is there anything special I need to be doing for augPred to work correctly? I checked the help but didn't find much. cheers, dave David Afshartous, PhD University of Miami School of Business Rm KE-408 Coral Gables, FL 33124 [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

All, When I take a subset of a factor the reduced factor still maintains all the original levels of the factor when say forming the key in a plot. The data is correct, but the variable still "remembers" the original levels. See below for reproducible code. Does anyone know how to fix this? cheers, dave fact = as.factor(c(rep("A", 3),rep("B", 3), rep("C",

All, I'd like to plot the main relationship of a grouped data object for all levels of a factor in a single panel. The sample code below creates a separate panel for each level of the factor. I realize that this could be done in other ways, but I'd like to do it via plotting the grouped data object. thanks! dave z = rnorm(18, mean=0, sd=1) x = rep(1:6, 3) y =

...nually apart from the whole function, no error message results. I've checked the manuals and don't see anything RE print-name too long.

All, Simple question but I don't seem to be able to find the answer in the documentation: When using "plot" within a loop, is there any way to supply the argument to "main" dynamically, i.e., so that the title is Patient k below as the loop cycles through each value of k? plot(x,y, xlim=c(0,250), ylim=c(0,1000), xlab="gamma", ylab="r1",

All, Is there an efficient way to apply say "mean" or "median" to a dataframe according to say all combinations of two variables in the dataframe? Below is a simple example and the outline of a "manual" solution that will work but is not very efficient (could also generalize this to a function). Searched the archives and docs but didn't see anything close to

All, Very basic question I can't seem to find the answer to: plot(0:10, 0:10) The axes intersection is not aligned at (0,0) in the lower left. How does one force this? I searched for graphical parameters under par(graphics) but can't seem to find it. Thanks! David

...orrelation matrix for the cov/corr between Potassium at time i and time j. Is this possible in the current dataframe format?

All, Is there one liner way to obtain the max per observation for two vectors? I looked at apply and lapply but it seems that groundwork would have to be done before applying either of those. The code below does it but seems like overkill. Thanks! Dave x = rnorm(10) y = rnorm(10) ind = which(x < y) z = x z[ind] <- y[ind] ## z now contains the max's

All, In the function below I have 24 individuals and 6 calculations per individual. The 6 calculations are collected each time in a 1:24 loop when calculating "delta". I'd like to collect all 144 = 24*6 calculations in one vector ("delta.patient.comb"). The function works as is via indexing, but is there an easier way to collect the measurements via appendinng the 6

Hello all, X is a list of 20 lists, and each individual list has 65 elements. Y is a list of 65 elements. WANT: subtract Y from each of the 20 lists in X. Here's what I tried and the error messages: > X - rep(Y, 20) Error in X - rep(Y 20) : non-numeric argument to binary operator I tried several methods w/o success. Any suggestions kindly appreciated. Thanks, Dave ps - please copy

Hello all, I have matrices V.i of dimension n.i x n.i, where i = 1, ..., J, and the sum of n.i equals N. (and n.i ! = n.j) goal: create one large matrix V, where V has matrices V.i on diagonal. I create each matrix V.i in a for loop (1 to J), so each time I'd like to augment V with the most recently calculated V.i, such that I'll have V after the final iteration of the for loop.

All, I'm trying to obtain a one-liner to generate a certain sequence of alternatign numbers. Consider: > unlist(rep(list(c(1,2), c(3,4)), each = 6)) [1] 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 4 3 4 3 4 3 4 3 4 3 4 I'd like the result to be as above but continue until 38. Of course, I could hardcode this going up to c(37,38), but is there a more elegant way? Thanks! David

All, The code below is for a pseudo dataset of repeated measures on patients where there is also a treatment factor called "drug". Time is treated as categorical. What code is necessary to test for a treatment effect at a single time point, e.g., time = 3? Does the answer matter if the design is a crossover design, i.e, each patient received drug and placebo? Finally, what would

All, When starting R, how does one prevent the loading the previous workspace which was saved? I'd like to start a new project and save the new image in a different directory, but I'd like to partition this from the old project. Does there exist a better way than just deleting the files associated w/ the old project manually? I looked in the Intro to R manual and searched for
