Please consider adding the following to the next R release (I understand that it's too late for R-2.1.0). It adds the menu item `Search R Site' in the `Help' menu in Rgui (which calls RSiteSearch() on the input string).

k = c(1:9) if( length( which(k==3) ) ){ print("contained") }else{ print("not contained") } is therre a simple way to test if a vector/list contains a particular value? for example an operator, along the lines of: == more generally, is the a documentaion page that lists/describes all such operators? lastly, if you didn't know the answer to my question, how would you have

Dear R-developers, A student asked me today of how to specify the limits of the x-axis. I knew that he should use xlim, but I tried to encourage him to have a try himself with the various help functions. I do not judge if he used the correct search strategy or right key words, but anyway here is what he tried: he looked at ?plot. There xlim is not mentioned. He checked ?par. There you find

Hi, A number of people have suggested "I read the manuals"... Could someone help me by telling me where the primary start point is please? For example, I am interested in writing functions with variable number of arguments - where should I start to look? "An introduction to R" only show a brief example - with no pointer to where to find further data. I can't do ?xxx

Dear Help I'm new to R (from matlab)...using windows XP. I've tried to work out, to no avail, 4 things: 1) rotating the numbers on axes...something to do with par(str) ?? 2) how to close a window having opened one e.g. windows(7,7) 3) how to manipulate the key (e.g. dots, lines etc) on the legend. Using pch just gives me the same key for all functions on a plot. i.e. legend

Hi All: Can anyone give me a hint about how to find functions built in in R. based on the articule below it should be something called DIYhelp but I can't find it. Thanks Part of the Kickstarting R package is a little text searching facility called DIYHelp. The program is based upon a simple, brute-force search of the directory tree from the point that you specify. The concept is that you

Hello, I have the following model: lm.7 <- lm(Y ~ F + C1 + C2 , data = EM4) F is a 4-level factor, the rest are covariates centered at their mean (Y is a two-column matrix). I have tried to find functions to give the model-adjusted means (adjusted at the covariates'means) and their standard deviations for each. (That is, what I believe is called in SAS "least square or LS-means,

Currently ?foo does help("foo"), which looks for a man page with alias foo. If foo happens to be a function call, it will do a bit more, so ?mean(something) will find the mean method for something if mean happens to be an S4 generic. There are also the type?foo variations, e.g. methods?foo, or package?foo. I think these are all too limited. The easiest search should be the most

Hello everyone. In matlab  (again) there is a fucntion find that returns you the indexes where the condition in find was met. I want the same functionality in R i.e find(Mydata>2) to return all the indexes where the condition is met. Do you know something like that? Also when I try to search in google using for example the word R inside the search lemma I get very few results as the R confuses

Hello list, I'd like to know if there is a function that tells in which package is a given function. Something like : which.package("lda") [1] "MASS" Thank you.

Hello everyone., I am looking for a covariance function this not the first time I have this type of problem (to find which function does something). I try in google with "R cran covariance function" but usually this ends with different results that do not help me that much. Could you please try to advice me how to search for what function implements the functionality you want.

Hi, Below I've flagged some sentences in the R documentation (from cvs) which are garbled in some way. If anyone can clarify what these sentences should say I'd be grateful. The problems were picked up as part of the proof-reading of the R manuals by Ciaran O'Riordan. After looking at the text neither of us could figure out what the documentation was meant to say. -- Brian Gough

i've search the email archives, searched the documention of various map packages and done an R-site search, but have been unable to find direct resources for creating maps of the US that are colored or annotated or ... by zipcode data. For example, create a map of the US and color each zipcode region by its population using two vectors z,p containing the zipcode and population,

Hello all, I am trying to implement a simple Genetic Algorithm. I am doing this in R since I want access to the statistical functions (eg lm) it provides.

I am going to use a binary representation, it seems that vectors of Factors would

Hello, I'm starting working myself in the use of R, reading M. J. Crawley, The R Book. The problem I do encounter is concerning the commands apropos and find: > apropos(edit) Fehler: is.character(what) is not TRUE > find(edit) Fehler: is.character(what) is not TRUE I get the same error message typing anything else instead of "edit". The command ?edit seems to work well.

Suppose I have the following data: y x id 44 0 104 48 58 104 48 55 204 47 105 204 41 275 206 18 67 209 .......

It gives me the prediction curve based on the model. My further request is to make a confidence bands

Hi, I try to put an arrow to a filled.contour plot. I make this: filled.contour(volcano, color = terrain.colors,key.axes=F) arrows(0.95,0,0.95,1,lwd=2) This work, but the problem is that I find the coordinates at random try, for other graphic with other scale is other fight with coordinates. Anybody know a more easy or more generalized way to make this? Somethink like this
