similar to: contour as a generic function?

Hi I'm looking to a function in R equivalent to S-PLUS' "interp". Is there any implementation in R? If not, is there any similar interpolation function such that at the data points the interpolated values concides with the data? Thanks in advance P.J.

I'd like to check within a whether an argument is a formulae of the type ~X or similar. What's the right way to do so? I'm using: is.language(obj) but not sure this is right Thanks in advance P.J.

Hi When preparing documentation using Rd2dvi sometimes we get "overflow" on some lines. The consequence is that in the documentation there are some lines where words are not hyphenated or moved. The final document has some lines with more columns than the rest of the text. This happens when we use \code{} (which probably calls the \tt in latex). I've been checking the documentation

Hi I'm installing R with the standard commands: ./configure make make check make dvi to create DVI versions make pdf to create PDF versions make info to create info files make install make install-dvi make install-info make install-pdf Everything works fine apart from "make

This depends whether you want to compile the packages yourself (here you need the extra tools) or just install the pre-compiled versions (here you don't need them). I would guess that most of the Windows users just do the latter and the installation is then straighforward by using the option "Packages" on the top menu. You can donload/install from CRAN or from a local zip file.

I'd like to make some polar plots with R, but I can't seem to find anything designed to help with that. Is there anyway to get a real polar mode, where instead of x and y you have r and theta? How about a way to draw a circle? -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send

In an email to the help list John Chambers wrote about the function helpSilent which is in the methods package, pointing out that there is no restrictive reason to be in this package. I did not know about this function and just incorporate it in several functions of the geoR package where a much less elegant solution was being used. I guess other packages could use it as well. Therefore,

Dear all, When a conventional kriging and then a contour plot is limited with a polygon (as possible with krige.conv and contour.kriging), the polygon border is displayed in black by default. > kc<-krige.conv(CZdata,loc=pred.grid,borders=czpoly,krige=krige.control(obj.m=ls)) > plot(CZcoord,xlab="x",ylab="y",type="n",asp=1) >

Dear All, I am trying to do some simple mixture analyses. For instance, I have a sample of n observations and I suspect they come from two different exponential distributions with parameters rate1 and rate2, respectively. So, I want to estimate rate1, rate2, and the proportions of both kinds of individuals in the sample. I had a look at the packages mda and mclust, but they do not seem to do this

Hi list! I'm computing multivar. distances from a set of centroids to a (large) set of individuals. I'm now just using rbind to create a matrix (x) with the centroid and the individuals, then run as.matrix(dist(x)) and finally select the appropriate columns, as I'm not interested on the distances among individuals. Therefore, this procedure implies a waste of computing time. Is there

Dear R people We have two packages, where the first package (geoR) is required by the second (geoRglmm). Both packages have functions calling C-code via .C(). We would like to call C-functions included in the first package from within the C-code in the second package. Is this possible? An appropriate header file was included in the src directory of the second package but this alone did not

I am attempting to develop a multiple regression model using selected model variables that should all be treated as numeric (mostly real) values. However, R considers one specific variable "mass" automatically to be of class "factor", probably because "mass" consists of integer values that are repeated. I now want to force R to treat "mass" as a numeric

Hi I am struggling to fit a non-linear trend using the likfit function in geoR. Specifically I want a sigmoidal function, something like SSfpl in the nls package to fit the trend. But it seems trend.spatial in geoR only works with lm or glm type models. Any ideas how I can specify the model to calculate the kriging parameters using REML, including the parameters of a sigmoidal trend function

I have defined a function to compute the value of a beta distribution of the second kind (the existing beta distribution of th stats package is the beta distribution of the first kind). It works perfectly for a single value, but I want to apply it to a vector of 22 000 values. I can use a loop for the calculation of each value but it runs very very slowly. So, what can I change ? Hers's the

Dear R-users, I am using R version 1.8.0-1 under Suse 8.2. I need to use the boxcox command because I want to apply a Cox-Box transformation to a vector of rainfall values. Within the libraries, the MASS library is present, but I don't know whether this means that is automatically installed or not. The command doesn't work. What do I have to do in order to make it working? Is just a

Hi, Is it possible to run R in command line to evalute R expressions and return results to stdout, something like >R CMD -e "R.version$minor" then you got return >"8.1" Or do a simple calculation >R CMD -e "sin(1.2)" >0.932039 Thanks. -- Pingping Zheng Department of Mathematics and Statistics Fylde College Lancaster University Lancaster LA1 4YF
