We are seeking a talented and driven postdoctoral fellow to join the laboratory of Jake Michaelson, PhD, assistant professor in the department of psychiatry at the University of Iowa. The Michaelson lab investigates the effect of genetic variation on the development and function of the brain, particularly in the context of neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism and language impairment. Our

(Many thanks to David Barron & Jonathan Baron for pointing me to 'recode' in the 'car' package). I think I've been told this before, but how do I search for a function/keyword in libraries I don't yet have installed? (ie. on the CRAN site I tried the search engines with "recode" etc., but didn't pick up the car package this way) Stuart Dr Stuart Leask

Hi Stuart, I often use this small function standardize <- function(x) ( x - mean(x, na.rm=T) ) / sqrt(var(x, na.rm=T)) to standardize variables. You should be able to use this to do what you want by splitting the data frame into sections based on the factor level, using standardize() to create a new variable in each section, then paste the data frame back together. Something like: #

Dear all, One can use ks.test(x,y) for a one-sample kolmogorov-smirnov test: x being the data sample y being a string specifying a distribution I notice the help on ks.test does not tell you how to get such a list. Is this a hole in my R knowledge? Where can I get a list of the strings specifying the possible distributions? and more specifically What would be the string and following

Dear list, sorry to waste your time. I downloaded R and I like it very much. However, my main interest is in plotting 3D graphics form imported data (points and lines in a 3d space). I imported data in a very elegant way but I wasn't able to find in R something similar to the simple "splot" function of WGNUplot (I don't need persp, image, contour: my values are not

Dear R-help readers, I'm sure this problem has been answered but I can't find the solution. I have two vectors v1 <- c("a","b") v2 <- c(1,2,3) I want an easy way to produce every possible combination of v1, v2 elements Ie I want to produce c("a1","a2","a3", "b1","b2","b3") regards Desmond Desmond

I'm having trouble achieving the results I want using a regular expression. I want to eliminate all characters that fall within square brackets as well as the brackets themselves, returning an "". I'm not sure if it's R's use of double slash escapes or something else that is tripping me up. If I only use one slash I get 1: '\[' is an unrecognized escape in a

Are there any suitable routines that perform factor analysis of categorical or mixed categorical/continuous data in R?

I'm having trouble with a Bioconductor package, an variable expected in an environment does not seem to be there. As part of my investigation of the problem (most likely on my end) I'd like to list the variables contained in an environment. If you have an environment loaded, lets call it "pkgEnv', how does one find what it does contain? Mark

*Dear experts,* Please excuse me for disturbing... Right now I am struggling with GLM a bit... Would you be so kind to provide me a solution on using nuisance variables. The problem is that I have data on Depression (volumetric measurements of different brain regions) and I want to include age, gender and education as nuisance parameters in the model. In the other words I would like to model the

Hi, I have a frame "treat" and want to find matched pairs in the data frame "control". In the matched (combined) data frame there should be two variables (0/1),indicating the "source" of the data (treat or control), so that it is possibe to set a "filter" (extraxt/select data). #Here are the dataframes (my real data frames have many variables) treat <-

I have a very long list of strings. Each string actually contains multiple values separated by a semi-colon. I need to turn each string into a vector of the values delimited by the semi-colons. I know I can do this very laboriously by using loops, nchar, and substr, but it is terribly slow. Is there a basic R function that handles this situation? If not, is there perhaps a faster way to do it than

I was not sure who I should contact about this, so I am posting this here. There are a few broken links on the R website. 1) http://www.r-project.org/search.html -> link to the Nabble R Forum. I belive the correct/new URL should be: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/ 2) http://www.r-project.org/other-docs.html -> link to "Auswertung ?kologischer Daten". Not sure if there is a new

Hi, I am still new to R and have a programming question. I have created a small function which takes a parameter. In the function I want to be able to refer to the names of the variables sent to the function (specifically I want to be able to use the name of the variable given to the function in an output table). For example, in the following (fictional) function I want some way of printing

To whom it may concern: My name is Jillian Weinfeld. I am currently and undergraduate student at New York University and working at Mount Sinai School of Medicine doing research with epilepsy patients. At the moment I am creating a manhattan plot with my data set. After reading many forums and such, I have appropriately plotted my data, however, I wanted to see how I can change the colors of the

I am getting some unexpected results from some functions of igraph and it is possible that I am misinterpreting the vertex numbers. Eg., the max betweenness measure seems to be from a vertex that is not connected to a single other vertex. Below if my code snippet: require(igraph) my.graph <- graph.adjacency(adjmatrix = my.adj.matrix, mode=c("undirected")) most.between.vert <-
