Brian Ripley wrote (to somebody asking about "effect sizes"): > ... > Given that, I wonder if you are used to standard terminology. Good point. But I think for many of us there is more behind that. I personally belong to an (apparently fairly large) group of R users who may be enthusiastic, but are statistical laymen due to a lack of formal education in the area. The

I am looking for a function like my.blockwisesum(vector, n) that computes sums of disjoint subsequences of length n from vector and can work with vector lengths that are not a multiple of n. It should give me for instance my.blockwisesum(1:10, 3) == c(6, 15, 24, 10) Is there a builtin function that can do this? One could do it by coercing the vector into a matrix of width n, and then use

Hello all, trying to prepare my first package for submission to CRAN I am stumbling over the "checking examples" step of R CMD check. I have some examples that produce more than one plot. I currently separate those plot calls by readline("Press <Return> for a plot including a density plot") or some such to have R wait before producing the next plot. This works OK

Hello everybody, I am just trying to put together my first own CRAN-able package. I have completed the programming and my code works OK. But now when I perform R CMD check agsemisc_1.0-2.tar.gz and R gets to the step * checking examples ... I receive the following error message: > print(bwplot(Species~Sepal.Length, data=iris, panel=panel.bwstrip)) Error in rep(T, length(x)) : T used

Full_Name: Lutz Prechelt Version: 2.2.1 OS: WinXP SP2 Submission from: (NULL) (130.133.8.114) This command plot(0, 0, xlim=c(3, 5), ylim=c(0, 10, 17)) should complain about 'ylim' (because it has three elements). However, it does in fact (in my german error message at least) complain about 'xlim' instead: Fehler in plot.window(xlim, ylim, log, asp, ...) : ung?ltiger

Full_Name: Lutz Prechelt Version: 2.4.1 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (160.45.111.67) I stack a number of data.frames using rbind. Each of these dataframes has a column 'authorname', which is a factor and a column author = unclass(authorname) as piecewise pseudonyms. When using rbind to stack these dataframes, R warns about invalid factor levels and inserts all NAs in the author

Looking back, 'par' would have been a likely candidate for looking. One reason I did NOT look there is that I need the functionality for print.trellis in

Hello everybody, I have a bunch of strings like this: "IBM POWER4+ 1.9GHz" "IBM RS64-III 500MHz" "IBM RS64-IV 600 MHz" "IBM RS64 IV 750MHz" "Intel Itanium 2 Processor 6M 1.5GHz" "Intel Itanium2 1 Ghz" "Intel Itanium2 1.5GHz" "Intel

Dear Lattice bit-meddlers, while within a panel function for xyplot, how can I find out the values of (effectively) xlim and ylim -- no matter whether they have been set explicitly or chosen by Lattice itself? I have just tried for an hour to find out, with no success whatsoever. I looked in Grid for something that would return such data, but got lost. I looked at tracebacks of panel calls,

Ajay, thank you very much for picking up that age-old habit of posting summaries. It existed years ago on s-help and I find it is still a great thing: I would not have bothered to read your original question nor the answers you got, but I did read the summary -- and I learned something quite interesting! Maybe some others who receive multiple non-elementary answers to their questions could

I'm very new to R and utterly blown away by not only the language but the unbelievable set of packages and the documentation and the documentation standards and... I was an early APL user and never lost my love for it and in R I find most of the essential things I loved about APL except for one thing. At this early stage of my learning I can't yet determine if there is a way to

Hi! I am resending the following message about problems with utmp handling. * In the meantime I had some request in private mail from people asking whether I have new information. * The problem is still persistant in 2.9p2. * My own new investigations show, that the problem only appears with protocol 2, not with protocol 1, I therefore only started to note it when protocol 2 became the

Hello everybody, if I try to (r)bind a number of large dataframes I run out of memory because R wastes memory and seems to "forget" to release memory. For example I have 10 files. Each file contains a large dataframe "ds" (3500 cols by 800 rows) which needs ~20 MB RAM if it is loaded as the only object. Now I try to bind all data frames to a large one and need more than

Howdy, After upgrading to 2.9 (OpenSSH_2.9p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090600f) I'm unable to ssh between two systems any more (the two that I've upgraded). I've recompiled from the original source several times, each time with no errors, regenerated host keys, regenerated client keys (using rsa), etc., to no avail. Below are some relevant snippets of debugging output

Dear R community, I tried to optimized my R code by using Rprof. In my R code I'm using MySQL database connections intensively. After a bunch of queries R fails with the following error message: Error in .Call("RS_MySQL_newConnection", drvId, con.params, groups, PACKAGE = .MySQLPkgName) : RS-DBI driver: (could not connect mylogin@mydatabase on dbname "myDB"

Dear all, i am trying to redo the 'eyestudy' analysis presented on the site http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/faq/relative_risk.htm with R (1.9.0), with special interest in the section on "relative risk estimation by poisson regression with robust error variance". so i guess rlm is the function to use. but what is its equivalent to the glm's argument "family"
