Dear R listers, When using smooth.spline to interpolate data, results are generally good. However, some cases produce totally unreasonable results. The data are values of pressure, temperature, and salinity from a probe that is lowered into the ocean, and the objective is to interpolate temperature and salinity to specified pressures. While smooth.spline provides excellent values at the

Okay, I want to do something similar to SAS proc format. I usually do this... a <- NULL a$divisionOld <- c(1,2,3,4,5) divisionTable <- matrix(c(1, "New England", 2, "Middle Atlantic", 3, "East North Central", 4, "West North Central", 5,

I have tried glm.nb in the MASS package, but many models (I have 250 models with different combinations of predictors for fish counts data) either fail to converge or even diverge. I'm attempting to use the negbin function in the AOD package, but am unsure what to use for the "random" term, which is supposed to provide a right hand formula for the overdispersion parameter.

The University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (RSMAS) is seeking a research associate to work with hydrographic data. The objective of the project is to develop statistical models for estimating salinity and density from observations of temperature together with knowledge of location and time. Because the relationship between salinity and temperature can be

Dear Helpers: I'm trying to use packages "maps" and "mapdata" (see blow) to display the research resutls on map (Mid-Atlantic region). In particular, I need to mark a number of points in the map by giving their latitude and longitude information. For instance, I would like to mark a point on (long, lat) =(75.56027, 39.09271). Also, I need to mark several cities that I

Hi, I have an OpenSMTPD / Dovecot installation on an OpenBSD server. I recently came across an issue where Dovecot LMTP would reject a message sent to a local user from an address which contains a single apostrophe (e.g. firstname.o'lastname at example.com). Apparently apostrophe, as well as a number of other special characters, are valid characters in the local part of the email address

Hi all, I have created forest plots using the package "meta" that I submitted as pdf for publication. I just received an email from the editor asking me if I could send these files in an Excel or MS Word format such that they can treat them as tables with box plots. I am not sure if I can do this... Is this possible? I've tried the capture.output command, but I get a blank MS Word

Hi, I've been using nut for a while on a UPS with the generic driver. It has worked well. Thankyou. I've just installed a new UPS 'INVERTER Atlantic Star T3' and their documentation speaks of megatec. So I tried it. And I get lots of wonderful information I'm not used to seeing. # upsc my_sai at localhost battery.charge: 100.0 battery.voltage: 2.31 battery.voltage.nominal:

My business is somewhat trans-atlantic. Does anyone know if Asterisk's DTMF processing is: a) European OR US b) European AND US c) It's hardware dependent you fool. d) here's a better answer thanks :-)

Dear R People: Here is a very simple question, please: I have a data frame with the state name, state division, and population. Note: state division is something like Atlantic, Mountain, etc. I want to produce a table with the state division and the total of the populations for the states within that division. I've been messing with "table" but so far, no luck. This is R1.3.1,

Hello, might be rather easy for R pros, but I've been searching to the dead end to ... twsource.area <- table(twsource, area, useNA="ifany") gives me a nice cross tabulation of frequencies of two factors, but now I want to convert to pecentages of those absolute values. In addition I'd like an extra column and an extra row with absolute sums. I know, Excel or the

We run Samba, but wish to authenticate against Windows DC. We do this using the "security = server" mode. We don't have the option of being part of the Windows setup directly. Although authentication is done against Windows DC (so users are not prompted for passwords) users do need a Unix account to use the service. We have users in multiple Windows domains, and the DCs we

I have a data assimilation problem that might be amenable to the use of GAMS, but I am not sure how feasible it is to implement. I was told the R mailing list was a great resource. My observations are spatiotemporal salinity in the San Francisco Bay at a number of instruments over a few days. The thing that I want to fit is the initial condition for a salt transport model at the beginning of this

Hi- I'm using IAX between two boxes, where one box is located in US and the second in Europe. I'm trying to achieve the best voice quality and mainly reliability between these boxes and looking for hints and experience of others. Facts: - Asterisk 1.0.7 - RTT varies from 130-170 ms, depends on time and actual Internet throughput Questions: - What is the sugested codec for such setup?

Hello, Although your message is not very explicit about the structure of your data frame, I think you can get what you want by using a combination of the function "split" and the "apply" functions family: apply, lapply and sapply. If you provide a more detailed organization of your data frame, perhaps we can give to you a more wiser advice. Thanks, Carlos. P.S: By the way,

Can someone point me to the appropriate functions for fitting multiple statistical models that are coupled to each other. The data are measurements of salinity s and temperature t at stations id and pressures at p as well as surface elevations h at stations id. The problem is, for any new station, to estimate s at all p, given t at all p and given h. If h is ignored, the for each p, there
