Dear All, It might be a simple question. But I could not find the answer from function “prcomp” or “princomp”. Does anyone know what are the codes to get coefficient and scores of Principal component analysis in R? Your reply will be appreciated! Best Zunqiu [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, I have used a hold out sample to predict a model but now I want to compute an R squared value for the prediction. Any help is appreciated.

Hi: I am doing some work that involves plotting points of interest superimposed on photographs and maps. I can produce the plots fine in R, but so far I have had to do the superimposition externally, which makes it tedious to do exploratory work. I have looked to see if there is some capability to put a background picture on a plot window, but I have not found anything. Advice, anyone? Cheers

Hi, is there a way to take a data frame with 100+ columns and large data set to do efficient exploratory analysis in R with pairs? I find using pairs on the whole matrix is slow and the resulting matrix is tiny. Also the variable of interest for me is a binary var Y or N . Is there an efficient way to graphically view many variable relationships that does not look teeny ? I could do

Dear R-helpers: I am doing some exploratory programming and am considering a routine that has several other routines defined within it, so that I can avoid a large and messy global re-programming to avoid naming conflicts. My question is this: Because it is interpreted, does R have to re-build these internal routines every time the new routine is called? I'm not overly worried right now

hello, all. in my previous research, i have always used existing data. i am trying something new as an exploratory exercise and have never create my own variable form scratch. essentially, i am creating a variable for party affiliation. here is an example. var =party. levels= democrat, republican, other. respondents will indicate which category they fall under. for the sake of ease, i will

Hi, I am trying to add a function in a linear quantile regresion to find a breakpoint. The function I want to add is: y=(k+ax)(x<B)+(k+(a-d)B+dx)(x>B) How do I write it in the rq() function? Do I need to define the parameters in any way and how do I do that? I'm a biologist new to R. Thanks! -- View this message in context:

Hi, I got the following comment from the reviewer of a paper (describing an algorithm implemented in R) that I submitted to BMC Bioinformatics: "Finally, which useful for exploratory work and some prototyping, neither R nor S-Plus are appropriate environments for deploying user applications that would receive much use." I can certainly respond by pointing out that CRAN contains

Hi there, I would like some advice, not so much about how to use R, but about software that I need to complement R. I've rooted around in the FAQ's and done a few searches on this mailing list but haven't quite found the perspective I need. I am an experienced data analyst in my field (forest ecology and ecological monitoring) but new to R. I am a long time user of SPSS and have

Hi, It''s been forever and a day since I last posted here, mainly because I haven''t touched Xen in a few years now due to job changes... But now I''ve been handed a project to work with XenServer, Citrix''s commercial grade Xen. So, I wanted to ask if there were any people here with experience using XenServer, XenCenter and so on, or if you knew of a better list

Apologies for the obvious, but just to clarify: there is no reason to "justify" a PCA -- it's just an eigen decomposition of a matrix and is therefore "justified" by linear algebra. If one wants to determine whether some subset of the eigenvectors = principal components suffice to "represent" the data in some sense, then that is where distributional

hello, I am trying to do exploratory factor analysis with BRFSS dataset ( http://www.cdc.gov/brfss/technical_infodata/surveydata/2008.htm) for a couple of days, but I was not able to do that and got frustrated. Can anybody help me with step by step guide? BRFSS dataset provides ASCII or SAS format. Thank you. chloe [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi list, I'm performing a series of confirmatory factor analysis on different groupings of items from data collected with questionnaires. There are some missing values. For those sets with no missing values I call factanal(datamatrix,factors=n) where datamatrix is a table of all observations for the items under investigation. This call fails when there are missing values. help(factanal)

Hi, I keep facing problems with autotest, and I don''t know what''s happening in the background, is there anyway to know what''s happening while testing?

Hello dear R-helpers, I'm working with R-2.15.2 on Windows 7 OS. I'm stucked with a merge of two data frames by characters. In each data frame I got two different list of names, that is my main-key to be merged. To figure out what I'm saying, I build up a modified "?merge" example, with errors by purpose: # Data for authors: authors <- data.frame( surname =

Dear List, I am looking to perform exploratory analyses of two (relatively) large datasets of categorical data. The first one is a binary 80x100 matrix, in the form: matrix(sample(c(0,1),25,replace=TRUE), nrow = 5, ncol=5, dimnames = list(c( "group1", "group2","group3", "group4","group5"), c("V.1", "V.2", "V.3",
