similar to: R-alpha: missing warning message

maybe we've already diskussed this before, but Kurt and I can't remember ... is.vector() of an one-dimensional array returns FALSE. this is also the behavior of Splus, but totally counter-intuitive for me ... IMO an array of dimension 1 is exactly the definition of a vector ... it also breaks our current plot.factor, which is simply a barplot(table(x)) table() returns an

Hi, is there any way to exchange (A LOT OF) data between SPPS and R/Splus, i.e., I want to get data from SPSS into R. It is a huge data frame with many columns being factors, so manual conversion is out of question (and there are more data to come). Exporting ASCII from SPSS seems to loose all level names, and the portable SPSS format doesn't look too nice. I've searched S-news and

I am one of only 5 or 6 people in my organization making the effort to include R/Splus as an analysis tool in everyday work - the rest of my colleagues use SAS exclusively. Today, one of them made the assertion that he believes the numerical algorithms in SAS are superior to those in Splus and R -- ie, optimization routines are faster in SAS, the SAS Institute has teams of excellent numerical

Kurt The function tempfile is available based on some C code from Friedrich Leisch. The function unlink is fairly simple in unix but I haven't experimented elsewhere. In this regard, I have put together a small kernel set of functions to try to handle cross platform and R vs S issues. This is appended below and I would certainly appreciate feedback. The purpose of this kernel is so that I can

Hi everybody, I have three questions to ask us: a) R incorporates a function for the Non-central T distribution which unfortunately and, as you know, is not available in Splus 4.5. In http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Swin I found the Don MacQueen?s noncent.zip but when I run it in Splus 4.5 the following error message appears: "Error in .Fortran ("vectnc",: "VECTNC" is not a

I am running R version 1.7.1 on 3 different operating systems: Linux RedHat, Linux Slackware, and Windows 2000. R is ordering alpha-numeric character strings in different ways, dependent on the operating system. R orders strings exactly the same on Slackware and Windows, and this ordering corresponds to SPlus. It's the RedHat that is creating the problem. On Slackware, Windows, and SPlus:

Just curious. Current logic in both R and Splus has > (1:3)[c(T,F,NA)] [1] 1 NA Does anyone know *why*? It makes sense for integer indexing, but for logicals it seems to have some strange consequences - if you divide a dataframe according to some criterion, you get as many NA-filled records as there are missing values of the criterion added to *both* the group that satisfies the criterion

Sorry if this has been discussed here before, but anyway: The are differences between the confidence intervals of the t.test as done by R and Splus: *** R R> x<-rnorm(1000)+1 R> t.text(x) Error: couldn't find function "t.text" R> t.test(x) One Sample t-test data: x t = 31.4062, df = 999, p-value = 0 alternative hypothesis: true mean is not equal to 0 95

I've recently installed R for RH5.0 Linux and been considering moving existing work from Splus (Windows, 4.5). Also installed the win95 R, but this doesn't seem to work as well, and in any case the idea is to move toward Linux. 1 I attach and detach directories freely and often in Splus. Is it anticipated that it will be possible to do this in R in the future? 2 The ascii representation

1) hist() does not take NA's. Incompatible with Splus, probably just a bug? 2) I do wish we could somehow get rid of the misfeatures of indexing with logical NA's: > table(juul$menarche,juul$tanner) I II III IV V No 221 43 32 14 2 Yes 1 1 5 26 202 > juul$menarche=="Yes"&juul$tanner=="I",] ...and you find yourself with a listing of 477

Below is a revised copy of my compatibility functions with additions from Martin. I expect I may need a new version when 0.6 arrives but I thought it would be worth circulating this in case it suggests anything which might be resolved before the release of 0.6 rather than after. Thanks to a few people for pointing out the R function machine(). I have a kludge below for determining the same

Hi : I have old Splus code that I am trying to turn into R ( I am using windows Xp and R 2.20 ) and I am getting a warning from one of my statements because the behavior of R is different from Splus. below, tempdata is a matrix of numbers and I have the following command which basically runs through the columns and returns the minimum index of the column where an NA occurs.

>I am interested in R as an alternative for a statistical tool >at our firm. Ditto... I have recently moved to this agency from a company where I had access to Splus. There is also a coworker here who had used Splus at a previous employer. We both would like some access to the S language. We are considering either begging loud and long to try to get the agency to purchase two copies of

Dear all Currently, I'm implementing the generalized hyperbolic distribution into Splus. Unfortunately the Bessel function is not implemented in Splus. In R the Bessel function does exist but it is an internal function and I'm not able to look at the code. Is there any possibility to see the code of the Bessel function in R or does anybody has an implementation of the Bessel function in

Hello R users, This question might be already discussed before, I apologize if it is the case. Simple... how can I do to include a figure in a latex document. As I have already done in Splus, I tried this: \begin{figure} \special{psfile=gauss.ps .......} \end{figure} but it didn't work. Any help? Thank you in advance. PS: I let down the Mac and the MS Window platforms and I am back to my

I've got a problem with the R function spline.des. I use the following arguments: x_seq(0,1,length=200) knot_quantile(x,(1:8)/9) ord_3 k_sort(c(rep(range(x),ord,knot))) derivs_rep(2,200) When I do spline.des(k,x,ord,derivs)$design on Splus and on R, I don't have the same results. However, if I take an order ord=4 (ie a spline of degree 3), then, I have the same

Context: R version 2.7.1 (2008-06-23) I don't know when this was upgraded in the department, I just ran into the aberrent behavior today. Problem: Our group BY CHOICE does not change character variables into factors by default. I can get into a long arguement as to why later, and will give one example of why below. The default behavior of S, Splus and R has been to create
