Hi, I ran into an odd problem with the print command for R-2.0 on a windows machine. The icelandic character thorn (??,??) which is included in in the Latin-1 character set [iso/8859-1 char# 222 (upper case) and #254 (lower case)] prints out incorrectly. Instead of getting the correct character I get the octal codes for upper and lower case thorn (\336 or \376). This only happens on a windows machine, but not...

...ur=grp)) + geom_boxplot() + geom_point(aes(ymax=max(y)), position = position_dodge(width=.75)) but that did not really help, as all points are now dodged and I just want to have a fixed offset for each subgroup of points such that the boxplot and the points are aligned. Any ideas? Kind Regards, Thorn Thaler Mathematician Applied Mathematics Nestec Ltd, Nestl? Research Center PO Box 44 CH-1000 Lausanne 26 Phone: +41 21 785 8220 Fax: +41 21 785 9486

Hey all, It's a thorn in my side, I had monkey island 3 running in wine, but this one just doesn't cooperate. The setup program exits with a problem copying install files (error 112, if it means anything). If anyone has got it working, let me know. Thanks

Appreciate the info, it’s good to know.

...found. How can I circumvent this problem? I think I've to provide somehow an environment to "predict" holding the binding for the variable "form", such that predict can resolve the variable, but I've no clue how to do this. Help is very much appreciated.

I'm trying to develop a linear model for crop productivity based on variables published as part of the SSURGO database released by the USDA. My default is to just run lm() with continuous predictor variables as numeric, and discrete predictor variables as factors, but some of the discrete variables are ordinal (e.g. drainage class, which ranges from excessively drained to excessively poorly

...he same thing without having to define an additional variable? Something like z <- list(a=1, b=a) or even z <- list(a=b=1)? Both commands don't work of course, but I'm just curious whether this is possible in principle (a rather academic question I've to admit) Thanks + BR, Thorn Thaler Applied Mathematics Group Nestl?

...ottleneck lies? - is 'lapply' always superior to a loop in terms of execution time? - are there any 'evil' commands that should be avoided in a loop, for they slow down the computation? - are there any good books, tutorials about how to profile R code efficiently? TIA 4 ur help, Thorn

...thing like f <- function(x,y) x+y f(2, x) # should give 4 The problem is of course that x is only known inside the function. Of course I could specify something like f(z<-2,z) but I'm just curious whether it is possible to use a fancy combination of eval, substitute or quote ;) BR, thorn

...e outlined approach does not work as expected, and where my mistake lies? (that means in particular I am not asking for a solution of how to get the thing done - there are plenty of alternatives - but instead to understand why this very approach does not work) Thanks for your help!
