similar to: R 1.6.0 beta

R 1.6.1 has been scheduled for November 1. We're makin interim beta versions available via http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/base (ftp://cran.us.r-project.org/pub/R/src/base used to work, but apparently FTP access has been disabled) The filename is R-1.6.1beta_*.tar.gz, where * is the creation date. If you want to help ensure that the final 1.6.1 works satisfactorily on *your* platform,

Hi, Suppose I have created something like this in R: foo <- "myfoo" and I want to find out the number of character in foo (in other words, R should return 5 since "myfoo" has 5 charactors. How can I do it? I tried: length(foo) but it returned 1. Cheers, Kevin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ko-Kang Kevin Wang

Hi, Is it possible to add a subtitle that appears directly below the main title? I tried the "sub" parameter, but it adds sub-title to the bottom of the plot.

Hi, I think I found the problem. It lies in my Fortran program. Is there a way, after a DO loop, to make sure it does NOT return anything?

Hi, Say I did something like: par(mfrow = c(1, 2)) plot(1:10) plot(1:10) and I'd like to have an overall title, i.e. a title that would appear, centered, on the top of both plots, rather than the top of the last plot. I tried: title("FOO", outer = T) but it doesn't appear right. Half of the FOO is outside the figure region and can't be seen... Is there another

Dear R-help, (This is the first time I tried compiling 1.6.x from source on WinNT4, so please bear with me...) I tried following the instruction in src/gnuwin32/INSTALL as closely as I could, but encounter the following errors at the make step. Can some kind soul please help? I'm using pcre-3.9 and MinGW-2.0.0-3. I checked and libRpcre.a _is_ in src/extra/pcre. TIA, Andy ... gcc

Hi, Now suppose I have just one list called FOO, which has 25 objects, e.g.: [[1]] 1 2 3 4 5 [[2]] 6 7 8 9 10 . . . And I want to do something like: FRED <- data.frame(cbind(unlist(FOO[[1]]), unlist(FOO[[2]]), # ... for all 25 subsets )) Is it possible to do this, without doing unlist(FOO[[i]]) 25

Hi, Suppose I have the following lines at the end of a function: answer <- c(2, 1, 0, 4, 5) # In fact, answer will be generate in my # function print(answer) # Print the answer # Now, find the best fitted n degree polynomial print(paste("The best fit is with", which.min(answer) - 1, "-degree polynomial")) this will return:

Hi, Does anyone know how to manually configure the number of digits printed out from xtable()? For example, I'm exporting a data frame through xtable() into a LaTeX table, I only have two columns in the data frame so by default I only get two decimal places. But I'd like at least 5 decimal places. I had a look at ?xtable() but can't seem to find an example. Cheers, Kevin

Hi, I was trying to read in the following data set by using: gas <- read.table("gas.tab", header = T) when I got the error message: Error in "row.names<-.data.frame"(*tmp*, value = row.names) : duplicate row.names are not allowed Any help are appreciated. Thanks, Ko-Kang Wang

Hi, Is it possible to draw barplot with x-axis being shown? I looked up the help file and I couldn't seem to find it. For example, I tried to do x <- 1:9 p <- log10(1 + 1/x) barplot(p, xlab = "Digit d", ylab = "Probability", ylim = c(0, 0.35), axes = F, main = "Benford's Law Probability") axis(1, 1:9) axis(2, seq(0, 0.35, by = 0.05),

Hi, Say I want to do something like fitting 10 different sized trees with rpart() function. The only modification I need to do is to set 10 different cp's, which I have in a vector called foo. Can I do something like: for(i in 1:10) { rpart(y ~ ., cp = foo[i], data = mydata) } My problem is, I wish to save the 10 rpart objects into 10 different names, my.rpart1 ~ my.rpart10, for

Hi, Suppose I have a function: myfunc <- function(x, y) { ... } And within the function I want to print out the name of the x, y vectors. For example, if I do: > myfunc(foo, goo) [1] "foo" "goo" It shall return "foo", "goo" (with or without quotes is fine), where foo and goo are two vectors with numbers. I know this sounds strange, but I'd

Hi, >From my understanding, "R" is an application on UNIX but I'd like to run its Windows version instead. I'd like to know exactly what kinds of machines I need as a minimum to run "R". Could you please help me on the specs? Thank you very much for you kind assistance. karnchana

My Rgui crashes quite a lot when entering certain characters. I put a freshly extracted msvcrt.dll into the rw1050\bin directory, but this did not fix the problem. Perhaps, as stated in the FAQ section, I need also "put the rw1050\bin directory early in your path" but I do not know how to do it in Windows Me. Please could you give me some help? E. Barahona

I am new to R. I am going to by one of the following book: 1. William N. Venables and Brian D. Ripley. Modern Applied Statistics with S-Plus. Third Edition. Springer, 1999. ISBN 0-387-98825-4. 2. The Fourth Edition of the book from point 1. 3. `S Programming' by W. N. Venables and B. D. Ripley Springer. ISBN 0-387-98966-8, 2000. I can only by one of the above books. Q1. I have found

Hello, I got R 1.6.0 for windows and I need Rcmd, which was not included. Where can I get it? (I have to start R and give the name of the file with the R-commands on the command line, so that R is invoked together with its command-file "todo.R". Do I really need Rcmd for that? To write "Rterm todo.R" did not work.) Richard -- Richard M?ller - Am Spring 9 - D-58802

Hi, Is it possible to create a ts() object, whose data is daily based BUT measured only on working days? In other words, suppose I have a data set with 255 observations, measured from 29 June 1959 to 30 June 1960. How would I create such a data? I tried something like: ts(c(...), start(1959, 180)) but I'm not sure what to use for frequency. In other words I don't know how to

Hi, a couple of simple graphics questions: 1. I have a little function that makes bar plots. Now I would like to limit the Y-axis outside this function (that means after calling the barplot() command) depending on the data to be plotted . Does anyone know how to do this ??? 2. When using barplot() and limiting the yAxis, R draws the bars below the x-axis. How can I avoid this problem ??
