I have recently replaced R-2.9.0 with R-2.10.1 Patched. Apparently the installation completed successfully but right now I realized that the on-line help does not work any more. When I type "?<R-command>" a message pops up warning that "Help will not be available. Path not found" ... regardless of the R-command. How can I get back R on-line man pages ? Thank you very

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 !

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 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 recently updated R 2.10.1 Patched (2010-02-20 r51163) This morning I reinstalled biomaRt using biocLite. Now I can no more connect to biomaRt and even the following instruction is hanging for a while until the same error message pops up. > listMarts() Error in value[[3L]](cond) : Request to BioMart web service failed. Verify if you are still connected to the internet. Alternatively the

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 <-

I deal with a huge amount of Biology data stored in different databases. The databases belongig to Bioconductor organization can be accessed through Bioconductor packages. Unluckily some useful data is stored in databases like, for instance, miRDB, miRecords, etc ... which offer just an interactive HTML interface. See for instance http://mirdb.org/cgi-bin/search.cgi,

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 <-

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.

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

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 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

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 wonder whether it is possible in R to generate color-coded 3D plots, like the attached example. Basically a function f(x,y) (the 3rd dimension) is rendered through colors intensities. The side color-bar is a guide to the interpretation of the plot. Thank you very much, Maura e tutti i telefonini TIM! Vai su e tutti i telefonini TIM! Vai su

I am going to try out a tentative clustering of some feature vectors. The range of values spanned by the three items making up the features vector is quite different: Item-1 goes roughly from 70 to 525 (integer numbers only) Item-2 is in-between 0 and 1 (all real numbers between 0 and 1) Item-3 goes from 1 to 10 (integer numbers only) In order to spread out Item-2 even further I might try to

After a year my R programming style is still very "C like". I am still writing a lot of "for loops" and finding it difficult to recognize where, in place of loops, I could just do the same with one line of code, using "sapply", "lapply", or the like. On-line examples for such high level function do not help me. Even if, sooner or later, I am getting my R

I am looking for some help at removing low-frequency components from a signal, through Moving Average on a sliding window. I understand thiis is a smoothing procedure that I never done in my life before .. sigh. I searched R archives and found "rollmean", "MovingAverages {TTR}", "SymmetricMA". None of the above mantioned functions seems to accept the smoothing

I have resumed developing R code on SuSE/Linux version 11.1 I installed the latest 64-bit R version available for my platform. Accidentally I figured out I still had an old R installation that, surprisingly, was not wiped out by the new SuSE installation from scratch. I suspect the new and old R versions got mixed up. I would greatly appreciate some suggestions about restarting from scratch a

I deal with mono-channel breathing signals sampled at 30[Hz] which are non-linear and non-stationary. My goal is to classify the signals according to common breathing patterns Trend remotion is necessary for cluster analysis but quite challenging. In fact, quasi-periodic patterns that span a number of consecutive breathing cycles should not be naively removed as they carry a lot of useful
