Hi all, This is Steven with Manning Publications. I wanted to announce the launch of a new R book: R in Action by Rob Kabacoff. Rob was recently interviewed for this piece on Teradata about the growth of R into new fields and the future of R. The book gives thorough coverage of the R environment with dozens of practical examples of its uses. We're doing a one day 50% off deal on the

R community: I would like to add a new title to the bibliography on the R website (http://www.r-project.org/doc/bib/R-books.html), but I cannot find instructions for doing that. Can anyone tell me, whom should I contact in order to add a new book? (I added the title to the wiki's list of books, but the bibliography and the list don't seem to be connected.) Thank you! Paul Paul

Dear all, I'm a big fan and happy user of the Sweave package for routine reporting. From inside a .Rnw script, I'd like to produce the references in bibtex format for each package loaded in the environment, write them in a .bib file and load them back from the \bibliography{bibliography} statement. Is this feasible? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Paolo

Hi Folks, I have created a website with over 70 R tutorials on a wide range of subjects. The site is aimed at data analysts who have an idea about what they would like to do, but don't know how to do it in R. The site should be particularly useful for users of statistical packages like SAS, SPSS, Stata, and Systat who would like to get up and running in R quickly. However, I think that it

Dear R community In a current paper, I'm (briefly) considering the topic of producing scatterplots or maps with point labels positioned in such a way as to minimize label overlap and occlusion. This is a topic with a large, but scattered literature. In CS, it is considered NP-hard, but there are a variety of approximate solutions. The most complete bibliography I've found is the

To the R-help list, In the documentation of the prop.trend.test function in the stats package, no bibliography has been provided which would allow one to find out the theoretical basis of that function and/or details of its implementation. May I suggest that some bibliography be included, as it generally happens with other statistical functions. I currently use R 2.8.0 running on Windows XP.

Sorry for the off-topic question, but I know there are some talented LaTeX users out there. Which bibliography style gives only the year in text citations (e.g "for further details, see Anderson (1992)" )?

Hello R List, I'm trying to run a linear mixed effects analysis on fairly large datasets with lmer (from the lme4 package) on a 32-bit Windows machine running XP with 3 GB of RAM. It's not working. (details below) I've researched the ff and bigmemory packages, but it appears they won't handle the mixed mode dataset I'm analyzing. It has some character fields for the

Hello, I'm currently using a tool that provides a Loess fitting, but I obtained results that are slightly different from those provided by R implementation of the Loess. That's why I would like to know if you could give me a source (bibliography or web) that explains in a clear way each step of the algorithm, with the possible options to choose, etc.. in order for me to understand those

Hello to all, I'm new to R so I have a lot of problems with it, but I'll only ask the main one. I have clustered an environmental matrix with 2 different methods, and I'd like to plot them in a PCA and a db-RDA. I mean, I want see these clusters in the plots like points of differents colours, together with the rest information of the plot, but I don't know how to do this.

I'm using R for calculations and plots in a statistical paper. Is there a canonical reference to use in the bibliography?

Hello everybody :-) I have some data that I want to model with a logistic regression, most of the independent variables are numeric and the only dependent is categorical, I was thinking that I could apply a logistic regression using glm but I wanted to deepen my knowledge of this so I tried to do some reading and found the "iris" dataset, now I would like to ask two things, first

Dear Researches, sorry for the easy and common question. I am trying to justify the idea of RandomForest don't require a transformations (e.g. logarithmic) of variables, comparing this non parametrics method with e.g. the linear regressions. In leteruature to study my phenomena i need to apply a logarithmic trasformation to describe my model, but i found RF don't required this approach.
