similar to: Margins on tables

The code below illustrates some points about results from tapply that I find strange. I wonder if they are intended and if so why it is so. 1) When you make a table the dimnames is a *named* list, tapply returns an unnamed list. 2) data.frame behaves differently on an array and a table. Is this an intended feature? 3) For tables class(TAB) and attr(TAB,"class") both return

The function addmargins() adds margins to a table, but returns a matrix. But even after converted to a table the print.zero="." option of print.table() does not work: > x <- sample( 1:7, 20, replace=T ) > y <- sample( 1:7, 20, replace=T ) > tt <- table( x, y ) > tx <- as.table( addmargins( table( x, y ) ) ) > print( tt, zero.print="." ) y x 1 2

A funny thing happened when I wanted a student of mine to install Brugs. Using the InstallPackages in the windows version, firts gives an erro, but trying again works flawlessly. R version is 2.7.0 on WinXP. Any explanation?

I have an odd problem in building a package with only R-code in it. I have a package mainly used by myself which I last build under R 1.9.0. The operation system is Win2000 5.00.2195, Service Pack 3 When I do: c:\stat\r\rw2000\bin\Rcmd install --docs=normal --build --library=c:\stat\R\bxc\library c:\stat\R\bxc\library.sources\xx then after updating help pages I get: preparing package xx for

Did not seem to reach Saikat DebRoy, this might be the forum.

In version 2.8.1, running Rcmd check on the package foo would leave the file foo-manual.tex in the folder foo.Rcheck. But as of 2.9.0 only foo-manual.pdf and foo-manual.log are there. Is this intentional? Anyway it is inconvenient, because I would occasionally like to include the manual at the end of a set of exercises, and this was a convenient file to \input with a few select %'s added.

I have a samll package that works well and complies nicly on WinXP, using R-2.4.1 Now I want to add a document so i make a folder inst\doc and put the .tex and .pdf in there. But the complation then crashes. Is this because the installin expects some file to be present in inst if an inst folder is there? This is how the thing progress is on my command promp:

I was a bit puzzed by: > formatC(6.65,format="f",digits=1) [1] "6.6" So I experimented and found: > formatC(6.6500000000000001,format="f",digits=1) [1] "6.6" > formatC(6.650000000000001,format="f",digits=1) [1] "6.7" > round(6.6500000000000001,1) [1] 6.7 > round(6.650000000000001,1) [1] 6.7 > version

This is how I get the month names from within R: > mon <- rep(strptime("01/01/1952", format = "%d/%m/%Y"), 12) > mon$mon <- mon$mon + 0:11 > mnam <- months(mon, abbreviate = F) > mnam [1] "januar" "februar" "marts" "april" "maj" "juni" "juli" "august"

Further to the discussion between Murray Jorgensen and Brian Ripley, it seems to me better to choose tabulations that will not come and bite you. Suppose your data are sligtly irregular, e.g. (for the sake of the argument): data( warpbreaks ) warpbreaks$variant <- rep( 1:5, len=54 ) attach( warpbreaks ) tb <- table( wool, tension, variant ) tb # in this case you would like to see: tp

Tha handy thinb about the fig=TRUE option in Sweave is that you do not have to bother about filenames and starting and stpping the device. I want the the resulting LaTeX to look as: \begin{Schunk} \begin{Sinput} > x <- seq(-2 * pi, 2 * pi, 0.1) > plot(x, cos(x), type = "l", lwd = 4) \end{Sinput} \end{Schunk} \begin{figure} \includegraphics[width=0.6\textwidth]{xx-001}

Consider the following two specifications of a model: library( splines ) x <- 1:100 y <- rnorm( 100 ) w <- rep( 1, 100 ) A <- factor( sample( 1:2, 100, replace=T ) ) B <- factor( sample( letters[1:4], 100, replace=T ) ) summary( lm( y ~ ns( x, knots=c(30, 50, 70 ), intercept=T ):A - 1 + B ) ) summary( lm( y ~ ns( x, knots=c(30, 50, 70 ), intercept=T ):A - 1 + B:w ) ) The

I am updating the Epi package. I added functions named pc.points and pc.matpoints. Erroneously I wrote pc.plot and pc.matplot in the NAMESPACE file and of course got an error from Rcmd check. So I corrected the NAMESPACE file, but I still get from r-check: * install options are ' --no-html' Loading required package: utils Error in namespaceExport(ns, exports) : undefined exports:

Has anyone written a function that will print a difftime in the form: hh:mm:ss or yy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss depending on the actual size. (sloppy notation for months/minutes, but surely you get the point).

coef() and vcov() have different dimensions if a model contains alised parameters as the following example illustrates. A search on "alised" gave noting as far as I could see. Is this a known bug?
