Hi R-users: Yesterday I ran a R code for 9 hours and it did not show any sign to stop. Then I interrupted it and found it had completed 82.5%. This morning I decided to wait for another 11 hours to see what will happen. Wait a minute, I heard that transforming data.frame to matrix will make R code faster. Then I made the modification in my R code. Oooh, the new code finished within 30 minutes!!

Hi R users, Maybe the question is too simple. In a IF ... ELSE ... statement "if(cond) cons.expr else alt.expr", IF and ELSE should be at the same line? For example, if (x1==12) { y1 <- 5 }else { y1 <- 3 } is right, while if (x1==12) { y1 <- 5 } else # Error: syntax error { y1 <- 3 } is wrong? Thanks -- Xiaohua Dai

Hi R-profs, Maybe my question is a little off topic. Could any one tell me how to calculate a linear-circular correlation coefficient and its p-values? I had a quick look at circular and CircStats packages and did not find the related function. Thanks for any kindly help.

Dear Dr. Bivand and R-users, I have a 5 by 5 grid, say, location[1:5,1:5], and I want to know the indices of 8 neighbours of each cell. For example, for location[2,2], its neighbour coordinates are [1,1:3], [2,1], [2,3] and [3,1:3]. Sometimes I also need to remove edge effects (torus = TRUE). I have tried "cell2nb" function in your spdep package. Here's my example: > neigh

Dear Gabor, Thank your for helping me so much! I have loaded R the newest version 2.1.1.
