similar to: scale in stars() is not as documented (PR#1230)

Hi all, Please let me know if this isn't the correct place to report bugs in contributed code. Otherwise, the following code contains one additional line and a short comment above it. The extra line of code catches the unusual situation where a data column contains all 0 values. The corrected code is below the signature. Thanks for your help. Tom Thomas S. Dye, Ph.D.

I tried: > data(state.x77) Warning message: In data(state.x77) : data set 'state.x77' not found data(iris) seems to work fine, but the other state datasets (which I haven’t every tried before) don’t seem to be available on my windows 7 running R 2.12.2 installation. ?state brings up the state help page page which suggest the dataset should still be there. In help there still seems to

Hi! I have a dataset with three columns -the first two refer to x and y coordinates, the last one are odds ratios. I'd like to plot the data with x and y coordinates and the odds ratio shown as a fourfold plot, which I prefer to do using the stars function. Unfortunately the stars option in symbols is not as cool as the stars function on its own, and now i can't figure out how to do it!

Hi I don't know if you can help. I am a 2nd year Bsc Cosmetic Science student and in R I need some help in drawing stars. The problem that I have is I want to recreate a radar diagram similar to the one in excel. I have put in these commands in a script window: stars(shampoo1[, 1:6], locations = c(0,0), radius = TRUE, key.loc=c(0,0), main = "Ranked Results for the Sensory

Dear listers, The following command (derived from the example in the ?stars help page) works : data(mtcars) stars(mtcars[, 1:7]) But the following gives an error: stars(mtcars[1, 1:7]) Error in s.y[i, ] : incorrect number of dimensions I was expecting to have the star graph for the first line (Mazda Rx4) The following give an incorrect graph for the first two cars : stars(mtcars[1:2, 1:7])

Dear R-Devel, As I am sure many of you know, a special issue of The American Statistician just came out, and its theme is the [mis]use of P values and the many common ways in which they are abused. The lead editorial in that issue mentions the 2014 ASA guidelines on P values, and goes one step further, by now recommending that the words "statistically significant" and related simplistic

Today's GNU R tutorial in http://how-to.linuxcareer.com/a-quick-gnu-r-tutorial-to-statistical-models-and-graphics points out how bad statistical practice is being further perpetuated, by virtue of "significance stars" still being the default in printed output from lm models. ----- Frank Harrell Department of Biostatistics, Vanderbilt University -- View this message in context:

I am pretty sure that you

I have been making some segment plots with five variables. They work great, especially when I used a different scale function, which scaled them by area of the circle rather than radius scale <- function(x, Mr = 1 , Mx = 100) { ((x/Mx)^.5)*Mr} Where x is the the value, Mr is the Maximum radius, and Mx is the maximum data value. You could change the exponent .5 to .57 if you wanted Flannery

Hi R developers and debian users: Finally I found how to work with aggregate() function on the last patched version fo R. I you use this command it fails: aggregate(state.x77, list(Region = state.region), mean) But if you modify it in this way, it works!: aggregate(state.x77, list(Region = state.region), function(x) mean(x) ) Is it necesary to change the example? What is changing in

I read through the editorial. This is the one of the most mega-ultra-super-biased articles I've ever read. e.g. The authors encourage Baysian methods, and literally encourage subjective approaches. However, there's only one reference to robust methods and one reference to nonparametric methods, both of which are labelled as purely exploratory methods, which I regard as extremely

Dear Rdev, in R 2.9.0 the doc of function stars() does not state that it returns invisibly the location of atomic graphs. This is a valuable information as it may help to set a value for the key.loc parameter of this function. My whish is just that the "value" section in stars.Rd should be documented. Best, Pr. Jean R. Lobry BTW, the URL:,

Hi there Rers I am trying a very basic stars plot: x<-matrix(c(1,4,3,1.1,2,3,4,3,1,1,5,2), ncol = 3, byrow = TRUE, >> dimnames=list(c("a","b","c","d"),c("x","y","z"))) > > stars(x, draw.segments = TRUE, radius=TRUE) > > Can anyone explain what I am seeing there - EACH of my plots should have 3 coloured

Hi R users and developers on debian platforms. I compile the R version 2.8.1 Patched (2009-03-18 r48193) on my UBUNTU linux distribution. But when I ask for the aggregate example it fails. What am I missing? example(aggregate) aggrgt> ## Compute the averages for the variables in 'state.x77',grouped aggrgt> ## according to the region (Northeast, South, North Central,West) that

Hi all, I am trying to make tiff files of lattice plots at a resolution greater than 300 dpi required by a journal (PLoS ONE). I have tried both the tiff and bitmap functions. tiff keeps panel colors but reduces axes and tick labels so they are nearly invisible. bitmap maintains correct label size but only produces greyscale. Regular plots work fine with tiff; the problem is only with lattice

While playing Stars! wine sometimes kills the X-Server. This happend infrequently in all Versions of wine I tried, but this time I managed to generate a bugreport. I use wine with managed windows, this seems to be the most stable setting for Stars. To start wine I used wine -debugmsg +relay -language De_DE -- stars\!.exe -s -m >& ~/`date +winedebug_%Y%m%d.txt` | wolfgang@erwin:~>
