Proposal That a new mailing list be established that pertains exclusively to R documentation. The purpose of the list would be to discuss weak sections of the documentation and establish fixes for those weak spots. Pro If it works, there would be better documentation. It would be an excellent opportunity for newish and/or less technical people to contribute to R. In some respects such people

...cept and I(year-2007.5), despite the fact that the mean of year is 2007.5. I am puzzled, as I thought centering the time variable should eliminate, or at least strongly reduce, this correlation.

Hi, We could use qqplot to see how two distributions are different from each other. To show better how they are different (departs from the straight line), how is it possible to plot the straight line that goes through them? I am looking for some thing like qqline for qqnorm. I thought of abline but how to determine the slope and intercept? Best wishes, Carol

...tch for RWinEdt? If not, is there another good R editor that works under Windows 7? I tried RSiteSearch with various combinations of Windows 7 and Editor and so on, but found nothing.

...ne idea might be to use lasso on an OLS model of the change score and use the variables selected in further exploration in LME4 or NLME, but that is just an idea, I have no real backing for it.

Hi everyone, I am wondering if there exists a stepwise regression function for the Bayesian regression model. I tried googling, but I couldn't find anything. I know "step" function exists for regular stepwise regression, but nothing for Bayes.

Hi R users, My question is, If I have 3 groups, A, B, C and I know mean of A =20, B=21, and C=20.5 and I also know the standard error of A =1.1, B=2.2, C=3.2. Plus, I know A has 30 observations, B has 78, C has 45. But I do not have the raw data. Can I use pairwise.t.test to conduct a Bonferroni test? If yes, Could you give me a hint? Thank you so much Chunhao -- View this message in

Hi, I am trying to specify a multinomial logit model using the multinom function from the nnet package. Now I add another independent variable and it halves the AIC as given by summary(multinom()). But when I call Anova(multinom()) from the car package, it tells me that this added variable is insignificant (Pr(>Chisq)=0.39). Thus, the improved AIC suggests to keep the variable but the Anova

Hi everybody, well, I definitely don't understand anything. Why the hist function with freq=FALSE gives such a strange result??? R <- c(-1.10, 0.79, -1.17, -0.53, -0.26, -0.22, 0.29, -0.26, -0.26, 0.39) hist(R, freq=FALSE, breaks=10) Thanks everybody [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, I am performing a stepwise regression by running the "step" function on an "lm" object. Now I want to save the intermediate iterations. I know the argument trace=T will print it on the console, but I rather want to assign it to some R object or may be output it in a CSV or text file. Any help will be appreciated. Regards Utkarsh

I have a stupid question on how to get the real p-values for wilcox.test and correlation. the minmun can be reached is 2.2E-16 using the R version 2.6.2. I do not think it is the R version causing this but other issues. Any help is highly appreciated.

Dear All, Is there some way of drawing a boxplot, with R, when one does not have the original continuous data, but only the data grouped in classes? The function boxplot() can only deal with original data. Thanks in advance, Paul

Hello, just a simple question How can I do to invert the sign of a number? (for example: -4 to 4, 2 to -2 and so on..)

Hi All, I have two questions: I am computing a linear regression model with 0 as Intercept. Well, I would like the sum of my predicted values be equal to a constant and therefore analyze if my coefficients are significatively different using or not this constraint. Does anyone know how I can constrain my model in a such way? Here is the code: data<-read.table ("input.txt",

I know it sounds like a silly question but whenever i click on "save to file" it doesn't save. whenever i use the function attach(___) it doesn't work, and says object can not be found. i have a series of data (0,0,0,1,1) that i need to save, then i want to attach(...) it in another R window. Please help. Thanks -- View this message in context:
