similar to: large version of the R symbol

Hi, Is there a way to open help files in the default web browser instead of a new R-window when I use the help-functions (like ?, help.search() etc.)? thanks!

Hello, we want to plot a proportional symbol map with ggplot. Symbols' area should have the same proportions as the scaled variable. Hereby an example we found on http://www.r-bloggers.com/bubble-chart-by-using-ggplot2/ . In this example we see the proportions of the symbols' area are different from the proportions of the scaled variable: crime <-

hi, I have a vector full of strings like; xy_100_ab xy_101_ab xy_102_ab xy_103_ab I want to seperate each string in three pieces and the separator should be the "_" at the end I want a data.frame like: column1 column2 column3 xy 100 ab xy 101 ab xy 102 ab xy 103 ab I tried strsplit but I couldn't figure out how to convert the list I get into a data.frame. I just

Hi, I need to aggregate rows of a data.frame by computing the mean for rows with the same factor-level on one factor-variable; here is the sample code: x <- data.frame(rep(letters,2), rnorm(52), rnorm(52), rnorm(52)) aggregate(x, list(x[,1]), mean) Now my problem is, that the actual data-set is much bigger (120 rows and approximately 100.000 columns) ? and it takes very very long

Hi, When using the aggregate function to aggregate a data.frame by one or more grouping variables I often have the problem, that I want the mean for some numeric variables but the unique value for factor variables. So for example in this data-frame: data <- data.frame(x = rnorm(10,1,2), group = c(rep(1,5), rep(2,5)), gender =c(rep('m',5), rep('f',5))) aggregate(data,

Hi, I have the following problem: I have two vectors: i <- c('a','c','g','h','b','d','f','k','l','e','i') j <- c('a', 'b', 'c') now I would like to generate a vector with the length of i that has zeros where i[x] != any element of j and 1 where i[x] == any element of j.

Hi, is there a function or an easy way to convert a variable with continuous values into a categorial variable (with x levels)? here is what I mean: I want to transform x: x <- c(3.2, 1.5, 6.8, 6.9, 8.5, 9.6, 1.1, 0.6) into a 'categorial'-variable with four levels so that I get: [1] 2 2 3 3 4 4 1 1 so each element is converted into its rank- value / categorial-value (in

Hi, I would like to fit lm-models to a matrix with 'samples' of a dependent variable (each row represents one sample of the dependent variable). The independent variable is a vector that stays the same: y <- c(1:10) x <- matrix(rnorm(5*10,0,1), 5, 10) now I would like to avoid looping over the rows, since my original matrix is much larger; for(t in 1:dim(x)[1]) {

Hi, I get a lot of error messages with this command, but I don't understand why; plot(c(),c(), xlim=c(1,10), ylim=c(0,10000), log="y") thanks for any help! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, is there a way to replicate a data.frame like you can replicate the entries of a vector (with the repeat-function)? I want to do this: x <- data.frame(x, x) (where x is a data.frame). but n times. And it should be as cpu / memory efficient as possible, since n is pretty big in my case. thanks for any suggestions!

Hi, I have multiple three dimensional arrays. Like this: x1 <- array(rnorm(1000, 1, 2), dim=c(10, 10, 10)) x2 <- array(rnorm(1000, 1, 2), dim=c(10, 10, 10)) x3 <- array(rnorm(1000, 1, 2), dim=c(10, 10, 10)) Now I would like to compute the mean for each corresponding cell. As a result I want to get one 3D array (10 x 10 x 10) in which at position x, y, z is the mean of the

Dear all here is my data called "rglp" structure(list(vzorek = structure(1:17, .Label = c("179/1/1", "179/2/1", "180/1", "181/1", "182/1", "183/1", "184/1", "185/1", "186/1", "187/1", "188/1", "189/1", "190/1", "191/1", "192/1",

hi, Is it possible to add special characters like the euro sign to a plot? thanks!

Hi, For another trainingset I get this error message, which again is rather cryptic to me: Setting default kernel parameters Error in array(0, c(n, p)) : 'dim' specifies too large an array RMate stopped at line 0 of selection Calls: rvm ... .local -> backsolve -> as.matrix -> chol -> diag -> array thanks for any suggestions!

Hi, is there a way to place text at the upper left corner (or another corner) of the plot? I want to place it really at the upper left corner of the whole plot (the file I get), not at the upper left corner of the plot-region. I tried text() and mtext(), and corner.label() of the plotrix package but it didn't work out. thanks!

Hi, I would like to cut a vector of values in parts. Each part should have an equal number of elements. for example: x <- (rnorm(500)^2) now I want 5 vectors each with 100 elements. The first vector should include the 100 lowest values of x and so on (so that the fifth vector contains the 100 highest values of x). thanks for any help!

Hi all, I've been working on improving R's optim() command, which does general purpose unconstrained optimization. Obviously, this is important for many statistics computations, such as maximum likelihood, method of moments, etc. I have focused my efforts of the BFGS method, mainly because it best matches my current projects. Here's a quick summary of what I've done: *

Dear R-group, is there a way to perform calculations that are defined in a string format? for example I have different variables: x1 <- 3 x2 <- 1 x4 <- 1 and a string-variable: do <- 'x1 + x2 + x3' Is there any way to perform what the variable 'do'-describes (just like the formula-element but more elemental)? Perhaps my idea to solve my problem is a little

hi, is it possible to convert latex code to pdf in R (like a latex-program would do it)? Is there a package that comes with this capabilities? My problem is that I want to generate tables automatically - and I can't use a latex editor at that computer ... Besides latex ... are there good ways to generate tables in R? thanks for any suggestions!

Dear R-users, This question might not be restricted to R, but I hope that some might have experienced similar problems and could help me. When using R, I usually work with a text-editor (textmate2) in which I prepare the script. To execute code, I then copy and paste it to an R-session running in the terminal/shell (on Mac OS). Unfortunately, when pasting too much code into the terminal (e.g.
