Hi all, I was wondering if I might subscribe this list to gmane.org, so I (and everyone else) might view and search in with a newsreader? Also--is there any way to get it indexed by google, maybe along with the r-help list (or is it already but I haven't found it)? Thanks for your consideration W

Hi all, Is there any documentation on running R like one would run a shell or Perl script, with out/input directed appropriately, environment variable access, and command switch processing? I looked some, and even remembered to check the FAQ, but couldn't find anything. Thanks W

http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/b114/ This URL makes me think that if I just sit down and figure out how to compile OpenSolaris, I can try b114 now^h^h^h eventually ? I am really eager to try out the new quota support.. has someone already tried compiling it perhaps? How complicated is compiling osol compared to, say, NetBSD/FreeBSD, Linux etc ? (IRIX and its quickstarting??) --

Hi R-helpers, I have a data.frame with three columns (lots more reps though in each), like so: 'FOO' 'BAR' 'RESULT' 1 .01 75 1 .05 12 1.1 .01 100 1.1 .05 50 1.2 .01 75 1.2 .05 12 I am calling boxplot(RESULT ~ FOO:BAR, ...) This

Hi all, I dump the result of a long simulation, which I know has run to completion and returned a fairly complex list of lists of things. However, when I try to read it back in, I get the following error: > source ('../SIMULATIONS/run.1.R') Error in structure(list(do.extinction.runs, alpha = 1.8, delta.change = 0.005, : Object "do.extinction.runs" not found I think the

Hi all, I am using ACS micro data (PUMS) with one of the columns as a factor for the place of birth (POBPF). I would like to create a column (POBR) containing a rank corresponding to the place of the observation in the POBPF rankings. For example, if a person is from Oregon, Oregon is the most popular Place of Birth, so each person who came from Oregon should have a 1 in their POBR.

Hi all, I have searched but to know avail. Is there a way to get a line number when a function crashes? I am doing an edit->source->run cycle. Feel free to cc me as I subscribe to the list in digest. Thanks W

Hi all, I cannot get xtabs to count NA's like I expect. Below is a sample session, and note that the last two calls to xtabs() yield exactly the same thing. I am running R-2.5.0 -- if there was a bug in xtabs that got fixed, I would love to know about it. If there is a bug tracker somewhere, I can file it too. It isn't my fault that the server is so ridiculously outdated, but I would

Hi all Another question related to my earlier -- how might I get transparency to work with pyramid.plot in library(plotrix)? I can't figure it out, and the help page says it is there but doesn't give an example. Thanks!

Hello ZFSland, Is there any significance in the fact that the bandwidth/read figures for a simple cpio into a ZFS filesystem should be multiples of 21.3K (when non-zero) as follows? What could determine this figure? Do I need to read a manpage? ;-) Thanks... Sean. ----- [root at global:/36g2] # zpool iostat 3 capacity operations bandwidth pool used avail read
