I have a data set where I want the correlations between 2 variables conditional on a students grade level. This code works just fine. by(tmp[,c('mtsc07', 'DCBASmathscoreSPRING')], tmp$Grade, cor, use='complete', method='pearson') However, this generates an error by(tmp[,c('mtsc07', 'DCBASmathscoreSPRING')], tmp$Grade, cor, use='complete',

Arrrrr, I think I've found a bug in the behavior of the stats::cor function when NAs are present, but in case I'm missing something, could you look over this example and let me know what you think: > a = c(1,3,NA,1,2) > b = c(1,2,1,1,4) > cor(a,b,method="spearman", use="complete.obs") [1] 0.8164966 > cor(a,b,method="spearman",

Doing help("R_LIBS") brings up a help file (the same one as help(library)), but the help file doesn't mention R_LIBS. It does have a link to .libPaths, which does document R_LIBS. The quickest fix would be for help("R_LIBS") to bring up the .libPaths help file. --please do not edit the information below-- Version: platform = i386-pc-mingw32 arch = i386 os = mingw32

Certain errors seem to generate messages that are less informative than most -- they just tell you which function an error happened in, but don't indicate which line or expression the error occurred in. Here's a toy example: > f <- function(x) {a <- 1; y <- x[list(1:3)]; b <- 2; return(y)} > options(error=NULL) > f(1:3) Error in f(1:3) : invalid subscript type

I'm trying to step through some code using browser(), executing one line at a time. Unfortunately, whenever I execute a comment line, the browser exits. I previously reported a similar problem with blank lines. These problems are a strong incentive to write poor code -- uncommented code with no blank lines to improve readability -- so that I can use browser() without it exiting at

Dear list, I would like to plot arrows with different colors according to arrow length, and also (if possible) with head size proportional to arrow length. The idea is to make a quiver-like plot of matlab with wind speed data. So far, I´ve been able to use different colors, but I need to find a more efficient way to recode arrow length intervals into colors. On the contrary, I can't define

Dear RUsers, I just upgraded from 2.6.0 to 2.6.2 and tried to reinstall the RWinEdt patch to work with WinEdt so that I can continue function as I always have but I have run into problems that I don't understand how to fix. Any help would be great. Essentially, I downloaded the latest RWinEdt zip folder from the CRAN website and tried calling the library. I tried re-installing it a bunch of
