Dear R developers, I find the format of descriptions of the arguments in the read.table help text slightly inconsistent. For example, the logical arguments comes in seven different formats, more or less explicit about the consequences of a TRUE (or FALSE): 1. check.names logical. If TRUE then the names... 2. blank.lines.skip logical: if TRUE blank lines... 3. flush logical: if TRUE,

Dear R developers, ?help.search ...opens a tab in my browser (Firefox 3.5.6, Win XP): http://127.0.0.1:31642/library/utils/html/help.search.html When I click on the link for "?", (http://127.0.0.1:31642/library/utils/help/?) in the last line of "Details", I get an error message: "Server error: invalid response from R".

Dear all, I have some csv-files (originating from Excel-files) containing empty cells. In my example file I have four variables of different classes, each with some empty cells in the original csv-file: > test <- read.csv2("test.csv", dec=".") > test id id2 x y 1 a 1 NA 2 b e NA 2.2 3 f 3 3.3 4 c g 4 4.4 > class(test$id) [1]

Dear R users, I successfully installed SciViews the other day. However, when I try to run it now, the command/script window does not appear. Strange. Well, actually I see a tendency to a script window (in the lower part of the sciview window where it is suppose to be) during start up, but when the program is entirely open, the script window is gone. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall

Dear R developers, In the help text for ave() you can read in Arguments section: "... Grouping variables, typically factors, all of the same length as x" ...and in Value: "If ... is g1,g2,". I think a description in the Arguments section of how two or more grouping variables is specified together with an Example would be very helpful. In absence of a help text I just

I ran into a weird, to me at least, problem, and hoping someone can shed some light into it. In a nutshell, there seems to be some problem when one calls plot with a formula, from within another function, using ... to pass arguments, and one of those arguments being xlim (and only xlim shows this problem). Here is an example: > plotw <- function(obj,...) { + plot(k~j,

In plot(), when using option asp=1 the xlim and ylim have no effect because they are changed changed in order to fill the whole plot region. Is there a way to automatically set xlim and ylim when asp has been set to 1? For example: #This is a box of the plot ranges I want: boxxy=rbind(c(-1,2),c(-1,-1),c(1,-1),c(1,2),c(-1,2)) #Without asp=1 I get what I want (i.e. I can't see the box because it

Dear plotting wizards, when plotting in R, the actual lengths of the axes are slightly greater than the ranges of the x/y variables or xlim/ylim values. how do I control the amount by which the axes are enlarged? Is there a way to enforce that the lengths of the axes equal xlim/ylim? example: plot(0:100,0:100,pch="+") it can be observed, that the x- and y-axis join at approx.

I have some code as shown below. Basically, I would like three boxplots to be set next to each other with no ylabels on the two "inner" plots, and I want the same x axis range on all three. However, it seems like boxplot does not respect the xlim setting. I've tried the various ways I thought would work (par, boxplot(...xlim=)) but none of them seem to work. I then tried plot.window,

Dear all, I'm having a problem understanding why a split does not occur with in the 2nd use of the function strsplit below: # text strings > txt <- c("sales to 23 August 2008 published 29 August", + "sales to 6 September 2008 published?11 September") # first use > strsplit(txt, 'published', fixed=TRUE) [[1]] [1] "sales to 23 August 2008 "

Is it on purpose that `[[` strips the names when used on an atomic vector? > c(a=1, b=2)[1] a 1 > c(a=1, b=2)[[1]] [1] 1 > sessionInfo() R Under development (unstable) (2013-02-11 r61902) Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=English_United Kingdom.1252 [2] LC_CTYPE=English_United Kingdom.1252 [3] LC_MONETARY=English_United Kingdom.1252 [4] LC_NUMERIC=C

Full_Name: Steve Ellison Version: 2.4.1 OS: Windows, Linux Submission from: (NULL) (194.73.101.157) bxp() allows specifcation of box locations with at=, but neither adjusts xlim= to fit at nor does it respect xlim provided explicitly. This is because bxp() now includes explicit xlim as c(0.5, n+0.5), without checking for explicitly supplied xlim (or ylim if horizontal). This also prevents

Dear R-help, I want to download the text from a web page, however what i end up with is the html code. Is there some option that i am missing in the RCurl package? Or is there another way to achieve this? This is the code i am using: > library(RCurl) > my.url <- 'https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help' > html.file <- getURI(my.url, ssl.verifyhost = FALSE,

Hello I tried the odfWeave package today, by running the formatting.odt and example.odt files that are included with the package. They both ran fine, but when I try to open them in my OpenOffice (OpenOffice 3.1.1 on Kubuntu 9.10) I get an error "Format error discovered in the file in sub-document content.xml at 1293,124(row,col)." I also tried to open them in MS Word 2003 (Windows

Hi, I have the following function that I want to apply to a list of 14 matrices (1536 x 170) of binary data: DRes <- function(x, nr = 10000, metric = "mixed", ...) { require(analogue) require(ade4) m <- c() for (i in 1:nr) { set.seed(i) x1 <- x[, sample(dimnames(x)[[2]], length(x[1,])/2)] x2 <- x[, !dimnames(x)[[2]] %in% dimnames(x1)[[2]]] d1 <-

Hello, I came across a strange behavior of expand.grid (or at least strange to me). For certain values of one of my input variables - created by seq() - I have to use strings (e.g ==".6") to select a row of the object created by expand.grid(), for other values numerical (e.g. ==.8) and for some both work. Please find an example below. #Example x<- seq(0,1,1/10) y <-

Hi R, I wanted to know how do we access the elements of a list. In particular, v=list(c(1,2,3,4,5),c(1,2,33,4,5),c(1,2,333,4,5),c(1,2,3333,4,5)) I want to access all the thirds items of the elements of the list. i.e., I want to access the elements, 3,33,333,3333. This can be done through sapply as: sapply(v,function(x) x[3]) But I need to access this without using

A newbie here - please forgive me if this is a basic question. We have an in house package built in R 2.2.1 (yes we're a little behind the times at our firm)and would like to rebuild it using R 2.5.1. However, when I try and build the package from source, I keep getting this error: Error in as(slotVal, slotClass, strict = FALSE) : no method or default for coercing "POSIXt"
