I have spatial data on a sphere (the Earth) for which I would like to run an gls model assuming that the errors are autcorrelated, i.e. including a corSpatial correlation in the model specification. In this case the distance metric should be calculated on the sphere, therefore metric = "euclidean" in (for example) corSpher would be incorrect. I would be grateful for help on how to

Hi, I would like to use the effect() function (actually a slightly modified version of it) on the output of the lmer() function in the lme4 package. But the effects package requires the nlme pacvkage, which is incompatible with lme4. Workaround? ______________________________________________ Professor Michael Kubovy University of Virginia Department of Psychology for mail add: for FedEx or

Hi all, We know that Hermite polynomial is for Gaussian, Laguerre polynomial for Exponential distribution, Legendre polynomial for uniform distribution, Jacobi polynomial for Beta distribution. Does anyone know which kind of polynomial deals with the log-normal, Student抯 t, Inverse gamma and Fisher抯 F distribution? Thank you in advance! David [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I just encountered another RTFM problem: With diff(as.POSIXct(...), ...) I was unable to control the units of the results. Examples: > (d.d <- diff(as.POSIXct(c('2012-12-12', '2012-12-13')))) Time difference of 1 days > (d.h <- diff(as.POSIXct(c('2012-12-12 08:00', '2012-12-12 09:00')))) Time difference of 1 hours > (d.m <-

Dear All I inserted a frequently used function (subroutine) right into my Rprofile.site which allows me to run it each time-works great. However, this approach is obviously suitable for a short function or a small number of functions. Instead of inserting the lines in Rprofile.site, is there a way to insert one line pointing to (fetching) the function in a local drive, similar to #include

Hello: What is the recommended method for retaining the tzone attributes when concatonating POSIXct objects? > (d1 <- ISOdate(1970,1,1)) # Sets the tzone attribute = GMT [1] "1970-01-01 12:00:00 GMT" > (d1.2 <- c(d1, d1)) # c(..) strips the tzone attribute, displays in the time zone of the operating system [1] "1970-01-01 04:00:00 PST" "1970-01-01

Hello All: I'm still unable to get Rprofile.site to set, e.g., options(max.print=222), as I did with previous versions of R. I just found similar questions posed by Trevor Miles and Ross Bowden with replies by Uwe Ligges and Duncan Murdoch. In addition to the things I tried documented below, I also copied Rprofile.site into "R_HOME/etc/i386" and

Hello, All: The "writeFindFn2xls" function in the "sos" package tries to write an Excel file with 3 sheets ('PackageSum2', 'findFn', 'call'). Unfortunately, it is often unable to do this because of configuration problems that are not easy to fix. I've found 3 contributed packages that provide facilities to write Excel files with

Hello all, To anyone who is interested, I'm trying to learn a bit more about developing applications in R with user interfaces. I've been playing around with gWidgets to develop a model building interface. I'd appreciate any comments, suggestions, or guidance on how to better structure my R code and organize the programming task. In addition, any suggestions for features and

Hello, All: What thoughts might you have on "The R Software Package Development Process"? I'm looking for ideas, materials, references, and / or collaborators for an article on this topic to be submitted to the Communications of the ACM. My limited experience with other languages such as Matlab and Python suggests that R may be fairly unique with CRAN and this

Hello, All: What can people tell me about converting back slashes to forward slashes in character strings? Several years ago, Prof. Ripley provided a solution, which I lost and have not been able to find. Below please find a function to do this. I do not find this very satisfactory, however, because it uses "scan" and therefore operates on an input not a

Hi all, I need your opinion about using R-Rapache to build a knowlegde base to bioinformatics field. I have copious amount of genotype information (some few million records) and would like to store it in MySQL database. Then, using RMySQL connector I would like to use it for further analysis using R over a web interface. The web interface which I am thnking off, just does not serve the purose of

Hello, All: How can I obtain the location of an example data file in a package during "R CMD check"?

It occurs to me to put such a file in "\inst\rawdata" and have examples find the data using something like "system.file('rawdata',

Hello, I am interested in generating a compact letter display for the results of Tukey HSD tests that contain interaction effects. The 'cld' method in the 'multcomp' package seems only to work for main effects. Does such a thing exist already?
