I am using R 1.7.1 on Windows XP Pro. The 'overwrite=FALSE' argument appears to be ignored in file.copy(): > file.exists(c("file1.txt", "file2.txt")) [1] TRUE TRUE > file.copy(from="file2.txt", to="file1.txt", overwrite=FALSE) [1] TRUE > and sure enough, file1.txt has been overwritten.

The following command, temp <- read.table("c:/rfr/r/test.txt") reads the text file "test.txt", which contains the following lines: 21437 21438 21419-2 21420-2 21421-2 21422-2 and produces the following result: > temp V1 1 21437+0i 2 21438+0i 3 0+0i 4 0+0i 5 0+0i 6 0+0i > These "numbers" are actually sample ID's, and I

Dear list, Utils::modifyList() drops NULL components in its second argument, instead of adding them to the first argument. Compare: > modifyList(x=list(A=1), val=list(B=2, C=3)) $A [1] 1 $B [1] 2 $C [1] 3 > modifyList(x=list(A=1), val=list(B=NULL, C=3)) $A [1] 1 $C [1] 3 To me this seems inconsistent with the documentation ("Elements in 'val' which are missing from

Dear R-help, Can some one tell me what could be the problem? I downloaded the R-1.7.1 source and try to compile it on WinXP. "make", "make bitmapdll", "make tcl", "make recommended" all ran w/o problem. However, when I ran "make docs", it failed at creating refman.pdf, with no apparent error that I could see. I have attached the log file

Stock returns and other financial data have often found to be heavy-tailed. Even Cauchy distributions (without even a first absolute moment) have been entertained as models. Your qq function subtracts numbers on the scale of a normal (0,1) distribution from the input data. When the input data are scaled so that they are insignificant compared to 1, say, then you get essentially the

Hi people, Does anybody know some Density-Based Method for clustering implemented in R? Thanks, Fernando Prass _______________________________________________________

Dear R-help, A colleague of mine was running some code on two of our boxes, and noticed a rather large difference in running time. We've so far isolated the problem to the difference between R 1.7.1 and 1.8.0, but not more than that. The exact same code took 933.5 seconds in 1.7.1, and 3594.4 seconds in 1.8.1, on the same box. Basically, the code calls boot() to bootstrap fitting mixture

[Not sure if such wishlist item should go to R-help or R-devel...] It would be nice if an option can be added to the R for Windows installer that will add the --internet2 option to the command line in the shortcut that gets created. Also, is it possible to make that an option that can be set at the R prompt, or perhaps even better, as the default no matter how/where R is started? For those of

Hi, When qqnorm on a vector of length 10M+ I get a huge pdf file which cannot be loaded by acroread or evince. Any suggestions? (apart from sampling the data).

Hi all, I am trying to test wheater the distribution of my samples is normal with QQ plot. I have a values of water content in clays in around few hundred samples. Is the code : qqnorm(w) #w being water content qqline(w) sufficient? How do I know when I get the plots which distribution is normal and which is not? Thanks, m [[alternative HTML version

Dear list, could someone point me to the normal score transform and it's use in R? I would like to transform my data with normal score transform, do some geostatsitical predictions and would like to transform the estimated values back including the estimation variance. Any suggestions? Ulrich -- __________________________________________________ Ulrich Leopold MSc. Department of

I'm new to R (and to S) and am wondering about code from pages 72 and 83 of MASS (Venables+Ripley, 3rd edition), to draw an envelope on a QQ plot. Copying from the book, I've got: #... code whose gist is "a.fit <- nls(..." num.points <- length(resid(a.fit)) qqnorm(residuals(a.fit)) # illustrate data-model residuals qqline(residuals(a.fit)) samp <-

R 1.6.1 on Windows NT4: The boxplot() function appears to draw its own tick marks and axis values even when called with add=TRUE. As a toy example, try x <- rnorm(100) f <- factor(rep(1:4, each=25)) plot(c(0,4), c(-3,3), type="n", xaxt="n", yaxt="n") boxplot(x ~ f, add=TRUE) My expectation is that a high-level plotting function will not mess with the axes

Hi, there. Is there any function in R to plot the probability-probability plot (PP plot)? Suppose I am testing some data against normal. Thanks.

Hi, I am trying to figure out how to get the correlation coefficient for a QQ plot (residual plot). So to be more precise, I am creating the plot like this: qq.plot(rstudent(regrname), main = rformula, col=1) But want to also access (or compute) the correlation coefficient for that plot. Thanks, Tom [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello All: Has anyone configured a meetme conference to use video? I have successfully used video phones to talk through *, but I cannot seem to get video when those phones dial into a meetme conference. Is there something else that I need to be doing other than set the "v" flag on my extension for the meetme app? Thanks, Tim
