Friends, I have a POSIXct vector "located" in EST timezone. When I plot against it here in PST, the time axis is shifted 3 hours back in time. IOW, plot adjusts for time zone difference. Now that's really great, if that's what one wants. However, I want time axis to use actual times in object (without any shift). For example: n <- 360 y <- rnorm(n) t <- seq(from =

Max & Friends, I've run into a problem with odfWeave 0.7.5 running under R 2.7.1 (Windows XP, SP2) doing some monthly production reports. Under 2.7.1 I'm getting various parsing errors after Sweaving starts, e.g.: Sweaving content.Rnw Writing to file content_1.xml Processing code chunks ... Error in parse(text = cmd) : unexpected input in "" > Above case works

Hi R folks, I'd like to announce several new R users groups here in SF, LA, NYC, and Ottawa - as well as their next scheduled event. The goal of these user groups, besides gently explaining 'drop=TRUE' to the uninitiated, is to exchange knowledge, promote best practices, and spur the adoption of R for innovative applications. If I've missed any groups here, please feel to add on

Hi, I have an R script which is time consuming because it has two nested loops in it of at least 5000 iterations each, I have tried to use the multicore package but id doesn't seem to improve the elapsed time of the script(a shorter script for example) and I can't use the mcapply because of technical reasons. I was wondering how can I make my script use more cores and memory because I am

Hi all, Is there a way to study the lead and lag relation of two time series? Let's say I have two time series, At and Bt. Is there a systematic way of concluding whether it's A leading B or B leading A and by how much? Thanks!

I was wondering if it would make sense to change the default behavior of the following: summary(15555L) ## Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. ## 15560 15560 15560 15560 15560 15560 summary.default on numeric values rounds values (not just presentation) to getOption("digits")-3L (or four) digits by default, making those values surprising and less suitable for

I have a client running Microsoft SQL Server. I am interested in ways of accessing data from this server using R. I would welcome any information about how this can be done. I have a reasonable grasp of SQL and have experience with MySQL and RODBC but don't know anything much about Microsoft SQL Server.

Hello All, I have data where each feature data point is a vector, and my distance measurement is a weighted dot product between vectors. I would like to use R to perform a cluster analysis on this data. Does one of the R cluster analysis routines provide for a user provided distance function?

hello, I want to use randomForest to classify a matrix which is 331030?42,the last column is class signal.I use ? Memebers.rf<-randomForest(class~.,data=Memebers,proximity=TRUE,mtry=6,ntree=200) which told me" the error is matrix(0,n,n) set too elements" then I use: Memebers.rf<-randomForest(class~.,data=Memebers,importance=TRUE,proximity=TRUE) which told me"the error is

I am new to R and I'd like to use the randomForest package for my thesis (identifying important variables for more detailed analysis with other software). I have found extremely well written and helpful information on the usage of R. Unfortunately it seems to be very difficult to find similarly detailed tutorials for randomForest, and I just can't get it work with the information on

I have two vectors x and y, which I would like to plot against each other. I am also displaying other data in this plot. However, I have about 1 million points to plot, and just plotting them x againt y is not very informative. What I'd like to do is to do sort of a continuous box plot. My x values goes from -1 to 1 and my y values from 0 to 1, so I?d like to plot the median and quantiles,

Hi All, I'm learning JGR 1.4-15 with R 2.4.1 in Windows XP (all patches applied). JGR looks great but I'm having trouble getting the data editor to save my results. I don't see anything in R-help about it. Here are the steps I followed: 1. I chose "Tools>Object Browser" & double-clicked on a data frame, "mydata". 2. A spreadsheet editor popped up and

Hi everybody, I am a new R user. Is there any package devoted to "text mining" analysis in R ? Thanks Gilles lepape.gilles at neuf.fr

Well, I downloaded the install JGR package for Windows and that seemed to work fine, after the installation I ended up with a modified R window which looked nice and uncluttered. Which I like. Very much. On the other hand, I cannot see how to launch the thing again once I have closed that window. There is supposed to be a launcher somewhere (JGR.exe?), but I have not been able to find it.
