Hi! I am calculating correlation between two variables: 1. X versus Y 2. X versus Y(with a 3 steps lag) I would like to test if the correlation increase/decrease from 1 to 2 is significant or not. Is there any function in R to do this? any hints? Thanks for help :) David Ria?o Center for Spatial Technologies and Remote Sensing (CSTARS) University of California 250-N, The Barn One Shields

Hi all, I am extremely newbie to R. Can anybody jump-start me with any clues as to how do I get a cumulative histogram from two independent variables, cumhist(X,Y) ? -jose [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, i'm trying to find a more modern system to reproduce the functionality that was available through the Histoscope program (from Fermilab). Namely, the capability of connecting to a running process and having plots update in realtime in response to new data. Is this possible with R? Thank you, Charles Cosse [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi.. I'm not sure why polygon returns an area above the standard normal curve. z <- pretty(c(-3,3), 100) ht <- dnorm(z) data <- data.frame(z=z, ht=ht) zc <- 1.645 plot(data, type="l") lines(data) t <- subset(data, z>zc) polygon(t, col="red") Thanks, Lance [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, which possibilities are available in R for simultaneous or parallel computing? I only could find biopara (http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Descriptions/biopara.html) Are there other possibilities? Are there special groups working on simultaneous computing with R?

Hello everybody My collegue and I noticed a strange behaviour of R on different platforms. It's a simple computation, but results are rather different. On Windows XP: > floor(log(8,2)) [1] 3 which is what one should expect. Here's instead the result with Mac OS X (same version, 2.5.0 (2007-04-23)) > floor(log(8,2)) [1] 2 Is it a "bug" in R or in the operating

I want to use the aggregate function to summarize data by a factor (my field plots), but I want the summary to be the majority level of another factor. For example, given the dataframe: Plot1 big Plot1 big Plot1 small Plot2 big Plot2 small Plot2 small Plot3 small Plot3 small Plot3 small My desired result would be: Plot1 big Plot2 small Plot3 small I

Greetings, I am working on a logistic regression model in R and I am struggling with the code, as it is a relatively new program for me. In searching Google for 'logistic regression diagnostics' I came Elizabeth Brown's Lecture 14 from her Winter 2004 Biostatistics 515 course (http://courses.washington.edu/b515/l14.pdf) . I found most of the code to be very helpful, but I am

I want to use R to run a reaction-time experiment: Something appears on the screen, I respond by typing something (one keystroke), the system measures the speed of my response. R would be great for this if only I didn't have to hit Enter to enter that keystroke. I am doing such experiments now but they require two actions per trial: hit keystroke, hit Enter. Is there some way that R can be
