Dear all, [Note: This was originally posted over at Stack Overflow, but it was suggested that the problem may be an error in R on Windows, so I have cross posted over here too. ref: http://goo.gl/pd54D) The following, when copied and pasted directly into R works fine: > character_test <- function() print("R??????GNU S????????????????????????????????????...") >

(I am reposting this question after a few months without a solution...) Hi all, I am trying to read a .txt file, with Hebrew column names, but without success. I uploaded an example file to: http://www.talgalili.com/files/aa.txt And tried the command: read.table("http://www.talgalili.com/files/aa.txt", header = T, sep = "\t") This returns me with: X.....ª X...ª......

Hi All, I am running R 2.6.0 on an Ubuntu 8.04 with Rserve on a machine. I send R commands from a Windows computer to the R machine and a few commands require the creation of plots on png devices. I often get the following error: Error in X11(paste("png::", filename, sep = ""), width, height, pointsize, : unable to start device PNG I've solved this error at times by

Hello All, I am trying to carry out variable reduction. I do not have information about the dependent variable, and have only the X variables as it were. In selecting variables I wish to keep, I have considered the following criteria. 1) Percentage of missing value in each column/variable 2) Variance of each variable, with a cut-off value. I recently came across Weka and found that there is an

Hi UseRs, I recently started working with the RGtk2 library. The documentation is comprehensive and I've tried learning from the examples in most Gtk tutorials (which have C code). This is a little problematic, but has helped quite a bit in getting me started. I would like to create a GUI for file selection, which then displays the column names from the selected file, and provides the user

Hello R List, I seem to have a peculiar problem. When using time series data, I get the following error when running the acf and pacf function. Using the function acf(dtxts,plot= TRUE,xaxt = "n",col="red",na.action = na.omit) (where dtxts is a time series object created with package "xts" ) results in the error below. Error in na.omit.ts(as.ts(x)) : time series

Greetings, I have just installed R and Rserv on my W2k laptop for testing. I intend to use it for an upcoming project. The Rserv documentation states that the configuration file should be /etc/Rserv.conf. I have created such a file in <R installation path>\etc\RServ.conf but R doesn't seem to read it. Does anyone know where I should put Rserv.conf on Windows ? Many thanks. Regards,

Hi useRs, I would like to know what R users are employing to get their images/plots created in R, into Excel sheets. I am aware of the various packages (xlsReadWrite, RODBC) to get data frames into R, but I would like to copy images too. Thank you for any help in solving this problem. Regards, Harsh Singhal

Dear R users, I've installed Rserve for R version 2.11.0 on x64 Windows 7. I've added the Rserve_d and Rserve files to the /bin/ folder where the R.exe is installed in the program files. I have also created an Rserv.cfg file that contains the following text: remote enable auth disable plaintext disable fileio enable when I run "R CMD Rserve_d" from the dos prompt I

Hi All, I am trying to assemble a system that will allow me to work with large datasets (45-50 million rows, 300-400 columns) possibly amounting to 10GB + in size. I am aware that R 64 bit implementations on Linux boxes are suitable for such an exercise but I am looking for configurations that R users out there may have used in creating a high-end R system. Due to a lot of apprehensions that SAS

Hi List, I am trying to leverage my knowledge of R in trying to use it for tasks that may not make R the best choice for these tasks. I wish to automate a web scraping task, which requires a multi-step procedure: 1) log in to a website 2) Go to a particular page 3) From the drop down menu, click on a particular link 4) From the tabulated data presented, choose relevant information based on a

Hi R users, I request members of the R community to consider filling a short survey regarding the use of R. The survey can be found at http://goo.gl/jw1ig Please accept my apologies for posting here for a non-technical reason. The data collected will be suitably analyzed and I'll post a link to the results in the coming weeks. Thank you all for your interest and for sharing your R usage

Hello useRs, I have a problem at hand which I'd think is fairly common amongst groups were R is being adopted for Analytics in place of SAS. Users would like to obtain results for logistic regression in R that they have become accustomed to in SAS. Towards this end, I was able to propose the Design package in R which contains many functions to extract the various metrics that SAS reports.

HI R users, I would appreciate information/examples/suggestions on building GUIs for R applications. I am currently working on a project that would require the following functionalities : 1) Display a window to the user. Provide a function to scan local drive and choose dataset file. 2) Display the column names for the user to choose the dependent variable and the independent variables. 3) Fit

Hi R users, I apologize for a seemingly trivial question, but I felt this forum would be the best place to seek advice. I have been an R user for a year now, but I am limited to using R and its various contributed packages. I strongly feel that users of a free and open source software tool must eventually provide development expertise. I am aware of the extensive documentation available on the

I have successfully installed Rserv (http://stats.math.uni-augsburg.de/Rserve) on Mac OS, but I have trouble on two different linux platforms.

Hell R-list, At the cost of sounding far-fetched and almost incredulous, I would like to know if any R user is remotely considering the use of R on Mobile devices, and Android in particular. I really do not have an idea of the kind of definite incentives in terms of using R on Android, but having an analytical engine on a mobile phone would allow for micro statistics to be collected from the log
