I'm solving the following problem: Create a variable (column) in the ?wf? dataframe named ?Zone? that takes value of ?tropic? if Latitude is less than or equal to 30, or ?non-tropic? for Latitude greater than 30. Show you Zone variable. Latitude is a column of my dataframe. I don't know the sintaxis and the process to create the column. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello everybody, On April 24th to 27th the biggest Ruby Conference on the Northeast of Brazil will be happening, Abril Pro Ruby <http://abrilproruby.com/>. We would like to invite you to be part of the event and share you experiences with great rubists from all over the world in Porto de Galinhas, very close to Recife. Speakers from everywhere are already confirmed to the event. Take a

I am working with transition matrices of sequences of animal behaviours. What I would like to do is parse the original matrices, adjusting row/column order so that the matrix has its main values in blocks surrounding the diagonal. This would cause behaviours involved in functional groupings (e.g. grooming, resting, foraging etc) to appear as blocks. This can be done manually by applying

I am having problems with the 'if' syntax. I have an n x 4 matrix, X say. The first two columns hold x, y values and I am attempting to fill the second two columns with the quadrant in which the datapoint (x, y) is and with the heading angle. So I have two problems 1) how to do this elegantly (at which I've failed as I can't seem to vectorize the problem) and 2) how to

Dear all, I'm trying to estimate the parameters of a special case of a poisson model, where the specified equation has an integral and several fixed parameters. I think that the MLE command in STATS4 package could be a good choice, but it's a little complicated. I've got some problems with the offset and I don't understand some of the functions. Do you know where can I find some

Hi everyone I have the following problem: My dataframe has 3 variables: ID, Year and and an outcome variable. The dataframe contains repeated measurements because the subjects filled out a questionnaire every year. The time span covers 2 years. Now I want to check if there is a significant change in the outcome over the 2 years with a paired wilcox.test. The problem: Not every subject

I'm trying to use the biological female and male signs in R2.5.1 under Windows XP. I can access and insert these symbols using word-processors. In general these should be available as \u2640 and \u2642 but I can't make them happen in R using (say) text(5,5, "\u2640") message "invalid \uxxxx sequence" I've replaced Arial with Arial unicode MS in Rdevga and

Dear R users, I am trying to do the forest plot follow the function given on web. However, the order of the tests has been sorted alphabetically. I would prefer keeping the order as data frame input so that I can group and compare (from the graph) the target immune NS1, IgG and IgM (where SD, BioRad, Pb etc are the brand names) > d x y ylo yhi SD.NS1

I am writing a function where the arguments are names of objects or variable names in a data frame. To convert the strings to the objects I am using eval(parse(text=name)): f.graph.two.vbs<-function(dataname,v1){ val<-paste(dataname,v1,sep="$") val<-eval(parse(text=val)) val } However running this returns an error:

...ng=CRS("+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84")) and then reprojecting it to Berhmann with: spPointReprj=spTransform(Data,CRS("+proj=cea +lon_0=0 +lat_ts=30 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +ellps=WGS84")) If I put the two outputs of the reprojections in the same map, they are off by few meters in the tropics by up to 40km in the poles. I decided to investigate how the reprojections are done and my calculations are different from both R and ArcGis: First, I calculated the radious of the Earth in two different ways: =Re * (1 - e^2)/ (1 - e^2 *SIN(RADIANS(Latitude))^2)^(3/2) =Re * SQRT(1 - e^2) / (1 -...

Hi, everyone, I haven't found anything similar in the forum, so here's my problem (I'm no expert in R nor statistics): I have a data set of 59.000 cases with 9 variables each (fractional coverage of 9 different plant types, such as deciduous broad-leaved temperate trees or evergreen tropical trees etc.), which was generated by a vegetation model. In order to evaluate the quality of

Sorry for re-posting the question, I did not get any reply. Kindly reply please if any one can. ### Hello R users, I have a montly time series over a several year period. It's easy to compute a monthly climatology (12 values), Now, I would like to calculate the corresponding standard deviation, ie the 12 values calculated from the january values, february values, etc. What's the best way

Dear All, The Decision and Policy Analysis (DAPA) program of the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), a not-for-profit agriculture, biodiversity and ecosystems research center, supported by the Consultative Group of International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), with headquarters in Cali, Colombia is looking for a visiting researcher to work on various modeling projects, primarily

Dear all, I have a very basic question: how does the logLik function work for poisson models? Example: I simulate 20 observations from a Poisson distribution with mean 800. y <- rpois(20,800) model <- glm(y ~ 1, family=poisson()) logLik(model) I would like to know what's the exact formula the function logLik uses. I looked at ?extractAIC but I cannot sort it out. Can you please

Dear R-users: How does one calculate in R the odds ratios for a CATEGORICAL predictor variable that has 4 levels. I see r-help inquiries regarding odds ratios for what looked like a continuous predictor variable. I was wondering how to get the pairwise odds ratios for comparisons of levels of a categorical predictor variable. I can't seem to get the correct output using: >

Dear colleagues, I'm an epidemiologist with no background in programming and just started using R a few weeks ago. I am working on the epidemiology of African sleeping sickness, and am trying to use R to perform a Monte Carlo Markov Chain analysis to estimate three unknown parameters within a model of African sleeping sickness case detection that is mainly informed by actual field programme

Dear friends, I am studying the spatial distribution of trees in a tropical swamp forest in Brazil, and the spatial association between the trees and other forest and non forest elements. These are point pattern analysis of mapped data, preferentially done with the L function of Ripley. I have recently discovererd the R-project and would like to know whether it is possible to do these

Dear R-users, I've just installed the last version of R (2.10.0) in Windows and found a completely new version of the help pages. Basically, they now appear as a simple (even if slightly embellished) text file. I tried to install it with a customized startup and realized that the old CHM files (the default for Windows up to 2.9.2) are not included anymore as a possible choice. I don't
