similar to: Include manually an intercept in lm without breaking it?

Hi My goal is to do a (multiple) regression, just knowing that my Y variables will be the say k first variables of a matrix/data frame. I thought I should do it with eval(parse)) but encounter a strange problem. See: lm(y~.-y, data=freeny) #that's what I want to do in the one equation case #Problem is I don't know name of the variable... only that it is the first one... #so idea is to

Hello! I would love to be able to include an external variable to a lm call, I mean something: if(TRUE) a<-freeny.x[,4] else a<-NULL lm(freeny.y~freeny.x[,-4] +a) but it does not work with a<-NULL, whereas lm(freeny.y~freeny.x[,-4] +NULL) I don't understand why and did not find an answer in the manuals... do you see it? Any idea? Thanks!!

Hi I have a few problems with tail/head when applied to multiple time series. I'm not sure as whether I did not understand the function or whether it correspond to an unexpected behavior. When head(a,n) is applied on data.frame or matrix, it returns a data-frame or matrix with first n obs of *each* variable. When applied to a mts object, it returns first n obs of *first* variable only,

Hello I looked on the archives but did not find answer for that... Running R CMD check for a package, i get an error: Error in parse(n = -1, file = file) : unexpected symbol at 3341: } But how can I find which file is guilty? What is this 3342 referring to? Finally the solution I found is to source() every file until I find the file where the problem is... Is there some better way to do it?

Hi, A recent thread provided a (working) construct for lm: lm(as.matrix(freeny[ix]) ~., freeny[-ix]) Can someone explain what is meant by the formula in that expression, that is, what does "mymatrix~." do? I couldn't find any such example in the lm() or formula() help pages. thanks Carl

Hi I'm trying to install the rattle GUI on winwos 2000, with last version R 2.10. I had a first problem using the rattle package, as it was asking pkg XMl, which is no more in the CRAN repo. I instead simply install in R/libraries the XML pkg from: http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.10/ Maybe I mised something here... So now I was able to run the library(rattle) then,

Hello I'm sorry if this suggestion/correction was already made but after a search in devel list I did not find any mention of it. I would just suggest to add a warning or an exemple for the help-file of the function unique() like "Note that unique() compares only identical values. Values which, are printed equally but in facts are not identical will be treated as different."

Hi We are about to publish a book, which contains figures made with R plots. An important detail that we did not take into account is that the book will not be printed in 4 colors (cmyk mode), but only 2 (black +"spotcolor"). The spotcolor we use is part of the big Pantone family. The problem is that both pdf() and postscript() offer either rgb or cmyk, but no spotcolors such as

Dear R devel I am experiencing a problem using R CMD check. I tried to specify the argument outdir, but get every time the error message: Warning: unknown option ‘--outdir==RCHECK’ This happens both on R 2.15.2 Linux, as well as R 3.0.1 Windows, with latest Rtools. Is it just that I am not passing the argument the right way, or is there an issue with R CMD check? I tried to write the argument

can you recommend a good manual for R that starts with a data set and gives demonstrations on what can be done using R? I downloadedR Langauage definition and An introduction to R but haven't found them overly useful. I'd really like to be able to follow some tutorials using a dataset or many datasets. The datasets I have available on R are Data sets in package 'datasets':

This problem does not appear while reading the same file in Windows! Try: read.csv("http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6113358/prob.csv") Could you please tell me if you also have this problem?

Hi I have within a quite big function foo1, an internal function foo2. Now, in order to have a cleaner code, I wish to have the internal foo2 as "external". This foo2 was using arguments within the foo1 environment that were not declared as inputs of foo2, which works as long as foo2 is within foo1, but not anymore if foo2 is external, as is the case now. Now, I could add all those
