Occasionally, however (about once a week) rsync crashes dedicated server B during any one of these 10 crontab processes. I would be very grateful for your help. regards, Daniel.

Hello, I am looking for a sample size function for samples sizes, to test proportions that are not binomial proportions. The proportions represent a ratio of (final measure) / (baseline measure) on the same experimental unit. Searches using RSeek and such bring multiple hits for binomial proportions, but that doesn't seem to fit my situation. Perhaps there's some standard terminology

...be to tell boxplot not to plot boxes (sounds silly isn't it?). I've tried the option "boxwex=0" but the result is unsatisfactory. An example for a league table can be found in Marshall, Spiegelhalter [1998], Reliability of league tables of in vitro fertilisation clinics, BMJ1998;316:1701-1705, you may find it at http://bmj.bmjjournals.com Thanks in advance Eik Vettorazzi

As a complete newcomer I am attempting to learn to use R, but am finding it extremely difficult because I have not yet found an "Introduction to R". For over a week now I have monitored the R-help list, studied the R-FAQ and related documents, downloaded and run the Windows R and looked at the Help, downloaded early and late samples of the R-help archives, and searched for illuminating

...mply print those and then add them to my table by hand. But I'm trying to be smart and use odfWeave. Now I know I can put them in my caption but I'd probably have added them as an extra row in my table or added it in brackets similar to the SDs/ORs and CIs shown in this example http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content-nw/full/340/feb05_1/c199/TBL2 depending which was more appropriate. - Is there an easy way to do anything like this? I'm thinking that we often put crude numbers in and (%) in brackets, or CIs etc - so my exported table would not ideally be pure numbers. - As a p value usual...

...art Wizzard! I eventually want to use it to analyse some chemotherapy response / survival data. That data will not be mature and so my interest is in using it to deliver predictions of what mature data may produce by using Weibull Regression However for now I've borrowed a dataset from the BMJ (CSV tabs seperated version here: http://www.wittongilbert.free-online.co.uk/HepatitisData.csv ) and am trying to plot some curves. I've succeeded in plotting a Kaplan-Meier Survival Curve by using the following: > my_var.bygroup <- survfit(Surv (Survival, Censored==0) ~ Treatment...

Hi, I want to backup my system via rsync over ssh, but login is *not* permited! According to the sshd_config man page, I need to set PermitRootLogin to forced-commands-only.

Dear R-helpers, This may sound simple to you, but I'm a beginner in this, so please be forgiving. I have a following problem: two analytes were measured in patient's blood on 4 occasions: ProteinA and ProteinB. How to correctly evaluate correlation between ProteinA and ProteinB? I tried: x <- data.frame(Patient.ID=rep(1:10, each=4), Visit=rep(c(1:4),10), ProteinA=rnorm(m=10,
