similar to: running many different regressions

Dear R community, I am creating large graphs with hundreds of thousands of datapoints. My usual way for output was pdf, but now I am getting file sizes of >30Mb that do not open well (or at all) in Adobe. Is there a way to reduce the resolution or get rid of overlaying datapoints? Any other idea is also warmly welcome! Thank you and wishing you a good day! Georg. **********************

Dear R community, I am using densityplot (lattice package) for a large dataset and wish to print it to a jpeg (the pdf is huge). R crashes consistently. Am I doing it wrong or is densityplot incompatible with jpeg? I work on a Mac, R 2.7.0. > require(lattice) > jpeg("test.jpeg") > d[1:10] [1] 0.700218 0.700175 0.700357 0.700847 0.698286 0.701520 0.698158 0.699300 0.698819

Dear R community, I am using 6 variables to test for an effect (by linear regression). These 6 variables are strongly correlated among each other and I would like to find out the number of independent test that I perform in this calcuation. For this I calculated a matrix of correlation coefficients between the variables (see below). But to find the rank of the table in R is not the right

Dear R community, I am using a dataset and would like to define new variables using a R variable: e.g. for (i in 1:10){ dataset$i<-something } But this is not the right way, I get only one variable in "dataset"... How can I change this? Thank you! Georg. ************************ Georg Ehret Johns Hopkins Baltimore, MD [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R comunity, I am printing a number in a graph using "text(...)" - see code below: "fraction" is my number. I wish to print only two digits of the number and struggle to do this... options(digit=3) does not work... Thank you for your suggestions!

Dear R community, Can I please get some advice on the following: I wish to obtain a list of residuals, padded by NAs for NAs in my source data. I tried several options of "na.action", but did not succeed... Example: I would like to get "0,0,0,0,NA,NA": > a [1] 1 2 3 4 NA 9 > b [1] 3 4 5 6 7 NA > lm(a~b)$residuals 1 2 3 4 0 0 0 0 >

Dear R community, I have a fairly large file with variables in rows. Every variable (thousands) needs to be regressed on a reference variable. The file is too big to load into R (or R gets too slow having done it) and I do now read in line by line with "scan" (see below) and write the results to out. Although improved, this is still very slow... Can someone please help me and suggest

Dear R user group, I wish to plot small pie-charts to specific coordinates in a e.g. scatter-plot: E.g.: > plot(rnorm(100),rnorm(100)) > points(1,1,col="red",cex=4) -> I wish to put pie(c(2,3)) at the position of the red circle... How can I do this efficiently? Thanking you and wishing you a wonderful Sunday! Georg. ************************** Georg Ehret Johns Hopkins

Dear R community, I am using a dataframe with lots of NAs and wish to create subsets from that dataframe. In the example below I intend to create a subset with all entries with V1>1. To my surprise the result also contains all entries with V1=NA. I would wish to learn more why this is or what I do wrong. I know that I can use the command "subset" and the NAs will not appear, but

Dear R, I am writing a simple function to extract the sign of values and apply it to a data frame (see below). Whatever I do I get error-messages... What is wrong? Thanking you in advance, Cheers, Georg. *********************** Georg Ehret Institute of Genetic Medicine Johns Hopkins University Baltimore > extractsign<-function(x){ + if (x<0) a<--1 + else

Sometimes, it is too costly to read the whole data file into R. I am looking for solution in scan() and read.Lines() but don't they work.

Dear R user group, I am working with boxplots and cannot solve the following problem: > data<-c(0,15,0,60,0,0,0,0,0,60,60,0,60,0,30,0) > data [1] 0 15 0 60 0 0 0 0 0 60 60 0 60 0 30 0 > boxplot(data) The boxplot has the first hinge and the mean-bar both at 0... Why is this the mean is clearly >0! Thanking you and wishing you an excellent day, Georg.

Dear R, I am often adding a total rows or column (sum over all rows or columns) when using table(data$1,data$2)... I do this now by adding the rows/columns and rbind() or cbind()... But there must be a more efficient way.... Could someone please give me a hint? Thank you!

Dear Ms and Mr R, I am seeking a visually appealing presentation of 3 variables (~30 datapoints) that are correlated and that should to into the same direction. The objective is to show that they do go in the same direction and what differences there might be while also giving an idea of the values of the variables. I had done this with simple bargraphs for 6 datapoints in the past, but for

Dear R community, I wish to include a variable (e.g. slice of "a" below) in another variable's name. My objective would be to get a variable-name "data_A" and so on. How can I do this? > a<-LETTERS[1:25] > a [1] "A" "B" "C" "D" "E" "F" "G" "H" "I" "J"
