Dear Sirs, I am exploring the R package and its documentation. I find there is the function example which runs examples from documentation pages. What confuses me is that running example interferes with the variables I have in my workspace. > x <- 0 > example(mean) > x Now x is a vector of some values coming from the example. Am I using example in the wrong way? In situation like

R community, As you may know, R's iconv doesn't work well converting to and from encodings that allow embedded nulls. For example > iconv("foo", to="UTF-16") Error in iconv("foo", to = "UTF-16") : embedded nul in string: '\xff\xfef\0o\0o\0' However, I don't believe embedded nulls are at issue here, but rather that R's iconv

Hello, I spent quite some time now searching for any hint that R can also be used to address the interfaces of a computer (i.e. RS232 or USB) to acquire data from measurement devices (like with the - I think it is the - devices or serial toolbox of Matlab). Is there any package available or a project going on that you know of? I would so much like to have never to work with Matlab again. The

Hello, I would like to compress a long string (character vector), store the compressed string in the text field of a SQLite database (using RSQLite), and then load the text back into memory and decompress it back into the the original string. My character vector can be compressed considerably using standard gzip/bzip2 compression. In theory it should be much faster for me to compress/decompress

Hello all, I am new to R and my question should be trivial. I need to create a word cloud from a txt file containing the words and their occurrence number. For that purposes I am using the snippets package [1]. As it can be seen at the bottom of the link, first I have to create a vector (is that right that words is a vector?) like bellow. > words <- c(apple=10, pie=14, orange=5, fruit=4)

Dear R-users, Is there an R function to compute the multinomial beta function? That is, the normalizing constant that arises in a Dirichlet distribution. For example, with three parameters the beta function is Beta(n1,n2,n2) = Gamma(n1)*Gamma(n2)*Gamma(n3)/Gamma(n1+n2+n3) Thanks in advance for any assisstance.

Hi, I am doing some computation which is pretty time consuming, I want R to display CPU time after each iteration using the command Sys.time(). However, I found that the code only began to display the CPU time after quite a while and several iterations have finished. Is there a way to ask R to display time right after each iteration is finished? Thanks, -Jun [[alternative HTML version

R 2.15.1 OS 10.7 Colleagues I have been an enthusiastic user of the sas7bdat package in R. However, several recent sas7bdat files sent to me from different sources cannot be read by the package. The error message is: Error in read.sas7bdat(FILENAME) : unknown host W32_7PRO please report bugs to sas7bdatRbugs at gmail.com I examined the file with a text editor and it contains

Hi, I am trying to call a C function, that I wrote to parse a flat file, into R. The argument that will go into this function is an input file that I need to parse and write the desired output in an output file. I used some hit and trial approach but i keep on getting the "file not found" or "segmentation fault" error. I know that the error is in passing the argument but I

hi all - i'm working on an R package that makes use of my own shared library written in C. but i also am making use of another C-written library. (my package is for facilitating biological namespace translations via online (i.e. up-to-date) biological databases.) problem is, the library i'm using is not a standard library (i.e. i doubt it will be installed on most users' machines). i

Hello UseRs, I need help on how to plot several raster images (such as those obtained from a kernel-smoothed intensity function) in a layout such as that obtained from the lattice package. I would like to obtain something such as obtained from using the "levelplot" or "xyplot" in lattice. I currently use: >par(mfrow=c(3,3) to set the workspace, but the resulting plots

I appreciate that this is OT, but I'd be grateful for pointers to examples of where Sweave has been used for web-based applications. In particular, examples of where reports/analyses are produced automatically through submission of data to a web-sever. I am mostly interested in situations where pdf reports have been produced rather than, say, a plot/table etc shown on a web page.

I have installed both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of R2.12.0 (2010-06-15 r52300) on my Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit system. I observe the following behavior when running the examples from base::connections. There appears to be a problem with seek() on a .gz file when using a 32-bit installation of R2.12.0, but the problem doesn't appear in the 64-bit installation. I realize that seek() has been

Hello, While assisting a fellow R-helper off list, I narrowed down an issue he was having to the following behavior of type.convert, called through read.table. This is using R 2.10.1, if newer versions don't exhibit this behavior, apologies. # generates numeric vector > type.convert(c("123.42", "NA")) [1] 123.42 NA # generates a numeric vector, notice the

Hello! I need to make a plot with whispers that does the following. Reads in 50 files, each file containing 200 data points. A file looks like this: base100.log Send Receive 10.5 100.3 15.0 102.4 ... There are 100 lines, each with two data points. I need to read in the 50 files, and plot three lines The first line is the mean of the send column with whiskers indicating standard deviation

Dear all, I am a biologist. I have two sets of distance P(start1, end1) and Q(start2, end2). The distance will be like this. P ------------------------ Q ---------------------------------------- I want to know whether P falls closely to the right end or left end of Q. P and Q are of different lengths for each data point. There are more than 10000 pairs of P and Q. Is there any test or
