See the code below. First, what are recursion limits in R. The function is stopping after 25 iterations for me. Is this general, or localized? Can recursion limits be changed? Second, which is generally more efficient, recursion or looping over a function? R 1.6.1 Windows 98 ----------------------------------------------------------- recurse<-function (n) { ifelse(n<50, {print(n);

Hello R-Helpers, plot(x, y, type="b", pch="1") plots x vs. y with both a line and the symbol "1" but how do I change the "spacing" of the symbol being plotted. In other words, I don't want to plot the "1" at every data point, but only at every kth point (things get too cluttered when there are many data points). Thanks in advance! --

List, I am trying to extract summary statistics from a data frame with several variables (and NAs) into a dataframe with the columns: Variablename (ie the colnames of original data), mean, stdev, max, min, Valid N, Missing Values. Extracting the statistics is straightforward using stack and aggregate. However, I haven''t succeeded in obtaining the number of Missing Values. I can extract

Dear expe-R-ts, I try some test data for a factorAnalysis (resp. pca) in the sense of Prof. Ripley's MASS ? 11.1, p. 330 ff., just to prepare myself for an analysis of my own empirical data using R (instead of SPSS). 1. the data. ## The test data is (from the book of Backhaus et al.: Multivariate ## Analysemethoden. Springer 2000 [9th ed.], p. 300 ff):

Hi everyone, I'm taking a course in statistics as part of my doctoral program in education at the U. of Minnesota, USA. I found R via Rpy, a python module that makes it possible to use R from python scripts. The instructor refers to SPSS a lot and that seems to be the standard stats tool around here. But being more of a Unix guy and not intimidated by programming, I'd like to see if I

Dear list, has anyone written a package/function in R for computing a point- biserial resp. biserial correlation? Thanks in advance Bernd

When updataing packages from CRAN, I got the following error message: updating HTML package descriptions Warning message: DLL attempted to change FPU control word from 8001f to 9001f Everything seems fine, the packages updated, just wondering what this was. R 1.6.2 on Windows 98. Details on the packages dowloaded are below. ________________________________________________ update.packages()

I have read in several places that one should attempt to avoid for loops whenever possible. In this spirit, I was playing with some code that I have written to improve its efficiency and elegance. The following iteratively drops a column from a data frame and applies a function to the reminaing columns. I replaced this for loop: for (y in 1:dim(x)[2]) my.function (x[,-y]) with this:

In the ouput below, what is the "S" statistic (S = 96) that is used for Spearman? I don't have easy access to the books cited on the help page. Other texts and web sources that I have found use t or z as a test for Spearman, perhaps inappropriately. Can anyone tell me how S is computed or refer to a web resource? I see from the code for that: q <- as.integer((n^3 - n) * (1

Running R 1.6.1 Linux Slackware 8.1 233MHZ AMD-K6 96MB RAM Using read.fwf, I tried to open a fixed-width file that of about 4 MB residing in the working directory, using the command below: dat<-read.fwf("sc01aai.dat", widths=fields$length) where fields$lengths is a vector of column widths, 28 to be exact. The data are a mix of character, text, and factor variables. R started
