Hi I know how to referenc R in a scientific paper - but is there a standardised way to reference packages?

Hi I am trying to install the package "pheno", but it needs the package "nprq" by Roger Koenker et al. which I can I find this package? It does not seem to be on CRAN and googling also doesn't give me an URL - is it still somewhere available?

Hi I upgraded to R 2.10.0, and I encounter a problem with some packages on R, installed via apt-get.. They are still compiled by 2.9 and give me an warning when I load the packages. Will these packages be recompiled with R 2.10, or should I rather switch to self-compiling? Cheers, Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug, PhD (Conservation Ecology, SUN), MSc (Conservation Biology, UCT), Dipl.

Hi is there an easy and fast way, to generate a BibTeX file of all installed / loaded packages and R? I know about toBibtex(citation()) to extract the BibTeX for a single package, but how can I generate a file containg citations for all installed / loaded packages?

Hi Dirk, Thanks for the explamnayion - Debian is running in a VM (and nothing really installed on it) , and I think the easiest is for me just to install Debian 10 and to use that one.

Hi I am testing a package, and after I make changes, I have to close R and open R again to load the new version (same version number) of the package I am working on. So my question: is there a function which removes a package, i.e library(myPackage) > Package is loaded unlibrary(myPackage) > package is not loaded any more Thanks, Rainer -- Rainer M.

Hi this might be a little bit off topic, but here it goes: lets assume I have the following: set.seed(13) dat1 <- rnorm(2000, mean=10, sd=10) dat2 <- rnorm(100, mean=10, sd=20) d.all <- density(dat, n=1024) d.co <- density(x[[v]], , from=min(d.all$x), to=max(d.all$x), n=1024) d.diff <- list( x = d.all$x,

Hi Let's assume, I have a dataset of 1000 datapoints, which represent daily recordings of a measurement. They are stored as a ts object (see example below) Now I want to represent them as a barplot. I found the barplot in the zoo package, but I have one problem: the x-axis labels. I would like to have the x-axis labels as either years only (located at the beginning of the year), or

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi I would like to create a Namespace during runtime, and not during loading a package. My reasoning is that I want to be able to store a number of variables and to "protect them from the user" (might be even myself). The code will not be in a package, but will be source()ed. Next step: pass variables from org mode / emacs to R and to

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi I know there is a function - I have used it before - but I always forget what it is called...

Hi I just installed the pastecs package and I am wondering: is there an english (or german) translation of the file pastecs.pdf?

Hi is there an alternative to par(new), for ading data to a plot for a different y-axis? My problem with par(new=TRUE) is, that it re-defines all axis and labels (as in example 1) and one has to use xlim=... to fix the x-axis. I am looking for something, which simply resets the y-axis, so that a new plot() (or points()/lines()) keeps the x-axis, but re-defines the y-axis. Is there something

Hi This is OT, but I need it for my simulation in R. I have a special case for sampling with replacement: instead of sampling once and replacing it immediately, I sample n times, and then replace all n items. So: N entities x samples with replacement each sample consists of n sub-samples WITHOUT replacement, which are all replaced before the next sample is drawn My question is: which

Hi there seems to be an error in the documentation of the "merge" function: Arguments: x, y: data frames, or objects to be coerced to one. by, by.x, by.y: specifications of the common columns. See ‘Details’. all: logical; ‘all = L’ is shorthand for ‘all.x = L’ and ‘all.y = L’. The "L" should be a T or a TRUE. Cheers, Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug,
