Dear R-help, I first thought that the empty set (for a vector) would be NULL. x <- c() x However, the documentation seems to make clear that there _many_ empty sets depending on the vector's mode, namely, numeric(0), character(0), logical(0), etc. This is borne out by y <- letters[1:3] z <- letters[4:6] intersect(y,z) which, of course, is non-NULL: is.null(character(0)) #

Dear R-devel, Please see the recent thread on R-help, "Odd Behavior Out of setdiff(...) - addition of duplicate entries is not identified" posted by Jason Rupert. I gave an answer, then read David Winsemius' answer, and then did some follow-up investigation. I would like to change my answer. My current version of setdiff() is acting in a way that I do not understand, and a way

I think I am using the improved version of setdiff(...) that handles data.frames, so I think some odd behavior was expected but this one is escaping me. It appears that the the addition of duplicate entries is not caught by the setdiff(...). Is this expected behavior? If so, is there another method or approach that should be used to identify duplicate row entries between two different data

HI, i'm really new of R and i need some help. I have to describe some distributions for some dices throw: - launching 3 dices i need the distribution of the sum of the two higher values - launching 4 dices i need the distribution of the occurrences of the same value possibly i need a way to compare the two distribution adding the fourth dice to the first without summing it (only for

Hi, I fail to find "choose.dir()" in my current R install (see below)? Didn't that exist at some point? How to achieve "file.choose()" equivalent functionality for directories?

Hello, I have been interested in setdiff() for data frames that operates row-wise. I looked in the documentation, mailing lists, etc., and didn't find exactly the right thing. Given data frames A, B with the same columns, the goal is to extract the rows that are in A, but not in B. Of course, one can usually do setdiff(rownames(A), rownames(B)) but that is cheating. :-) I played around a

Dear R-help, Suppose I write a script that looks something like this: #### script.R set.seed(something) x <- rnorm(100) y <- runif(500) # bunch of other stuff save.image() ### end of script.R Now, I give you a copy of my script.R (with the set.seed statement removed, of course) together with the .RData file that was generated by the save.image() command. Question: 1) can you tell

Hello everybody :-) I have some data that I want to model with a logistic regression, most of the independent variables are numeric and the only dependent is categorical, I was thinking that I could apply a logistic regression using glm but I wanted to deepen my knowledge of this so I tried to do some reading and found the "iris" dataset, now I would like to ask two things, first

Hi, I have a bright, diligent second-year graduate student who wants to learn statistics and R and will, in effect, be taking a tutorial from me on these subjects. (If you've seen some of my questions on this list, please don't laugh.) As an undergrad he majored in philosophy, so this will be his first foray into computer programming and statistics. I'm thinking of having him use

From R-help ... >I notice that you have the IPSUR package loaded; you know, just a >shot in the dark here, but did you try not loading it? > >I ask because the vignette is built by making a special choice for >set.seed, and the workspace that ships with the package might be >interacting in an unexpected way. Is it possible that a package can save a set seed and have the effect

Dear all I am writing an Sweave document and have encountered formatting issues with the "locale" part of toLatex(sessionInfo()). The fact that there is no spaces between the various "locale" variables means that LaTeX cannot easily find an appropriate place to break the lines, and some will get printed off screen. Below is the text output, and this .pdf document [1] shows the

HI Every one Could some one provide me definitions of following bivariate distributions gamma, exponencial, Weibull, half-normal , Rayleigh, Erlang,chi-square thanks A.S. Qureshi

Is there a way to calculate power for repeated measures ANOVA (2 groups x 7 observations)? I have searched all over, but all I can find is power.anova.test, but that would not give accurate results, right? Thanks, Matt Bridgman

Hi, I have a matrix of duplicate rows. How to output a list the unique rows with their count? I have used "unique" to have the unique rows, but can't produce the occurences of each unique row. Thanks Louis --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I have this problem: X is hazardous variable N(mean 2, sd=3) >>question 1) Find the c value, so that P(X>c)=0.10. using R >>question 2) Graph the function N(2,3) and with this graph, explain what you do in question number 1. I just found question number one but not the second one. So, I'd like to make a plot form this distribution N (2,3) using the functions plot and

I was wondering what the criteria were for including books on the Books Related to R page <http://www.r-project.org/doc/bib/R-books.html>. (There is no maintainer listed on this page.) In particular, I was wondering why the following two books are not listed: * Andrew Gelman, Jennifer Hill, *Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical Models*. (CRAN package 'arm') *

  Dear R helpers   Suppose I have two sets of ranges (interest rates) as   Range 1 : (7 – 7.50, 7.50 – 8.50, 8.50 – 10.00) with respective probabilities 0.42, 0.22 and 0.36.     Range II : (11-12, 12-14, 14-21) with respective probabilities 0.14, 0.56 and 0.30 respectively.     My problem is to form the combinations of these ranges in a decreasing order of joint probabilities. It is assumed that

Package mvtnorm provides dmvnorm, pmvnorm that can be used to compute Pr(X=x,Y=y) and Pr(X<x,Y<y) for a bivariate normal. Are there functions that would compute Pr(X<x,Y=y)? I'm currently using "integrate" with dmvnorm but it is too slow.
