Hi all, Is there any documentation on running R like one would run a shell or Perl script, with out/input directed appropriately, environment variable access, and command switch processing? I looked some, and even remembered to check the FAQ, but couldn't find anything. Thanks W

Hi R-helpers, I have a data.frame with three columns (lots more reps though in each), like so: 'FOO' 'BAR' 'RESULT' 1 .01 75 1 .05 12 1.1 .01 100 1.1 .05 50 1.2 .01 75 1.2 .05 12 I am calling boxplot(RESULT ~ FOO:BAR, ...) This

Hi all, I dump the result of a long simulation, which I know has run to completion and returned a fairly complex list of lists of things. However, when I try to read it back in, I get the following error: > source ('../SIMULATIONS/run.1.R') Error in structure(list(do.extinction.runs, alpha = 1.8, delta.change = 0.005, : Object "do.extinction.runs" not found I think the

Hi R-helpers Has anyone had any experience doing CGI or Servlets or using an httpd server in R? Context: we are interested in running dynamic demographic calculations on the internet (life tables, and such) in response to form submissions. I might do simple cgi to get started, but loading in data each time seems like it would be quite, quite slow. I have looked at Rserv, but I am most

Hi R-heplers, I would like to print various matrices, dataframes, tables, etc to files, preferably nicely formatted postscript for import into papers. Is there a way to do this? I know ?cat, ?writeLines, ?format, ?paste. But I am not sure of a good combination of these in order to get a nice looking table of information. Any ideas? I guess I want (almost) publication ready output, just

Hi R-helpers, Does anyone know of a good Tk (or other) script that allows somewhat intuitive viewing of all of the variables (especially complex lists) in a session? I would also like to delete, save to file, and rename them graphically. I would also like a lot of supplemental information like class, atrributes, names, modes, whatever else... Context: I am running simulations

Hi All, (I have a degree in math, but I am too embarassed to ask my colleagues, so here goes:) I would like to get a vector normal (orthogonal) to a plane formed by two other vectors. In matlab I do this: v1 = [.4, .6, .8]; v2 = [.9, .7, .2]; nn = cross(v1,v2) (gives ~[-.48, .65, -.24] if I do R> cross(v1, v2), I get .94. Huh? Thanks for all your help, again. W

Hello! I would like to add the syslinux mailing list to gmane.org so I can read it with my newsreader (I think it is more convenient). Is that ok? For more information go to http://www.gmane.org/ Cheers Alex

Hi all, I am using ACS micro data (PUMS) with one of the columns as a factor for the place of birth (POBPF). I would like to create a column (POBR) containing a rank corresponding to the place of the observation in the POBPF rankings. For example, if a person is from Oregon, Oregon is the most popular Place of Birth, so each person who came from Oregon should have a 1 in their POBR.

Is there any documentation on what kind of SPSS file can and cannot be read by read.spss? Alternatively, how can one modify or "clean" an SPSS file to make it readable by read.spss? What properties must a *.sav file before read.spss can read it? The file in this example is 270KB, with 5 rows and 173 columns. I have no trouble reading larger files with read.spss, so it's not

Hi R-developers I have noticed a strange little bug/feature: I often create pdf's of plots, then edit them in Adobe Illustrator. Generally this works great, but whenever I have text that is aligned vertically (along the y-axis usually), the text is written out as lots of individual objects. When the text is horizontal (x-axis, other stuff), it is all one object. I would prefer one object

Hi R-helpers I would like to plot some planes which are perpendicular to the x-y plane, such as x=y. Is there a way to do this in wireframe? I realize that I am not plotting a function of x, y since there are infinite number of z's that satisfy the above relation.... Hmm... Somewhat related, I would also like to plot a line in 3 d space... Finally, if you are feeling really brave, I

Hello, I got a hint to use the gmane-interface... ...nice tool. :) But the gmane-server which is mentioned ont he healp-pages of http://www.r-project.org/ http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.general and the links on that page also, just only bring me to an gamne-archive, which is outdated. I post via http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.general (

Hi all, I have searched but to know avail. Is there a way to get a line number when a function crashes? I am doing an edit->source->run cycle. Feel free to cc me as I subscribe to the list in digest. Thanks W

HI, I wonder if there is a newsgroup on R available, instead of emaillist which I have to receive mails daily. Cheers. Bin

A while back Gabor Grothendieck suggested that I try http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.general. This was after I asked how to easily reply to posts on the listserve. Ideally I would like the functionality that I find in Microsoft Outlook Express newsreader for usenet groups or what I find in Google Groups. I started using gmane about 3 weeks ago. I find it fantastic for searching and for

http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/b114/ This URL makes me think that if I just sit down and figure out how to compile OpenSolaris, I can try b114 now^h^h^h eventually ? I am really eager to try out the new quota support.. has someone already tried compiling it perhaps? How complicated is compiling osol compared to, say, NetBSD/FreeBSD, Linux etc ? (IRIX and its quickstarting??) --

A few days ago there was a thread on calling R from Delphi to which there were several useful responses. Now I responded as well, with what I regard as a useful contribution. Shortly after that, I was not able to able to see the thread in my newsreader (Thunderbird). Suddenly, yesterday I could see the thread again, and now it has vanished, at least from my sight. Now. Is there an error

So then looking at my config files for both machines you see no problems there? I'm testing now, but I'm wondering if this is only happening on windows 10 clients.
