Hi. This is my first post to this list, I seem to be graduating to from the r-help list. :-) I'm trying to wrap my R package in a GUI such that when the user launches the app, they see my GUI window and never interact with the R console at all. I don't have any fancy requirements for the GUI itself-- all it needs to do is collect input from the user and pass the input as arguments to

Let's say I've run Anova(lm(y~a*b)) and found the a:b interaction to be significant. Now I'm interested in which specific level combinations of a and b significantly differ from the control group. Can I use the t-tests from summary(lm(y~a*b)) to answer that question? I saw no mention of multiple comparison in the documentation for summary.lm, so am I right in assuming I need to

Motivation: during each iteration, my code needs to collect tabular data (and use it only during that iteration), but the rows of data may vary. I thought I would speed it up by preinitializing the matrix that collects the data with zeros to what I know to be the maximum number of rows. I was surprised by what I found... # set up (not the puzzling part) x<-matrix(runif(20),nrow=4);

Hello, and apologies for the upcoming naive questions. I am a biologist who is trying to teach himself the appropriate areas of math and stats. I welcome pointers to suggested background reading just as much as I do direct answers to my question. Let's say I have a function F() that takes variables (a,b,c,a1,b1,c1) and returns x, and I want to find the values of these variables that result in

Hello. To save the hassle of quitting and restarting R every time I rebuild the package I'm working on (for the purposes of this question called "roots") I would like to write a script cleanly remove the package from my R session and then load it again. Of course detach("package:roots") works for the native R objects in the package. However, the compiled C library remains

I've been able to figure out on my own how to do what I need in the largely undocumented tcltk package, but I've finally hit a wall. I can't even think of any sufficiently specific search terms to use for this. I'm trying to make the widgets in my tk window resize when the window is resized by clicking and dragging on its corners or edges. Instead they stay exactly where they

Hello. I wrote a package (that contains C source) that I've been compiling and running on both Linux and Windows for about a year. However, that same source package fails to compile on MacOS (10.4.11, PowerPC G4, Xcode installed, gcc version 4.0.1, make version 3.80, ld version cctools-590.23.2.obj~17). There is nothing platform-specific in the code-- just numerical functions that I

Let's assume that according to Anova(lm(y~a*b, data=d)) the a:b interaction is significant, and I would like to know if there are specific combinations of a and b levels that differ from the control group. Are there any caveats against simply looking at the p-values in the output generated by summary(lm(y~a*b,data=d))? The documentation for summary.lm says nothing about multiple comparison

Dear list: I am attempting to use what I thought would be a pretty straightforward practical application of Cox regression. I figure users of the survival package must have come across this problem before, so I would like to ask you how you dealt with it. I have set up an illustrative example and included it at the end of this post. I took a sample of 100 data points from each of two populations
