I'm trying to find a good open source software to do sales forecasting using Holt Winters and Box Jenkins time series algorithm. Somebody pointed me that R is the best open source available for statistical computing. Are there functions to do Holt Winters and Box Jenkins time series prediction in R? If there is none, can some one point me a good GNU/freeware to do the sales forecasting using

Hi again R People: I have the following time series: >x.ts Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep 2000 0.95 0.66 0.83 0.66 -1.45 -1.25 0.33 1.03 -0.48 2001 2.55 1.21 -1.10 -0.63 0.01 -2.20 -0.51 1.12 1.11 2002 -1.37 0.55 -0.63 -0.56 0.92 -1.73 0.59 0.77 0.30 2003 0.55 -0.01 -0.54 2.27 -1.29 -0.23 0.09 -0.50 -0.61 Oct Nov Dec 2000 0.84 -1.35

Hi R People: Here is a simple set of commands: >x1 <- 1:10 >x2 <- sqrt(x1) >plot(x1) >points(x2,col="red",pch=3) >legend(2,8,legend=c("First","Second"),col=c("black","red"),pch=c(1,3)) > Fine. Now, I would like to put the legend box on the outside of the plot itself, perhaps in the lower left hand corner. I've been

I'm working my way up the learning curve for R. A method of learning I find very effective is to work through an existing program. Are there any libraries or archives of R programs on the web ? If not, would this be a good idea for the R website ? I hope this is not a FAQ: I have checked as far as I can. Best Wishes, Martin Holt

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!

Dear list, I would like to produce a matrix of plots, where par() is reset after each plot (see below [simplified] example). When I use layout() to do so, I seem to also reset the layout. I have not been able to figure out how to prevent this from happening. Any help is greatly appreciated! Janke Example code: #Desired result is a layout of 2 plots: one red and one black layout(matrix(1:2,

Hi, I'd like to know if the Holt-Winters function in R can modify the alpha paremeter in an "intelligent" way. I know it can vary from 0 to 1. Wich mathematical formula does it use to calculate the correct value of alpha? Thanks, bye. Carlo

Dear R : Sorry for the off topic question, but does anyone know the reference for the -2 Ln Lambda following a Chi Square distribution, please? Possibly one of Bartlett's? Thanks in advance! Sincerely, Laura Holt mailto: lauraholt_983 at hotmail.com

Hi R people: I would like to learn about classes, methods, S3 and S4. Which book would be the most helpful for this info, please: the green one or the white(and blue) one?

Dear R People: I have a data frame with some columns that are numeric and some which are factors. There are zeros in the numeric columns and I would like to change them to NAs. However, there are zeros in some of the factor columns, and I would like them to be left alone. Is there a "global" way to do this, please? I was thinking about use the results from "str" but am

I need to be able to send an sms alert to one's mobile/cell phone. For instance, when I receive a voicemail message in my inbox, I also want to be able to get a message on my cell phone alerting me of this e-mail. How possible is this? And if it is, what do I need to do to get the service up and running? Ideas are most welcome. Thanks, Julius.

I have been trying to figure out whether I can enable write caching on my PATA hard drives (WD3200JB) and have fsync not return until data is safely on the platters. I am also running software raid. This is currently on FC5 (though soon to be FC6) with a 2.6.18 kernel. >From snippets I have found on the net, it looks like write barriers are pushed down through software raid when using raid 1.

Hi there! Is ROracle available for Windows, please? I found a download site, but it's really for UNIX/Linux. Here is a "thought question", please: Why do the vector elements start at location 1 rather than zero, as C does? Thanks in advance!

I just installed Wine version 20010904-1 on RH7.1. libntdll.so is in /usr/lib/wine but even though I have defined the WINEDLLPATH to include that directory, when I try to run wine I get an error message that says... wine: error while loading shared libraries: libntdll.so: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory. What's up? Jack C. Holt SAIC, Wireless Systems Group

Hi, Are SQLite users that are worried about losing data that has been committed (fsynced) better off setting data=journal than data=ordered (or even data=writeback)? The context is trying to reduce the number of writes to a flash file-system without sacrificing data integrity in the event of a power failure or OS crash. Thanks, Dan Kennedy.

Dear R People: I would like to generate a vector/variable name from within a loop to be passed to a table function. This is what I have so far: >assign("p1",paste("raw3.df$",rw2$V1[3],sep="")) >p1 [1] "raw3.df$CITIZEN" > Essentially, I want to use the raw3.df$CITIZEN along with another value to generate a table. However, I'm stuck here. I

Dear R People: I used the "Surv" function to produce the following object: >a <- Surv(1:4,2:5,c(0,1,1,0)) a [1] (1,2+] (2,3 ] (3,4 ] (4,5+] >str(a) Error in "[.Surv"(object, 1:ile) : subscript out of bounds > Why does str(a) give an error, please? Or did I do something wrong? Thanks in advance. R Version 1.9.1 Windows Sincerely, Laura Holt mailto: lauraholt_983
