Dear List, I have hit this problem with using a plotmath expression in an axis label on a lattice plot I'm including in a Sweave document. The actual document is far too long and boring (unless you are interested in the hydrochemistry of upland lakes) to include here, but the following minimal example reproduces the problem; basically, the PDF produced by Sweave has missing characters in the

Dear List, I am writing a custom panel function and xyplot method to plot the results of a procrustes analysis from the vegan package. I am having trouble getting the call to panel.arrows to work as I wish when conditioning. The attached file contains the function definitions for the xyplot method and the custom panel and prepanel functions I am using. This example, using data and functions from

Dear List, I have been writing a Lattice function to draw what we call stratigraphic diagrams, these are diagrams with a panel for each species showing a time series of abundance, but drawn vertically to represent time passing from bottom of plot towards to top. I am most of the way there with this now, but I want to do away with the strip on each panel and instead draw a custom top axis with a

Dear List, I'm having considerable trouble setting up my environment (Linux, Fedora 16, Bash) to build and check packages under R Under Development (r61660). I'm doing this to better get a handle on difference in the output from running checks on examples in one of my packages. Note I compiled R Under Development myself The problem I am now having is whenever I try to build my analogue

Dear list, I've just upgraded to Fedora Core 2 and seeing as there wasn't an rpm for this OS on CRAN yet I thought it was about time I had a go at compiling R myself. Having run into the X11 problem I switched to trying to install R-patched. I followed the instructions in the R Installation & Admin manual to download the sources of the Recommended packages and place the files in

Dear list, I just hit an error that stopped my make && make check-devel operation on my linux box (FC3, i686 P4 2GB RAM). Just to note that I've been building the development branch(?) for some time and this is the first hint of a problem. 1) updated the src tree using svn update 2) ran ../configure --with-recommended-package=no from my build directory 3) got: R is now configured

Dear List, Having had my appetite sufficiently whetted by Prof. Ripley's email about the new graphics capabilities in Unixes, I wanted to try them out. I updated to svn r44608, configured with the following options: R is now configured for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu Source directory: .. Installation directory: /usr/local C compiler: gcc -O3 -g -std=gnu99

Dear List, Further to my earlier email, I note that, for me at least, R CMD check is *not* reading R_LIBS from ~/.R/check.Renviron on R 2.15.2 patched (r61228) and R Under Development (r61660). The only way I can get R CMD check to look for packages in a user-supplied library is by explicitly exporting R_LIBS set to the relevant directory. R CMD build *does* read R_LIBS from ~/.R/build.Renviron

Hi, On a new Dell laptop, with a fresh FC3 installation (with latest updates applied) I am experiencing make hanging consistently after/during building grDevices. This happens when using the configure flag --with-lapack (I have the LAPACK rpm distributed with FC3 installed). The last two lines of output are: make[5]: Leaving directory

Hi, I was wondering whether a package that can perform dynamic linear models on times series data was available for R?

Dear List, I need to add a subscript and a superscript to some of the ions in the labels on some plots. I have got to here but now I'm stuck: plot(1:10, xlab = expression(paste("nm SO"[4], " ", mu, "eq cm"^{-2}, " yr"^{-1}))) Which gives almost what I require. No matter what I tried, however, I could not get bot a sub script *and* a superscript

Dear List, I have the following function: coca <- function(x, ...) { if(is.null(class(x))) class(x) <- data.class(x) UseMethod("coca", x) } and a default method coca.default <- function(x, y, method = c("predictive", "symmetric"), reg.method = c("simpls", "eigen"), weights = NULL,

Dear list, On Fedora 8 I downloaded the beta version of R via svn. make and make check-all worked fine, but make vignettes is failing with: make[1]: Entering directory `/home/gavin/R/2-7-patched/build/src/library' building/updating vignettes for package 'grid' ... processing 'displaylist.Snw' /usr/bin/texi2dvi: pdflatex exited with bad status, quitting.

Dear List, A student in the Department where I work would like to produce a graphic similar to this one: http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-files/Guardian/documents/2009/09/16/Public_spending_160909.pdf Does anyone know if the figure in the pdf can be generated in a specific software application for example? Any suggestions would be most gratefully received by the student concerned. Many thanks,

Dear list, given this formula: > fmla <- formula(y1 ~ spp1 + spp2 + spp3 + spp5) > fmla[[3]] spp1 + spp2 + spp3 + spp5 is this the intended behaviour of as.character: > as.character(fmla[[3]]) [1] "+" "spp1 + spp2 + spp3" "spp5" ? Where does the extra "+" come from? > as.character(fmla) [1] "~"

Dear list, There is, I believe, a minor typo in the example section of influence.measures.Rd. In the final example the word `does` appears where I suspect `dose` is required: I couldn't remember exactly what format patches should be in, so here is one as diff would produce: Index: devel/src/library/stats/man/influence.measures.Rd

Dear List, I often have to merge two or more data frames containing unique row names but with some columns (names) common to the two data frames and some columns not common. This toy example will explain the kind of setup I am talking about: mat1 <- as.data.frame(matrix(rnorm(20), nrow = 5)) mat2 <- as.data.frame(matrix(rnorm(20), nrow = 4)) rownames(mat1) <- paste("site",

Dear List, I'm not even sure this is an issue or not, but ?rowMeans has: Value: A numeric or complex array of suitable size, or a vector if the result is one-dimensional. The ?dimnames? (or ?names? for a vector result) are taken from the original array. If there are no values in a range to be summed over (after removing missing values with ?na.rm = TRUE?), that

Dear List, A posting to R-Help exposed this problem with the print method for objects of class Arima: > set.seed(1) > x <- arima.sim(n = 100, list(ar = 0.8897, ma = -0.2279)) > mod <- arima(x, order = c(1,0,1)) > coefs <- coef(mod) > mod2 <- arima(x, order = c(1,0,1), fixed = coefs) > mod2 Call: arima(x = x, order = c(1, 0, 1), fixed = coefs) Coefficients: Error
