similar to: Advice on recoding a variable depending on another which contains NAs

Dear colleagues, I have a problem which has bitten me occasionally. I often need to prepare graphs for many variables in a data set, but seldom for all. or for any large number of sequential or sequentially named variables. Often I need several graphs for different subsets of the dataset for a given variable. I run into similar problems with other needs besides graphing. What I would like to

Hi, As part of the analysis of a longitudinal study, I have a list, called wg, on R 1.3.1 for windows created as follows - wg <- by(xx, xx$mrn, function(xx) lm(xx$maternal.wt ~ xx$gestation, data=xx)) xx is a data.frame, and so wg contains the results of 293 linear regressions, as lm objects. Now what I want is to extract the 293 intercepts and regression coefficients as a vector, and

Hi, I think I'm missing something very obvious, but I am missing it, so I would be very grateful for help. I'm using rpart to analyse data on skull base morphology, essentially predicting sex from one or several skull base measurements. The sex of the people whose skulls are being studied is known, and lives as a factor (M,F) in the data. I want to get back predictions of gender, and

Hi, I would be grateful for help with a problem which is irritating me. I am quite sure that I am doing something stupid, but I can't see what it is. I am running R 1.7 on Windows 2000. The graphics device is the PC screen. The graphics from the nlme demonstration in Bates an Pinheiro's manual work just as advertised. The CO2 data and the Orthodont data dsiplay

Hi, I'm analysing some anthropometric data on fifty odd skull bases. We know the gender of each skull, and we are trying to develop a predictor to identify the sex of unknown skulls. Rpart with cross-validation produces two models - one of which predicts gender for Males well, and Females poorly, and the other does the opposite (Females well, and Males poorly). In both cases the error

Hi, I have a valid SPSS .sav file (which I can open happily in SPSS v11 on Windows XP). Opening it in R2.41 on Linux we get this message :- > HSE3023 <- read.spss("HSE.sav") Error in read.spss("HSE.sav") : error reading system-file header In addition: Warning message: HSE.sav: Variable X234 indicates variable label of invalid length 256 Now variable X234 has indeed a

Dear colleagues, This may be a question with a really obvious answer, but I can't find it. I have access to a large file with real medical record identifiers (mixed strings of characters and numbers) in it. These represent medical events for many thousands of people. It's important to be able to link events for the same people. It's much more important that the real record numbers

Hi, This code is trying to produce a series of graphics files, with plots of male and female disease rates by age, one plot per disease. The dataframe contains a variable 'Age' and a set of variables called 'Male_CVD, Female_CVD,Male_RTA,Female_RTA, and so on. For each disease, I want to pull out the column of data containing the word 'Male' and plot this against age, and then

Hi, I would be very grateful for advice on getting confidence intervals for the ordinary (non smoothed) parameter estimates from a gam. Motivation I am studying hospital outcomes in a large data set. The outcomes of interest to me are all binary variables. The one in the example here, Dead30d, is death within 30 days of admission. Sexf is gender (M or F), Age is age in years at the start

Hi all, Somewhat of a newbie's question, hope you can help me out. I'm trying to turn unconditional BranchInst's into conditional ones (with a condition I'm supplying) branching between the original target and a basic block of my choice. Apparently the way to do that is to create a new conditional BranchInst and remove the unconditional one from its basic block. However when

Hi, I'd be grateful for help with the following:- Running R version 2.9.2 (2009-08-24) on Gentoo Linux, on an x86 PC. I am trying to install maptools, (via CRAN from maptools_0.7-29.tar.gz'), for the first time. All runs smoothly until the installation gets to "*** installing help indices" for spCbind-methods, about two thirds of the way through the help files, at which point

Installing rJava fails consistently, whether installed via the command line as below, or through "install.packages( 'rJava' )", and whether 0.84 or 0.85 is used, with the message :- "checking JNI data types... configure: error: One or more JNI types differ from the corresponding native type. You may need to use non-standard compiler flags or a different compiler in order to
