similar to: How to set up a function for "Central Limit Theorem"

Dear All I am totally new to R and I would like to know whether R is able and appropriate to illustrate to my students the Central Limit Theorem, using for instance 100 independent variables with uniform distribution and showing that their sum is a variable with an approximated normal distribution. Thanks in advance, Paul

Hi, Is there a way to simulate a population with R and pull out m samples, each with n values for calculating m means? I need that kind of data to plot a graphic, demonstrating the central limit theorem and I don't know how to begin. So, perhaps someone can give me some tips and hints how to start and which functions to use. thanks for any help, joerg

In complex analysis, Cauchy's integral theorem states (loosely speaking) that the path integral of any entire differentiable function, around any closed curve, is zero. I would like to see this numerically, using R (and indeed I would like to use the residue theorem as well). Has anyone coded up path integration? -- Robin Hankin Uncertainty Analyst Southampton Oceanography Centre

I want to understand ANOVA better. But a few textbook that I have do not describe Cochran's Theorem in details. Could somebody recommend a book for me?

Hello to the R people, within ward clustering the distance calculated to decide the clustering of 2 subsets (h1 and h2) is the variation of inertia : d(h1,h2)=I(h1Uh2)-I(h1)-I(h2); i've been said that a way to calculate faster this d(h1,h2) is using the huygens theorem decomposing the inertia into "the inertia to the centroid + the distance to an axe" (that's my version ...). My

Hello everyone. Just have a question , cant figure out how to make this histogram. I have this table, that i stored in a variable name new.data2.

Greetings, R-ians: I would like to know which version or R was used to create a given package. I think I remember seeing that topic discussed recently but cannot find it among my notes. Can anyone tell me how to determine which version of R created a package? Thanks. Charles Annis, P.E. <mailto:Charles.Annis@StatisticalEngineering.com> Charles.Annis@StatisticalEngineering.com

Greetings R-ians: I know what doesn?t work but I don?t know why, nor how to remedy things. I have a character string containing "." which I want to replace with " " gsub(".", " ", file.label) replaces the every character with a blank. However gsub(".xls", " ", file.label) replaces ".xls" with a blank as expected. It appears

R-ians: After some effort I coerced my code to do what I want but my syntax is a kludge. Suggestions on more elegant syntax? par <- NIM.results$par do.call("Draw.NIM.POD.curve", list(par[1], par[2], par[3], par[4], par[5], a.hat.decision, .... et cetera ... It seems that I should be able to avoid defining the variable "par" and then specifying each of its elements,

Greetings R-ians: Searching the Searchable Mail Archives I discovered that ctrl L will clear the Rgui screen, which is what I'd like to do from a print (or some similar) statement. Is there a mechanism to use the ctrl L clear-screen sequence in a script, or print statement? Thanks for your counsel. Charles Annis, P.E.

Greetings, R-ians: I'm using R 2.3.1 on WindowsXP. I need to find the name of a file at the end of a sting that contains the path + file, with the problematic "\\" as separators.

Dear R Helpers: I am trying to annotate a plot. The following code snippet works, but it is kind of a kludge since it adds the partial derivative symbols after creating the plotmath frac(). Is there a more elegant way to write a partial derivative? dev.off() plot(NA, xlim=c(-3,3), ylim=c(0,1.6), xlab="", ylab="", tck=-0.015) text(1.6, 1, expression(paste("slope =

Dear R-ians: I'm running R2.9.2 on a 6 year old Windows XP DELL with 2 Gig RAM and a 3MHz Pentium 4 chip. I've written a package using the User Menus Under Windows commands (winMenuAdd, etc). It works very well. I have 6 test cases and running any one of them requires many selections form the menus and some keyboard entry, and it takes me hours to exercise them all to see

Greetings: I'm running R2.6.2 on a WinXP DELL box with 2 gig RAM. I have created a new glm link function to be used with family = binomial. The function works (although any suggested improvements would be welcome), logit.FC <- function(POD.floor = 0, POD.ceiling =1) { if (POD.floor < 0 | POD.floor > 1) stop ("POD.floor must be between zero and one.") if

Greetings R-wizards: For historical reasons I have filenames with the character "?" and have successfully used "\u00e2" in its place, with the hoped-for result on all my on-screen plots. However since R2.7.0 I have trouble with savePlot() when the file name includes that character as it does in this example: savePlot(paste("diagnostic ? vs a ", file.label,

Greetings, Amigos: I have been trying without success to convert a character string, > repeated.measures.columns [1] "3,6,10" into c(3,6,10) for subsequent use. as.numeric(repeated.measures.columns) doesn't work (likely because of the commas) [1] NA Warning message: NAs introduced by coercion I've tried many things including strsplit(repeated.measures.columns, split =

Greetings: This should be easy but it isn't. I have a home-brew package that works fine, with compiled html help pages, all 150 of them. I want to make a similar package but not from scratch since only a half-dozen routines are changed. So I created a new directory, copied the old package into it and changed the name to newSTUFF. I changed the names of all help pages too, as weill

I?ve been using this routine for several years. I?m sorry, I don?t remember where I got it. It works as it should, viz. it blanks the R console. But it requires package rcom and now that requires rscproxy. cls <- function () { require(rcom) wsh <- comCreateObject("Wscript.Shell") comInvoke(wsh, "SendKeys", "\f") invisible(wsh) } > cls()
