Hi, I noticed that the R reference manual seems to be missing the license permissions on the copyright page. Below is a patch to "refman.top" which adds the same permissions as the @permission{} macro in "R-defs.texi". I'm filing this bug as I have been preparing to publish the R Reference Manual (in several volumes). I plan to donate 5 EUR to the R-foundation for each

The patch below attempts to correct some unclear sentences in the R documentation. In the case of coplot.Rd it wasn't clear whether "shingle" bar had a special meaning or was a typo for "single". I've just put a comment in that case. regards -- Brian Gough Network Theory Ltd -- Publishing Free Software Manuals 15 Royal Park Bristol BS8 3AL United Kingdom Tel: +44

Hi, Below I've flagged some sentences in the R documentation (from cvs) which are garbled in some way. If anyone can clarify what these sentences should say I'd be grateful. The problems were picked up as part of the proof-reading of the R manuals by Ciaran O'Riordan. After looking at the text neither of us could figure out what the documentation was meant to say. -- Brian Gough

Dear useRs, how can I construct a box&whisker plot based on the vector "fivenum"? The challenge I face is as follow: I have a table such as x | fivenum --------------- ... | (.....) ... | (.....) and so forth.... For each observation x I have generated a vector containing the fivenum estimates. The first challenge is to group my fivenum vectors into groups based on a

I've just started using R and am still a neophyte, but I found the following curious result. I'm using the current version of R (2.5.1 (2007-06-27) ). Why are the results for the third quartile different in the output from the summary and fivenum commands? For the following data set 457 514 530 530 538 560 687 745 745 778 786 790 792

I'm having trouble understanding the output from as.windrose(). For one thing, data on a boundary between sectors seem to be left out of the counts. I assume that explains the missing point in the output below (angle 45). Shouldn't one side of each sector interval be open, to include values such as my 45 in the example? Also, why does the angle 180 in my input apparently not result in

Full_Name: David Leong Version: 2.7.2 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (12.187.86.2) It appears for the fivenum function, there is a strait average between two ranked samples. This should be a linear interpolation between ranks. For the following data set #data

I'm using the image.plot() function (fields package), but I want to enlarge the characters of the legend (as they are too small to be read in a combined figure), but there is no way I can find a command to do this. I can enlarge the legend bar (with legend.witdh), axis character size (cex.axis) or the total legend size (legend.shrink), but not the character size of the legend characters

I must apologize in advance for asking a simple question. I am sure that a clue will be sufficient to get this show on the road. I am trying to graph tide prediction data in various ways. I haven't been able to answer this question after pouring over TFM. I read the datafile theight <- read.table("tides",header=TRUE) I do get a summary() or fivenum()

Hi, In order to use the mle2-function, one has to define the likelihood function itself. As we know, the likelihood function is a sum of the logarithm of probability density functions (pdf). I have implemented myself the pdfs that I am using. My problem is, that the pdfs values are negative and I cann't take the logarithm of them in the log-likelihood function. So how can one take the

(apologies if this looks like a re-post, I just sent a similar message to the r-help mail list. This version is via Nabble.) My intended application is error propagation using the ISO GUM Supplement 1 approach (propagation of distributions using Monte Carlo strategies). To automate uncertainty analysis I typically have the following data: (1) a measurement function y(x1,x2,...xn) (2) 'n'

I've tried reporting this to Adobe, but they are remarkably deaf to such an enormous market of free software users. At least as of AR 9.3, including the latest 9.3.1, I have been unable to view or work with the savable fill-in PDFs that I've pulled off the web in the last couple of months. I have no trouble at all with them in my Windows virtual machine, but the Linux version starts up,

For some reason, when I try to print any graphic PDF (or a PS file made from said graphic), it kills my Minolta 1100 laser printer, and I have to cancel the job, disable the printer and turn the printer off and on as many times as it takes to clear its buffer of the trash. I'm running CentOS 5.0 and have tried Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 for Linux; I have also tried printing the pdf to a file

Dear list, I am currently scraping some text data from several PDFs using the readPDF() function in the tm package. This all works very well and in most cases the encoding seems to be "latin1" - in some, however, it is not. Is there a good way in R to check character encodings? I found the functions is.utf8() and is.local() in the tau package but that obviously only gets me so far.

Hi, I'm trying to save heatmaps as PDFs. However, the PDF version of the heatmaps (Heatmap_CAFvsTNF_run2.pdf) is blurred when compared to its counterpart, which was saved manually by using the software "Grab" (Heatmap_CAFvsTNF_run2.tiff). -----R code-------- sample_output <- "stroma_run2" filename <-
