My apologies in advance for my thickness but I can't seem to solve the following, seemingly simple, data manipulation problem: I have a data frame that contains multiple factors and multiple continuous response variables, but duplicates of some factor combinations. The duplicates contain bad data, so I would like to eliminate the duplicates. I would like to retain the entire rows

How do I cite a package (not R itself - I know how to do that)? Any thoughts or links? Many thanks in advance? Hank Stevens Dr. Martin Henry H.

Hi - I am getting different results when I run the numerical integrator function lsoda (odesolve package) on a Mac and a PC. I am trying to simulating a system of 10 ODE's with two exogenous pulsed inputs to the system, and have had reasonably good success with many model parameter sets. Under some parameter sets, however, the simulations fail on the Mac (see error message below). The

R v. 1.7.1, Windows 2000. A particular journal wants me to provide scatter plots with no box, but with axes that meet in the lower left corner. It seems as though there must be an easy way of doing this, but my reading the help on plot.default, axis, and box have not provided any clues. I would be most appreciative of any feedback. Thank you, Hank Stevens Dr. Martin Henry H. Stevens,

Mac OS 10.3.5, R 2.0.0 latest version of geoR I have an incomplete 5 x 20 spatial array of samples (60 out of 100 possible locations) for which I would like to calculate directional variograms using variog4(). Unfortunately, I can't get it to return all 4 directions. It returns variograms for 45, 90, and 135 degrees, omitting 0 degrees (pi/4, pi/2, 3pi/4, omitting 0). If I specify 0

Hi Folks, How do I get red bold font on my y axis and black standard font on my x axis? plot(runif(10), ylab="Red, Bold?", xlab="Black, standard?") Any pointers or examples would be great. Thanks!

Hello, this might be little off-topic, but still... I have not found any official web forum for R users. Did I look good? If not, I'm sorry and shame on me! :-) Such forums are very probably the most common way to share information about all sorts of problems, to ask and get answer. See http://forums.opensuse.org/ as an example. Admins, developers, users, do You think to have such forum

Hi All, I am running R 2.2.0 on Mac OS 10.4.2, dual G5 processors with 8 Gig RAM. I am running a simulation with lsoda that requires ~378 s to complete one set of time intervals. I need to optimize the parameters, and so need to considerably speed up the simulation. I have tried to figure out how to change the appropriate memory allocation and have search R help and Introductory

Hi Folks, I am using Windows 2000 and was wondering what (Open Source) software R users use or might recommend for symbolic computations (aside from the ol' noggin, e.g., Maxima, Mathomatic) .

Using R v. 1.7.0 on Windows 2000 I would like to plot the fitted values of a model as a function of a continuous covariate, augmented with data (e.g., augPred) grouping by combinations of fixed effects. I have not been able to use augPred effectively, and am wondering if it does not handle unbalanced data (3 out of 192 missing). I include below the model and an xyplot that almost does the

I recently formatted and reinstalled my laptop. Since then html-help function is not working properly. I can open the page, however, searching for any term or opening any link does not work. The Internet explorer just mentions an error on the page if I try to open a links and instead of searching it reloads the page. Reinstalling R did not help and now I am not sure if it is the IE, or R, or

Dear list, My apologies if a solution / explanation to this already exists on the list, but it is difficult to assign it to a certain keyword. test<-c(1:3) testfct <- function(x) {test[1]<-100} test [1] 1 2 3 testfct(1) [1] 1 2 3 Basically, I would like to write data into an external table that the function does not know. Why is this not working / what alternatives exist? Thanks,

Hi Folks, I was wondering what everyone thought about adding a sentence to each package update announcement that described what the package did. R extensions are so numerous that it is difficult to keep up with them. Would it be appropriate to ask package developers to add a brief sentence about what the package does, when they announce updates? I would benefit from such descriptions.

Hello dear R-users, I have a tricky problem of data manipulation with R. Although it seems very easy, I can not solve it by myselves. The problem is a variable in my dataset is usually be readed as "factor" (variable mode), however I want it be a "numeric" one. I want to know how can I define an variable/column in a dataframe as numeric mode, after I imported a large

Dear R-listers, I do clustering on tens of individuals by thousands of traits. I have known the assignment of each individual. I want to classify the individuals by randomly resampling different subsets of the traits, for example, randomly resampling 100 traits for 100 times, then 200 traits for 100 times, then 300 traits for 100 times, ,,,,,,. By each subset of traits, I do clustering of the

hi, this may be trivial, but we can't seem to find anything adequate, (although there is a work around with match() ). We are looking for something along the lines of plot(table1[table1$var2==or("a","b","c","d"),"var1"]) would be handy, with the potential or() function leading to what plot(table1[table1$var2=="a" |

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
