Dear Colleagues, Occasionally I deal with computer-generated (i.e., websurvey) data files that haven't quite worked correctly. When I try to read the data into R, I get something like this: Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, : line 26 did not have 648 elements ...is there any way to get R to tell me how many elements line 26 *did* have? That

Hello, I'm using a very large data set (n > 100,000 for 7 columns), for which I'm pretty happy dealing with pairwise-deleted correlations to populate my correlation table. E.g., a <- cor(cbind(col1, col2, col3),use="pairwise.complete.obs") ...however, I am interested in the number of cases used to compute each cell of the correlation table. I am unable to find such a

Dear Colleagues, I've been searching for a post or article or something which explains why having na.rm=FALSE or na.action=na.fail as the default is a better choice than TRUE or na.omit. I understand the basic argument: it does not make sense to average a nonexistance into an aggregate, and removing them implicitly leads to accidental pairwise deletion in some cases, and sum(x) /

Dear colleagues, Has anybody any experience using the sem package to fit structural equation models using a fitting function other than ML? I have heard tell that OLS may provide better estimates when using standardized matrices generated from small sample sizes, so I was interested in comparing the two for a few models. However, ML appears to be hard-coded into the source for sem...but maybe

Hello, I'm having the following questionable behavior: > summary(m) Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. 1 13000 26280 25890 38550 50910 > max(m) [1] 50912 > typeof(m) [1] "integer" > class(m) [1] "integer" ...it seems to me like max() and summary(m)[6] ought to return the same number. Am I doing something wrong? I'm

Hello, I have searched and failed for a program or script or method to conduct a power analysis for a MANOVA. My interest is a fairly simple case of 5 dependent variables and a single two-level categorical predictor (though the categories aren't balanced). If anybody happens to know of a script that will do this in R, I'd love to know of it! Otherwise, I'll see about writing one

Dear R community I have stored the results of arrays in a list consist of J-components (say 200 components). Each component containing same no of columns but may be different no of rows. e.g [[1]] [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [1,] 4 0 0 0 0 [2,] 4 3 4 0 0 [3,] 4 3 4 0 0 [4,] 4 3 0 0 0 [[2]] [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]

Dear colleagues, I run R on a few different machines, and view graphs and the like by tunnelling X through SSH to my local machine. This is useful for me because my local machine can't easily handle some of the data sets I work with. However, when an ssh connection dies, the tunnelled X session also dies, which breaks R's device connection, generating this error: > Error: X11

Full_Name: Mike Ulrich Version: 2.9 OS: Mac OSX Submission from: (NULL) (69.169.178.34) The help documentation for loadings() lists more then one parameter. The function call only expects one parameter. The digits, cutoff, and sort parameters are not used in the function. ## S3 method for class 'loadings': print(x, digits = 3, cutoff = 0.1, sort = FALSE, ...) ## S3 method for class

Hello, I need to perform a mixed-model (with nesting) MANCOVA, using Type III sums of squares. I know how to perform each of these types of tests individually, but I am not sure if performing a mixed-model MANCOVA is possible. Please let me know.

Hi, I have successfully completed a PCA and printed the loadings, however, numerous values are blank. I know that this means the values are just very small but not equal to zero. Is there a way to print out the loadings, including the very small values, I need them for graphing purposes. Thanks, Xan [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I'm attempting to compile R 2.7.0 on my G5, which is running OSX 10.5.2. Yes, I know there is a precompiled binary, but my experience has shown that if I hand-compile ATLAS on my machine and then link R against it when compiling, R runs faster, hence me compiling it myself. Anyway, I have this set of errors: checking X11/Intrinsic.h usability... no checking X11/Intrinsic.h presence...

Hello, I frequently have to export a large quantity of data from some source (for example, a database, or a hand-written perl script) and then read it into R. This occasionally takes a lot of time; I'm usually using read.table("filename",comment.char="",quote="") to read the data once it is written to disk. However, I *know* that the program that generates

Adam, It seems that your attachment didn't make it through. That aside, my experience with strange errors like those (random type not implemented ones) has been that you may be looking at a memory problem on you machine. Given that you can't replicate on another platform (and the .csv file didn't come through), I would think it wise to start there. My 2c. And I love bacon too :)

Dear Colleagues, Apologies for a long email to ask what I feel may be a very simple question; I figure it's better to overspecify my situation. I was asked a question, recently, by a colleague in my department about pre-aggregating variables, i.e., computing the mean of defined subsets of a data frame. Naturally, I thought of the 'by' and 'tapply' functions, as

In comparing the results of princomp and prcomp I find: 1. The reported standard deviations are similar but about 1% from each other, which seems well above round-off error. 2. princomp returns what I understand are variances and cumulative variances accounted for by each principal component which are all equal. "SS loadings" is always 1. 3. Same happens

Hi When I call for the loadings of my plsr using the command, x <- loadings(BHPLS1) my loadings contain variable names rather than numbers. >str(x) loadings [1:94727, 1:10] -0.00113 -0.03001 -0.00059 -0.00734 -0.02969 ... - attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 2 ..$ : chr [1:94727] "PCIList1" "PCIList2" "PCIList3" "PCIList4" ... ..$ : chr

hi, I have two questions: #first (SPSS vs. R): I just compared the output of different PCA routines in R (pca, prcomp, princomp) with results from SPSS. the loadings of the variables differ vastly! in SPSS the variables load constantly higher than in R. I made sure that both progr. use the correlation matrix as basis. I found the same problem with rotated values (varimax rotation and rtex=T
