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.

"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

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

Here are some comments generated by a new R user based on initial experiences with the tool. On-line help for tapply: The following appears "for to each (non-empty) group of values" It seems there's an extra preposition in this sentence. On-line help for cut: "break" should be "breaks" morley.data not available with the distribution. Would be helpful for

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 just downloaded rw1080dev.exe 09-Sep-2003 07:42 21.6M from http://www.stats.uwo.ca/faculty/murdoch/software/r-devel/ and tried using tkrplot on Windows 2000. .First.lib failed to load the dll: .Tcl(paste("load", file, "Rplot")) appeared to be mixing up double-backslashes and forward slashes: [tcl] couldn't load library "C:w1080devlibrary

Hi all, I am wondering if anyone has written (or knows of) a function that will conduct a goodness-of-fit test for a gamma distribution. I am especially interested in test statistics have some asymptotic parametric distribution that is independent of sample size or values of fitted parameters (e.g., a chi-squared distribution with some fixed df), because I want to fit gamma distributions to

I am trying to batch the printing of some graphs using win.print when I leave the printer option blank it prompts me for a printer each time and then works fine when I put the printer name in however using the following code I get the error below. Does the printer need to be locally installed or can it print to a network printer like I am trying to? win.print(width=8,

Hi I have been creating very, very long jpeg images for the last two weeks using jpeg(). All of a sudden, and I mean that, it's stopped working - I've not changed a thing! The error message I get is: > jpeg("out.jpg",width=50000,height=480, quality=100) Error in devga(paste("jpeg:", quality, ":", filename, sep = ""), width, : unable

Dear R list, I do encounter the following problem by generating either a png-file (example below) or a jpeg-file: By employing 'box(which="outer")' a box is drawn, except for the right line. If I generate the plot without the 'box(which="outer")', a line at the bottom in the graphics file still appears. However, both plots are displayed correctly in the R

Dear all, I would be very grateful if you could help me with: Given the regularized gamma function Reg=int_0^r (x^(k-1)e^(-x))dx/int_0^Inf (x^(k-1)e^(-x))dx ; 0<r<Inf (which is eventually the ratio of the Incomplete gamma function by the gamma function), does anyone know of a package in R that would evaluate the derivative of the inverse of Reg with respect to k? I am aware that the

I met a trouble in setting jpeg a large size. for example, when i use jpeg(height=65526), a problem "Error in devga(paste("jpeg:", quality, ":", filename, sep = ""), width, : unable to start device devga In addition: Warning message: Unable to allocate bitmap" occurs. if a smaller size is set, no errors occur. I'm using R 1.8.0 on win2k. Thank

Dear R users, I have to calculate gamma functions for negative numbers beyond -171.4. e.x. gamma(-500.4) I got following: > gamma(-170.4) [1] -5.824625e-308 > gamma(-171.4) [1] 0 Warning message: underflow occurred in 'gammafn' I have tried to use a recursion getting values a little futher -180. How could I solve this problem? Thank you beforehand. Chuse.

I have to calculate some formula like: gamma(x)/(gamma(x+y) and I observed that for relatively big values of x, R returns infinity and so cannot compute the formula. Is it possible to force R to give the real value of gamma(x) instead of Inf ? thanks

I'm looking for goodness of fit tests for gamma distributions with large data sizes and for different data. I have a matrix with around 4.000 data values in it and i have fitted a gamma distribution with "fitdistr".
