The on-line documentation for par() refers to a 'gamma' argument. However, if 'par()' is invoked, there is no gamma argument. -- Art Salwin salwin@mitretek.org (202) 863-2985 (202) 863-2988 (fax) --please do not edit the information below-- Version: platform = Windows arch = x86 os = Win32 system = x86, Win32 status = major = 1 minor = 0.0 year = 2000 month = February

The on-line documentation for the 'ann' argument under par(), states "If set to 'FALSE'...". However, this parameter shows up as a numeric on my machine, not as a logical. -- Art Salwin salwin@mitretek.org (202) 863-2985 (202) 863-2988 (fax) --please do not edit the information below-- Version: platform = Windows arch = x86 os = Win32 system = x86, Win32

The documentation for 'order()' has the following sentence: `sort.list' is the same, using only one argument put allowing partial sorting. Should "put" be "but" or possibly "'partial'"? -- Art Salwin salwin@mitretek.org (202) 863-2985 (202) 863-2988 (fax) --please do not edit the information below-- Version: platform = Windows arch =

Is there an R function that inputs a value and a vector, and returns the percentile corresponding to the value? Something like pvalue<-function(x,vector){mean(x>=vector)} but with interpolation. Given the above function, is there a way to do the following without the loop: for(i in 1:10) y[i] <- pvalue(x[i],vector) where x and y are numeric vectors of length 10? -- Art Salwin

"An Introduction to R" notes that the function tapply() can be used to index a vector by multiple categories. But they don't show how to do this. How does one implement, for example, the example in the text in which tax accountants are indexed by both state and sex? Is there a way to use tapply() to put the vector into bins defined by the levels instead of having to exactly match

Hello, I want to fit some non linear models with the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. It doesn''t seem to exist any function to do this in R ( well, maybe one does, but I''m a new user, and the only documentation I have is "An introduction to R"). I''d like to know if this function exists, maybe throught an additionnal package. I''d also like to know if if

Hi all, how can I remove objects from the workspace which starts with a certain pattern, e.g. lm (lm1, lm2, lm3 etc). Wildcards won?t work.

hi- I downloaded r 0.90.0 for windows and ran rwinst.exe and the base package would not install for me. I had to unzip rw0900b1.zip and r20900b2.zip manually and then do the rest of install with rwinst. Is this due to b being replaced by b1 and b2?

I've heard from several users who report no difficulties using the Rwinst.exe installer for the released version of 1.2.0. I've blown away all traces of 1.2.0 on my system and have re-downloaded all 10 zip files and the installer on both my NT and Win2K boxes. The memory-overwrite error persists on both systems, suggesting that there is some incompatibility between the 1.2.0

I installed R 0.64.2 using "rwinst.exe" on a Windows 95 machine. The zip files and rwinst.exe were stored in a directory "rtmp" and I wanted R to be installed in "r0642" (by setting c:\rtmp for source directory and c:\ for install directory). After the installation was completed the main program was in r0642 whereas all the documentation in c:\rtmp\r0642. Is this

"An Introduction to R" has a sample session in the appendix. One of the examples looks at the Michaelson and Morley experiment to measure the speed of light and starts with "file.show("morley.data")". Where does one find this data table?

Hi, I've just downloaded rwinst.exe and ran the installer. Afterwhich I double-clicked the Rgui icon.

Forgive me, but while I find the documentation for initially installing R to be clear, I'm not so happy about updating. I want to update from R 1.2.1 to R 1.2.2 (mainly so I can get the debugged version of pictex() ). Now I have downloaded the base zip files, say to Z:\Program Files and my existing installation of R 1.2.1 is sitting in Z:\Program Files\rw1021. Running rwinst.exe I need to

Hi Ann Looks like a typo - I see "moreley.tab" that should be "morley.tab". Works for me after correcting that. > filepath <- system.file("data", "moreley.tab", package="datasets") > filepath [1] "" > > filepath <- system.file("data", "morley.tab", package="datasets") > filepath [1]

hey all, I'm just getting used to R and i'm having issues when it comes to reading my data in rows rather than columns. any good advice would be much appreciated ! here is the error: > data1 <- read.table(file.choose(),header=T) > x1 <- c(data1[1,1:5]) > shapiro.test(x1) Error in sort.int(x, na.last = na.last, decreasing = decreasing, ...) : 'x' must be atomic

Hi all, I'm using R0.99a on WinNT4. I downloaded a bunch of packages and tried using Rinst.exe to install them. For whatever reason, Rinst.exe does not find all the packages I downloaded. I put all files in the same temp directory, but Rinst only finds some of them. I have no problem installing the rest with WinZip, but if Rinst works it would be much easier (don't have to run WinZip

I am having what I think is a strange problem with applying TukeyHSD to an aov fit with error strata. TukeyHSD is supposed to take "A fitted model object, usually an 'aov' fit." aov (with error strata) is supposed to generate an object of type aovlist, which is a list of objects of type aov. But I can't seem to feed components of my aovlist to TukeyHSD. I guess I
