Hi I know how to referenc R in a scientific paper - but is there a standardised way to reference packages?

Hi I upgraded to R 2.10.0, and I encounter a problem with some packages on R, installed via apt-get.. They are still compiled by 2.9 and give me an warning when I load the packages. Will these packages be recompiled with R 2.10, or should I rather switch to self-compiling? Cheers, Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug, PhD (Conservation Ecology, SUN), MSc (Conservation Biology, UCT), Dipl.

Hi this might be a little bit off topic, but here it goes: lets assume I have the following: set.seed(13) dat1 <- rnorm(2000, mean=10, sd=10) dat2 <- rnorm(100, mean=10, sd=20) d.all <- density(dat, n=1024) d.co <- density(x[[v]], , from=min(d.all$x), to=max(d.all$x), n=1024) d.diff <- list( x = d.all$x,

Hi is there an easy and fast way, to generate a BibTeX file of all installed / loaded packages and R? I know about toBibtex(citation()) to extract the BibTeX for a single package, but how can I generate a file containg citations for all installed / loaded packages?

Hi I am testing a package, and after I make changes, I have to close R and open R again to load the new version (same version number) of the package I am working on. So my question: is there a function which removes a package, i.e library(myPackage) > Package is loaded unlibrary(myPackage) > package is not loaded any more Thanks, Rainer -- Rainer M.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Just to be sure: I couldn't find a way of creating an interactive 3d graph which can be embedded in a pdf - is it correct that this can not be done with R?

Hi I am trying to install the package "pheno", but it needs the package "nprq" by Roger Koenker et al. which I can I find this package?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi I have to replace the last element of a vector with 0, but the length of x is not known at coding time. So I do the following: x <- 1:10 x x[length(x)] <- 0 x it is working nicely, but I am wondering: is there a more elegant solution( like tail(x, 1) <- 0 , which does not work)?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi I would like to create a Namespace during runtime, and not during loading a package. My reasoning is that I want to be able to store a number of variables and to "protect them from the user" (might be even myself). The code will not be in a package, but will be source()ed. Next step: pass variables from org mode / emacs to R and to

Hi is there an alternative to par(new), for ading data to a plot for a different y-axis? My problem with par(new=TRUE) is, that it re-defines all axis and labels (as in example 1) and one has to use xlim=... to fix the x-axis. I am looking for something, which simply resets the y-axis, so that a new plot() (or points()/lines()) keeps the x-axis, but re-defines the y-axis. Is there something

Hi Dirk, Thanks for the explamnayion - Debian is running in a VM (and nothing really installed on it) , and I think the easiest is for me just to install Debian 10 and to use that one.

Hi I want to do a series of linear models, and would like to define the input arguments for lm() as variables. I managed easily to define the formula arguments in a variable, but I also would like to have the "subset" in a variable. My reasoning is, that I have the subset in the results object. So I wiould like to add a line like: subs <- dead==FALSE & recTreat==FALSE which

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi I have 10.000 simulations for a sensitivity analysis. I have done a few sensitivity analysis for different response variables already, but now, as most of the simulations (if not all) show some cyclic behaviour, see how the independent input parameter influence the frequency of the cyclic changes and "how cyclic" they actually are. So

Hi Let's assume, I have a dataset of 1000 datapoints, which represent daily recordings of a measurement. They are stored as a ts object (see example below) Now I want to represent them as a barplot. I found the barplot in the zoo package, but I have one problem: the x-axis labels. I would like to have the x-axis labels as either years only (located at the beginning of the year), or
