Dear developers, I have come across a (somewhat strange) change in the encoding of Sweave output from R-2.9.2pat to R-2.10.0beta (apparently specific to Rgui) on Windows installations. Of course, the NEWS file contains quite a few changes concerning encoding, but I was not able to locate an entry which explains the observed behaviour. I am not very familiar with encodings/locales/codepages,

Hi everybody, somehow i dont get the shapiro wilk test for normality. i just can?t find what the H0 is . i tried : shapiro.test(rnorm(5000)) Shapiro-Wilk normality test data: rnorm(5000) W = 0.9997, p-value = 0.6205 If normality is the H0, the test says it?s probably not normal, doesn ?t it ? 5000 is the biggest n allowed by the test... are there any other test ?

Dear all, i have a problem with processing dataframes within a function using the "$". Here´s my code: recode_items = function(dataframe,number,medium=2){ # this works q<-paste("columna",number,sep="") # this does not work, particularly because "dataframe" is not processed # dataframe should be: givenframe$columnagivennumber

HI there, i know this is a basic question, though i need some help because this is somewhat away from my current issue, but nevertheless interesting to me... Lets assume i have some estimated probabilities, say estimated by a logit model. i know i can also state them as an odds ratio. Now i?d like to state these odds ratios as a reference to a specific outcome of my investigated

Dear all, my R files (and the .csv files as well) are saved somewhere pretty deep down my hard disk. i have to chage to working directory therefore everytime i run R (i run it on powerPC mac), which is disgusting. using the setwd command at the beginning of an R script doesnt really help because i have to find this file first by hand. I am looking for possibility to run setwd during the

Dear helpeRs, on my new machine - Windows 7 64Bit, R 2.15-2, I can no longer source files for which the path contains the o-Umlaut (?). As a historical burden, my username is Gr?mping and contains that Umlaut (I wouldn't have chosen it now, but decided to keep it for easy transfer). I have had the difficulty that I couldn't use the R CMD tools on files with Umlauts in the path (and

Dear all, I am trying to avoid a for loop here and wonder if the following is possible: I have a data.frame with 6 columns and i want to get a cross-correlogram (by using ccf) . Obivously ccf only accepts two columns at once and then returms a list. In fact, with a for loop i?d do the following for (i in 1:6) { x[[i]]=ccf(mydf[,i],mydf[,6]) } Is there any chance to the same with

Hi! I'm having a small network with 10 WinXP Pro computers and a SuSE 7.3 Linux Server. I configured Samba to map the Windows Usernames of 9 computers correctly, but the one, with which Marc D?rner is working, is not mapped correctly. I found out, that this is caused by the "?" (german Umlaut). If the Username is "Marc Doerner" it'll work, but i'd like to keep it to

Dear R-users, please consider the following minimal example: \documentclass[a4paper,titlepage,onecolumn,12pt]{article} \usepackage[italian]{babel} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc} \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx} \begin{document} <<label=test, echo=FALSE, results=tex>>= df.data1 <- cbind.data.frame(A = rnorm(18), B =factor(rep(LETTERS[1:6],

Hi all, though i know this is a simple question, i really hope someone could. I am just trying to compare percents respectively the difference in percents by a simple test. t.test usually compares means and is working like it is supposed to be. Now i wonder how i can use a test in R to test for significant difference between two percentages.

Hi all I love Sweave; use it all the time. But I recently received a new computer, and ever since I have had a problem I've never seen before. For example, I place the following in my Snw file: <<>>= sms <- read.table("http://www.sci.usq.edu.au/staff/dunn/Datasets/applications/popular/smsspeed.dat", header=TRUE) attach(sms) sms.lm <- lm( Time ~ Age*Phone,

Hallo Samba-users, I've got a problem mounting a windows-share via mount / smbmount: The mount itself works without any problem, but when I try to enter a directory with a Umlaut (such as "?,?,?") the command fails. All the umlauts are replaced with a question mark when I "ls" in the directory which contains the directory with the umlaut. Changing the character set
