I am still struggling to map a character string to an object name and vice versa in R. I thought the as.name() function might work, but observe the following behaviour ... > attach(warpbreaks) > levels(tension) [1] "L" "M" "H" > levels(as.name("tension")) NULL > objectname<-as.name("tension") > objectname tension >

Dear List, No doubt I am going around this the wrong way, and hopefully one of you will be able to tell me how to go about it the right way. I want to change the names of an object inside a function and have it stay changed in the global environment. I can only effect the change inside the function as follows ... >

Dear List, Hopefully someone will point me to a piece of documentation that I have overlooked. I am running Rscript successfully to read and execute an R program, but have failed to find the correct syntax to route the output to a file using the Rscript command that invokes the job. I tried Rscript -e 'sink("outputfile")' script.R , but it then ignored the scriptfile. I know

This is hopefully a trivial problem for list subscribers, but I am very new to writing R functions. I wish to call an R function written by myself from another program to fit a model. I need to tell it which of the independent variables are factors. I need to do this in a generic way, so that when the list is passed, R will work through the variables in the data frame and coerce them into being

Dear List, I am writing a function in R with the facility to store models for later use in scoring. It would be very useful if I could include in the name of the file stored the name of the model object being stored, this name being chosen by the user in the function call. A simple function to store the name of an object as a character string would fit the bill, but I have not found one. name()

Dear List, I'm trying to find a way to extract the individual conditional inference trees from cforest ( a modelling function in the party package) in a manner analogous to getTree in randomForest and I'm struggling. I can see that the information is held within the ensemble list, but haven't been able to work out how this sequence of nested lists is structured or if any of the items

I have been learning how to use these functions and would like to know the following as I have so far been unable to find the answers in the documentation. 1) What stopping rules are used ? 2) Can the stopping rules be changed? 3) Can the results of each step be stored as objects in R and if so how ? 4) Is there a worked example somewhere of using the keep= argument ? Many thanks in

I need to be able to send an sms alert to one's mobile/cell phone. For instance, when I receive a voicemail message in my inbox, I also want to be able to get a message on my cell phone alerting me of this e-mail. How possible is this? And if it is, what do I need to do to get the service up and running? Ideas are most welcome. Thanks, Julius.

Hi all I have been googling and wiki-ing and have found a number of potential solutions to my questions, but I don't want to have to play about for too long and risk messing up my * box now I've just got it working, if one of you kind folk could offer your 2 penneth, (being a Brit I'll have none of this cents business ;] ). I want to send an SMS message whenever I get a voicemail

Good morning R community, I have two questions (and a comment): 1) A problem with odfWeave. I have an odf document with a table that spans multiple pages. Each cell in the table is populated using \sexpr{<R stuff>}. This worked fine on my own machine (windows 7 box using any R2.x.y, for x>=11) and on a colleagues machine (Windows XP box running R2.11.1). However, on a third machine

Dear all, As I couldn't find any thread on the internet I hope the help-list might help me out. I've tried to update Rtools from R210 used in combination with R2.9.1 to R211 in combination with R2.11.1. However, I do not succeed. I have R2.11.1 running, as well as Inno Setup 5, HTML help and MikTex. A version of Perl is installed too. Environment variable paths are set to link to these

I have a problem getting Windows 98 clients printing to CUPS printers where I have the printer access allowed/denied by username. It appears that samba is passing the username in uppercase to CUPS as the owner of the printjob and then CUPS does not recognise that username and rejects the job. It all works under Windows NT/XP. I am running samba 3.0.20 and cups 1.1.23. The smb.conf file is below

Dear useRs: I try to plot an rpart object but cannot get a nice tree structure plot. I am using plot.rpart and text.rpart (please see below) but the branches that connect the nodes overlap the text in the ellipses and rectangles. Is there a way to get a clean nice tree plot (as in the Rpart Mayo report)? I work under Windows and use R2.11.1 with rpart version 3.1-46. Thank you. Tudor ...

Hello, This is a re-submittal of question I submitted last week, but haven't rec'd any responses. I need to extract the probabilities used to construct the barplots displayed as part of the graph produced by plot("ctree"). For example, library(party) iris.ct <- ctree(Species ~ . , data = iris) plot(iris.ct) Instead of a simple example with only 4 terminal nodes, my

How can one interrupt the following gracefully: while(TRUE){ Sys.sleep(1) } In R2.11.1 under Emacs+ESS, some sequence of ctrl-g, ctrl-c eventually worked for me. Under Rgui 2.11.1, the only way I've found was to kill R. Suggestions on something more graceful? Beyond this, what would you suggest to update a real-time report when new data arrives in a certain

I have a factor vector of subject races (Asian, Black, Hispanic, White; n=30) that I want to plot with a Cleveland dotplot or dotchart. I tried the following in R2.12.1 : > dotchart(table(school$Race)) Error in plot.xy(xy.coords(x, y), type = type, ...) : invalid plot type Using the same data set in R2.11.1 the operation succeeded (I tried several variations to be sure): >

I thought it might be of interest to the group to pass on information about a replacement SMS command we have developed for sending text messages from Asterisk. The FASTSMS command will route text messages to mobile phones in 154 countries. Applications include voicemail notifications, missed call alerts, automated text receipts for callers (e.g. call reference number), system alerts, etc, etc.

Hello, I teach statistics and use R Commander for teaching. I have 2 students out of 169 that can't get scatterplots or plot to work. I have had them update packages, restart R/R Commander/their computers and even reinstall R/R Commander. One is using Windows 7 on a new pc and the other is a pc user (not sure the OS). They are both using R2.11.1 and R Commander 1.6-0. The data look like

Hi, guys, I'm trying to create a PDC using Samba with an LDAP backend. According to all the guides I read, this should be fairly easy really, but I've done nothing else for the last week and it still doesn't work the way the manual says it should! As far as I can see, everything is set up and working correctly right up to the point when I try and join a machine to the domain.

Hi, I'm in need of some help with moving a Samba PDC with LDAP backend from Fedora linux to RHEL. The DNS is also running on that server and needs to be moved also. The DNS and LDAP migration was simple enough. The new server works just fine when using it's own DNS and LDAP for authentication, and all the users appear to be intact after the LDAP import. nss_ldap is working just fine.
