Hi. I'm not having any luck installing the binary for the new Macintosh OS called "Tiger". I get error messages as below. Can anyone offer me some advice? (PS: I checked the bug list first but a search on "Tiger" turned up nothing so I hope it's OK to post here.) Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared

I've been using (and loving) R for quite a while now, but I have to admit that something simple is still stumping me. The question is how I can control the box within which a plot is drawn, in cases where I'm controlling the aspect ratio with the "asp" argument. The problem comes up in pdf() and png() output formats, but also with interactive windows, and so I'll

howdy R friends, I'm new but I used to play with S+ a long time ago. Can someone please help me with how to approach this? I have some response time data I want to 'correlate' with other data. I believe queueing is involved so I need to prove somehow (F test?) that response ~ exponential(...) How do I go about this? I cant find exponential in 'nlm' or other functions.

QUESTION: how should I do a linear regression in which there are errors in x as well as y? SUPPLEMENT: I've seen folks approach this problem by computing eigenvectors of the covariance matrix, and that makes sense to me. But I'm wondering if this has a "pedigree" (i.e. if it makes sense to folks on this list, and if it's something that has been published, so I can refer to

Hi all, I have created forest plots using the package "meta" that I submitted as pdf for publication. I just received an email from the editor asking me if I could send these files in an Excel or MS Word format such that they can treat them as tables with box plots. I am not sure if I can do this... Is this possible? I've tried the capture.output command, but I get a blank MS Word

I've rolled up R-1.7.1.tgz a short while ago. This is a patch version mainly fixing up an assortment of issues (see below). Note also that it comes with an updated set of recommended packages, fixing a couple of nasty issues in at least foreign and nlme. You can get it from http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/base/R-1.7.1.tgz or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site nearer to you. Binaries

Q: Has anyone implemented cartograms [**] in R? A search on the R site turned up https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-geo/2005-December/000698.html which led to http://www.okada.jp.org/RWiki/index.php?cmd=read&page=Rmap%A4%F2%BB% C8%A4%C3%A4%BF%C3%CF%BF%DE%C9%BD%BC%A8&word=Rmap#content_1_35 which has (one form of) a cartogram as a PNG, but which doesn't seem to have code. (The

First, let me join the chorus of praise for R. (Hey, isn't somebody going to analyse all these praise emails in some statistical way?) I'm writing to point out an error in the file permissions in the linux/redhat version. (I'm using R-base-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm, by the way.) The permissions in /usr/lib/R/doc/html aren't correct, since 'function.html' and

Q: When R does 'plot()' in a context that yields boxplots, is there a way to force it to draw something even if there are only 1 or two data in the category? I'd like for it to draw the data, perhaps using the outlier symbols. My code is (*** marks the line in question) is the following, for R-1.0.0: d <- read.table("nserc-results-pgsb", header=FALSE,

Hello. I'm having difficulties getting R_alloc() to work. The test platform is a 64-bit Mac running R 2.2.1 installed via a .dmg file obtained from the R site. Details are given below, in a level of detail that I hope is appropriate. My eye was particularly drawn to line #2 in the gdb 'where' output, but line #1 seems sensible so I may just be displaying my ignorance by

Please excuse a question from somebody who is new to R. I'm using R version 0.90.1 (from an RPM package for redhat-linux) and am running into difficulties with code that looks like: nls(~ relative.error(..., x, y),data,start=list(...)) I've taken this code, which attempts to do a nonlinear curve-fit with weighted deviations, from section 10.3 of the book 'Statistical models in

Hello friends. I've just switched from linux to osx, and I'm liking it, except now that I'm getting down to brass tacks, and needing to install some R packages, I'm at a roadblock. I'm hoping someone can help. My R is installed from a .dmg, and resides as follows: $ which R /usr/local/bin/R The problem is that I cannot build packages. For example, see the below (which

I have a package that contains some fortran code. It has been built in the past, but now I have an updated Apple OSX 10.4 (Tiger) system, and it fails. The behaviour is as follows $ R CMD CHECK oce ,,, gcc-3.3 -bundle -flat_namespace -undefined suppress -L/usr/local/lib -o oce.so geoddist.o ocecp.o rho.o spice.o strho.o theta.o tsrho.o -

I'm new to R (and to S) and am wondering about code from pages 72 and 83 of MASS (Venables+Ripley, 3rd edition), to draw an envelope on a QQ plot. Copying from the book, I've got: #... code whose gist is "a.fit <- nls(..." num.points <- length(resid(a.fit)) qqnorm(residuals(a.fit)) # illustrate data-model residuals qqline(residuals(a.fit)) samp <-

Is there a way a function ('parent', say) can manipulate the ... argument, and then pass the manipulated value into another function ('child', say) that it calls? What I'm trying to do is to use some plotting defaults within 'parent' that are not part of parent's argument list, but to let the use over- ride these defaults if they choose. A sketch is below.

Dear list, I am new with ggplot2 and I have spend quiet some time putting together the following code to create the attached plot. However there's still a few things that I'm having trouble with! I would be grateful if someone can tell me how to fix (1) the colour of my bars into grey scales (2) removing the y-axis (species name) on the right figure to avoid duplication, and (3) fix the

I have an issue with a circular package dependence that prevents building/checking, and I seek advice on breaking the circle so the packages can pass the build-check tests that are required for CRAN submission. The package pair I'm working with is slow to build, but my tests suggest the issue may be general, and so I will explain it in general terms. Suppose there are two packages: 1. Foo,

I am having trouble handing "raw" data to a C function, using "cfunction", as demonstrated in the function and output pasted below. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing incorrectly? Thanks.
