You should reply to the list, not just me, and even more because I cannot really help you!! My guess (but I don't know this package, and even less this function) is that pvclust() is expecting a matrix as the first argument. However, "cluster" is no data, it is a function. Why, I don't know. Take a closer look at ?pvclust, especially the "usage",

Dear Jim, Here is again exactly what I did and with the output of Rprof (with this reduced dataset and with a simpler function, it is here much faster than in real life). Thanks you again for your help! ## CODE ## mydata1<- structure(list(species = structure(1:8, .Label = c("alsen","gogor", "loalb", "mafas", "pacyn", "patro",

Dear users, I think my questions are pretty simple, but I got lost in the hundreds of par() and plot() arguments and plot functions, so I don't know in which direction I should go. Here is my sample dataset: test <- structure(list(DIET = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 4L), .Label = c("G", "GG", "L",

Dear users, I've noticed some time ago that some of the packages I use (especially doBy) could not run (yet) on R 2.11. So I kept on using R 2.10. But I think it should be fine by now. So my question is how do I check whether a package is compatible with the last version of R? How can I check whether it works perfectly or whether there are still some bugs to be fixed? I could ask the

Dear users, I'm trying to get a dot plot but always end up with a boxplot. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? df <- structure(list(FACETTE = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, + 2L, 2L), .Label = c("base", "tip"), class = "factor"), Sq = c(274836, + 0.74182, 0.709205, 0.984552, 279869, 255712, 26566, 301464)), .Names = c("FACETTE",

Dear users, I would like to process all the lists from all *.rda files that I have in one folder. Up to now, I can load all the *.rda files without any problem. The problem is when I want to access the list saved within each *.rda file (only one list per rda file). Here is my code: fpath <- "D:/R" listnames <- list.files(path=fpath, pattern=glob2rx("*.rda"),

Dear R users, I would like to compare two dataframes, actually their categorical variables (as factors) only (there are 12, from column 1 to 12). The reason I do that is that I got 2 datasets from two different methods and I would like to be sure that each method used the same data (3D images) to extract 2 different sets of 3D parameters. Is it clear so far? So I thought about using

Dear users, I have looked on different sources and found different functions to prompt the user to provide input. However, I couldn't find one that does exactly what I'm looking for. select.list() and menu() are nice because a graphic window appears to prompt the user. However, the user can only choose from a predefined list of choices. readline() and scan() are more free in the

Dear users, My problem concerns save() within a for loop. Here is my code: for (i in 1:4) { temp <- data.frame(a=(i+1):(i+10), b=LETTERS[(i+1):(i+10)]) filename <- paste("file", i, sep="") assign(filename, temp) save(filename, file=paste(filename, ".rda", sep="")) } As you can see, save() doesn't work as I would like: (1) the object

Dear users, As an alternative to RSvgDevice::devSVG, I have tried using Cairo and cairoDevice. When opening the svg file from Cairo::CairoSVG() as well as from cairoDevice::Cairo_svg() in Illustrator, I got a warning message (which is damn hard to translate since I don't understand it), something like: "clipping (?) will be lost at reexportation to format 'Tiny'". I

It looks from str(SA) that Response IPS1 is a data.frame of class "anova", which probably cannot be coerced to vector. Maybe you can use unlist() instead of as.vector() Or something like SA[["Response IPS1"]]["as.factor(WSD)",] ## to select the first row only, even maybe with unlist() Without a better REPRODUCIBLE example, I cannot tell more (maybe some others

Dear users, By running the script below, R crashes systematically at the last command, namely dev.off(), on Windows 7, but not on Windows XP. I therefore don't provide a reproducible example and do not really extract the relevant parts of the script because it has most likely nothing to do with the script itself. I can do it though if you think it might be relevant. R crashes on Windows

Dear users, I have a double for loop that does exactly what I want, but is quite slow. It is not so much with this simplified example, but IRL it is slow. Can anyone help me improve it? The data and code for foo_reg() are available at the end of the email; I preferred going directly into the problematic part. Here is the code (I tried to simplify it but I cannot do it too much or else it

Dear users, When I boxplot(), the lines of the whiskers are dashed. However, when I save in an svg file, the dashed lines of the whiskers are not dashed anymore. How can I have the dashed lines in the svg file? I don't have this problem with a ps file, but I cannot edit such file as easily as an svg file. That's why I'd like to stick to the svg format. Thanks in advance, Ivan df

Dear users, I would like all the ticks on a boxplot (x and y) to be labeled I have checked all the par() arguments but couldn't find what I'm looking for Here is an example to show it: df <- structure(list(SPECSHOR = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 4L, 4L), .Label = c("cotau", "dibic", "eqgre", "gicam"), class =

Dear users, I have a weird questions. A friend of mine, some years ago, supposedly trying to access help files without Internet connection, got something like this error message: "The Pythia is not available, please go to Delphi" When I've heard about it, I found it very funny and I'd like to be able to get it. Does anyone of you know how to get this error message again?

Dear users, I'm trying to learn how to use the "...". I have written a function (simplified here) that uses doBy::summaryBy(): # 'dat' is a data.frame from which the aggregation is computed # 'vec_cat' is a integer vector defining which columns of the data.frame should be use on the right side of the formula # 'stat_fun' is the function that will be run to

Dear users, I am looking for a function to choose a folder interactively, just like file.choose() but for a folder. I have found tcltk::tk_choose.dir() but R hangs when I try to do anything and I have to force exit. I've tried to reinstall tcltk with install.packages(), but "package ?tcltk? is not available (for R version 2.15.2)" even though it's already installed on my

Hey all, I am writing a function in which I will have a matrix of 4 columns and a variable amount of rows. The first to columns will always contain be of the Character type, the third and fourth columns can be a variation of data types, usually characters and integers, but sometimes lists or matrices. At one point the code makes, for each row, a copy of that row, then it makes some adjustments
