It takes a lot of sweat to generate a composite plot with R ... sigh. I though I was almost done when I met the umpteenth hurdle. I cannot place a nice title on the 2nd plot (raw signal) on the layout. I do not have control on where either the "main" option of "plot" function, or "title", place the text string which keeps dysplaying chopped from above. I also tried

Is there a way to force the number of ticks along an axis ? I read the on-line documentation and tried many combinations of all available parameters from functions par(), axTicks(), axis(), plot() ... but no luck !

Thank you for your prompt answer. The breathing signal observations are the amplitude values as a function of time and phase. According to our model the hidden states are the different breathing types. Subjects, whose respiratiion process is regular, are likely to breathe, keeping the same cycle pattern/type, for many consecutive cycles. therefore dwelling in the same hidden state. The more

I installed package plotrix because reading its vignette it looks like it can help me solve a "legend" problem. The package instaleed correctly on my Mac OS/X 10.5.8 But I cannot reproduce the examples centered on function "lgendg". > library(plotrix) > plot(0.5,0.5,xlim=c(0,1),ylim=c(0,1),type="n", + main="Test of grouped legend function") >

I cannot find any R function or operator that performs a binary AND operation, as performed by Fortran built-in function "iand". Ideally either R operator "&" or "&&" should do that. But some tests proved they do not: > A<- 1 > B <- 2 > A [1] 1 > B [1] 2 > as.numeric(A&B) [1] 1 > as.numeric(A&&B) [1] 1 The binary

I tried to use R version of package I noticed the original MatLab Pckage is much better documented. I had a look at the R demo code "gtm_demo" and found that variable Y is used in advanced of being created: I wrote my own few lines as follows: inDir <- "C:/Documents and Settings/Monville/Alanine Dipeptide/DBP1/DHA" setwd(inDir) T <-

The attached patch adds some sanity checks to the "type" argument of quantile(). Output from the following commands show the change of behavior with the current patch: vec <- 1:10 quantile(vec, type = c(1, 2)) quantile(vec, type = 10) quantile(vec, type = "aaa") quantile(vec, type = NA_real_) quantile(vec, type = 4.3) quantile(vec, type = -1) Current behavior

I wonder whether R provides an interface to access miRecords data. Particularly, I am looking for extracting humans miRNA and target genes sequences. All such information is stored in there in a set of structured web site pages (http://mirecords.umn.edu/miRecords) I would greatly appreciate any suggestion even about other data bases from where it is possible to get the same sort of data. I had a

I am assigning subset of a matrix A [n,3] where n>1 to a temporary matrix TMP I do not know how many rows of A will be assigned to TMP because this is established by a run-time test. I expect TMP to be a matrix [m,3], m >=1 But when 1 row only is transferred from A to TMP then TMP becomes [3,1] rather than [1,3] How can I avoid this unwanted transpose operation ? THank you in advance,

I know my question has been asked many times. Please, forgive me for asking it once more. It's time to update R version. I run R on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS/X. I think I remember on Windows R comes with the un-installer. So I uninstall it first and then I install the latest version. On Mac OS I have no experience of updating R ... I think (and hope) all what I have to do is to drag R icon

I would greatly appreciate some example of correct usage of function unz. I have to download and uncompress the following web compressef file: ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/mirbase/targets/v5/arch.v5.txt.homo_sapiens.zip I tried the following command that does not work: Targets.rec <- readLines(zz <- unz("ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/mirbase/targets/v5/arch.v5.txt.homo_sapiens.zip"))

After some headache with debugging my script, I finally isolated the problem taht I am going to illustrate in the following example. I expected matrix nrow to decrease consistently till 1. Instead, when the matrix is left with one row only, its nrow jumps to 2 because the matrix gets transposed. How come ? Thank you, Maura > B <- c(1,2) > B <- rbind(B,c(3,4)) > B <-

I knowf R functions ca be called passing some parameters. My first question is: how are parameters passed to R functions ? Browsing through R archives I found an answer confirming taht parameters can be passed to the called function by value. I wonder whether passing the parameter address is possible somehow to allow the function to actually change its value. My second question is about

How, if possible, can I run an R script, from command line, passing external parameters just like I can run a C main program passing parameters: # Cprog p1 p2 p3 Cprog can access its arguments (p1,p2,p3) through the built-in structures "argv" and "argc". Since R is built on C language I would expect the same feature to be available with R scripts as well ... ? Please, notice

Some wavelet analysis experts have implemented periodic boundary conditions for signals. I need to implement a circular buffer. Something like: "12345abcdefgh12345abcdefgh" so that at each step the riightmost element is moved to the leftmost index and everything else is properly shifted: "h12345abcdefgh12345abcdefg", "gh12345abcdefgh12345abcdef", .... My

I have the following vector of strings (shown only the first 3 elements) > desc[1:3] [1] "hsa-let-7a MIMAT0000062 Homo sapiens let-7a" [2] "hsa-let-7a* MIMAT0004481 Homo sapiens let-7a*" [3] "hsa-let-7a-2* MIMAT0010195 Homo sapiens let-7a-2*" > is.vector(desc) [1] TRUE > A <- unlist(strsplit(desc[1:3], " ")) > A [1]

I have attached a file downloaded from database mirWalk. Apparently it is in XLS format (this is the extension of the downloaded file). However, I cannot open it with OpenOffife spreadsheet program and Excel itself cannot separate the columns as it does when a true XLS file is loaded. I tried to read the attached downloaded file through R function "read.xls" and got the following

Can biomaRt connect to data base "http://mirecords.umn.edu" or a branch of it ... for instance the validated miRNAs list ..? Thank you very much. Maura tutti i telefonini TIM! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Is there any R package that implements the same capability of MatLab toolbox called SimBiology ? We are expecially interested in protein-protein interactions and network analysis. As far as I know SimBiology implements a system of ODEs reflecting the kinetic chemical reactions. We would be more interested in stochastic simulations. Thank you in advance.
