I'm writing a package, and would appreciate advice on controlling the help documentation cross-references for a redefined generic. I wanted to define a cbind equivalent for an object that mostly behaves like a data frame. base::cbind dispatches to a data frame method if _any_ parameter is a data frame, so I defined a new S3 cbind and cbind.default to handle dispatch on first object only.

Has anyone plotted or is it possible to plot CIE *xy* chromaticity diagram http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:CIE1931xy_blank.svg I need this plot in color. ishida [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

grDevices::convertColor has arguments 'from' and 'to' which can take on value 'XYZ'. Can someone confirm that 'XYZ' is the same as the CIE chromaticity coordinates that are also sometimes refered to as 'xyY' in the literature? Or are these the CIE tristimulus values? It looks to me like the first case is true, but I would appreciate hearing from one of

Hi, I would have thought that these two constructions would produce the same result but they do not. Resp <- rbinom(10, 1, 0.5) Stim <- rep(0:1, 5) mm <- model.matrix(~ Stim) Xb <- mm %*% c(0, 1) ifelse(Resp, log(pnorm(Xb)), log(1 - pnorm(Xb))) pnorm(as.vector(Xb), lower.tail = Resp, log.p = TRUE) > ifelse(Resp, log(pnorm(Xb)), log(1 - pnorm(Xb))) [1] -0.6931472 -1.8410216

Hi all, I've noticed that many computational neuroscience research groups use MATLAB. While it's possible that MATLAB may have some features unavailable in R, I suspect that this may instead simply be a case of costly tradition, where researchers were taught MATLAB as students and pay for it as researchers because it's all they know. I'd like to attempt to break the cycle by

All, I am using a sum of squared differences in the objective function of an optimization problem I am doing and I have managed to speed it up using the outer function versus the nested for loops, but my suspicion is that the calculation could be done even quicker. Please see the code below for a simple example. If anyone can point out a faster way I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks, Roger

I have two questions regarding the ecdfplot function in the latticeExtra package. 1. How can I plot the fraction of values >= x rather than <=x, like the what = "1-F" argument in the Ecdf function in the Hmisc package? 2. When I try to log-transform the y-axis, I get a warning that it can't have log Y-scale, and it fails to scale properly: How can I log-transform the y-axis

Hi All - I would like to use R to implement MaxDiff (Best/Worst) scaling, but since I can't find anything on it in the R archives or packages, I think I'll have to start from scratch. I am hoping a list member is aware of a canned version of this method in R. Failing that, code from another language you'd be willing to share would be extremely helpful. Thanks for your

I'm having a problem with dotted lines (lty = 3) in the pdf output in documents generated with Sweave. In the displayed pdf, the dotted line does not show up and in the printed output, it is there but does not seem to respect the lwd argument, for example, it is very faint despite using lwd = 3. The dotted line is correct in a quartz window and if I save the Quartz window to a pdf and

Hi there are some predefined self-start functions, like SSmicmen, SSbiexp, SSasymp, SSasympOff, SSasympOrig, SSgompertz, SSflp, SSlogis, SSweibull, Quadratic, Qubic, SSexp (nlrwr) Btw, do you know graphic examples for this functions? The SSexpDecay (exponential decay) for y = (y0 - plateau)*exp(-k*x) + plateau from

Must packages in the Depends field of the DESCRIPTION file have NAMESPACES? I haven't seen this explicitly indicated anywhere. I am writing a small package and find that when I add the abind package to the list of the Depends field, I get an error in R CMD check of the build. * checking package name space information ... OK * checking package dependencies ... ERROR Packages required but not

Dear R-people, I am trying to read a matlab file, unfortunately without success. I enclosed the zipped file. Do you have an idea how to read this file by ReadMat package into the R system? Thanks for your time! Wim Krijnen

v1<-c("a","b","c","d") v2<-c("a","b","e") v3<-c("a","f","g") I want to get the intersection of v1,v2,v3,ie "a" How can I do then? What I know is only for 2 vectors via "intersect" function,but don't know how to deal with multiple vectors. Many thanks

I am trying to convert numbers to English words, e.g. 123 -> One hundred twenty three. After some searching, I have been unable to find any info on this. I could certainly write code to do it, but my question is this: Does anyone know of a function that does this? Thanks, Derek McCrae Norton

This is really annoying me... when I click R application icon it brings already opened session in the focus and it DOESN'T open new session.... any ideas? -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/How-do-I-run-to-or-more-R-consoles-on-Mac-OS-X-tp930979p930979.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

S Programming by Venables and Ripley (page 78) has the example listed at the end of this email. However, I get the following error when I try the example. I don't understand the descriptions of NextMethod on its help page. Could somebody let me know how to fix the error of this example? > test(x) c1 c2 Error in NextMethod() : no method to invoke Calls: test -> test.c1 -> NextMethod

Hi R users: I found that I cannot stack() a data.frame with factors. db1<-data.frame(replicate(6,factor(sample(c("A","B"),6,replace=TRUE)))) str(db1) db2<-stack(db1) db2 "db2" does not have any row. How can I stack them by the variables X1,X2,...,X6? Thank you for your help. Kenneth

Hi all, I've been trying for hours, but I do not find a Solution. I want to plot 12 variables over time in separate diagrams in one plot/window using lattice. Two columns, six rows. I used print with the split command, but the graphics are getting really small. Can someone please help me. Following data example: dta = data.frame( day=c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7),

Hello everyone and season's greetings. I have an array that looks like that R<-c(1,2,3,4,5,6). Is it possible to select all the elements but except one? For example to not select the third element and get back (1,2,4,5,6)? How can I do that? I would like to thank you in advance for your help Best Regards Alex [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R helpers I would like to plot a string of points as a polygon in xyplot. I'm a bit lost as to how to get the points plotting in the correct order. I would also like some hints on how to render or fill the polygon. Scrpt below and data file attached Thanks Markm library("lattice") # set size of the window windows(height=7, width=10,rescale=c("fixed"))
