Dear R-help, How can I replicate the beautiful math plot found in the right-hand side of http://www.r-project.org/screenshots/desktop.jpg? I tried the following code but didn't obtain something as beautiful. r <- seq(-10, 10, len=100) y <- cos(r^2)*exp(-r/6) par(pty="s") plot(r,y,type="l") Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am trying to convince our IT Manager that R is as safe as possible from IT security point of view - could you point me to something on the web / some reasons for why this is true? I do not think he has a specific concern but does not know the software and would like to understand the security implications. Thanks in advance Best Regards Martin Hanek Actuarial Analyst Glacier

Dear R-Help I have some trouble to set the legend in a xyplot into two rows. The code below gives me the legend in the layout I am looking for, I just rather have it in two rows. library(lattice) schluessel <- list( points=list( col="red", pch=19, cex=0.5 ), text=list(lab="John"), lines=list(col="blue"),

If I want to display a few polynomial regression fits I can do something like for (i in 1:6) { mod <- lm(y ~ poly(x,i)) print(summary(mod)) } Suppose that I don't want to over-write the fitted model objects, though. How do I create a list of blank fitted model objects for later use in a loop? Murray Jorgensen -- Dr Murray Jorgensen

Dear useRs, Over the last few years R has gained a significant momentum in the insurance industry. Dedicated packages have been written, numerous presentations given, courses held, businesses set up, and IT departments convinced. ;-) Therefore, together with Markus Gesmann of Lloyd's of London, we created a Special Interest Group mailing list to discuss R usage in actuarial science, insurance (life and non-life) and risk analysis and assessment in general. (With thanks to Diego Mazzeo for the idea and to Martin Maechler for the technical help and list cre...

Dear R-users I have some trouble to generate more than one key with xyplot using the legend argument. I would like one key with rectangles: library(lattice) library(grid) key1 <- list(rectangles = list(col= c(rev(heat.colors(5))[1:5], rev(heat.colors(5))[4:1])), title="Percentiles", space="right",

Dear R users I have been looking for functions that can deal with overdispersed poisson models. According to actuarial literature (England & Verall, Stochastic Claims Reserving in General Insurance , Institute of Actiuaries 2002) this can be handled through the use of quasi likelihoods instead of normal likelihoods. However, we see them frequently in this type of data, and we would like to

Hi all, I am looking for a function in R to trim the last two characters of an 8 character string in a vector. For example, I have the codes 37-079-2, 370079-3,37-079-8 and want to trim them to 37-079 by removing the last two characters. Is sub the correct function to use, and if so how can I specify trimming the last 2 characters? I have read the help file, but can't quite figure out how

I would like to add a footnote to this graph but do not see a "footnote" command in the package:lattice documentation. I would like to note the "span=.8" as the footnote. postscript(file= ?C:/Documents and Settings/dsonneborn/My Documents/Slovak/output/pcb_tables/smooth_PCB_lines_four.ps?, bg=?transparent?, onefile=FALSE, pointsize=20,paper=?letter?, horizontal=TRUE,

I suspect there is a simple solution to this problem, but have been unable to find it. Below is some code that I have run to create 3 lattice graphs. I have been asked to change the legend so that the 'No' and dark blue are above "Y" and light blue in the legend to mirror the stacked bars in the graph which feature dark blue above light blue. I have tried changing the data

Dear R-list I am (forced) to change from Linux to Mac and am now looking for a new editor for R. I would like one that features a split window (console + editor) as well as syntax highlighting. Can anyone help? Especially the split-window feature does not seem to be easily available in the editors desribed on the R-help site, except Emacs, which I am reluctant to start using. I am on a MacBook Air
