optimal windows R machine
For some mysterious reason I do not believe this was delivered to the list. Sorry if it turns out to be a duplicate.---Bob >> Subject: optimal R windows machine I have the happy task of purchasing a new windows desktop PC. I have a limited but not unreasonable budget and access to discounts and so forth. What would be folks' suggestions of priorities and requirements be if I will

lowess + turnpoints = doubling integers?
Happy New Year, r-helpers! I am using lowess to smooth a scatter plot, xx<-lowess(xinput,f=.04) #defaults for other args followed by turnpoints(xx$y) #defaults for other args I plot the smoothed result as well as turnpoints (using yy$tppos) on top of raw data plot. Result is exactly as expected, graphically. For another purpose, I calcuate the difference between turnpoints (representing

fisher exact vs. simulated chi-square
Dear All, I have a problem understanding the difference between the outcome of a fisher exact test and a chi-square test (with simulated p.value). For some sample data (see below), fisher reports p=.02337. The normal chi-square test complains about "approximation may be incorrect", because there is a column with cells with very small values. I therefore tried the chi-square with

list function objects only
I use R and SPlus intensely, yet sporadically, and always seem to forget something essential....even if I keep logs. Anyway, I thought I used to use a command in R to list or identify only those objects that were functions.....eg to create a list for filing. Am I hallucinating? I can't seem to find the function I want in SEARCH. In a related way, is there an R package that provides object

scientific notation
If I knew this, I have forgotten it: Is there a way to force R to forgo use of scientific notation, e.g. to use .000029 instead of 2.9e-05? (Aside from using formatC for example) I run across this every now and then and work around it (multiple values by 100, for example) but cannot find any way to deal with it otherwise. A particularly problematic place it pops up is in axis tick labels.

a statistic question about chisq.test() (aprilsun)
The Chisquare test is based upon a normal approx of the (essentially) binomial distribution for the data in question. Small EXPECTED (not observed) values (<5) suggest a asymetric distribution and potential errors in inferential conclusions. The alternative is the exact test, which calculates the exact probabilities of the observed distribution, or a more extreme one, given the constraining
