I'm having trouble using the read.mtp function in the foreign package to import datasets from minitab (.mtw) format. Specifically, each file I try to import fails to load any data beyond a header row stating the version of Minitab that saved the dataset. I get this error: incomplete final line found by readtableHeader on 'income.mtw' The dataset appears to be complete (ie, using

Hi all. I got a question about eigenvector. I've tried input a symmetric matrix to both R (using eigen function) and minitab, but the result is really different. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with that? Thanks. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I ran a small data set from a factorial experiment through R, Minitab and JMP... the result from R is significantly different from what Minitab or JMP give... The data set is at the following link: http://www.personal.psu.edu/nug107/Uploads/2x3_16repsANOVA.txt The first 5 columns are the factors and the next three are responses. In particular, for the response beta11MSE, two of the

hi folks, Bit of a newbie, but I've spent a fair bit of time looking for an answer on this, with no joy. Can anyone help me? Dataset: A single column of values in a csv file (eg. 52, 53, 54, 85, etc) Goal: In Minitab, you have what they call a dot plot. It's a histogram, where a single dot represents a set of identical values (eg. 57, 57, 57 would be one dot). Multiple dots are

Minitab can perform a "Parametric Distribution Analysis - Arbitrary Censoring" with one of eight distributions (e.g., weibull), giving the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters in the distribution for a given dataset. Does R have a package that provides equivalent functionality? Thanks for any advice you can offer. Tom La Bone [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I have daily wind speed data and need to fit seasonal ARIMA model, problem is that my period is 365. But when I use arima(...) function, with period 365, I?m getting error message: ?Error in makeARIMA(trarma[[1]], trarma[[2]], Delta, kappa) : maximum supported lag is 350?. Can someone help me with this problem? Thank you Sincerely yours, Laura Saltyte

Hi all, I am writing a function (fun.R), but I dont know how to code the function so that the Help Text will be shown up when one types ?fun (of course, after he loads it up). Anyone has any advice for me how to do that? Thanks, D.

I recently tried to install the latest version of spatstat, from CRAN, using the install.packages() function. It proceeded to install version 1.17-5 of spatstat, although the current version is 1.18-4. Checking the CRAN mirror that I used (New Zealand) via Firefox, I found that version 1.18-4 is indeed present on CRAN. I was able to download and install version 1.18-4 ``manually''

I am trying to construct a function to which I pass an expression as an argument. >From that expression I want to create a somewhat more complicated expression and then differentiate it using D() or deriv(). To give a simple example, I'd like to be able to do something like e1 <- expression(x^2 + y^2) e2 <- some.magic(e1,"n") or maybe e2 <- some.magic(e1,expression(n))

I am (desperately) trying to get used to using a Mac here at my new location. (Why *anyone* would ever use anything other than Linux, except under duress as I am, totally escapes me, but that's another story.) Fortunately much of the Mac OSX is actually Unix, so a civilized person can manage to carry on ... But there are some things. (Like this <expletive deleted> mailer ... But

Dear R users, I have an unbalanced panel with an average of I=100 individuals and a total of T=1370 time intervals, i.e. T>>I. So far, I have been using the plm package. I wish to estimate a FE model like: res<-plm(x~c+v, data=pdata_frame, effect="twoways", model="within", na.action=na.omit) ?where c varies over i and t, and v represents an exogenous impact on x

Dear R People: I'm trying to use the predict command on an arima0 object. I do the following: xm.arma <- arima0(xm2,order=c(1,0,1)) predict(xm.arma,n.ahead=2) and I get the message: Error in round(x, digits) : Non-numeric argument to mathematical function Any ideas what the problem might be, please? R version 1 4 1 on Windows. Thanks in advance! Sincerely, Erin Hodgess Associate

I have several hundred Excel 2007 data files in a folder. I would like to read every file in a single given folder using a loop. I have searched the FAQ, the forum archives here, other or older R boards and the R Import / Export documentation, and have asked some very knowledgeable R users without learning of a solution. I hope someone here can help. I understand that the most common

Hello, Is it possible to declare the version of Rails used with the seminal "rails /path/to/my_app" command? For example, I now have 1.2.1 and 1.1.6 installed on my machine. If I run "rails my_app" I get 1.2.1 produced skeleton code. Is there a way to get 1.1.6 results? Regards, Andy Koch --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this
