...enlighten me as to why the following happens? > -2.7^8.6 [1] -5125.407 > p<- -2.7 > q<- 8.6 > p^q [1] NaN R seems perfectly able to calculate -2.7^8.6, but fails when the exact same values are assigned to variables and then the computation is repeated. Thanks in advance for any suggetsions. Kris.

...have been trying to use the "summarize" function within the Hmisc library but I am getting the following error "Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : numeric 'envir' arg not of length one In addition: Warning message: no finite arguments to max; returning -Inf". Any suggetsions on how I can fix this would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards Andrew test <- read.table("test.csv", header=TRUE, sep=",") #function to calculate mean of "top" elements within a plot > g<-function(y) { + top_no <-max(y$top) + weight <- with(y,as.num...

Hi r-users, I would like to solve system of nonlinear equation using BBsolve function and below is my code.  I have 4 parameters and I have 4 eqns. mgf_gammasum <- function(p) { t  <- rep(NA, length(p)) mn <- 142.36 vr <- 9335.69 sk <- 0.8139635 kur <- 3.252591 rh  <- 0.896 # cumulants k1 <- p[1]*(p[2]+p[3]) k2 <- p[1]*(2*p[2]*p[3]*p[4] +p[2]^2+p[3]^2) k3 <-

I''ve been banging my head against the wall trying to update a table (add/delete rows) using Ajax. It seems simple enough but just doesn''t work for me. I can get it to work using DIVs instead of a table, but doing the layout with DIVs is much more cumbersome and I know it works for others with a table (though I haven''t been able to find an exact example code anywhere).
