Dear list, Please consider the following call of sort > sort(c("a","f")) [1] "a" "f" > sort(c("f","a")) [1] "a" "f" > > sort(c("aa","ff")) [1] "ff" "aa" > sort(c("ff","aa")) [1] "ff" "aa" The last two results look strange

Hi, the following R lines work fine in R 2.4.0, but not in R 2.4.1 or any devel versions of R 2.5.0 (see below for details). library(drc) # to load the dataset 'PestSci' library(nlme) ## Setting starting values sv <- c(0.43355869, 2.49963220, 0.05861799, 1.73290589, 0.38153146, 0.24316978) ## No error m1 <- nlme(SLOPE ~ c + (d-c)/(1+exp(b*(log(DOSE)-log(e)))), fixed =

Dear list members, is it intentional that: curve(cos, xlim = c(-5, 5)) plot(cos, xlim = c(-5, 5)) produce different plots? Shouldn't the 'xlim' argument in both cases set the 'from' and 'to' argument if they aren't supplied (at least that's what I understood reading the help page for 'curve' and 'plot.function')?

Dear friends - I am trying to understand fda and working with the 2009 book from Springer. I run the scripts directly from a new installed fda library and include sessionInfo() below. This is from the script fdarm-ch09.R - I seem to have got not fda_2.2.8 but 2.2.7 - is that the problem? Where do I get .8 as I just reinstalled?

Dear R-listers, I am using R for Windows Vista 64-bit. I have no experience working with maps, but now I have to plot a map of Denmark in which each Danish county is color-coded according to its incidence rate of a particular disease. My problem is that I don't know where to start. I have read the help files to packages like 'mapplot', and their examples indicate that I am on the

Dear R-listers, I am trying to assign colnames to a data frame within a loop, but I keep getting a "target of assignment expands to non-language object"-error. I need to split up a large dataset into about 20 smaller ones, and I would like to assign colnames within the loop, so I won't have to type the same thing 20 times over. I have concocted this really goofy example which

Hi, I am writing an Sweave document and am using 'xtable' to make frequency tables of diagnoses of people undergoing cholecystectomy. Some of these diagnoses contain Danish characters ("?", "?", and "?"), and these characters are all garbled in the Latex document after I run Sweave. The odd thing is, everything looks absolutely right in the R console, and if

Dear friends - I have a data.frame with "," instead of "." and found the discussion http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/How-to-replace-all-commas-with-semicolon-in-a-string-tt4721187.html#a4721192 so copying the code of Ulrik(I hope:-)) I tried (making some data) AX <-

The example in the help file for pdf() plots the characters outside the plotting area in this for loop: for(i in c(32:255)) { x <- i y <- i points(x, y, pch=i) } The following loop seems to be working as intended for(i in c(32:255)) { x <- (i-31)%%16 y <- (i-31)%/%16 points(x, y, pch=i) } As an extra

And as follow up, fff<-function(x) gsub(",", ".", x) BX <- apply(apply(AX, 2, fff), 2, as.numeric) this seems to be easier. Cheers Petr S pozdravem | Best Regards RNDr. Petr PIKAL Vedouc?

Dear all, I would like to know how can I retrieve a data.frame without the columns that have a partial match name. Let´s say that I have a data.frame with 200 columns and 100 of them have the name "StartX", with X being the unique part for each column name. I want to delete all columns that have the name starting with "Start". I´ve tried to do this but it doesn´t work: >

Dear all, I would like to know how can I create a binned column in a data.frame. The output that I would like is something like this: Start Binned_Start 1 0-5 2 0-5 6 5-10 8 5-10 13 10-15 ...

Dear all, Can I do a permutation test if the number of individuals in one group is much bigger than in the other group? I searched the literature but I didin´t find any assumption that refers to this subject for permutation tests.

Dear all, I would like to know how can I concatenate 2 data.frames into a single one. Both data frames have the same number of columns and the same class type in each correspondent column. So what I want is to have a new data.frame where I have first the values from one data.frame and then the values from a second data.frame would came after in this new data.frame. Thanks in advance.

Dear all, I was trying to see how the function 'confint' is defined. Doing > confint function (object, parm, level = 0.95, ...) UseMethod("confint") <environment: namespace:stats> does not really enlighten me. How can I get to see the implementation (I guess it should be possible according to the general philosophy of the R project)? Thanks in advance S??ren

Hola. yo soy usuario SAS y ahora estoy intentando comenzar a trabajar en R. Estoy necesitando leer archivos de datos que tengo en formato SAS. Se que esta el package foreing que permite leer directamente datos que se encuentran en ese formato. Alguien podria indicarme como lo debo hacer. Solo quiero leer algunas variables dado que el archivo es extenso. Muchas gracias. Silvia.

Hello, I am trying to run "RCMD check" on a package. It performs OK, with the exception of a single warning: * checking package vignettes in 'inst/doc' ...

Dear all I imported a Stata .dta file with the read.dta-function from the foreign-package. The dataframe's dimensions are > dim(d.apc) [1] 15806 1300 Importing needs up to 15 min and calculations with these data are rather slow (although I subset the data before starting analyses). My questions are: 1. Has someone experiences importing Stata files (alternatives to read.dta) ? 2.
