Dear R-helpers, I have lat/lon coordinates of regularly spaced grid points, about 4Km apart, covering the entire US continental region. I would like to mask this rectangular grid in order to extract all and only the grid points within a specific region. Today I want to extract Montana, say, from this grid, and I am hoping to somehow use the returned value of the function

I installed R version 2.11.0 (2010-04-22) on may macbook (snow leopard) and run R from within emacs Now when I try to get help, I get > ?lm (in the new "help" window) Error in help("lm", htmlhelp = FALSE) : unused argument(s) (htmlhelp = FALSE) Help! p.s.

Hello I'm trying to render in 3D what I usually plot by image(), or image.plot() from the library fields, followed by a map("world",add=TRUE) type of command. More concretely, I have a field of temperature values, for a given geographic area, and I would like to plot a 3D surface whose x and y axes consist of longitude and latitude values and whose height and color-coding correspond

Hi all I'm running lm()/leaps() kind of computations within a loop, and I submitted the entire thing by sourcing a file of R code in interactive mode. I'd like to interrupt the evaluation of this (it's taking way too long) but I am not able to. I'm running R-1.3.0 from an emacs window (ESS-5.0) and I'm on a linux box, (Debian). I tried Control-c Control-c (nothing happens),

Hi folks, R on ESS Why it is unable to pop up help manual on "R on ESS"? ?layout Error in help("layout", htmlhelp = FALSE) : unused argument(s) (htmlhelp = FALS ?plot Error in help("plot", htmlhelp = FALSE) : unused argument(s) (htmlhelp = FALSE) etc. But they work on R console and popup the manual without problem.

Dear R-helpers, I'm plotting geophysical data in the form of contours using "filled.contour". The display would be much more effective if the areas with negative values could be color coded by -- say -- "cold colors" in the range of blue to green, and conversely the areas with positive values got plotted with "warm colors", from yellow to red. Right now if I use

I'm trying to get R, Sweave, ESS and XEmacs or emacs all installed and working together on my Windows XP Pro system. I've got R 2.6.0 working just fine, installed from the R Windows installer. I also have CYGWIN_NT-5.1 with XEmacs 21.4 working okay. Can anyone point me to any documentation on how to bring these together so that R code typed in Xemacs can be run in R? I found the ESS

Here is the answer to an old question of mine, regarding maps in R Hope this help. claudia ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2001 13:48:05 -0400 From: Kieran Healy <kjhealy at Princeton.EDU> To: Claudia Tebaldi <tebaldi at ucar.edu> Subject: Re: [R] maps in R Hi Claudia -- you can get the maps() library from here:

Hi all I have a dataset whose response is a categorical variable of the ordinal scale type (6 levels). I'm interested in building classification models, and I'm wondering if there is something implemented in R (or its packages) that I'm not aware of, to treat the ordinal scale measurements straightforwardly. I can think of the alternative of building a conditional (hierarchical)

Hello I'm having trouble figuring out how to use the output of "segmented()" with a new set of predictor values. Using the example of the help file: ??set.seed(12) xx<-1:100 zz<-runif(100) yy<-2+1.5*pmax(xx-35,0)-1.5*pmax(xx-70,0)+15*pmax(zz-.5,0)+rnorm(100,0,2) dati<-data.frame(x=xx,y=yy,z=zz) out.lm<-lm(y~x,data=dati) o<-## S3

Hello I have several replicates (30) of a -- short -- time series (19 obs) and I'd like to estimate the first few lags autocorrelation function. Is there an immediate way of handling multiple realizations when computing the ACF in R? I'm using R-1.4.1 on a Linux Debian box. Thanks in advance claudia ------------------------------------------------------------------------- claudia

There is probably an elegant and efficient way to do this -- perhaps already implemented, and some of you knows it. Myself, I'm getting stuck in long loops ... Here is the question: I have a long (80,000 + obs) binary time series. For each of its elements I'd like to compute and save in a vector "the number of steps 'til the first switch of state happens". For example,

Dear R People: I have finally seen the error of my ways and have decided to use ESS for R and S + stuff. However, I have a question right from the beginning. I'm somewhat confused by the installation instructions. Do I install XEMACS or ESS first, please? Windows XP R Version 2.0.1 (S + 6.2) Thanks so much!

Hi I'm trying to print several plots to a multi-page postscript file. Some plots are output of basic commands, some are produced by "trellis" commands (from the package lattice). Right now I'm not able to get a straightforward black and white color scheme for the latter kind: when I open the postscript file the "trellis" plots are invisible, or parts of them are

Hi, I have adviced my students to install R and an editor on a USB drive for working in the computer class. With R everything works fine following these instructions: http://personal.bgsu.edu/~mrizzo/Rmisc/usbR.htm. But several editors (e.g., Tinn-R and WinEdt) require administrator rights. I have found out that Emacs (Vincent Goulet's Emacs for Windows Modified

In a recent post, I reported that help.start worked with Mozilla, although it had not worked before. I now have discovered the difference. I'm using RH Linux 7.1 and Mozilla 0.9.5 and R 1.3.1. When I tried it before, I had use ESS to start R. If I run R without ESS, help.start() will start the browser (Mozilla), but help(apply), for example, will produce help in ESS but not in the browser.

Hi, I decided to try emacs and ess with R, but to no avail. How are these things suppose to work with R - or work, period? I downloaded the latest windows versions of each and installed them as the documentation says. But then the documentation for ess says to add (require 'ess-site) to /.emacs and restart emacs. Where is /.emacs???? I opened the ess-site.el file and it also says to

Hi all I'm plotting colored contour maps using filled.contour. My levels are very unevenly spaced, with, say, high resolution in the small numbers but ranges that can be an order of magnitude or two larger in absolute value compared to where the action takes place. Aside from transforming the data, is there a way to control the color spacing in the key to the right of the map? Right now I
