I am sorry to ask such a simple question, but my knowledge of programming language is extremely limited, and I couldn't find the answer in any of the normal resources. I want to do a for loop in which m takes on the values 1, 5, 10, 15, 20. What is the syntax for doing that? I had been doing a loop for m in 1:20, but I only want those values above. Thanks, Brian

dear R group: I have the probably fairly common problem that I would like to have one code.R file do different things if it is invoked from a symbolic link, which should be easy to uncover. $ ln -s code.R code-0.R $ ln -s code.R code-1.R $ R CMD BATCH code-1.R what needs to be in code-1.R to put code-1.r into a character vector? help appreciated. regards, /ivo welch PS : I read

Do you know of a reference that discusses alternative choices for plotting positions for a normal probability plot? The documentation for qqnorm says it calls ppoints, which returns qnorm((1:m-a)/(m+1-2*a)) with "a" = ifelse(n<=10, 3/8, 1/2)? The help pages for qqnorm and ppoints just refer to Becker, Chambers and Wilks (1988) The New S Language (Wadsworth & Brooks/Cole),

Hello R-users, I need to create a vector inserting an 1 after each value of another vector. For example: vec1<-c(2,3,4) I need to create a vector with the values 2,1,3,1,4 Does anyone know how create this vector without loops (vec1 could have 1000 elements) Thank you, Juan -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read

I'm experiencing a new and annoying phenomenon which seems to consist of an unfortunate interaction between R-1.7.0 and netscape version 7. When I invoke help.start(), a netscape window duly appears with the browser pointed at the file .../R/doc/html/index.html as one would hope and expect. However if I then ask for help on a function, e.g. > help(glm) the help does NOT get displayed
