Hi, First, let me thank Jaroslaw for making this survey. I find it quite illuminating. Now the questions: * the #1 solution below (based on cumsum) is numerically unstable. Specifically if you do the runmean on a positive vector you can easily get negative numbers due to rounding errors. Does anyone see a modification which is free of this deficiency? * is it possible to optimize the

Anyone know what's up w/ tolstoi.newcast.edu.au (home of the threaded R-help archives)? I've got a "can't connect" for several days now. Carl

Hello all, I believe this can be done using bootstrap, but I am wondering if there is some other way that might be used to tackle this. #Let's say I have two pairs of samples: set.seed(100) s1 <- rnorm(100) s2 <- s1 + rnorm(100) x1 <- s1[1:99] y1 <- s2[1:99] x2 <- x1 y2 <- s2[2:100] #And both yield the following two correlations: cor(x1,y1) # 0.7568969 (cor1) cor(x2,y2)

I would like to combine time-series data to test for correlations and interactions using random and fixed effects meta-analysis. So, I am looking for the right packages and documentation. I know about meta and rmeta packages of R. Are there any more? What are the diffrences in brief? Can you please suggest some references that could be used as a guide for meta-analysis in R (or S-plus)?

I realize that others have struggled with this issue...i.e. http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/05/01/9826.html i am on os.x 10.4 w/ R2.2, and am (perhaps foolishly) also on this quest... i would like to be able to install downloaded source (tar.gz'd) files from within an R session, and have it work in a X-platform way..i am often not connected to the internet and have libraries

I'm having issues when trying to do a filled State plot using the maps() package. It seems that the color values aren't being plotted correctly, and I'm not sure why... I've started debugging it, but I'm stuck. I've attached the code that I've got so far. The for loop plots states 1:i. What I'm noticing is that the colors are correct until after Michigan gets

Just out of curiosity, what is the difference between the terms for package and library ? Why are we loading a package with the library() command ? If this is a case of RTFM, I would be happy to do so if pointed in the right direction. I have searched the FAQ and mail archives and only came up with http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/02/12162.html but this still does not explain what is

Hi list,I apologize if you see funny fonts, b/c I'm using the new Windows Live Hotmail and don't know how to turn off the "rich text" mode.....I have successfully built and installed a R package in windowsXP for R-2.5.1. But when I tried to create a .zip file so I can use "Packages/install package(s) from local .zip files..." to install it, it seems R only recognizes

Dear R users, I have multi-argument returns in a function and I am warned by the program they are deprecated. I have found this in the R-help archives : http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/01c/0319.html http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/01c/0356.html Since I am not too good at programming, the list solution seems the better one for me. It is also the one advocated by Kevin Murphy. So

I am using the RODBC package to read data from an Excel file.

Hello, I have difficulties combining boxes and lines in plot legend. I searched previous R-posts and found this (with no solution): http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/06/07/30248.html. Is there a way to avoid boxes behind the line legends? x1 <- rnorm(100) x2 <- rnorm(100, 2) hist(x1, main = "", col = "orange",ylab = "density", xlab = "x", freq =

Hi, A previous thread suggests that R on Windows is multi-threaded http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/03b/6946.html When I'm running R 2.5.1 on a dual core pc I get Rgui.exe uses up to 50% of the available cpu and the rest is not used. i.e. it only uses one cpu. I'm soon going to get a nice shiny new 8 cpu machine which it would be very nice to fully utilize. Is there any way to

r-help: I have an R package suggestion. After spending several hours the other day installing about a dozen packages, I had an idea. In xemacs, there is a "sumo" package which allows me to install a large bundle of xemacs packages at one time (about a 120 modes including ESS). I think R should have a similar bundle. It would be so much easier than hunting/downloading/installing.

Hello all I've been using the hclust and as.dendrogram objects for hierarchical clustering. The problem I have is that my sample set is now so large (circa 500 points) that it isn't possible to view the leaf nodes. I'd like to be able to zoom in on specific areas of the graph by selecting a region with the mouse. I've deduced from trial and error that the xlim and ylim

Hi R-users, Following this post http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/06/06/28965.html , how do I get last two rows (or six or ten) by id group out of the data frame? Here the example gives just the last row. Sincere thanks, Lauri [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi list, I was trying to use "predict.coxph" to calculate martingale residuals on a test data, however, as pointed out before http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e4/help/08/06/13508.html predict(mycox1, newdata, type="expected") is not implemented yet. Dieter suggested to use 'cph' and 'predict.Design', but from my reading so far, I'm not sure they can
