Dear Rich, It depends how the data is generated. Although I am not an expert in ecology, I can explain it based on a biomedical example. Certain variables are generated geometrically (exponentially), e.g. MIC or Titer. MIC = Minimum Inhibitory Concentration for bacterial resistance Titer = dilution which still has an effect, e.g. serially diluting blood samples; Obviously, diluting the

I need to understand how and why dcast() adds NAs to a data frame that contained no missing values. The database table of chemical concentrations has all missing values removed because they cannot contribute to data analyses. The structure of the R data frame of these data have no NA values, and neither does the data frame resulting from applying the reshape2 melt() function to it. However,

Hi, I am using the cenmle function from the NADA package and some of my data are negative values. As a result the cenmle function will not work and NaN's are produced. I try to change the distribution to Gaussian, but it still will not run. Could somebody please help me with this? Thanks -- Shane [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Data frame has this structure: 'data.frame': 11169 obs. of 4 variables: $ stream : Factor w/ 37 levels "Burns","CIL",..: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ... $ sampdate: Date, format: "1987-07-23" "1987-09-17" ... $ param : Factor w/ 8 levels "As","Ca","Cl",..: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ... $ quant : num 0.01 0.01 0.01 0.01

Greetings - I am working on some data that contain chemical names with air concentrations, and I am creating a data frame with date/time and each chemical having its own column. However, these are organic chemicals (e.g. 1-butene, 2,3,4-trimethylbenzene etc). The package I am going to be using the data with is openair, and many of the great functions require you to specify a column name which

A statistical question, not specific to R. I'm asking for a pointer for a source of definitive descriptions of what types of data are best summarized by the arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means. As an aquatic ecologist I see regulators apply the geometric mean to geochemical concentrations rather than using the arithmetic mean. I want to know whether the geometric mean of a set of

I have measured values for 47 chemicals in a stream. After processing the original data frame through reshape2, the recast data frame has this structure: 'data.frame': 256 obs. of 47 variables: $ site : Factor w/ 143 levels "BC-0.5","BC-1",..: 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 ... $ sampdate : Date, format: "1996-04-19" "1996-05-21" ... $ Acid :

I am using R for environmental forensics (determination of the sources and/or groupings in mixtures of organic chemicals in the field). The goal is to determine in there are groups of samples with similar/dissimilar compositions, and to assign samples to a potential source or a mixture of sources based on the composition (unmixing and source allocation). Typically there are 10 to 50 chemicals that

Hello to all ! I have two servers using dovecot and want to sync them with doveasm ...... I am using usersb as user backend ....database Can anyone help me config them... Is there any use guide about it ? Thans in advance for the help ! Nick

hello, i have a 5500 iPaq with familiar 0.8.2 on it and i don''t know how to install a traffic shaper tool on it. I installed iproute2 package i found on familiar site and for that i have the tc and ip commands, but when trying to add a qdisc, as a dummy example, i get the next answer: > tc qdisc add dev wlan0 root cbq bandwidth 100Mbit avpkt 100 RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

Hi, I have a data.frame that I need to scale. I've been using the scale function and it works nicely. Some of the libraries I'm testing won't accept negative values for data, so I need to find a way to scale the data from 0 to 1 Any ideas? Thans!

We are reading big tables, such as, Chemicals <- read.table('ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/time.series/wp/wp.data.7.Chemicals',header = TRUE, sep = '\t', as.is =T) I was wondering if it is possible to set a filter during loading so that we just load what we want not the whole table each time. Thanks, -james

Hello-- I have a data for small population who took 1 drug at 3 different doses. I have the actual drug concentrations as well as predicted concentrations by my model. This is what I'm looking for: - Time vs Concentration by ID (individual plots), with each subject occupying 1 plot -- there is to be 9 plots per page (3x3) - Observed drug concentration is made up of points, and predicted drug

Hello Everyone! I am using shorewall-3.0.5 on suse linux. Recently we have implemented dansguardian running on 8080 and squid on port 3128. Previously (before dans guardian) masquerading was working fine but after the implementation of dansguardian masquerading is not working. My rules file has entry Previous entry was ACCEPT loc:192.192.192.3 net REDIRECT loc 8080 tcp

Hi I have measured the UV absorbance (abs) of 10 solutions of a substance at known concentrations (conc) and have used a linear model to plot a calibration graph with confidence limits. I now want to predict the concentration of solutions with UV absorbance results given in the new.abs data.frame, however predict.lm only appears to work for new "conc" variables not new "abs"

Hello. I am using XEN 3.4.2 and 4.0.1 with dom0 based on Centos 5.x and Debian 6.0. I can scale RAM with paravirt domU''s by using xm mem-max and xm mem-set But, I see this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg487553 . Is it possible to change memory at Window HVM domU''s without reboot? Thans a lot! -- Best Regards, alex.faq8@gmail.com

Hi, So I updated my guest from 5.1 to 5.8 via a complete yum update, many many packages BTW. I shutdown the guest, change its "Disk bus" from IDE to Virtio and then upon boot, I get kernel panics as no disk can be found. I do get the splash screen at first however. My guest has /dev/hda, should I change its fstab to reflect /dev/vda instead? Thans in advance, - aurf

Hi helpeRs. When I do two-ways tables dimnames in columns are almost left-adjusted: <- factor(rbinom(30,1,.3),labels=c("first","second")) > b <- a > table(a,b) b a first second first 21 0 second 0 9 If I do a oneway table however, dimnames are right-adjusted: table(a) a first second 21 9 Actually I must admit I
