Apologies for the off-topic question; as usual I'm trying to draw upon the unparalleled knowledge and sagacity of the r-help list. Please reply off-list if you can help me out. A collaborator of mine found a formula we need, on sheets which he had photocopied out of a book, some years ago. He cannot remember which book (he's getting to be as senile and forgetful as I am, poor bloke!).

Here's one for you phone people.... An elderly lady phoned her telephone company to report that her telephone failed to ring when her friends called - and that on the few occasions when it did ring, her pet dog always moaned right before the phone rang. The telephone repairman proceeded to the scene, curious to see this psychic dog or senile elderly lady. He climbed a nearby telephone pole,

Hey all, Working slowly on getting the myriad number of parts to my fax system plan together, and one of the pieces I want to nail is how to go about, for the outbound context (fax-out) pre-pending a digit onto a number? I.e., for all my testing right now, I've been dialing '91XXXXXXXXXX', as the asterisk server doing faxing junctions into my old Rolm CBX switch, and so I need the

In looking through Red Hat's FTP site, I can find no such statement with regards to "do not use on production servers" in any README or Release Notes of Hurricane, Hedwig, Guinness or Psyche (Red Hat Linux 5.0, 6.0, 7 and 8.0, respectively). What I have found in my archives is a cutting from the official Red Hat Network (RHN) announcement of Psyche (8.0) that says two things: 1)

I would have thought this to be relatively elementary, but I can't find it mentioned in any of my stats texts. Please consider the following: library(fitdistrplus) fp = fitdist(y,"exp"); rate = fp$estimate; sd = fp$sd fOneWeek = exp(-rate*7); #fraction that happens within a week - y is measured in days fr = exp(-rate*dt); #fraction remaining - dt = elapsed time from

Hi, In my reading of pairing means of two independent samples, I read statements such as the standard error of the meanof X1 minus the mean of X2 is the square root of s1^2/n1+s2^2/n2. Then I read: "We could now derive the two independent samples confidence interval and test statistic. However, a problem arises in that the distribution of the test statistic (under the null hypothesis) will

Hi - I apologize for the 2nd post, but I think my question from a few weeks ago may have been overlooked on a Friday afternoon. I might be missing something very obvious, but is it widely known that the aggregate function handles missing values differently depending if a data frame or a formula is the first argument ? For example, (d<- data.frame(sex=rep(0:1,each=3),
