I'm an R newbie and had a question about the read.xls function. I've heard that this is often not a reliable function to use for importing data. However, I have created numerous xls files which contain information about voter turnout and macroeconomic indicators in India. I'm writing a paper on the relationship between economic growth and voter turnout. This is the command I use: data <- read.xls("India.xls", header=TRUE) I get the following error message: Error: could not find function "read.xls&quo...

FWIW, here's a little data set I collected yesterday while working as an election judge in a precinct in Maryland: End DEM REP IND LIB OTH 8:00 40 12 7 1 0 9:00 30 7 3 0 0 10:00 35 13 6 0 0 11:00 31 10 8 0 0 12:00 23 4 2 0 0 1:00 23 5 0 0 0 2:00 20 8 1 0 0 3:00 24 5 6 0 0 4:00 15 6 4

Hi all, I am running a set of logistic regressions, where we want to use some weights, and I am not sure whether what I am doing is reasonable or not. The dependent variable is turnout in an election - i.e. survey respondents were asked whether or not they voted. The percentage of those who say they voted is much higher than the actual turnout, probably due both to non-response bias and social desirability issues. So now the suggestion is to weigh the cases, to weigh down the res...

...oing this, despite having copy/pasted the text from the manual (taking out hard breaks on the way). Moreover, I've had error messages for commands which I've previously had work fine. For instance, this from Zelig z.out <­ zelig(vote ~ race + educate, model = "logit", data = turnout) has at different times worked fine and thrown up the error message. Any help gratefully received.

Hello all, I am currently attempting to replicate data from a political science article that utilized a Markov chain transition model to predict voter turnout intention at time *t*; the data was separated into two different models based on whether prior intent was to vote or not to vote. The details don't really matter. Mostly I am curious how to run a Markov chain transition model in R, estimating different coefficients for two prior conditions....

For those that missed out joining the amazing turnout of ~70 people here in Vancouver for the mini-workshop I did on the 27th last month, I am making available the 30 slides I used for the presentation. The slides were used in conjunction with me demonstrating it via command line. Alot was learned by both attendees, and quite possibly even more so by...

Hi all, This is a quick reminder of our next monthly meeting (it seemed last month that sending out a reminder ended up getting much better turnout, so I'm giving it another try). This month's meeting is on Wednesday October 5, at 06:00 GMT. There should be a preliminary agenda up on http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/MonthlyMeeting200510 soon, feel free to add anything you want to talk about. The meeting is on irc: irc.freenode.ne...

Hello all, Is there a way to take the row names from my data.frame and have them imported to the regression results? At the moment, I my original data frame looks like this: / Riding name / Turnout / Margin / Expenditures 1 / Abbotsford 2 / . 3 / . 4 / .Willow I know how to set the row names for the original data frame to be the Riding name, but when I run the regression, the residuals, dfbetas, cook's d all lose those and are listed with the original row number. This does not pos...

We've completed round 2, and even counting a couple of people who wished to change their votes, Who's logo came up about 8 votes short and will be eliminated. Once again we had great turnout. Please vote for one of the remaining 3 logos. And designers, please remember no further editing. Also, regarding a suggestion to include the current logo, it was not submitted for consideration at any time, and the suggestion to include it didn't come up until the middle of the 2nd round....

We've passed the deadline for new entries in the logo contest. We had a very good turnout with 11 high quality designs submitted. We will now have 3 days of discussion and unlimited modifications to these 11 designs after which we'll have a poll lasting 3 days. Since this brings us to Christmas Eve there will be no time for runoff polls before the holidays in the event one desig...

Just a reminder. The community meeting is scheduled to happen in about 2.5 hours. Please add topics you want to discuss and any updates you have to the meeting notepad at [1]. ~kaushal [1]: https://bit.ly/gluster-community-meetings

Hey all! In the spirit of trying something new with the Community Meeting, this next one is changing a bit. I'm calling it 'Gluster Global Meetup' for lack of a better name (names welcomed) - and we're putting it on a video call. Same time as the community meeting, but a little different on the format. Here's a video call link for this that I'll add to the community

This is among the things we need to do when a user leaves, and it's a larger question than it sounds. Our Office has many servers, with a good number of fileservers for projects, with large filesystems (i.e. 10's of TB). Can anyone think of a way *other* than running what's probably a many-hour long find / -user on all our systems, which is really intensive, to find all the files own
