Hello guys I am new to this list and for R too. I am wondering if there is a patch for the SPSS reading code on the foreign package, in order to be able to read long variable names. Right now read.spss() just trunc the names to 8 characters. Or if someone could help me on other way: I have to process everyday a lot of SPSS Syntax Files and Dat files that come from one system that can only export

Hello guys! May be I am lazy but I need to replace a character like \ or ' or to escape them in a character vector to write a SQL statement. How can I do that? Caveman [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I am using pyramid.plot() from the plotrix package. I have something like this ############################################ xy.pop<-dados$masfr xx.pop<-dados$femfr #agelabels<-dados$femlab xycol<-color.gradient(c(0,0,0.5,1),c(0,0,0.5,1),c(1,1,0.5,1),11) xxcol<-color.gradient(c(1,1,0.5,1),c(0.5,0.5,0.5,1),c(0.5,0.5,0.5,1),11) xylab<-dados$maslab xxlab<-dados$femlab

I need a way to send R objects and call R functions from web. Is there any project close or similar to that? I want to be able to send an HTTP rquest from an existing application with some data. And obtain a plot from R. Thanks in advance Caveman [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Corect me if this is not the right place to post this. I have a mdbdriver.jar (to access an MSAccess file) under Linux. I bought the license from http://www.csv-jdbc.com/ guys. The driver work fine when tested with DBVisualizer or another JDBC thing. The problem is that driver needs 3 other more jar files to work. Under R I have tried this and does not work: > library(RJDBC) Loading required

I have one XML file with 30MB that I need to read the data. I try this; library(XML) doc <- xmlDoc("Malaria_Grave.xml") And R answers like this *** caught segfault *** address 0x5, cause 'memory not mapped' Traceback: 1: .Call("RS_XML_createDocFromNode", node, PACKAGE = "XML") 2: xmlDoc("Malaria_Grave.xml") Possible actions: 1: abort (with

Hello! I''m just a caveman with some caveman questions. I''ve been parsing Rspec for quite a while, and I''m writing my first series of specs. My initial impressions are "Verbose, but understandable. Helpful and intuitive, but so much to digest." I want to congratulate the folks who are dedicating a chunk of their lives to writing this, and ask 2 caveman

Dear R magic guys.. I have two tables (actually will be dataframes), both with names to be matched. The names on the first dataframe are from a study with antenatal visits on some health centers here. It happens that we need the delivery info. And half and some thing else of the women decided to delivery some where else our health units. We managed to get the names from some other places but now

I'm more like a caveman when it comes to programming tools. So, with that in mind, is there a way to use readBin in a batch format to read in pieces of a large binary file? Thank you for the consideration of my question. Todd Remund

Is there a way to use full information maximum likelihood (FIML) to estimate missing data in the sem package? For example, suppose I have a dataset with complete information on X1-X3, but missing data (MAR) on X4. Is there a way to use FIML in this case? I know lavaan and openmx allow you to do it, but I couldn't find anything in the documentation for the sem package. Thanks! -- Dustin Fife

Dear R-Help, >From reading the help file, it is my understanding the the download.file() function does not support HTTPS connections. So therefore, understandably, the follow produces an error: ### R Code > url <- "https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2008-October/thread.html" > destfile <- "//PFO-SBS001/Redirected/tonyb/Desktop/R_web_test/tmp.txt" >

Let me start with an example: par(mfrow=c(2,3)) for (i in 1:5){ x = rnorm(100) y = .5*x + rnorm(100, 0, sqrt(1-.5^2)) plot(x,y) } Note that there's five plots and six spaces for those plots via mfrow, leaving one row empty. Is there a way to have the bottom two plots centered? I think it looks weird to have them left-justified. Thanks in advance for the help! -- Dustin Fife PhD

Forgive me if this is a trivial question, but I couldn't find it an answer in former forums. I'm trying to reproduce some SAS results where they set two parameters equal. For example: y = b1X1 + b2X2 + b1X3 Notice that the variables X1 and X3 both have the same slope and the intercept has been removed. How do I get an estimate of this regression model? I know how to remove the intercept

So in a previous thread about java installs, I became more aware of /usr/sbin/alternatives and the links in /etc/alternatives. In an effort to not get lost in that thread (and mostly because it's a seperate topic and may help others when searching the list) I decided to posit my question directly. Rather than hack like a caveman at my installs of java and other things that fit into the

Hi, I'm using the sem package under conditions where I know beforehand that several models will be problematic. Because of that, I want to suppress warnings. I've used the following code sem(mod, S = as.matrix(dataset), N = 1000, maxiter = 10000, warn = FALSE) But I still get warnings. I've also tried adding "check.analytic = FALSE, debug = FALSE," and that

Forgive me if I'm posting to the wrong place....It's my first time posting. Here's the situation: I'm using the sem package and making path diagrams using path.diagrams.
