Apologies if this has been asked before. I am having trouble understanding the R mailing list never mind R! I am relatively new to R having migrated from Minitab and SPSS. I have managed to do some more complicated statistics such as hierarchical partitioning of variance on an 80,000 record dataset but have to admit that drawing a simple bar plot I could do by hand is proving extremely

Hi, I am having trouble with a large dataset I am importing from SPSS. The problem is I have to merge two datasets (which seems to be working OK) then select rows based on attributes.

I am managing to import my data into R from SPSS with foreign, with no problems. I can do a hierarchical partitioning of variance analysis on the data and do basic stuff like calculate means.

I was struggling in R so have now managed to get rcmdr up and running on my mac (although the help frequently crashes, everything else seems fine, if a bit sluggish; wouldn't use it for stats).
