similar to: bubbleplot3: R equivalent of the MATLAB function?

Hi, I wanted to read in a table that had hyphens in the header / column names. When I read it in however, it replaces the hyphens with a dot. Which parameter in the read.table function do I need to set to change this behaviour? Example code: jm <- matrix(1:4,2,2) rownames(jm) <- c('a','b') colnames(jm) <- c('a-1','a-2')

Hello, we want to plot a proportional symbol map with ggplot. Symbols' area should have the same proportions as the scaled variable. Hereby an example we found on http://www.r-bloggers.com/bubble-chart-by-using-ggplot2/ . In this example we see the proportions of the symbols' area are different from the proportions of the scaled variable: crime <-

I have to create a number of bubble plots, and am wondering what methods folks prefer for this task. I've been experimenting with the symbols() function, with text() to provide plot labels. Any opinions on the relative merits of this method versus others? One criterion would be the ability to fine-tune the placement of text labels. I would like to use lattice, but haven't found a way to

I'm having a problem when using heatmap. Even though the diagonal of my matrix is all the same value, the diagonal of my heatmap is not all the same color. Any suggestions? Here is some reproducible code: ######################################### # Get data nba <- read.csv("http://datasets.flowingdata.com/ppg2008.csv", sep=",") # Reorder nba <-

Hey, I'm trying to build something like this http://flowingdata.com/2011/05/11/how-to-map-connections-with-great-circles/ but with my own data in csv files. The code runs well if I use the same csv files as the author, but with mine , this is what I get *Code* library(maps) library(geosphere) map("world") xlim <- c(-180.00, 180.00) ylim <- c(-90.00, 90.00)

Hello I am currently translating some Matlab code into R and would like to know what people would recommend as the equivalent in R for spline(x,y,xx) in matlab. The latter performs a cubic spline interpolation where x,y are the given data vectors and xx is the new abscissa vector. It allows for the definition of end conditions in y, which is very useful. I tried using spline and splinefun from

Does R have a graphic command equivalent of MatLab Hold On ? I am trying to sabve on a pdf file a composite drawing. I first declare the canvas size, then I define the layout, finally I generate the 4 plots according to layout order. Eventually I close the pdf file (dev.off()). The resulting PDF file contains 2 pages. The first one shows only the layout. The second one shows the whole composite

I have to admit I don't fully understand how MatLab's step() function works, but I'm learning that part. Can someone point me to equivalent&related functions in R? thanks Carl

I am trying to compare the speed of my R code with that reported by the authors of a reference paper who used Matlab. The authors of the paper state "Total CPU time for the algorithm was 10 s for the ...on a modest mobile 2.2 GHz Pentium processor running MATLAB v.6". I am using proc.time (similar to the example shown in ?proc.time) to determine the speed of my R code. Could someone

Hi, I am very new to R so please excuse me if I am asking very obvious questions. I am trying to call a blackbox api function implemented in as a COM object from R. The function definition says that 1. if calling from VBA, the first parameter should be set to "Nothing" 2. if calling from matlab, the first parameter should be set to [] What should be the equivalent for above in R?.

Hello All, I am running the following code in RStudio, and I keep on getting an error message that says: "Error in plot.new() : figure margins too large" Is there something that I am doing wrong? # Import Data nba <- read.csv("http://datasets.flowingdata.com/ppg2008.csv", sep=",") nba #Sort Data (sorting by Points, but could be sorting by any other variable)

I am converting some matlab code into R that use inverse of the complementary error function, erfcinv and did not find an equivalent in R, is there such a function in some contributed modules? Thanks.

Hi, I've been using the Matlab robustfit function for linear regressions where I suspect some data points are outliers. Is there an equivalent function in R? Take care, Darren PS, This is the Matlab help on robustfit: >> help robustfit ROBUSTFIT Robust linear regression B = ROBUSTFIT(X,Y) returns the vector B of regression coefficients, obtained by performing robust

Hello all - does anyone know if there is a package in R that will allow me to create a map of the US (or individual states) that uses the American Community Survey PUMS boundaries? Thanks [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello! I would like to make a scatterplot of my data, but the problem is that several points have the same x and y values and are represented as only one point. I wonder if there is a way to represent the data points, but with point size representing the frequency of the depicted x-y value? Thank you! -- View this message in context:

Dear all, I have several files with Matlab code, which I am translating to R. For the zero-level approach, I took the very old shell script from R-help archives, which has made some obvious leg-work such as replacement of "=" with "<-". Now I am translating indexing, matrix operations and function call using this table http://37mm.no/mpy/octave-r.html The problem is, I

  By any chance is there an R equivalent to MATLAB's "whos" command?   I tried searching R and R-seek, but didn't really come up with anything.    There are several items I would like to make sure are stored in the workspace and check their values.   Thank you again for your help and any feedback.     > ?workspace No documentation for 'workspace' in specified

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if there is an equivalent in R to the shortcut "Ans" in MatLab whereby I can use the previous result for the current command? This could save a lot of time when hacking in R itself, not from an editor. Thanks, Stephane [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I'm attending summer School at UCLA (IPAM) on "probabilistics models of cognition". I have been an R-user since v. 1.4.1, but was trained in the frequentist tradition (as most psychologists!). I found that all faculty here use matlab and Murphy's bayes net toolbox. I have not had the need to use matlab before, and would love to stick to R for graphics models and

hi, Just a very simple question: is there an R equivalent to the matlab command find(X) which returns the indices of vector X that store non-zero elements? e.g. > find( [1 0 0 1 0]) ans = 1 4 so, in R, how do I do: ans <- rfind( c(1,0,0,1,0)) so that ans is the vector c(1,4) thanks, stephen -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help
