A couple of help page typos that I came across: 1. help(sample) Arguments: x: Either a (numeric, complex, character or logical) vector of more than one elements from which to choose, or a positive ^ [element] 2. help(delay) Description: `delay' creates a promise to evaluate the given expression in the

Dear R Team, A few monor typos in help pages that I noticed. Thank you very much. Rashid Nassar 1. help(gl) Examples: # First control, then treatment: gl(2,8, label=c("Ctnrl","Treat")) ^^^^ I assume "Cntrl" is meant. ========================================== 2. help(pmatch) Details: The behaviour

Again I would like to express my deepest appreciation to all those working so selflessly on the development of R for us all to use it freely (and it is such a joy to use!) Rashid Nassar == Possible bug: 1. boxplot() This is an old behavior that I had reported before, but as it is still there, it may not ba a bug (although it looks like one to me). "qfcut" is numeric, "st"

Dear R Team, Some minor typos in help pages for package:mva Thank you. Rashid Nassar 1. help(kmeans) Details: [k-means? not sure about this] v The data given by `x' is clustered by the k-Means algorithm. When this terminates, all cluster centres are at to the mean of their

plot(1:4,1:4,xlim=c(5,0),ylim=c(5,0)) shows axis labels as: | | | | | | 0 rather than | | | | | | 5 4 3 2 1 0 as I believe it used to do in some earlier version. Thank you for R. Rashid Nassar --please do not edit the information below-- Version: platform = i586-unknown-linux arch = i586

Dear R team, I had a strange problem that appeared suddenly, and which I'd like to to mention in case it is of interest (although I suspect that I may have unwittingly done something dumb: if so please accept my apology) > library(ctest) ## or any package other than "oz" that I tried Error in as.character(table) : Object ".Dyn.libs" not found > traceback() [1]

Core dumped when plot() is used with pch="c" & cex > 2, e.g., plot(1,1, pch="+", cex=2.2) Thank you and best wishes for 2000!

Dear Sirs, I had the following (reproducible) problem: g1 <- gl(3,4) g2 <- gl(2,2,12) y <- rnorm(12) AA <- aggregate(y,list(g1,g2),mean) print(AA,2) # I should've said 'digits=2' but ... Segmentation fault (core dumped) # print(AA) and print(AA,digits=2) work as expected Many thanks, -Rashid Nassar --please do not edit the information below--

dotplot() colors are plotted (probably unintentionally?) in reverse order. x <- c(rep(1,3),rep(2,3),rep(3,3)) dotplot(x,groups=factor(x),col=x) # 1 plotted with col=3, etc. Thank you very much.

#Example: y <- rnorm(10) group <- gl(2,5) plot(y ~ group, horizontal = TRUE) # BUG: default xlab & ylab interchanged plot(y ~ group, horizontal = FALSE) # OK: supplies correct default xlab & ylab # Using boxplot() instead of plot() omits default axis labels altogether # (not sure if this is intentional): boxplot(y ~ group, horizontal = FALSE) # no default axis labels supplied

The following looks odd to me, but it may well be that I'm doing something I shouldn't: x <- c(rep("a",5),NA,rep("b",7)) X <- as.factor(x) length(X) # [1] 13 length(X[X=="a"]) # [1] 6 I expected 5 length(X[X=="b"]) # [1] 8 I expected 7 length(X[is.na(X)]) # [1] 1 yes length(X[X=="d"]) # [1]

It could be that the following may be due to something wrong that I managed to do (I cannot think what...) but I submit this report in case it is something that you want to know about (I have solved the problem by removing .Rprofile as I describe below). 1. After compiling/installing R 0.90 (an uneventful process), it worked perfectly the first time, and it read .RData written by the previous

Dear R team, I don't get what I think I should get when using anova.glm() with family="gaussian" -- please ignore this and forgive me if this turns out to be another example of a fundamental misunderstanding on my part (a highly likely event!) For example: S <- as.factor(rep(c(rep("m",2),rep("f",2)),2)) A <-

Dear R Team, # Summary of the problem: setting contrasts as > contrasts(g) <- contr.treatment or > contrasts(g) <- matrix(c(1,-1,0),ncol=1) (i.e. without quotes around `contr.treatment' or `contr.sum', etc.) and fitting an lm model without an intercept results in a model matrix that lacks one column. (I do ask for forgiveness if this is not a bug but is due to my

It may be my lack of unerstanding, but round() seems to me to give inconsistent results when rounding 5s as in the following examples? > round(1.45, 1) [1] 1.4 # OK > round(2.45, 1) [1] 2.5 # shouldn't this be 2.4? > round(1.05, 1) [1] 1.1 # 1.0 ? and signif(): > signif(2.445, 3) [1] 2.44 # OK > signif(3.445, 3) [1]

Thanks for your reply Nassar. What I really want is to overlay (like add=TRUE) the plots 1 and 2. With plots "at the same screen" I meant overlaid and not one beside the other, i.e., only one plot with all the points (1 to 10) in blue (or any other color), the points 5 to 9 in red and a regression line from points 5 to 9.
