Hi, I seem to have a key colour problem with a lattice barchart. The colours on my key rectangle don't match the colours on the barchart. Here is my data frame: "LandFill" "Ruminants" "United States (USA)" 7777.21428 5528.16 "France" 200.527083 1299.87 "Australia" 185.878368 2448.17 "Russian Federation" 1752.8334 2024.29

As a long-time author of computer books, fairly experienced MVC/OO thinker/coder, and recent Rails convert, it is probably not surprising that my midnight ruminations occasionally lead me to wonder if a Rails book might not be an interesting undertaking. But I know there are some great titles out there already and undoubtedly dozens more in the works. I''m interested in writing

[ Wish there was a generic, active Linux "storage" mailing list out there -- something other than the kernel lists I mean ] To frame the discussion, we use VMware ESX (vSphere) quite a bit with NFS datastores. Often times with NetApp, but lately, more often with Solaris 10 + ZFS + SSD's for ZIL (intent log or write cache). The ZIL lets us use synchronous writes (safer) without

I am using lme to handle repeated measurements. So far i can follow the examples from the book from pinheiro and bates. Now i get the problem , that i have "nested" repeated measuremnts, and i cant find out how to do the grouping part of the lme formula. 1.The simple problem ist that i have different Samples , from which i make repeated measurements (each sample is measured 6 times) and

I have a table with some data structured something like this: book ---- title (varchar) pages (int) completed_on (date) While I can find the shortest book completed in each year with something like this: select min( pages ), year from book group by year I would also like to get the title of the shortest book in each year. Is there any way to do this by modifying the previous query to pull

...atches the catch-all (because the personality function says so) and it will cause execution to resume at the corresponding landing pad. What's the corresponding technique for the new scheme? To get a cleanup add the "cleanup" flag to the landingpad instruction. That said, I'm ruminating on whether the cleanup flag should be removed: instead there would always be an implicit cleanup. As an optimization, the code generators would not output a cleanup into the exception handling tables if no useful code is executed when the cleanup is run. This seems to be what recent versions of G...

I'm looking at the docs, and while it refers to a "catch-all" clause, it doesn't describe how to construct one. In the old scheme, a selector value of 0 was used. What's the corresponding technique for the new scheme? Do I need to update my personality function to handle catch-alls (it wasn't needed in the previous scheme)? -- -- Talin -------------- next part

Dear R users I encounter a problem when i perform a generalized linear mixed model (binary data) with the lmer function (package lme4) with R 2.1.0 on windows XP and the latest version of package "lme4" (0.96-1) and "matrix" (0.96-2) both options "PQL" and "Laplace" for the method argument in lmer function gave me the same results (random and fixed effects

...C++'s way of saying "this is a catch-all". Ada uses a global variable (function?) for this.

In short: I didn't take enough stats courses in college. Now I am working on scientific research and I feel somewhat lost when it comes to designing the statistical framework. I have looked through the books at: http://www.r-project.org/doc/bib/R-books.html I even tried to read [17] Julian J. Faraway. Linear Models with R. This book is too advanced. It helped a little bit but I still

Dear all, I do not seem to grasp how contrasts are set for ordered factors. Perhaps someone can elighten me? When I work with ordered factors, I would often like to be able to reduce the used polynomial to a simpler one (where possible). Thus, I would like to explicetly code the polynomial but ideally, the intial model (thus, the full polynomial) would be identical to one with an ordered factor.

Ok, this has got me going a bit crazy. I have an HTML fragment being returned for the result to an AJAX query. It works fine in Safari or from curl (and even in IE/Mac), but utterly fails to load in Firefox, even if I point directly to the URL, skipping all that AJAX stuff in between. (The server logs show a 200 response, regardless of which browser is being used.) I''ve verified

Hi All, I generate a pdf report that contains a table. The report is 14 pages, and it takes 20s to be rendered. Most of these 20s are spend in the render_on method. I wonder if it is possible to speed up that process? To create the report, I do the following: 1) Setup pdf layout: # Setup pdf layout pdf.select_font("Helvetica", { :encoding => "WinAnsiEncoding"})

Does someone out there have an example of R-code for a split-split plot ANOVA using aov or another function? The design is not balanced. I never set up one in R before and it would be nice to see an example before I tackle a very complex design I have to model. Thanks, Mike Mike Saunders Research Assistant Forest Ecosystem Research Program Department of Forest Ecosystem Sciences University of

Hello, Does logistic regression really provide better results than lda or qda ? (my purpose is not classification but highlighting of discriminant variables). If this is true, where could I get an R script performing stepwise logistic regression ? Thanks -- Daniel AMORESE Lab.

I''m using a web service to retrieve an array of results to a search and a render :partial to display those results to the user, while at the same time putting the results into the session. Is there a way for my _book.rhtml file to have access to the index of the result currently being displayed, like each_with_index makes available to its block? This would allow me to have the

Thanks for the suggestion, Ben. This seems an excellent approach to the problem, except that I''d been under the impression that one could only call render once. If you call it multiple times as the each_with_index loop iterates, are the results just combined automatically? How does that work? Thanks!
