Hi, I've got a matrix, Z, of values representing (as it happens) optical power at each pixel location. Since I know in advance I've got a single, convex peak, I would like to do a 2D parabolic fit of the form Z = poly((x+y),2) where x and y are the x,y coordinates of each pixel (or equivalently, the row, column numbers). Is there an R function that lets me easily implement that?

Dear R-users, I am trying to reshape the DF "dat2" in the "long" format, but can't figure out how to use the "split"-option: > dat2 a.1995.z b.1995.z a.1996.z var 1 100.00000 100.00000 100.00000 Neue Anlagen insgesamt 2 40.09904 23.60890 40.88960 Neue Ausr??stungen 3 59.90096 76.39110 59.11040 Neue Bauten This

Hi all, Does anybody know the easiest way to import excel data into R? I copied and pasted the excel data into a txt file, and tried read.table, but R reported that Error in read.table("data_support.txt", sep = " ", header = T) : more columns than column names Thanks! Ling
