Dear R users, People who uses vim in Linux/Unix may be interested in checking the plugin for R that I'm developing: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2628 The plugin includes omni completion for R objects, code indentation and communication with R running in a terminal emulator (xterm or gnome-terminal). This last feature was already present in Johannes Ranke's plugin.

Dear R users, The author of Tinn-R (Jose Claudio Faria) now is co-author of Vim-R-plugin2, a plugin that makes it possible to send commands from the Vim text editor to R. We added many new key bindings, restructured the menu and created new Tool Bar buttons. The new version is available at: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2628 NOTES: (1) Some old key binding changed,

Hello, How can I make xtable print a comma as decimal separator? Setting the option OutDec isn't enough for xtable: library(xtable) options(OutDec = ",") x <- c(1.1, 1.2, 1.3) y <- c(2.3, 2.2, 2.1) d <- data.frame(x, y) d print(xtable(d)) Thanks! Jakson Aquino

Dear All, Is there some way of drawing a boxplot, with R, when one does not have the original continuous data, but only the data grouped in classes? The function boxplot() can only deal with original data. Thanks in advance, Paul

Hi all, I wonder if there is a way to create a matrix with two (or even more) column/row names? Thank you very much. Have a nice day. -- ??? Hesen Peng http://hesen.peng.googlepages.com/

Dear friends - I'm using Tinn-R in Windows and find it OK. My son is running MacOS and is just starting using R and I know nothing about MacOS and R but we seem to have difficulties in finding something similar to Tinn for MaC. What are your suggestions? Thanks a lot! Troels Ring, MD Aalborg, Denmark

I am using read.table to import a text file within R.   There are several "errors" in my text file.  An "extra" quotation mark has inadvertently been included within a few text fields.   e.g. for a pipe (|) delimited text file, I have something similar to this:   1|7|30| "dog" 2|6|25| ""cat" 3|4|20|"" 4|5| 56| "mouse" 5|3|56|

My Dear R buddies, I'm feeling ashamed that I've been running my R program on some servers for a while but do not know exactly how R is working. The servers are chained together using Sun Grid Engine. Each node has 8 quad-core CPUs. I wonder how many cores and CPUs are used by a simple single-thread R program. Thanks a lot. Best wishes, -- ??? Hesen Peng

Hey my R buddies, I installed the "snow" and "rpvm" package on my Lenovo Thinkpad T400 today. The experiment below gave me a surprise. The time consumed by serial processing was several times larger than that taken by parallel processing. I'm very curious how this happened. Thank you very much. > library(snow) > > cc <- makePVMcluster(2) > > temp <-

Dear R buddies, This weekend I became interested in solving Google Code Jam problems using R. I guess R may work very well in this kind of contests but the input of file has been a problem for me. Take this case for example (http://code.google.com/codejam/contest/dashboard?c=agdjb2RlamFtchALEghjb250ZXN0cxjRzBQM), the files are usually of the form: A(number of lines for group 1) a11 a12 a13 a21

Hi my R buddies, I'm trying to solve a specific group of convex optimization in R. The admissible region is the inside and surface of a multi-dimensional eclipse area and the goal function is the sum of absolution values of the variables. Could any one please tell me whether there's a package in R to do this? Thank you very much, Best wishes, -- ??? Hesen Peng

Hello my R buddies, I'm trying to generate a bivariate data.frame with the elements of first row greater than the second row. The more complicated method that I can think of is: n <- 10 temp <- expand.grid(1:n,1:n) temp<-temp[temp[,1]>temp[,2],] However, I guess there must be some easier way of doing this. Besides, if inequality condition is applied at the very

Anyone using or has access to ParallelR? I was looking at the page and found nothing really useful! http://www.revolution-computing.com/sitegenius/topic.php?id=195 I want to see if I can run R on a cluster of workstation, and use batch systems like Grid Engine or Xgrid: http://gridengine.sunsource.net/ http://ww.apple.com/acg/xgrid/ --Chi

Hi all, I've recently been writing functions which may deal with very large arrays. And I hope to use *apply functions in the program so that the code may look nicer and the performance may be better in the following two situations. The first situation is: I'm having an array A with dim(A)==c(m,n,p). And I want to apply a function F to a group of elements in A like: 1) F is applied to

My dear R buddies, I've run into a problem when doing numerical computation recently. In a program that I've been working on, I usually get a vector of real values which are theoretically (and it's correct) supposed to decrease until reaching zero after a given value. However, most of the value just wander at 10^-8 scale and never shrink exactly to zero. So I guess I should manually

Hello everybody, I'm write a function whose output represents a tree. Can anyone please recommend me some data structure in R which are good for expressing a tree? The possible idea I'm having in my mind is to represent the whole tree as a list in which a sublist (an element to the main list) contains all its corresponding branches. Is there any simpler way of doing this? Thank you very

After a few days of work, I think I nearly have it. Unfortunately, theta is unchanged after I run this (as a script from a file). I thought that theta would contain the fitted parameters. The goal here is to find the least squares fit according to the function defined as "rss" subject to the constraints defined as ui and ci. I defined ui and ci to (hopefully) force par2 and par3

Currently the function Rstd_Busy() does nothing (src/unix/sys-std.c): void attribute_hidden Rstd_Busy(int which) { } The function is called through a pointer and R interfaces can change this pointer and, thus, use a different function. I don't plan to create a whole new interface to R, but I maintain a package whose aim is to provide a new feature to R when it's running in a

Hi, according to the help file rtags does not support VI(M) yet. Is there any known hack to ctags to get tags for R in VI(M)? BW F -- Federico C. F.

Is the code below showing a bug in Crosstable()? My expectation was that the values produced by xtabs were rounded instead of truncated: library(gmodels) abc <- c("a", "a", "b", "b", "c", "c") def <- c("d", "e", "f", "f", "d", "e") wgt <- c(0.8, 0.6, 0.4, 0.5, 1.4, 1.3)
