Hi, I currently following some introductory material "Data mining with R", which was highly reccommended to me (its really great!). During my studies I tried to run a given function to identify and substitute unknown values. Seemingly, running this function (page 57) did not work and gives me an error message. It would be very easy just to copy and paste this function to ask for

Hi, I am fairly new to GNU R ! At the moment I am doing an intensive learning on the basics of GNU R-1.91, especially graphics like plots and alike, by reading the introductory docs! Well, except some occasional glitches (X11 output errors) everything seems to be fine, thanks to developers for this fine program! But there is a slight problem with the size of fonts in graphics, i.e. its very

Hello, first, big thank you to the developers of R, the release of recent version is very nice.!
