similar to: Fwd: \ell symbol (log-likelihood)

Dear R experts---is it possible to plot the \ell symbol in R under the pdf device? ?the following did not work: pdf(file="ell.pdf"); plot( c(0,1), c(0,1) ); text( 0.5, 0.5, "\u2113" ) dev.off() my guess is that this cannot be done, but I thought I would ask.

Is it possible to use the '\ell' (i.e. the log likelihood) in plots? I've been browsing the plotmath documentation unsucesfully.

Just to add to this (I've been looking through the archive) problem with display unicode fonts in pdf document in R If you can use the Cairo package to create pdf on Mac, it seems quite happy with pushing unicode characters through (probably still font family dependant whether it will display) probstring <- c(' \u2264 0.2',' \u2268 0.4',' \u00FC 0.6',' \u2264

Hi there, I am trying to put the LATEX symbol \ell in the title of a graph, do you know how to do it? Thanks. Lydia

dear R-experts---can someone please refer me to the latest installation instructions for graphics fonts in R (the pdf device)? (I would like to install the Charter font from the texlive 2011 distribution under OSX.) sincerely, /iaw ---- Ivo Welch (ivo.welch at gmail.com)

I think I found a bug in the Cairo library, plus weird behavior in both the Cairo and the normal pdf device. The baseline of the spades symbol seems to be off. This is easier to show than it is to explain. The problem does not appear in the normal pdf device, which is why I am guessing this is a Cairo bug. moreover, I cannot figure out why three of the card symbols seem to be transparent, but

dear R experts---I am struggling with the requirements to prepare my files for my printers. I am printing in 2/2 format, which means cyan and black for me, which they take from my color-separated pdf files. R comes into play, because it produces all the figures that are embedded in my book (pdflatex). now, TeX has no problems producing CMYK files. However, R produces RGB files (for

A student entered some data with text characters like epsilon and alpha. On her Windows system, the Greek letters did not display properly in a plot. There were some ordinary ASCII instead. I asked her to send me the code so I could test. For me, the plot looks ok on the screen. Format1 <- c(320,500,700,1000,500,320,700,500,320) Format2 <- c(800,1000,1150,1400,1500,1650,1800,2300,2500)

Dear R experts--- Has anyone written parallel versions of "by" (i.e., mcby) and "ave" (i.e. mcave) ? I did ask a question like this a year ago, and then the answer was no. for those who are googling the group for the answer to this question, in the meantime, the poor man's version of "by" is mclapply( split( ds, factor ), FUN ) I don't know the poor

For the question at the end, try barplot with the horiz=TRUE argument.

Dear R experts--- I doubt that someone has already solved my problem, but I thought I would ask quickly, just in case someone has. Let' say I start with a (flattened panel) model that says y[i] = x[i] + b*(T-x[i]) easy enough---this is just a linear model. I could also make this a fixed-effects model if I change T to T[fmid], where fmid is the firm's id. I know I can do this

dear R experts---now I have a case where I want to estimate very large regression models with many fixed effects---not just the mean type, but cross-fixed effects---years, months, locations, firms. Many millions of observations, a few thousand variables (most of these variables are interaction fixed effects). could someone please point me to packages, if any, that would help me estimate such

dear R experts---quick question. I need to estimate a model that looks like y = (b*T+d*T^3) + (1-b-3*d*T^2)*x + (3*d*T)*x^2 + (-d)*x^3 I only have three parameters. Is nls() the right tool for the job, or is there something faster/better? /iaw ---- Ivo Welch (ivo.welch@brown.edu, ivo.welch@gmail.com) [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R experts: this is probably correct behavior, but I do want to point out that it is unexpected to someone not too well versed: > test=factor("A","B","C","A") > ifelse(test=="A", as.factor("A"), test) [1] 1 2 3 1 ok, my factor was just coerced into integers, even though I have a logical vector as my condition and factors as

I have a set of functions that I always load on startup. for example, there is my now infamous "is.defined()" function. I would like to add some documentation for these functions, so that I can do a ?is.defined inside R. The documentation tells me how to mark up Rd files is very good, but I wonder how one installs them for access by the R executable (on OSX for me). Do I drop

Dear R experts: I searched cran (and r-help) for "nash equilibrium" and "game" but nothing stuck out. has someone written a numerical nash optimizer for two players? player a has choices x1,x2,x3,... and cares about (maximizes) pa(x1,x2,x3,...,y1,y2,y3) player b has choices y1,y2,y3,..., and cares about (maximizes) pb(x1,x2,x3,...,y1,y2,y3) I can tune it to my problem, but

quick programming questions. I want to "turn on" more errors. there are two traps I occasionally fall into. * I wonder why R thinks that a variable is always defined in a data frame. > is.defined(d) [1] FALSE > d= data.frame( x=1:5, y=1:5 ) > is.defined(d$z) [1] TRUE > is.defined(nonexisting$garbage) [1] TRUE this is a bit unfortunate
