...that's used is Tcl/Tk and the tcltk package is part of the standard R distribution. Some convenience functions for creating dialogs are exported by the Rcmdr package for use in plug-ins. A couple of relevant -- if somewhat dated -- articles are in R News < http://www.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/Rnews_2007-3.pdf > and the Journal of Statistical Software <http://www.jstatsoft.org/v49/i07>.

Hello R-helpers, I would like to fit a non-linear function to data (Discrete X axis, over-dispersed Poisson values on the Y axis). I found the functions gnlr in the gnlm package from Jim Lindsey: this can handle nonlinear regression equations for the parameters of Poisson and negative binomial distributions, among others. I also found the function nls2 in the software package

Dear R users, An updated version of the np package has recently been uploaded to CRAN (version 0.14-1). The package is briefly described in a recent issue of Rnews (October, 2007, http://cran.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/Rnews_2007-2.pdf) for those who might be interested. A somewhat more detailed paper that describes the np package is forthcoming in the Journal of Statistical Software (http://www.jstatsoft.org) for those might be interested. A much more thorough treatment of the subject matter can be found in Li, Q. and J....

Dear list, I use Sweave almost exclusively for writing papers, and I have become quite spoiled by the excellent xtable export facilities. Has anybody written an xtable method for the Anova function in CAR, or has anybody used a different set of functions to import Anova results into a table in an Sweave document? If not, any handy hints on how to write a good homebrew based on the output of Anova

Dear r helpers, I would like to look at the interaction between two two-level factors, one between and one within participants, after accounting for any variance due to practice (31 trials in each of two blocks) in the task. It seems to require treating practice as a covariate. All the examples I noticed for handling covariates (i.e. ANCOVA, including the ones in Faraway's "Practical

Thank you Jim Holtman and Mark Leeds for your help. Original question: >How do I do the following more concisely? > Bout[is.na(Bout$bd.n), 'bd.n'] <- 0 > Bout[is.na(Bout$ht.n), 'ht.n'] <- 0 > Bout[is.na(Bout$dbh.n), 'dbh.n'] <- 0 >. . . Solution: for (i in c('bd.n', 'ht.n', 'dbh.n')) Bout[is.na(Bout[[i]]), i] <- 0 Toy

Hi, A recent thread provided a (working) construct for lm: lm(as.matrix(freeny[ix]) ~., freeny[-ix]) Can someone explain what is meant by the formula in that expression, that is, what does "mymatrix~." do? I couldn't find any such example in the lm() or formula() help pages. thanks Carl

I have 3 questions (below). Background: I am teaching an introductory statistics course in which we are covering (among other things) repeated measures anova. This time around teaching it, we are using R for all of our computations. We are starting by covering the univariate approach to repeated measures anova. Doing a basic repeated measures anova (univariate approach) using aov() seems

Dear All I would need to perform a MANOVA with both fixed (group, sex, group*sex) and random (brood) effects. I wonder if this is at all possible and if R does that. At the moment, I only know that I can run a classic MANOVA with R.

I'd like to create a user interface for my R code and have only seen mostly older posts on the subject. I'm not looking for an IDE for development, but something that the end user of the software would use. So something that would involve displaying buttons, listboxes, and drop down menus to a user that will facilitate various actions. I doubt there is anything Visual Studio-like that

Hi, I am developing a tool for converting a large data frame stored in an uncompressed binary (XDR) RData file to a delimited text file. The data frame is too large to load() and extract rows from on a typical PC. I'm looking to parse through the file and extract individual entries without loading the whole thing into memory. In terms of some C source functions, instead of doing
