Function as.Date leading to error implying that strptime requires 3 arguments
I'm using R V 2.2.1. When I try an example from the as.Date help page, I get an error. > x <- c("1jan1960", "2jan1960", "31mar1960", "30jul1960") > z <- as.Date(x, "%d%b%Y") Error in strptime(x, format) : 2 arguments passed to 'strptime' which requires 3 > Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Rob

Adding reference lines to xyplot
...ay to say I want my reference lines to change for different visits. I've a feeling that the subscripts arguement is somehow involved, but I've not found any examples or references to this. Any suggestions? Which page of the various manuals did I skim too quickly? Thanks, Rob -- Robert Balshaw, Ph.D. -- Senior Biostatistician, Syreon Corp. -- Phone: 604.676.5900x220; Fax: 604.676.5911

Summary Orthogonal Polynomials
As usual, the R newsgroup set me straight (thanks to Douglas Bates, Robert Balshaw and Albyn Jones). There is really no difference between using orthogonal polynomials of the form: Linear -3 -1 1 3 Quadratic 1 -1 -1 1 Cubic -1 3 -3 1 Versus > poly(c(1:4),3) 1 2 3 [1,] -0.6708204 0.5 -0.2236068 [2,] -0.2236068 -0.5 0.6708204...

summary of "explaining curious results of aov"

Any clues would be helpful. Brian Ripley, Robert Balshaw, Peter Dalgaard and Ted Harding all responded. The answer was basically the same from all: If there is heterogeneity of variances between the groups, and the variances of groups 5 and 6 are smaller than the others, then my result could occur because the average within-group variance over all grou...

subsetting like in SAS
Hi, Being in the process of translating some of my SAS programs to R, I encountered one difficulty. I have a solution, but it is not elegant (and not pleasant to implement). I have a large dataset with many variables needed to identify the origin of a sample, many to describe sample characteristics, others to describe site characteristics. I want only a (shorter) list of sites and their
