PROBLEM `signif' does change to scientic notation at different levels depending on the number of significant digits in the input. This can generate tables where figures change ``irregularly'' from normal to scientific notation. PROPOSAL The change to the scientific notation should be made only if the figure in scientific notation - with potentially as

We''re developing a system that''s used for tracking company IPO data and we''re running into a few number storage issues. For large numbers, i.e. numbers greater than 100 million, MySQL insists on storing these as scientific notation. I don''t really have a problem with that but when we want to edit these fields using something like: <% form_for(@company) do

Hey everyone, I know I've come across this somewhere, in either the blue or white books or in one of the help docs but I can't put my hand on it. What's the name of the statistical notation used in R? responseVar ~ anExplantory:anotherExplantory + thridExplantory Is this part of a coherent framework of notation that is as applicable to models which are not generalized linear models

The labels on the x-axis are defaulting to scientific notation no matter how small cex.axis is. How can I override scientific notation to get the labels to print out as specified? Here is the code (UNIT here is 0.0105): plot(xm,yv,log="xy",ylim=c(0.1,20)/UNIT,xlim=c(0.004,20)*UNIT,xaxt="n",t ype="n") axis(1,

Dear List: Below is how I specify an axis: axis(2, at=c(0.00005, 0.0005)) R displays the numbers in scientific notation. What argument/parameter should I use to tell R to display the numbers as specified rather than in scientific notation? > version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386 os mingw32 system i386, mingw32 status major

Hello. I am curious why did you changed TableGen to allow in principle only writing ASM instructions in prefix notation. I ask because I personally use an assembly notation that is infix (I could use a simple preprocessor that changes prefix to infix). Just to mention: I found the solution to this - the following part of the code is responsible for this from

While I'm very pleased with the results I get with rpart and rpart.plot, I would like to change the scientific notation of the dependent variable in the plots into integers. Right now all my 5 or more digit numbers are displayed using scientific notation. I managed to find this: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e8/help/09/12/8423.html but I do not fully understand what to change, and to

Hi Folks, Compare print(1234567890,digits=4) # [1] 1.235e+09 print(1234567890,digits=5) # [1] 1234567890 Granted that digits: a non-null value for 'digits' specifies the minimum number of significant digits to be printed in values. how does R decide to switch from the "1.235e+09" (rounded to 4 digits, i.e. the minumum, in "e" notation) to

I'm hoping someone with some experience generating tables in Sweave will be able to solve this problem for me. I'm experiencing some inconsistency with the way floating point numbers are displayed -- for some tables, they will be in standard notation, e.g. 11±26 while in others, it uses exponential notation, e.g. 1.1e+01±2.6e+01 I am using code such as the following; note I have

Hi I am using xyplot() to plot on the log scale by using scale=list(log=T) argument. For example: xyplot(1:10~1:10, scales=list(log=T)) But the axis labels are printed as scientific notation (10^0.0, etc), instead of fixed notation. How can I change that to fixed notation? options(scipen=4) doesn't work on xyplot() Thanks John

Dear list, I am currently writing up some of my R models in a more formal sense for a paper, and I am having trouble with the notation. Although this isn't really an 'R' question, it should help me to understand a bit better what I am actually doing when fitting my models! Using the analysis of co-variance example from MASS (fourth edition, p 142), what is the correct notation for the

Hi, I have a 3 by 2 plots per page, and would like to place a legend on the last region. How to do that ? Also, is there any way to specify scientific notation for axes label ? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Moving from S-plus to R I encountered many great features and a much more stable system. Currently, I am left with 2 problems that are handled differently: 1) I did lots of "overplots" in S-Plus using par(new=T,xaxs='d',yaxs='d') to fix the axes ->What is the workaround in R ? 2) In S-Plus I could fix "scientific notation" or "normal notation" in

R gurus, Every so often(*) someone asks how to suppress scientific notation in printing, so I thought I'd give it a shot, but I need some help. The formatting decision is made(**) on line 286 of src/main/format.c : if (mF <= *m) { /* IFF it needs less space : "F" (Fixpoint) format */ where mF is the number of characters for "normal" printing and *m is the number

Dear all, I am having troubles importing values written as scientific notation using read.table(). I'm sure this is a frequent problem, as many people in my lab have this problem as well, so I'm sure that I just have troubles googling for the right solution. The problem is, that, given a file like that: a 1 2e-4 b 2 3e-8 ... the third column gets imported as a factor, or a string if I

Hi, Would anyone have any idea as to why I would obtain completely different results when subsetting using the subset function vs bracket notation? I have a data frame with 65 variables and 4382 rows. When I use execute the following subset command I get the correct results (125 rows) > subset(df, Renewal==TRUE, 1:2)   However, I tried to obtain the same results with bracket notation as

Hello All, I am looking for some help with was is probably very simple: I want the y-axis title '$B&D(B13C$B"s(B VPDB' and similarly for nitrogen on a secondary axis. I am able to get the delta notation and per mil notation separately but one messes up the other with the inclusion of quotations: ylab=expression("{delta}^13*C \211 VPDB") gives the per mil just fine but

Is there a better alternative to x = c(1e7, 2e7) x.lb = c(0,1e7,2e7) s.lb = format(x.lb, scientific = FALSE, big.mark = ",") barplot(x, yaxt = "n", ylab = "") axis(side = 2, at = x.lb, labels = s.lb) (I am sure there is a better alternative to line 2 :)). Thank you. -- View this message in context:

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone might know a way to stop R reading my survival history that has zeros at the beginning in as scientific notation. The data is being read in from a .txt file via read.table to be used with Rmark I have the same issues at the moment with reading in .csv and .xls files. The number was formatted as text in the .xls file otherwise excel puts it into scientific notation

At the APL conference in Berlin on July 24 I am giving a talk about about a molecule-like notation for arrays for which some prototype code is available in R. It is a graphical notation for arrays of higher rank which makes the structure of arrays and their various concatenations intuitively apparent, and which, in my judgment, would make an excellent interface for array programming languages. I
