Hi R-help, I posted about this late yesterday but got no response. I may have put TMI in the original request. Not to mention I couldn't cut and paste yesterday because I was working R off a non-network computer while asking for help on a network computer. Essentially, I have this user-defined function: test <- function(X){ chisq <- svychisq(~X

I'm failing to understand how getrusage() works, which is a bit perplexing, because it doesn't seem like it would be terribly complicated. I've attached the code. My aim is to verify that I can use getrusage() to do (admittedly crude) instrumentation of which functions in my program are allocating lots of memory[1]. So I figure I can call getrusage() at various points and look at

Hi wizards, I need to know how can I generate this numbers I have n numbers N1,N2 , Nn , but Nn = 1- sum(N1+N2+...+Nn-1) and sum(N1+N2+..Nn)=1 and N1,N2,..Nn with 0<N<1 . Does somebody know how to generate it ? Some distribution or algorithm. Thanks in advance. -- Web Page http://www.geocities.com/ricardo_rios_sv/index.html

I'd like to thank John Fox and Chuck Cleland for their help in resovling this issue. It turned out to be something simple, but perhaps others have had similar problems In my original data frame, I had 4 categories of race/ethnicity. One of the categories (other) was very small, and not similar to any of the other three categories, so I created a new data frame deleting those people.

Hi Everyone, I have a very long list of data-points (+2300) and i know from my histogram that there are outliers which are affecting my mean. I was wondering if anyone on here knows a way i can quickly get R to calculate and remove data which is 3 standard deviations from the mean? I am hoping this will tidy my data and give me a repeatable method of tidying for future data collection.

I am debugging some code and found a function that returns and error most of the time. I have issolated the problem to when it raises an argument to the 1/3 power but for the life of me I can not figure out why it is not working. i have gone through the FAQs and have found nothing (not to say I might have missed something). I am highly embarrased with my inability find the problem (my face is

Dear community, I've check it while working, but just to reassure myself. Let's say we have 2 models: model1 <- lm(vdep ~ log(v1) + v2 + v3 + I(v4^2) , data = mydata) model2 <- lm(vdep ~ log(v1) + v2 + v3 + v4^2, data = mydata) So in model1 you really square v4; and in model2, v4*^2 *doesn't do anything, does it? Model2 could be rewritten: model2b <- lm(vdep ~

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

Dear R users, Can anyone please tell me how to generate a large number of samples in R, given certain distribution and size. For example, if I want to generate 1000 samples of size n=100, with a N(0,1) distribution, how should I proceed? (Since I dont want to do "rnorm(100,0,1)" in R for 1000 times) Thanks for help Debbie

I've rolled up R-2.12.0.tar.gz a short while ago. This is a development release which contains a number of new features. Also, a number of mostly minor bugs have been fixed. See the full list of changes below. You can get it from http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-2/R-2.12.0.tar.gz or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site nearer to you. Binaries for various platforms will appear in
