hi, R-users I have a data.frame for example test$newdataday24 and test$newdataday48 I can plot them by plot(test$newdataday24) but now i want to plot different data by define a variable to describe them dayno<-c(24,48) newnam<-paste("test$newdataday",dayno,sep="") plot(newnam[1]) but i failed,the error message said that something wrong with plot.window what can i do

Dear All, I'me having (much) trouble understanding why it happened and answering a referee's comment to part of a submitted manuscript. I've tried to google for help but... I'm really confident that although this is a R-Help list someone can help me! I used R to do an ANCOVA w/ RNA/DNA as the dep var, sl as the indep var and gut (a factor w/ levels: prey and empty) as...

We have extracted parameters from physiological measurements by fitting SSlogis-like curves with nlsList and nlme. We presented residuals plot in a paper, but a referee argues that these cannot be included (too technical), and r-square values should be given instead to compare the goodness of fit with those of other authors. I remember that 30 years ago in my stat 101, I learned that r-square is nonsense for non-linear fits, but I cannot find a referee-proof cita...

In the course of revising a paper I have had occasion to attempt to maximize a rather complicated log likelihood using the function nlm(). This is at the demand of a referee who claims that this will work better than my proposed use of a home- grown implementation of the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. I have run into serious hiccups in attempting to apply nlm(). If I provide gradient and hessian attributes to the returned function value (the ***negative*** of the...

The concrete problem is that I am refereeing a paper where a confidence interval is presented for the risk ratio and I do not find it credible. I show below my attempts to do this in R. The example is slightly changed from the authors'. I can obtain a confidence interval for the odds ratio from fisher.test of course === fisher.test e...

Dear R News, I am inquiring whether the articles that are published in the 'R News' have undergone a peer-review/refereeing process, for the purpose of reporting the academics publications here at the University of Sydney to the Australian Government. Thank you for your assistance. Regards Glenn Glenn Howell| Faculty Research Assistant FACULTY OF ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS Institute building N412 (H03) The...

R-ers! Referees demand that the line in the KM-curve should be changed to dotted at the point where standarerror is <= 10 %. I don't think it's a good habit but I urgently need to implement such a thing in R with survfit, survplot or another program. They also want numbers at risk below the curve...

...er? 2) I have read linux-xen-sparse/arch/i386/kernel/{traps-xen.c,traps.c,vmlinux.lds.S}, and looks like Dom1 still handles interrupts itself? Why, because I suppose that the VMM already intercepts those interrupts? 3) How is linux-xen-sparse/arch/i386/kernel/traps-xen.c compiled, while it is not refereed to in linux-xen-sparse/arch/i386/kernel/Makefile? I see traps.c is refereed instead of traps-xen.c, but I still saw traps-xen.o there after compiling? What traps.c does, and what traps-xen.c does, since both are very similar to me. Thanks.

...ctor which wishes to relocate objects directly reachable from running code, a higher standard is required. I don't understand what the move "relocate objects directly reachable from running code" trying to do. For my information, the concept "relocate" means the gc pointer refereed to a new location of an object, for example: in Java: Foo foo = new Foo(); foo = new Foo(); // ---> a relocation happens So can anyone explain what the "relocate objects directly reachable from running code" trying to do? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment...

...ramos que hacemos 10 tests, uno por especie ¿Habría que corregir el valor critico de la significación de alguna forma? En mi opinión no, son tests independientes, uno para cada especie ¿Sabéis donde puedo encontrar información sobre esto? Tengo que justificarlo bastante bien, por que cualquier referee que vea una tabla con un montón de p-valores querrá una corrección de la significación. Muchas gracias. Jaume.

...ched patch changes the verifier to > reject aliases to declarations and updates that language reference. MachO has an R_INDR (== "indirect") symbol flag/type that (from my understanding) exactly reflects this. The linker is supposed to record the alias and define both symbols when the referee is defined. In fact, I've been working on exposing this to C code very recently so I'd obviously quite like it to stick around. Currently I've not submitted a patch because, even though it's documented, ld64 doesn't have support just yet so I can't actually test things prop...

Please consider contributing a paper, and encouraging your students and young faculty to submit a paper and request travel support. The deadline for these has also been extended to May 15. Contributed papers will be refereed. Please also note that we have negotiated airline discounts with both Northwest and United airlines. They are excellent discounts, there is some reduction in even the cheapest fares. So do keep this in mind when you plane your travel. Details are on the web page. The deadline to submit an abstra...

People I apologise for asking a general stats question, but I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do following some hostile referees' comments. If I have a fully randomised blocked design, with only three blocks, should I treat block as a random or fixed effect? I have read comments about not treating block as a random effect if the number of blocks is less than 6 or 7: is this right? Any advice much appreciated R...
