help with regular expressions in R
I'm having trouble achieving the results I want using a regular expression. I want to eliminate all characters that fall within square brackets as well as the brackets themselves, returning an "". I'm not sure if it's R's use of double slash escapes or something else that is tripping me up. If I only use one slash I get 1: '\[' is an unrecognized escape in a

how to list variables enclosed in an environment
I'm having trouble with a Bioconductor package, an variable expected in an environment does not seem to be there. As part of my investigation of the problem (most likely on my end) I'd like to list the variables contained in an environment. If you have an environment loaded, lets call it "pkgEnv', how does one find what it does contain? Mark

splitting strings efficiently
I have a very long list of strings. Each string actually contains multiple values separated by a semi-colon. I need to turn each string into a vector of the values delimited by the semi-colons. I know I can do this very laboriously by using loops, nchar, and substr, but it is terribly slow. Is there a basic R function that handles this situation? If not, is there perhaps a faster way to do it than

rggobi is crashing R-2.7.0
I am running 64-bit Ubuntu 8.04 and when I invoke rggobi the interactive graph displays but R crashes. See my sessionInfo() and a short example below. Ggobi and rggobi installed without complaints. Mark > sessionInfo() R version 2.7.0 Patched (2008-05-04 r45620) x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu locale:

2.10.0 Under development (unstable) (2009-09-15 r49711) just built segfaults on Debian Squeeze
I just downloaded R-devel and when loaded it immediately segfaults. I'm not sure how much or what sort of diagnostic info and can provide, but below is my build script, my console output, and the output of uname -r. I am currently dependent on the development version of a package, so I'd like to get R-devel up and running if possible. I am sure there is more info I can provide, but before

getting serial anovas from a complex lm object obtained with a matrix of responses
I have fit a model to ~20k different genes and would now like to extract the p-val for one of the effects, again for each individual gene. My model code is: mod <- lm(myResponseMatrix~ Time) Were I to do this with a response vector rather than matrix, the following would work: anovaResult<- anova(mod) With a more complex lm object, such as that generated above, it seems anova is trying to

vertex labels in igraph from adjacency matrix
I am getting some unexpected results from some functions of igraph and it is possible that I am misinterpreting the vertex numbers. Eg., the max betweenness measure seems to be from a vertex that is not connected to a single other vertex. Below if my code snippet: require(igraph) my.graph <- graph.adjacency(adjmatrix = my.adj.matrix, mode=c("undirected")) most.between.vert <-

subset list based on logical within element flag
I have a very long list that I'd like to subset based on a logical value within each element. Example below. I'd like to get just those list elements for further study whose $sig.cor slot is TRUE. In this example, I'd only want element [[2]]. Should be simple, I know. How can I do this? Thanks, Mark > gene.pair.tf.lst [[1]] [[1]]$gene.pair [1] "Lgals1:Pxmp2"

confused about CORREP cor.LRtest
After some struggling with the data format, non-standard in BioConductor, I have gotten cor.balance in package CORREP to work. My desire was to obtain maximum-likelihood p-values from the same data object using cor.LRtest, but it appears that this function wants something different, which I can't figure out from the documentation. Briefly, my dataset consists of 36 samples from 12

RSPython won't load in R 2.6.0 under Linux

'options=utils::recover' not working in .Rprofile or within R
For years I have been using options(error = recover) either in .Rprofile or from within R for debugging purposes. The functionality of this appears to have changed and I can't recover it (no pun intended) using the ?options help page. How can I get the old functionality back, particularly from within .Rprofile? A specific line entry would be appreciated. An example, the help page, and

vectorizing ANOVA over a vectorized linear model
Is it possible to vectorize anova over the output of a vectorized lm? I have a gene expression matrix with each row being a gene and columns for samples. There are several factors with interactions. I can get p values by looping over the matrix with lm and anova, but I would like to make this as computationally efficient as possible. I am able to vectorize the lm command, but when I try to use

ascii or regex code for alt-enter for Excel
I need to write a table that can be opened in Excel or OpenOffice such that there are newlines embedded within cells. After much Googling and futzing, I can't figure out how to do this. The way to do this within Excel is alt-Enter and I've tried '/n', '/n/r', '/r/n' per some web suggestions without luck. Anybody know what character or ASCII code to use for this?

using assign with lists
I am performing many permutations on a data-set with each permutation producing a variable number of results. I thought that the best way to keep track of all this in one object would be with a list ('res.lst'). To address these variable results for each permutation I attempted to construct this list using 'assign'. There is even more nesting than indicated below, but this is a

interactive rotatable 3d scatterplot
I would like to create a 3d scatterplot that is interactive in the sense that I can spin it on its axes to better visualize some PCA results I have. What are the options in R? I've looked at RGL and perhaps it will suffice but it wasn't apparent from the documentation I found. Any demo scripts available for a package that will work? Mark -- Mark W.

creating overall title for plots made with par(mfrow=c(2,2))
I'm making some plots on the same page and would like to include an overall title instead of individual main titles as they are similar and their x and y axis labels are sufficient to distinguish them. Is there a way to assign an overall "main" to this page of plots? Mark -- Mark W. Kimpel MD ** Neuroinformatics ** Dept. of Psychiatry Indiana University School of Medicine 15032

benchmarking R installations
Recently I posted to this list with a question about using the Intel 10.1 compilers in building R and one response was basically, "why in the heck would you want to do that?" The answer is that my sysadmin believes that there will be a performance boost with the Intel vs. Gnu compilers on our Linux cluster, of which I am one of many users.

regex question on escaping "." (and a couple other regex questions as well)
I have an example where escaping "." does not seem to be behaving consistently, but perhaps it is due to my misunderstanding. Could someone explain to me why the below produces the output it does? It seems to me that in the second example, where I am being more precise about specifying that a "." (dot) should be between the numbers, should produce the same output as the first

trouble installing building packages from source using R 2.6.0 on Ubuntu Gutsy AMD64
I have recently upgraded to Ubuntu Gutsy and, for the first time, am using a 64-bit installation. After failing miserably to install R from source, not a problem for me in the past with a 32-bit install, I went the route of using the Debian Etch build. This went smoothly, but I am unable to update my numerous R and BioConductor packages, getting non-zero exit status errors on each package. Is
