similar to: vector documentation error?

Hello: Changes in R seem to have broken the sos vignette, and I don't know how to fix it. The build on R-forge, "https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=235&log=build_src&pkg=sos&flavor=patched", ends as follows: Error in texi2dvi(file = file, pdf = TRUE, clean = clean, quiet = quiet, : Running 'texi2dvi' on 'sos.tex' failed.

Dear R-users, Is anyone aware of any function/package for generating a random vector from a joint distribution defined by an independent graph? Or I have to work it out myself? Thanks. Jinfang ------------------------------ Jinfang Wang, Associate Professor Chiba University, Japan

I've been trying to figure out how to get the names of the parameter vector variables when inside the function that nlm calls to return the objective function value: knls <- function( theta, eqns, data, fitmethod="OLS", instr=NULL, S=NULL ) { ## print( names( theta ) ) # returns NULL ## get the values of the parameters for( i in 1:length( theta ) )

Dear R-Helpers: What other references are there on the capabilities of the survival5 package other than the help files and the chapter on survival analysis in every edition of Modern Applied Statistics with S? I'm thinking of something like "An Introduction to Survival Analysis in R" with worked examples that might complement or extend the chapter in MASS. Thanks, Spencer

Hi, Duncan: I just did "plot(1:2)" in Rgui.exe, and that copied fine as a metafile into MS Word via the clipboard. Then I exited and restarted Rterm.exe under ESS and tried it again. This time, I got a blank image copied into MS Word. However, after I modified the Lattice defaults via, "trellis.par.set('background', list('white'));

Faraway's book titled "Practical Regression and Anova using R", with full text available online at: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Faraway-PRA.pdf refers to a data set, stat500, which compares midterm and final grades. It can be used to illustrate similar concepts. A google search for faraway.zip will locate the actual data. --- Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2004 10:37:08 -0800

I agree: It sounds like a bug, as you said, Irk, in that Rgui.exe cannot copy a metafile to the clipboard, at least under MS Windows 2000, 5.00.2195, Service Pack 3, even though Rterm.exe can. Therefore, I'm including "r-bugs@biostat.ku.dk" in the list of addresses to this email. Spencer Graves Irk Eddelbuettel wrote: >On Sun, Jun 06, 2004 at 12:26:45PM -0700,

Hello, All: What facilities exist for plots and tables of data in the standard MediaWiki software beyond the obvious standards? The standard MediaWiki tables and graphics capabilities seem to me to be rather clumsy, and I wonder if I'm missing some available extensions? The standard MediaWiki tables are described in a Wikipedia article on "Help:Table".

Hello, Is anyone out there doing nested anovas? I'm familiar with the notation to designate the nesting in SAS but can't seem to find any for R. How can I specify the nesting levels?

I wonder if someone can help me understand some counterintuitive simulation results. Below please find 12 lines of R code that theoretically, to the best of my understanding, should produce essentially a flat line with no discernable pattern. Instead, I see an initial dramatic drop followed by a slow rise to an asymptote. The simulation computes the mean of 20,000 simulated trajectories

Hello, and please excuse this off-topic question, but I have not been able to find an answer elsewhere. Consider a value Z that is calculated using the product (or ratio) of two means X_mean and Y_mean: Z=X_mean*Y_mean. More generally, Z=f(X_mean, Y_mean). The standard error of Z will be a function of the standard errors of the means of X and Y. I want to calculate this se of Z. Can someone

Hello, I have a problem that I think can be solved in R but I'm not sure how to tie things together. I have a digital image of a crystal growth in 2 dimensions. And my aim is to calculate the fractal dimension of the crystal. I was planning to use the box counting method. So I need to read in the image in R (for which I can use the pixmap or rimage packages) and then draw a grid over at a

Hi all, I think the last time i posted this topic i started on the wrong foot. Thnaks alot to everyone who responded. i'm coding in R(first time) for a paper my colleague is publishing. i plotted a histogram for 6000 values. I am told to plot experimental vs theoretical vlaues from the histogram and do a non linear least square curve minimization and compute the mean and sd of the new x

I just asked a question. If I was too vague, then i am sorry. I dont expect anyone to help me, but I thought that it was ok to put the question out there in case someone wanted to help me. I didnt expect abject hostility for it. Human decency was the only thing I did expect. If my question was a pain,badly formatted, or too juvinile, then i have no problem being ignored.I asked a question

Hello, all: I have a dataset with 2 groups. I want to estimate 2 means and 2 standard deviations. I naively think I should be able to use lme to do that, e.g., lme(y~gp, random=y~1|gp, method='ML'). I think I should get the same answer as from lm(y~1, ...) within each level of group. I can get the same means, but I don't know how to extract the within-gp standard
