Hello all, I've got a large set of data consisting of 2 continuous numerical variables, and 2 factors. I'm trying to write a function that will draw scatter plots of the 2 numerical variables for various combinations of the factors. The problem is that my function doesn't seem to understand what I want it to do even though the command works fine outside the function. Here is

Can you please tell me the minimum system spec for R on a windows machine?

Dear r-help, Sleep-deprivation from having 2 youngsters under 2 around the house is fuzzing my brain, so please be gentle if the answer to this query is obvious! In the example below, I'm trying to use grid.rect to add grey rectangles to the panels of a lattice plot to indicate which months spawning occurred of a (very cute) native Tasmanian fish. The fish in the two lakes spawned at

I have a meta-analysis dataset which I would like to analyze as a mixed model, where the y-variable is a measure of effect size, the random effect is the study from which the effect size was extracted, and the fixed effect is a categorical explanatory variable. The complication is that we often have multiple estimates of effect size from a single study (e.g. the experiment was repeated in

Dear R users I would like to simulate underdispersed Poisson and binomial distributions somehow. I know you can do this for overdispersed counterparts - using rnbinom() for Poisson and rbetabinom() for binomial. Could anyone share functions to do this? Or please share some tips for modifying existing functions to achieve this. Thank you very much for your help and time Shinichi

I am attempting to plot frequency of occurrence against (calendar) time. As the output is to be produced as a Powerpoint picture on a dark background I wish to make the plot output yellow > par(col="yellow", col.axis="yellow", col.lab="yellow", col.main="yellow") > plot(t2, t1, ylim=c(0,40), main="Episynlestes run 2",

All R experts, How do I fit a dynamic Random effects model with a binary dependent variable in R Thanks JCM [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

My question concerns the logic behind hypothesis tests for fixed-effect terms in models fitted with lme. Suppose the levels of Subj indicate a grouping structure (k subjects) and Trt is a two-level factor (two treatments) for which there are several (n) responses y from each treatment and subject combination. If one suspects a subject by treatment interaction, either of the following models seem

Dear List, I am trying to do model averaging for a negative binomial model using the package AICcmodavg. I need to use glm() since the package does not accept glm.nb() models. I can get glm() to work if I first run glm.nb and take theta from that model, but is there a simpler way to estimate theta for the glm model? The two models are: mod.nb<-glm.nb(mantas~site,data=mydata)

Not an R question directly, but has anyone got a method for placing a moderately large number of (near) equi-spaced points on a sphere? I have a nasty feeling platonic solids are needed for exact solutions and I'm thinking of samplings involving around 200 - 1000 regularly-spaced points, Thanks, Richard Rowe Richard Rowe Senior Lecturer Department of Zoology and Tropical Ecology, James

Dear List, I am having problems converting a file with fractional seconds to class POSIXct. I have set my options to include digits.secs and my format to just time, but my output is the current date with my time lacking the fractions of a second. For example: options(digits.secs=3) t<-c("06:00:00.100","06:00:01.231") myt<-as.POSIXct(t,format="%H:%M:%S")

with the following simple data frame dd = structure(list(z = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L ), .Label = c("a", "b"), class = "factor"), x = c(0.3, 0.2, 0.1, 0, 0, 0, 0.2, 0.3)), .Names = c("z", "x"), row.names = c(NA, -8L), class = "data.frame") I would like know if it's possible to use model.matrix() to construct the

Good day to the R community, I am interested to run the plot.count() function in the "untb" package. My script is as follows:- > library(untb) > Community1 <- > structure(c(371,167,119,78,74,53,50,31,28,25,20,19,19,17,13,12,12,10, > 9,9,8,8,7,7,7,7,6,6,6,6,5,5,5,5,4,4,4,3,3,3,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,1,1, > 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1), .Dim = 60, .Dimnames =

Dear List, Is there a color palette avaliable similar to what is used in satellite ocean color imagery? I.e. a gradient with blue on one end and red on the other, with yellow in the middle? I have tried topo.colors(n) but that comes out more yellow on the end. I am looking for something similar to what is found on the CoastWatch web page:

the version 2 parser thinks I have unnecessary braces, but I can't find any. False positive or am I missing something? If a false positive, is there any way to work around the warning? * checking Rd files against version 2 parser ... WARNING Warning: ./man/dbetabinom.Rd:32-34: Unnecessary braces at ?{p(x) = % (C(N,x)*Beta(N-x+theta*(1-p),x+theta*p))/% Beta(theta*(1-p),theta*p)}?

Dear List, I would like to create several graphs of similar data. I have x and y values for several different individuals (in this case fish). I would like to plot the x and y values for each fish separately. I can do it using a for loop, but I think I should be using "apply". Please let me know what I am doing wrong, or if there is a "better" way to do this. What I have

I think this was asked recently but I can't find the item. Is it possible to find the colour at a point on a graphics page? I want to estimate the area of a complex shape by colouring it then random sampling from an enclosing box ...

Hi Folks, On Windows XP, R 2.5.0. After reading the Installation for Windows and Windows FAQs, I cannot resolve this. I set file types so that Rgui.exe will open .r files. When I try to open a .r file by double-clicking, R begins to launch, but I get an error message saying "Argument 'C:\Documents and Settings\Zoology\My Documents\trial.r' _ignored_" I click OK, and then R

Dear List, I am wanting to produce a multiple line plot, and know I can do it with matplot but can't get my data in the format I need. I have a dataframe with three columns; individuals ID, x, and y. I have tried split() but it gives me a list of matrices, which is closer but not quite what I need. For example: id<-rep(seq(1,5,1),length.out=100) x<-rnorm(100,5,1)
